One day, I want to create a completely useless company and then have some people that probably still use typewriters, have a blackberry, or read newspapers like people did 50 years ago give me 200 MILLION dollars for one of the worst "sports news sites" on the whole internet.

This is quite honestly one of the dumbest moves in internet history(for the buyer) and one of the greatest strikes of luck for a company ever.

Young attractive women aren't the only ones screwing rich old men.

Is it still going to have that annoying pop up asking me to put in information everytime I try to read some fluff story on their site. I hate clicking on a link for something off google and not seeing the site and then realizing too late its for the Bleacher Report....Like oh damn this is worthless....

How is value even placed on something like this?

9 million hits counts for something but big deal.

On youtube there are cover songs sung by unknowns with 2
or 3 million views,but they are still unknown.

It's a twisted world.

Obviously the Bleacher Report is garbage. Thing is, they started hiring talent from other websites a few months ago. Rather than the talent improving the website, BR just turned those writers into content-churning hacks.

It is one of only two websites I have expressly excluded in my google search results.
