Oh good. I was hoping for a True Blood season 4 premiere recap.

I'm ready to give my verdict: Grantland is terrible, pointless, and probably a money drain. Oh, and there's this. Rebutted cleanly by this and this.

This was the worse time to launch it. It seems as if half the articles are about soccer, hockey or baseball (no offense). I think I've seen several tennis articles. Launch this thing in the fall when you have college football, the NFL, the NBA and college bb starting up.
I go there every day and check it out, but there have been too many pointless articles.

I'm averaging maybe one read every other day. I know I'm just one person, but to have a full-time staff of "heavy-hitting" writers has to be extremely expensive and I can't imagine it's a net gain financially.

That seems unbelievable. Why would James Miller know this?

The two articles put up this morning are Reality TV and more tennis. This is unreal.

But isn't this what Simmons does? I've always found him somewhat entertaining but that's about it.

I'd like to see Kornhesier and David Simon write for the site.

I don't know which interests me less: the Reality Show scorecards, or the diary of a guy moving to Vegas. The Vegas Insider thing would have been interesting ten years ago.

OK if Grantland can afford to hire Bill James, that's bullsh*t.

Has Simmons morphed into Skip Bayless? Saying stupid things simply to get a reaction? Wilson, really? A Seattle Super Bowl? I'm not even going to address how Romo is better than half that list. Not a homer talking. Very, very little of Dallas' recent woes are attributable to him. www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8347893/the-new-quarterbacks-league
