It's also totally moot. ESPN won't offer itself a la carte because ESPN is making LOL-money, so much that it'd be foolish for the network—and its parent company, Disney—to do anything but exactly what it's doing right now.

SPOILER ALERT: The log grows up to become Groot 25 years later.
I was feeling certain that my next upgrade - which I'm already due for - would be to the next Nexus. If it is 5.9" - and only that - I'm not even going to consider it. I don't know whether Google is trying to get folks on-board with Nexus, but if so this is not at all the way to do it.
50? Do you think henchmen come cheap? There's insurance, FICA, disability, paid sick time and holidays... It boggles the mind. Plus, it's impossible to find good henchmen, so you end up hiring temps. They're super unreliable.
Encourage work‐life balance: Require employees to take lunch breaks and annual vacation and discourage them from always working excessive amounts of overtime.
Olbermann is far more eloquent and careful with his language. Perhaps more importantly, ESPN knows that if they tried to suspend him over his work he would quite the very next day; Simmons isn't that brave yet.
For all its talk of being big tough manly men from Mantown, the NFL is WAY more thin-skinned than the NBA. The NBA laughs that shit off. There's a reason Adam Silver is now far and away the most competent sports commissioner in the US.
How weird. Bill Simmons routinely questions the integrity of an ESPN partner. How often has he accused the NBA of rigging the draft lottery?

Is Bill Simmons that guy you thought was a pussy, but when someone is about to nail you in a bar fight, Simmons hits him over the head with a pool cue?
Simmons gave a minor critique of his employer, and maybe went slightly beyond the bounds of what can be reported with 100% certainty in line with "journalistic standards", and he gets suspended for 3 weeks.
"Yup...these are my overlords."
Ray Rice gets two weeks (initially).
No one else noticed the Kree body in one of the crates at the beginining? The one Dugan started opening and Agent Carter shut abruptly...?
