Crazy Ted posted:Yeah. He Tweeted out something that you could find in five seconds on Football-Reference if you were interested. What would have been far more interesting was if Rovell had discussed how much money Borland would have potentially been walking away from, supposing that if he keeps playing football he's a key player in the 49ers defense and has at least a decent career. Eh, the only contract you're guaranteed to have is the current one, who knows if he would have blown out his knee or something and has his career end that way. Speculating on future earnings is pointless, which amazes me that Rovell doesn't do it.

Every time I see Darren Rovell all I can think of is he's an unironic version of the MY BRAND guy from this commercial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCJ5BNKdWbo

I kind of suspect thay in his early life Darren Rovel created Taylor Swift in a lab with some kind of Weird Science type shenanigans. She is basically Brand made flesh (not that that's a bad thing, her brand is unimpeachable).

The most unrealistic part of that scenario is the idea that Darren Rovell created anything at any point in his life.

As Deadspin points out, not only is Rovell a soulless weasel, he's also a business reporter who doesn't understand business http://deadspin.com/espns-sports-business-reporter-doesnt-understand-sports-1692958056 He got destroyed for this nonsense on Twitter by lots of people. Writers, economists, even Brandon McCarthy.

I've had nightmares that Simmons leaves ESPN and Grantland gets turned over to Rovell who creates Brandland, a shameless rimjob to #Brands and corporate champions that somehow ends up influencing ESPN's editorial policies and ultimately the world. I gotta start doing drugs so I can have better dreams, or at least more coherent ones.

certain sites/platforms benefit from personalization. ESPN is not one of them. It remains one of the few (maybe only) widely relied upon mainstream sports-media outlets. It should not become some facebook-like scroll-athon where I have to log in every time I want to get rid of Dallas Cowboy pop-ups or random tweets from the Golden State Warriors what a loving mess BWV fucked around with this message at 05:25 on Apr 1, 2015 |

If you select "Classic View" it's still the new template, but it replaces Nate Silver's head with Rick Reilly's.

I am nowhere near any of these teams.  It just needs a New England Patriots for maximum screen punchage.

I don't know if it tries to use your IP address or the one of your ISP, but mine has a bunch of stuff about the Pelicans, Saints, and LSU. Which makes sense because I'm in south Louisiana.

Pretty soon more website traffic is going to be mobile and tablet than desktop, serving a separate m dot site rather than using responsive design now makes no sense.

When you read these sites on mobile, do they also have half the phone screen being taken up by useless poo poo? Literally the entire left half of the screen is taken up with the article links and a comically intrusive sidebar for social media sharing. http://i.imgur.com/nRnaj4x.png. You have to scroll so much because so much space horizontally is being used.

I like it fine. The favorites bar on the left saves a few steps if you actually use it, and the "Now" bar is a decent mix of actual news and dumb crap. Looks good on the phone, too.

Holy poo poo that's slow on the work machine. I now can't find literally the only thing I was visiting ESPN to see, the implosion of ~my company bracket~. I do admit I like the ability to customize the top bar to include/omit sports you want to see or never think about.

You have to scroll so much because so much space horizontally is being used. Shrink your browser horizontally and the site will eventually adjust to the mobile version. Odds are, the site uses Bootstrap for the responsive design. As a result, the layout can change at four different horizontal browser widths: Phones (<768px), Tablets (≥768px), Desktops (≥992px), Large Desktops (≥1200px). You can just drag the left or right side of your browser to see what those different layouts look like.

It actually loads and reads faster than the old ESPN did on my computer, but the design is pretty garbage. There's very little to no flow and your eye is drawn all over the place. Also articles sometimes don't have a complete beginning or end as you can just keep scrolling. Frames all over the place.
