Thread for Gossip, Rumor Mongering and Baseless Speculation about SJ.com

With the precedent set by Huffington Post bloggers, I demand a cut.

 

Clearly with someone investing as much as they did in the site they'll be trying to monetize it. I'm pretty sure this iteration of SportsJournalists.com is finished. Something like the above or maybe a site like one that, oh, matches up doctors with people in need of varicose vein surgery. There's no shortage of parents who need sportswriters to write something about their kid to guarantee them a scholarship, or maybe some blogs looking for a 500-word column for a couple of sawbucks.

 

Does it count as irony that TSP's post about monetizing SportsJournalists.com is filled with underlined ads?
