re: What is "The Undefeated" on ESPN.com and does anybody give a shite about it?

I think ESPN got boxed into a corner of having this site come to fruition and that's part of why they killed off Grantland, so they could roll some of those financial losses into this one.
Grantland was obviously a much more worthy project, but in today's overly PC climate they probably get more bang for their buck from The Undefeated.
Happily, Simmons was able to essentially re-create Grantland but the problem is I can't take his politics right now. Who knew Bill Simmons was such a rabid leftie BTW? Hopefully I can shrug this off after November and enjoy his site - I can't take him or his echo chamber of snarky young liberals right now. I just... I just can't, mates.

You could have just assumed he was a rabid lefty without any evidence, and you'd have a 90% chance of being correct. He's a media figure from the Northeast. This is the case for the media in general. Right wingers are not suffered in that world. And if any are exposed as conservative types, they're run our on a rail unless they keep their mouths shut. Especially at a place like ESPN.
