Apparently realizing that if any average joe can start a football blog, they better have their act together, ESPN is re-vamping their football blog strategy–doing away with their Hashmarks blog, and introducing eight divisional blogs for the NFL, and six BCS conference blogs for college, each headed by a real honest to god reporter with some print journalism experience.
As noted on ProFootballTalk, it remains to be seen how the blog network will actually work, especially given that people reading blogs are often looking for a different approach/perspective than traditional newspapers (or overgrown supposed sports networks) tend to offer.
Then again, from ESPN’s perspective, maybe they consider utilizing real journalists for such an endeavor to be a different approach.
As long as ESPN keeps their I will remain as loyal a viewer as I have ever been.
As long as ESPN keeps their fashion coverage I will remain as loyal a viewer as I have ever been.
BTW, why is there no preview option on this stupid blog?
We just assume that our readers are smart enough to not need a preview option. It’s not like you need 8 years of computer science education to leave a comment :-)
And yes, Page 2 has become too stupid to waste time with.
The site has smiley icons but no preview. Sigh. What am I to expect from a guy who won’t go get beers anymore? If this shit keeps up I might have to –gasp– hang out with Andy.
