Eggers?!? Holy shit

Hey, as long as Jack-O still tells me how the Yankees are looking, I’m fine.

I don’t know if you mean that sarcastically, but I love JackO, and I hate the Yankees. He’s the best guest he has on the podcast other than Carolla.

The site is named after writer Grantland Rice because what the heck else would you possibly call it?

i like the use of Grantland Rice, might be a stretch for Simmons, but maybe it will make him aspire to be a bit better.

sucks that it’s still ESPN.com, not sure why that bothers me, but it does.

Jacko’s OK, but Kerr is the best podcast guest (outside of Carolla).

And why is a comedian referencing a great writer in a serious manner?

This seems like a .. what’s the word… pretentious group

I like his friends more than most other guests.

i want to see a site populated by nothing but ombudsmen

Grantland? That is pretentious in itself.

And Malcom Gladwell is an insufferable price.

i want to see a site populated by nothing but ombudsmen

isn’t that what most of us are for this site? snarky ombudsmen?

Still any word on whats going to be happening at this site? All this secrecy is super cool and all.

I had the same reaction as Weeze – Eggers? WTF? The guest spots from Michael Chabon will really pull in the sports fans

Really lookng forward to it. I know in Hipster blogosphere that tears down annything deemed popular Simmons isn’t a popular writer. But I’m a big fan of him. I hope he can make it a enjoyable place to visit.

And Malcom Gladwell is an insufferable price.

I like Gladwell (and his work), but I really don’t like Klosterman. I don’t get Klosterman’s appeal. At all.

snarky ombudsmen?

snorkbudsmen?

I stopped reading Simmons a long time ago. All the same, I’ll watch tonight’s draft and feel wistful about the early 00s draft diaries.

I don’t think it’s a Hipster blogosphere thing, more a people are insanely jealous of him thing.

Were you going for ‘insufferable prick?’

Agree 100%.

I thought this article would be about horse racing

cj, in the benitez post i asked you about the buzz on boston racial slurs at the bruins game last night. hear/read anything?

And my shot at that gasbag Klosterman aside, I’m looking forward to wasting time at work reading this site as well. I admire what Simmons has done.

snorkbudsmen?

i like it.

I had the same reaction as Weeze – Eggers? WTF?

I hope his little brother Toph contributes. He’s awesome.

I wonder how quickly Ty Duffy’s application was rejected? And how many times?

the last bit of quality writing he did was his tribute to his dog. after that i practically gave up, wrote him an angry letter when he said the Vick story was amazing (how he could write that after the article on his dog, I’ll never know) and then i stopped reading him.

And Malcom Gladwell is an insufferable price.

Would you say the cost of Malcolm Gladwell has reached it’s tipping point for you?

Did I miss something? Is TBL promising us more dynamite?
