Bleacher Report Raises 10.5M, Becomes 5th Largest Sports Website

Good quality libel. I'm sure there's a great reason why the columnist isn't working for a newspaper.

 

Here's another gem from star contributor Buckus Toothnail. I was doing a search on the NBA and this popped us as one of the top results on Google.

The headline us worth $10 mil in VC funding alone.

 

Let it be on record for me saying it here and now, just like how over the summer, I predicted the trials and tribulations our team the Lakers would be facing this season to the scoffs and denials of most of the front-running bandwagon "Laker Nation" fans on here—"fans" that never supported this team when it was down, never saw Sedale Threatt or Cedric Ceballos play at the Forum, never had nothing to do with the team until we were winning rings again.

Wow. Just fucking wow.

 

When a 15-25 team beats a 31-12 team during the middle of the regular season, that definitely signals a changing of the guard.

BTW, Bleacher Report should be past the VC stage. The fact they're not a few years into the business is not a good sign.

 

That was an 84 word lede. With an 84-word lead, you would not pass JRN 201 (the first journalism class offered at my alma mater).

 

It's one thing for us to have figured the emperor has no clothes. But for the fans ... this is from a Dodgers fan site:

So what you are trying to say is Bleacher Report writers are entitled to their own opinions? I agree they should have their own opinion.

Fortunately, that means myself, Stitch and others are also entitled to our opinions - those opinions being Bleacher Reports sucks.

Good day.

 

And to think such brillance used to be limited to sportstalk shows.

 

That is some horrible stuff on Bleacher Report. I'm not even mad. I'm amazed.

 

I would like to read more about how that douchebag arrived at the conclusion that a column speculating on a Sam Bradford-Peyton Manning trade would be a good idea, or how such a deal could ever come off. Holy shit is that ridiculous.
