magic and wilbon were completely and totally insufferable
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 October 2013 20:19 (ten years ago) link
Im not a huge fan but he is better than anyone else on that show no doubt. Magic was the worst he can be gone and stay gone faic.
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Thursday, 10 October 2013 20:20 (ten years ago) link
yeah magic and wilbon are terrible
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 October 2013 20:31 (ten years ago) link
Replacing Wilbon with Doris Burke is a huge upgrade imo
― polyphonic, Thursday, 10 October 2013 20:38 (ten years ago) link
<3 doris
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 October 2013 20:41 (ten years ago) link
does that mean less doris doing games tho?
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 10 October 2013 20:47 (ten years ago) link
Doris is cool if a little dry but yah big upgrade. Also Doug Collins back is alright.
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Thursday, 10 October 2013 20:51 (ten years ago) link
a good bit would be trolling collins ocd

as you can see theres 12 seconds left on the clock when he takes the shot, theres 12.7 seconds left

thats 6 six point swing, it was actually a 7 seven point swing

haha yes perfect
― Me & Mahomies (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Thursday, 10 October 2013 23:08 (ten years ago) link
doris and doug collins are huge huge upgrades over wilbon and magic tho
i wonder if hes going to install an actual host or what since simmons himself is awful at that part
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Thursday, 10 October 2013 23:09 (ten years ago) link
i have to say i figured he would just walk given that he spent all year plus the summer complaining about the show
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Thursday, 10 October 2013 23:10 (ten years ago) link
what would he be with nothing to complain about

grantland got a redesign, its pretty bad
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:00 (ten years ago) link
yeah it sucks but i always say that about new designs so we'll see
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:09 (ten years ago) link
yeah i always liked the simplicity of the old design (esp w/ adblocker) but this is understandable, does a better job of promoting all their content or whatever. mainly just relieved they haven't gone to that 'this will look like garbage if you're not reading it on a tablet' design new republic and a bunch of others have adopted.
― balls, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:14 (ten years ago) link
i liked the old design, never had trouble finding anything. it looks more cluttered now.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:15 (ten years ago) link
yeah their old design was more in keeping w recent white space and readability trends, tho they werent really clever or detail oriented enough to fit that much content in there, the new one has tons of content but is a total mess and a definite step backward as far as the evolution of web design, and its got a bunch of really corny lowest common denominator details, especially that sticky top stories box in the margin my god what is this techcrunch, nagl for a publication trying to brand themselves as quality

lets get some of those full width images everyone has nowok cool good idea what if the headline overlapped that in a odd haphazard waygreat and we can add some navigation above that where if youre reading the most recent feature there will be an awkward empty space
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:27 (ten years ago) link
ugh @ all that ugly white space after the article title & summary
― Clay, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:29 (ten years ago) link
oh also you know those side notes that are kind our thing lets just cram em in there lol

o it definitely feels like a step back
xpost jeez thought it was just the splash page or whatever, didn't know they'd fucked up the actual readability of the posts now
― balls, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:31 (ten years ago) link
over 34K ppl follow jacko on twitter. wtf.
― balls, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:33 (ten years ago) link
i don't have that weird overlap with the headline on my comp
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:37 (ten years ago) link
oh n/m i didn't realize it was on the feature page, not the homepage
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:38 (ten years ago) link
are you looking at the article page or the home page ha xp tech support is reading yr mind
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:39 (ten years ago) link
hahaha yeah the article page redesign is horrific
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:40 (ten years ago) link
its like the opposite of what the times did w their redesign, like its fine i guess to try and just cram everything into the home page but the article pages shd be designed to maximize readability otherwise people arent going to like reading yr articles and they wont even know why theyll just not like you

They used to turn into footnotes on tablets and they still do only now no "jump" link to return to the article sure ill scroll up 10k words after I read this one line DJ mbenga joke actually nope
― z-time champion (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:52 (ten years ago) link
the whole thing is just so dumb, do not have notes of any kind unless you have a ton of sources to site its v annoying and pointless
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:57 (ten years ago) link
obvs its not hard to imagine simmons brainstorming ways to fit more inane asides into his writing
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 15 January 2014 02:58 (ten years ago) link
i don't read much grantland other than simmons or lowe but lowe could really do without the footnotes anyway, actually he should basically stick to x's and o's i basically hate every opinion he has
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 15 January 2014 04:38 (ten years ago) link
that basically how i break it down to an extent
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 15 January 2014 04:39 (ten years ago) link
hate the footnotes because they don't work in my offline reading app where i pretend i am going to read things later
