Hi Darren! Paul George just snapped his leg off! Your reaction? https://twitter.com/darrenrovell/status/495418406875987968 quote:The Pacers are covered for Paul George's injury. If he misses a full season, they would get back $6.3M of the $15.8M they pay him.

Someone (who has much more talent than me) needs to write a front page article lampooning Rovell and have him tweeting/writing about the worst disasters in history.

I simultaneously want that post to be real and not real. If it's real, of course Rovell is the kind of mentally-stunted manchild whose entire life is subsumed by branding. Any other consequence like humanity or compassion or reason or tact is completely alien to this rancid husk of humanity.

It sounds like the site Sports on Earth just fired like 90% of their writers. Seems related to the announcement that USA Today, which owns it, is being spun off from its parent company.

All but three SoE contracts were terminated: Leitch's, Tanier's, and one of the mid-level editors. Part of the reason no one knew what was going on until late in the day is because they fired literally the entire LLC save three guys, of whom only one was in-office and could effectively communicate with the ex-staff. That's basically all I have to say on the matter in public, besides the fact that this was a decision made at the faceless, inhuman business complexity level far above anyone's heads at SoE, including the guys who are still there.

This drives me completely insane as well. I wish they'd hire Chris Brown as their main football guy rather than a guy who writes TURNOVERS, GAMES DECIDED BY A TOUCHDOWN OR LESS, and POINT DIFFERENTIAL WELP 150 times a season and destroys podcasts by having a weird tick where he sucks in his teeth that also drives me nuts.

It really blows that SoE was dismantled. That was a fantastic group of writers who put together pieces there. And I have zero intention of reading the new venture if Will Leitch is the headliner. I still very much like Leitch but he does not capture my imagination outside of movie reviews.
