It's bad to post photos of people's secure medical records, even if it's not 100% illegal, IMO.

C. Everett Koop posted:Early candidate for dumbest article of the year "A basket should count what a basket counts. If we start assigning greater value to the length of things, Pinocchio never would stop lying. A stunt has become standard, like bottled water and the ATM, and there is no going back. Yet we must be alert because that's the kind of thinking that leads to curved TVs, driverless cars and Pilates." good argument, imo

I don't always like his stuff (though he is pretty good), but Drew Magary wrote this and I really liked it. http://deadspin.com/5900973/pain-is-a-gift-and-other-notes-from-a-terrified-father-during-a-seven-week-premature-birth I like his sports coverage less than his "lifestyle" stuff like the above or when GQ sends him on adventures. Which I guess is not good for someone who is nominally a sportswriter? My favorite Deadspin articles were by Mr. Baseball but that's different.

Here's another wrinkle in the discussion, possibly: The Ringer just put up another article all about Westworld and suggesting other worlds they'd like. It ends with this line: Disclosure: HBO is an initial investor in The Ringer. I'm not 100% certain, but that doesn't prove they are getting paid to plug Westworld, just that they are in a situation where people might think they are?

To be fair to Jon, the credits indicate he is "creative director" and did the video work while Felix did the writing and of course narration. So the research may not be anything Jon was directly involved in.

I used to read the Ringer daily, listened to their NBA pod (not Bill's), etc but over the last couple years I've just kinda trailed off. My big favorites were NBA Desktop and Shea Serrano's writing and now that those are respectively Takeline and his books, I guess I'm just not in the same market anymore idk.

General Dog posted:Crafting a provocative take is an artform unto itself, but it's something modern Deadspin seems to think can just be brute-forced. I mean, yes, this is by definition a provocative headline, but not in a way that really invites engagement by anyone. It can really only be gawked at. A headline you should gawk at? Someone should make a media group about that.

I've always liked Jason Concepcion's plan for the midseason tourney: make it a Money Cup that's about winning increasingly large piles of money and have the money sitting on a big table courtside with like 4 guards around it and finish the game telecast by handing all the players their share of the money. Keep a Money Cam on the money at all times. Players will try, fans will tune in to see the money and who gets it, bingo bango bongo.

Mooseontheloose posted:I mean for the longest time it was controlled by the newspapers and radio still is king I think when it comes to sports stuff which are super white. I know Bill Simmons is not a great name around here but he talks about how the Boston print media wouldn't let any new writers come in and were actively hostile to anyone who tried to break in. I wonder if it would have helped if Bill had told them about his blacksona Borrowing my dad's copy of The Book of Basketball and finding out that Bill Simmons has a black self insert character named Jabaal Abdul-Simmons that he occasionally pretends to be so he can understand the plight of black athletes was uhh cool.

 As I mentioned, he later asks Jabaal among other things why black players might not like stripping to their shorts and doing feats of strength for white owners to bid on (probably rap music) and also mentions he did not talk to a black person outside the fan/athlete relationship until after high school. Like his idea of making the HOF building a literal tower of greatness is cool but boy its a weird book.
