DildenAnders posted:Idk, yeah it comes off as a bit crotchety, but I think he has correctly identified the NFL's messaging problem: it's far too diverse and not nearly jingoistic enough. Hell, with war with Iran possibly on the horizon, how in white Jesus's good name did they leave Pat Tillman's grave unexposed?!?! what are you talking about they had that incredibly out of place visit to Pat Tillman's statue in that commercial with the kid running the ball into the arena. Can't leave out a memory of Pat Tillman (although you can leave out literally all of the context behind why he died because no one wants to hear about that because it might make the military look bad)

I have to imagine Spotify will slowly move their new purchases behind the paywall at some point. Just paying way too much money to recoup off MeUndies ads.Lockback posted:I clicked on the side banner thing in a desperate attempt to make this sports blog something attractive to spin into something real and I noticed the amazing custom URL dashlane is using for it: A password manager owned by a credit reporting agency.

By most reports the Ringer podcasts have been wildly profitable. I think podcasts have been free for too long for a paywall model to work. Id imagine Spotifys model here is to take established podcast brands and launch new podcasts that can only be listened to through Spotify.

The New Republic has an article up on the Spotify/Ringer deal: https://newrepublic.com/article/156483/spotify-acquisition-ringer-says-online-media Core point - Companies and publishers see podcasts as a growth market with robust advertising possibilities, which is the grim opposite of online text content.

They dont bother me too much with podcasts as long as the 30 second skip button is available.

live reads work well on live broadcasts, especially if they're read by broadcasters who know what they're doing when they're skippable and read by some plain white nerd who ums and uhs his way through it, not so much

Were you guys not using sports forums when that story came out? Also the part of the doc where Rob Thomas is randomly being asked about his sentencing at like an aiport(?) and says Vick should be hanged is loving insane.

I just randomly saw the link on ESPN to an article about rebuilding the greatest dynasty in sports with a picture of a young woman basketball player. Out of curiosity I clicked on it and its about the #1 womens basketball recruit who is apparently committed to UConn and the authors premise is that the UConn program has fallen on hard times and needs rebuilt. Just so were clear. UConn has been to 12 straight final fours and is currently 20-2 and ranked in the top 5.

Oh my god you aren't kiddingquote:But the UConn team Bueckers will be joining hardly resembles that of the most dominant team of the past decade. Although the streak of 12 consecutive trips to the Final Four remains unbroken, in each of the past three seasons, the Huskies have failed to claim a title. Add to that the graduation of WNBA Rookie of the Year Napheesa Collier and fellow WNBA first-round pick Katie Lou Samuelson, a 2019 recruiting class that saw only two signings in No. 21 Aubrey Griffin and Anna Makurat, a 16-point loss to No. 6 Baylor in early January and an 18-point loss to No. 3 Oregon in early February and this season appears to be a continuation of a slow, albeit almost imperceptible decline that has nudged UConn from its perch atop the women's game. "They've spent over a decade going to the final four but haven't won a championship in THREE WHOLE YEARS!! The dynasty is crumbling!"

A team that has spent the last decade going almost completely undefeated, and at one point had a 111 game win streak... is in desperate need of rebuild because this year they're 20-2. E: and a 90 game win streak! DJExile fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Feb 10, 2020 |
