That article was magical and it appears that multiple members of the site's upper management were leaking info to Howard to make it all possible. Whitlock obviously has no editorial bone in his body but it must have been tough as hell to actually edit his content.

That guy's issues go well beyond Josh Hamilton.

And reading team-specific SBNation blogs is Doing It Wrong.

Zach Lowe should go back to Sports Illustrated because their NBA writing has always been fantastic and with him they'd be a juggernaut. SI has been laying people off but hopefully he could be enticed over.

Wesley Morris, Charlie Pierce, Brian Phillips etc. can, as mentioned, write for anybody they want about whatever they want. Here's hoping Morris sticks to film criticism, at which he has been a joy.

If FOX was smart, they would snap up Jonah Keri and Ben Lindbergh for baseball, quietly one of the best writing duos on Grantland. They'd also fight with SI over the college football writers; Matt Hinton is easily in the top 5 on the site, regardless of expertise/subject matter.

No idea what Sean McIndoe and Katie Baker (hockey) could do in a post-Grantland world. Baker was great at Deadspin and would probably be better suited at Vice Sports or at BuzzFeed Sports. (Or she could go back to work for Goldman Sachs.) McIndoe, if he wants to leave, ought to hope for a soft landing at SI.

Count Jonathan Abrams and Jordan Conn into the "whatever, whenever" subset.

The pop culture writers will have no trouble finding work. Shea Serrano in particular can do just about anything in that sphere.

A smart media organization would hire Rembert Brown as Ta-Nehisi Coates lite. He writes thinkpieces on race that are enjoyable to read.
