could see fox sports handing him a boat load of money
between fox and NBC.. or any of these other new sports networks or whatever.. I could easily see them handing him boat load
they threw a ton of money at michelle beadle and a couple ex espn folk.. this could legit be a game changer for them
only thing I really watch outside of sports on espn is PTI (if I happen to get home early enough from the office).. MAYBE a 30/30 (watched the 1st set religious.. then just tailed off).. sometimes the grantland basketball houri dont watch espn other than live sporting events and some 30/30.
Yea. I think ESPN expects him to coming crawling back like Beadle.could see fox sports handing him a boat load of money

Except Bill has a huge following and Beadle is straight trash with no talent
Yeah...and that's the thing. Simmons doesn't need ESPN.

See I wonder about this.
I like reading, I like good long form writing about a diverse range of subjects but how profitable is that?
From what I understand Grantland is a money losing operation, but ESPN underwrites this cost because of the increased prestige and brand loyality it brings to ESPN. How many other place could afford to lose money for a boutique website?
Websites I also enjoy like Vox, The Verge, they still engadge in click bate ish articles designed to juice page views.
Grantland doesn't pump out content to generate clicks it releases like 3-4 articles a day maybe?
I don't know I really like Grantland and Simmons so hopefully another media company gives him money to create something new, becuase im just not sure you can do it as an independant.
I hope he goes to HBO and does something similar to what John Oliver does but with sports.
Also just realized no more Cousin Sal. That podcast was my Monday routine during football season
FOX and Yahoo have serious money and could swoop in but Yahoo has no real TV presence and FOX Sports is gasping for air. Bleacher Report and similar sites would have to promise him the moon to even get into the door. NBA TV could be an option but that limits him as he likes to get into all sports.
I just realized ESPN is firing Bill Simmons while building the cornball brother, uncle tom mothership, black neo conservative propaganda machine for Jason Whitlock. :x
hmmm job openings you sayThere's already talk of a lot the Grantland staff following him.
Their publisher also quit today.
Yeah. That site is done
