Biggest problem with Simmons at the moment is his complete lack of output. There hasn't been an article since the 6th and hasn't been a podcast this month I don't think.

In the words of Jalen Rose: "Keep getting dem checks Bill."

That list is fine, but Zach Lowe way to low imo. I think him and Goldsberry are the best/most interesting writers on Grantland.

he is great but no way I'd put him above the other four I listed

Rem is best, barnwell NFL stats get my dick hard, sharp = #hotsportstakes, and Greenwald is the best TV reviewer around

[tyven]

my issue with barnwell is there are not enough lulz

[tyven]

also a big robert mays fan

[tyven]

what an unbelievable stable of writers they have

[Mertron]

barnwell is pretty funny when he does podcasts with mays

also bill simmons is great. i miss his old season wrapups and comparing teams seasons to movie quotes

in a nutshell ign qq because they only have two people left reading their site and they figured the best way to get money is to try and sue people who link their articles.

[Conrad]

that's a strange social media strategy

[Ksandra]

that's a strange social media strategy

yeah....

The threads in particular they cited people had copied and pasted the whole review. I can see how that would be a revenue loss for them (no need to click the link), BUT we are removing now everything, which I think is going to net them an even greater loss.

I get the butthurt over the snafu around this dinky little website getting their shit stirred by legal threats and how fast y'all niggas buckled (notice the whiplash), but it looks like the company that bought IGN for a couple hundred mil off NewsCorp is a little litigation-crazy of their properties and has a sort of shady history with a few of them. But come on now with the "IGN jealous cause they small lol" delusion.

[Ksandra]

it's ok perm, I really don't think only two people read ign.

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

There's a safeface button somewhere around here

[Antithesis]

[tyven]

what's hilarious is that a former BG poster now writes for IGN, right?

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

oh man it wasn't that dude that does the shitpost reviews on BG was it

[tyven]

nah its one of the chicks abandon stalks

[Kiarax]

Naw it was Lbelle, she hasn't posted here in years.

[Conrad]

I hear she has a bf tho

[Charismatic]

I hear she has a bf tho

lol

[Abandon]

nah its one of the chicks abandon stalks

this nigga

yeah, she writes for them, i see an article of hers pop up every now and then. haven't talked to her in a few months though, and if she has even heard of this mess, i doubt she really knows much about it
