AsInHowe posted:It's absolutely perfect that they are using the real names of writers, instead of the stupid Barstool nicknames. It's drilled down to just exactly what has happened on-record. Some of the bullets are worse than the others but the article does a good job establishing patterns of abuse and misconduct.

The X-man cometh posted:A lot of businesses are run by people who are as disgusting as Barstool personalities. It's this. They keep getting more mainstream respected figures outside of just sports on their shows, and it's helping normalize them as "the guys who totally learned those lessons from the halcyon days of like a year ago". It's the same kind of astroturfing TEA party folk did in 2009 with political poo poo. It's about making an everyman ideal advertisers want and then selling it in perpetuity.

MourningView posted:He dances around right wing talking points and is clearly into that stuff (not surprising for an Andrew Bogut friend/hype man) but he also wants people to think he's smart so he half asses it rather than just going full bore Clay Travis. But maybe that will change now that he is free from his Mainstream Media cage That's why I think Simmons is a better comparison point than a shock jock. The first thing Strauss wrote when he was free from the clutches of editorial standards was his opinion of The Sopranos. This isn't someone who I expect can really enter the right wing grift sphere, so my guess is he's going to try to make a Grantland and never mention it

Dexo posted:It's pretty clear that ESPN values Analysts more than reporters. It's not reflective of talent either. ESPN hires a motley of mediocre to poor analysts that just chuck takes they gathered from either reporters in the field, or sometimes thin air. It's tiring to see the reporters, many of whom are more than smart enough to be better analysts than Kendrick Perkins and other analyst hires, stuck where they are. It's hardly the first time Kendrick Perkins has caused a logjam preventing better people from seeing TV time though

habeasdorkus posted:So ESPN is gonna rehire him no later than next season, right? And he's gonna get most if not all of his remaining contract from the Raiders? ESPN was where Gruden worked when these emails were sent. They have shown increased concern about their outward image and aren't going to hire a shitload of baggage back. If anyone hires Gruden next year it'll be one of the chuddy places, Fox Sports, Barstool, etc

morestuff posted:Gruden strikes me way more as a guy who will just gently caress off to Clearwater or somewhere and spend most of his time on a boat I think this too. He could be a right wing shock jock if he wanted. He's never seemed to be that into culture war. His big claims to fame are a SB ring with Tony Dungy's players, and being the Packers coach that picked up Brett Favre at the airport.

He's gonna end up on behind the bastards, he's a serial grooming sex pest who wants to parlay that into pro sports. Best case from these articles is it puts Coors and Dunkin' on blast for supporting this ecosphere.

Codependent Poster posted:The NYT routinely posts poo poo about "moderates" then it takes like five minutes after the story is published for people to look into them and see they're not moderate at all. The New York Times Pitchbot is 100 percent accurate about them. They cry financial hardship then acquire decent sports journalism for half a billion. I wish paywalls kept them from being talked about on Twitter, Christ.

I'm half curious how much the product changes with NYT esque click bait. Their editorial standards are garbage but I dunno how much their poo poo will spill into the sport part. It's the "buoying the news vanguard to fascism" part that people aren't reconciling.
