I love the defensive descriptions of the coming soon sites on the last. SEE, WE COULD'VE CALLED IT "FOXBORO" BUT WE DIDN'T!!

on the left, rather.
Wow, this site has no content. What happened to the Katie Bakes story?
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 17:16 (twelve years ago) link
the links to the second page of the articles are fucked up--they open the piece in a single page but kick you back to the beginning.

haha this totally looks like someone using a wordpress theme in like late 2006 to try to emulate mcsweeneys or arts and letters daily

also footnotes basically suck, it's like extra tldr
you're a professional, professionally put that shit into the body as a point you're trying to make or leave it out, you're not citing academic journals or something

footnote: they are hilarious when used properly
the klosterman story was a fun read!
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 18:01 (twelve years ago) link
re footnotes it maybe has something to do w/the strange phenomenon of dfw becoming an avatar for hack writers harboring pretensions everywhere

Grantland is ugly, but it's a shit ton easier to read/look at than Gawker Media's current format.

Yeah the design is amateurish but I'm not gonna say that bothers me in the least. As long as the articles are easy to read, right? But I agree with the "hard PG-13" comment above, it's like he knew he could use one "fuck" in his column and was just debating where to put it
― frogbs, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
tbh if grantland had rotating banners (including, naturally, BIG BEAR) all would be a-ok here

Willing to bet that Klosterman, not Simmons, is the one that pushed for Carles.

that's one of the most depressing photos i've ever seen
i'm way too lazy to dig up all the instances when simmons trashed the bruins, tho i'm sure someone else is on it
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 9 June 2011 03:07 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, he crushed them when they were losing.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 9 June 2011 05:14 (twelve years ago) link
well guys tbf his objection to the bruins was always about the fact that ownership didn't spend to the level it could have in the 80s and 90s, and this issue has been made completely irrelevant by the nhl hard cap. so yeah now he's back on the horse but so are a lot of people, it's hockey for chrissakes, it's barely a major sport and lends itself to the bandwagon because the playoff version is so vastly different from/better than the reg season version--essentially he's me with a lot more money.

I liked the Carles article. It's fun to see him try to class it up slightly.

id be funny if carles slowly morphed into a 'serious writer' w/a 'real career'
