Chris Ryan's cohosts the Hollywood Prospectus podcast with Greenwald and has an eminently punchable voice.

Litman also did the reality show podcast and Food news, both with Dave Jacoby.

I've seen a lot of the Grantland sports writers sing Mallory Rubin's name in praise.

Whatever came of David Hill? I remember he had a fantastic article on Grantland about pool of all things, and I don't think he's done anything in 2015.

Fennessey tweeted that they're working on a 'new, unnamed project,' which makes more sense than them working on Simmons's HBO show.

I will miss the hell out of NBA After Dark. Every sport should have a relaxed podcast dealing primarily with the goofy off the field drama. Sports is soap opera for boys, lets act like it.

It's time to play: Spot The Thinly Veiled Racism

http://triblive.com/sports/robrossi/9234176-74/pirates-mccutchen-huntington#axzz3oFu8FaHU

quote:


Why isn't Andrew McCutchen an MVP-caliber player in the postseason?

No home runs.

No RBIs.

No big moments.

Everybody is waiting for McCutchen to deliver, like a franchise player is expected to do.

Criticism of his underwhelming Octobers is fair, deserved and no different than what is directed at the Penguins' Sidney Crosby and the Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger.

Crosby owns a championship ring.

Roethlisberger owns two championship rings.

McCutchen owns earrings.

As a Pittsburgh all-timer, his résumé has a hole.

It's something that can be traced to the odd spacing afforded by newspapers, but yeah this is extra pretentious.

He's only saying Andrew McCutcheon owns "rings" but not of the put-on-your-hand-because-you-won-a-trophy variety. Sometimes McCutcheon plays with them in and they're pretty visible. He's not saying "HA ANDREW MCKITCHEN IS A friend of the family!" It's still a really dumb article though, especially because of the Bill Plasckle Style Format paragraph spacing.

For the record, Rothelisberger and Crosby do not wear earrings. Also, Rothelisberger is a creepy man with a gray penis.

If Abbott deleted the tweet you're not supposed to retain/publish a screenshot of it on twitter I believe. It killed a politician tweet tracking thing a while back.

People are so stupid. The NBA owns social media because they encourage youtube highlights, .gifs, etc. How hard is it to look at the great job they do and say "OK, we should do exactly that"?

The NBA is so far ahead of the other leagues when it comes to embracing social technology. It seems like they got it from day 1. They even have Social Media Awards and hired some guys who started a podcast in a living room to create a show on their channel. Meanwhile the NFL fines you if you tweet to close to the start or finish of a game :rolleyes:

edit
This sums up how badly the other leagues handle it. The NFL is 10 times more popular than the NBA (probably more). The official NBA twitter account has 25% more twitter followers than the NFL one. David Stern went on a podcast 5 years ago. Goodell, as far as I know, still has not.

That poo poo has value, you can't just give it away, for free! The League has to monetize every potential revenue stream to maximize revenue for ownership or we could see the end of the NFL as we know it! You don't want to see the end of the NFL as we know it, do you? DO YOU?!

They won't go look for content if they have no idea the gifs and the videos are there to be found, and since the NFL's social media/web presence is lacking for a league of its size...

The NBA is the best league. They had their moments like the stupid ball and Donaghy but they rarely pull moves the NFL constantly does. Hell, even the dress code has turned into one of the best things about the sport.
