Lockback posted:I think some people were upset because Rolling Stone said they weren't going to fire anybody. On one hand it seems like a screw up like that should cost someone their job, on the other firing people isn't exactly a solution. Reputation isn't totally everything in news, but it's pretty drat close. Saying you did absolutely nothing after a story you sold as a monster that turned out to be completely false is incredibly damaging, especially for a has-been publication that's trying desperately to remain relevant.

To bring this back to sports (in the sense that it's by a sportswriter and bowfishing is technically sport) and things that aren't deeply upsetting, Holly Anderson's piece on a Florida Man is one of the funniest things I've ever read. It apparently came out in late February but it was just brought to my attention yesterday by Jon Bois' twitter and I don't remember seeing anything about it in this thread.

Complicating matters that fateful afternoon was the DIY land-to-sea strategy employed by Oliver’s brother when making his own bowfishing rig, which involved grabbing that oversize compound bow intended for taking down land-based quadrupeds and duct-taping to it a child’s Snoopy fishing reel. This is hilarious

Holly Anderson is one of my favorite writers at Grantland, even though I mostly only read her pop culture stuff because I don't care about college football. Her exhaustive rankings of the Fast & Furious franchise was also quite good.

There's two options here: 1) he gets to Wheeling and thinks "yeah I'm going to stop in a strip club here" 2) he's cruising along and thinks "poo poo I really need to swing by a strip club like right now." Neither is reflective of good life choices

So Simmons gets three weeks for calling Roger Goodell a liar (which, of course, he is), and this sociopath gets a week. I guess no one at ESPN is currently loving Simmons.

This doesn't really reflect very poorly on ESPN as a whole, at least to the general public.
