Deh leever shot!

Bas Rutten nods in approval.

The winner: Prince.

Mikey v Loma at 35 is the fight we deserve.

Not giving a shit about the bureaucracy has always been a stumbling block.

I legitimately don’t know how I feel about this. It was impressive to see what Jones did, how he won after such a long layoff and how he acted after that victory. So even if I wasn’t a Jon Jones fan, there’s a certain charm to a redemption story, yet at the same time this is insane. I am trying to figure out if this…

Because Nick Diaz is apparently the smartest motherfucker in the game.

Meanwhile, Nick Diaz is still serving his five year ban

I know nothing about this sport but Daniel Cormier has a right to be livid, yeah?

Thanks for the well-reasoned response. So what makes these professions different from other highly sought after positions, such as investment banking or law, where free labor is unheard of? Perhaps it’s the ridiculously low barriers to entry? Something else?

I’m really having a hard time caring that fans of particular teams aren’t getting paid for blogging about their teams when they took the positions knowing the compensation involved. The vast majority of the bloggers there would be otherwise just writing long posts on their favorite team’s message boards if they…

I’m honestly curious: what profession heavily relies on unpaid labor? Blogging, sure. Graphic design? Photography? I honestly would like to know.

lol ok

But is it a problem if these unpaid contributors continue to submit content because they enjoy it? Maybe not being paid isn’t a big deal to some even if it generates ad revenue for the company that runs/owns the site.

Interesting write up. I actually write for an SBNation site and generally admire and am impressed with our site managers, do have a stipend, and always thought of it as a labor of love. I’m probably under paid but that’s not really why I’m doing it. But certainly understand the sticking points made.

If a few of the more popular writers banded together and started a site on Wordpress or whatever, would they be able to exceed what they’re making now if they used Adsense or something similar?

Yeah, I’m sure you would quit a job that has unpaid interns. I doubt those guys have SB Nation stock options. It’s mighty easy to shame people for not quitting when you don’t have mouths to feed. And I’m not just saying that because I like those guys. I like Ufford, Spencer Hall has turned into a fart sniffer with a…

This seems like a pretty generous use of the word “exploited.” I dunno. Fans blogging and getting paid for it seems like an ok model in most circumstances? If they want to have vox host their blogs they need to hit certain targets. If they can’t or don’t want to... then they don’t have to blog..? Was it ever…

i will never understand people that buy cars to not drive them..... theres only so much looking at a car i can do before i get bored.. i’ll never get bored of driving them (well... some cars i might...)

Doug, Roberta... look, I don’t think you’re going to get your asking price, or even close to your asking price. While the Marauder is a cool car, it’s not yet a classic. Maybe in another few decades, but not yet.
