My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

So what's SB Nation's strategy in spinning off all of its most distinctive voices under separate banners? Does current Vox leadership just not value having a central mothership page for its sports content?

There’s been reporting in the past that it’s much harder to sell ads for the main page than the affiliates

It's this, yeah. SBN's front page doesn't have nearly the popularity that some of the team-specific sites and sub-sites do.

Why don't they do something like the Athletic where you can curate your own feed of columnists and team-specific content?

Because that would probably take software engineers instead of just web designers and thus cost too much.

I've always been vexed about how they select the articles for the front page and isn't surprising no one likes it. You go there like "there were back to back no-hitters in a doubleheader, I look forward to reading about that" and you're greeted with "WNBA second stringer gets new puppy."

The woman who claimed to have blown the Phoenix Suns apparently has a podcast now and her guest this week claims to have taken a dump on Odell Beckham Jr.

The Auburn beat writer they laid off launched a Substack so I didn't renew The Athletic when it expired last week but I still hope they do ok, it was a good read until all this happened.

Honestly it's better than most would probably expect, especially given the stoppage of all sports for months.

I'm sure a significant amount of those subscribers are on discount rates, but all things considered they should have been in far worse shape than they seem to be.

Tom Ley pulling no punches on Spanfeller in the site's mission statement is a must read.

Spanfeller wanted to add box scores to Deadspin at one point. :psyduck:
