"Grantland distinguished itself with quality writing, smart ideas, original thinking and fun."

Fuck Grantland, they ran a shitty Spielberg piece with factual errors and never even responded when I contacted them with corrections.

And then, when you click on a video you actually want to watch, you have to see a 30-second ad for a 10-second video.

I think it's my fault. When I cancelled insider I told them it was because their content was lacking now and Grantland had better stuff for free.

Adblock is your friend.
And yes, autoplaying video on any site deserves to die a horrible death--both on page load and after the video you want to see is finished.

I liked some of Grantland's articles but there was plenty I wasn't interested in. Once Simmons left I felt it would just be a matter of time.

Lol. Skip Bayless is saying this morning (and claiming he's been saying this all along) that Aaron Rodgers isn't good and is in fact a "bad" player.

That would be a completely reasonable and justified action to take.

you have to ask yourself, is he really a buddy if he sends you clips of first take?
