    Ads are clearly their top priority judging from the 3 I see every time I load up a story/page. One of the many reasons I need a new sports site.

    Interested to see where Simmons lands.

    So Bill will not be doing any more work for any ESPN platforms. Was just announced that they're ending the contract now rather than in September.


    Does anyone know what the deal with the Grantland writers tweeting each other yesterday was all about?

    Love how ESPN isn't having Simmons work there anymore, but still using his name to get people to click on Grantland

    I found Rembert's tweet about them to be hilarious.

    But they're all about the click-bait and they know people really want information about his situation.
