Sucks, they're probably going to put all of the good stuff (Zach Lowe) behind their stupid paywall

Not a shock especially with the cuts ESPN has been making. Should have pulled the plug when they canned Simmons.

It unofficially died when Simmons left. I'm not sure why it took them this long to pull the plug on a project they lost money on after the principal driver of their traffic left.

what a crying shame
simmons built something smart and well written, devoid of clickbait and hot takes, and they killed it
i didnt ever really read the culture stuff, but the baseball/basketball/college football writing on that site is/was the best ive read
they had zach lowe, jonah keri, kirk goldsberry, andrew sharp, holly anderson, matt hinton, etc, etc, etc
