    this really seems like the only logical conclusion. BE is at sbnation, basically the gold standard of the commercially viable internet nerd herding demographic. It would seem as though they would have some pull in the matter, but maybe not. and their comment system kinda sucks, or maybe im not used to it. anyone?

    That said, i really cant speak on much of the content over there, but everytime i got suckered into clicking on a link, it was just this kinda self involved hoo haw partially about the blazers.

    and i get plenty of that here :cheers:

    I know i bash on BE every chance i get, so i'll do it again here. BE is just really... boring, i try to read some stuff from them once in a while and my eyes just glaze over and i stop half way, i'm sure without by Ben Golliver that won't help either. It also doesn't help that the psychos here are much more interesting than the mountain of homers there.

    I would never want to be part of a press row that has me as a member.

    fuck, you better hire some writers :lol:

    am i the only one who wants mediocre man to have his own "grumpy takes on the game" recurring kind of thread every game? page view gold, and if we dropped even a little humor in it, it could be really good. everyone can post their worst case scenarios and darkest fears.

    the blazers would satiate every nerdsites deepest hunger and accrue integral market viable brand loyalty by letting each site have passes for a game or a few games a year at practice, or in the locker room, or give them 15 minutes with a few players.

    its kinda weird that they dont

    I, for one, eagerly await Kingspeeds foray into basketball journalism.
