If it turns out that HBO is footing the bills each month then this is all much less concerning. Honestly I haven’t gotten that impression so far though so we’ll see. That said, you can’t hire 40 staffers without someone thinking to worry about this stuff, so I’m counting on there being a plan. #FreeBarnwell

I hope that wasn’t the thought process. Simmons seems like a guy who would at least think he’s got plan to make this profitable. But if it were a simple thing then someone would have done it already.

I’ve been wondering about this since he announced the site. I really can’t wrap my head around how this thing is supposed to work. More than just wondering who’s paying for this, I want to know how they were convinced to pony up for it. Maybe Grantland wasn’t as fully monetized as it could have been, but the idea of…

The thing about Pierre is that, despite the accent, he’s actually from New Jersey. Also, he sits between the benches and looks like he’s talking to himself. Man is he bad.

I’m a pretty low key, unobtrusive tourist, if that’s any comfort.

Why do none of you guest on the Deadcast? Marchman is boooooooorrrrring.

Sam, I know you’re new here, but the house style guide specifically states that at no point are Russell Wilson and effusive praise to be used in relation to one another. Important to study up.

Scorched earth. Cleveland vs. Atlanta. General William Sherman was from Ohio too. There’s a better headline here. Come on, Patrick!

That said, Drew is way more of a fart-sniffer than any of these guys. They wouldn’t ever talk about farts in public!

The Postmortal was, dare I say it, thoughtful.

Not that it’s likely to improve the writing, but at least LeBron is miles better as an actor than MJ.

As much as he talks about poop, Drew secretly knows things. It’s pretty weird.

Can we stick to calling him “Diamondbacks great?”

Remember how, before he brought in KG and Ray Ray, people were calling for Ainge’s head?

I mentioned that a head butted goal was disallowed in the Stanley Cup playoffs last year, so I'm still not super clear what his standard is.

Any idea why? I’m pretty stumped over here; my jokes are lame, but not THAT lame.

Can someone here get Barnwell to unblock me on Twitter just so I can favorite that Horseface story?
