Grantland was really good overall, but obviously something was holding it back from a championship site. I mean, the parts were good, it had a star player in Bill Simmons. Now no one could say that Bill Simmons isn't successful, he's like the Phantom Menace of writers, yeah, people might not like him much, but he made money. My buddy Shed and I were talking about this, and he said that Bill Simmons is like his crazy ex-girlfriend, he sucks a lot, but you keep coming back for more. The Ringer, I'm just not sure, it's getting a ton of attention right now due to Bill Simmons, but is it going to be a success? I don't think so. My theory is that the Ringer actually needs to, get this, lose Simmons in order to succeed. Then when everyone writes them off, bam, they're a hit.

a good post.

The great thing about Hamilton Nolan is that he hates suburbia so much that he wants all American metropolitan areas to be laid out like European metropolitan areas, and he just cannot put his finger on why there are such great differences between the two other than MERICA REDNECKS (hint hint the development of affordable automobiles for the average person was kind of a big deal for society)

The last part of that article is probably why JPP will lose, but that was a mighty poo poo thing Schefter did and I would like it if they did lose that case. The newsworthiness part of the information is pretty much explicitly stated to include professional athletes involved in accidents.

I think you can make the legal argument that Schefter could have reported exactly what he did using only words instead posting a picture of Jason Pierre-Paul's medical chart.

Adam Schefter doesn't owe JPP any privacy in the legal sense.

This case is a non-starter.

That's kind of how I feel about it. You can say it and claim "sources". You're Adam Schefter and if you say something like that, people are going to believe you. You don't need to post the guys loving charts on twitter. I know ESPN and all that bullshit but I'm shocked he wasn't fired or suspended after this mess. Actually who am I kidding. They probably gave him a gold watch for the scoop.

Looking forward to Whitlock's rebuttal that the story is actually good, you people don't know the struggle of playing football for a middling midwestern school that nobody gives a poo poo about, and that these black women should've avoided getting criminal records which allowed them to be sexually exploited.

Q: So did ESPN require that you give an interview?

Yes. Because there wasn’t an arrest, because we didn’t know where this happened, my bosses at ESPN told me, “before you go back on air for college football we need you to give a sit-down interview.” And that was the only way I was going to be allowed back.

You should have quoted the second part of that testimony too, because it's loving awful:

Erin Andrews' testimony posted:

We went, I wanted nothing to do with it. I was in the office, or her green room, and I was sitting there and I was just bawling at my parents. “It’s Oprah Winfrey, how do you not want to see her?” And I was just freaking out, and I just said “I don’t want to do this, I don’t want to do this. I just want to go back to college football. I don’t want to talk about what happened to me, why can’t I just be normal? Like, why can’t I go back?”
