This is hugely disappointing. Grantland's baseball writing was also amazing.

Yeah, I'd bet Jonah Keri is better than half the GM's in the majors today.

Proving yet again there is nothing so good that ESPN cant fuck it up

Maybe the Sports Guy will round some of these guys up and launch an HBO internet platform? I'm sure HBO would love to get more of a web presence.

ESPN is a bigger joke than Rogers.

Jonah Keri for Jays GM.

Basically the only thing I cared about at ESPN. Seems like a last F U to Simmons.

Simmons has been ripping Mike and Mike pretty good here lately. I'm sure he will start laying into ESPN hard now that Grantland is gone.

Too robust?

as well he should. Cannot stand those toolbags.

Grantland and 30 for 30 are the best things, and perhaps the only thing resembling "journalism," to come out of ESPN in the last decade. It's a shame they got rid of Bill Simmons who started both of them.

What a waste.

I'd bet that Jonah Keri would be the first one to tell you that's not true and that he couldn't do their job.

If I was Fox Sports I would be on the phone getting them into their fold. I keep hoping foxsports1 will turn into ESPN of the 90s when it was good and they keep trying to make it a version of today's ESPN. I hate most ESPN shows now.

Of any sports site online, I considered Grantland a big A PLUS, gutsy writers who told it as they saw it. Nice going ESPN. I particularly enjoyed the fondness some of them seemed to have Gary Buttman.

As much as this upsets me, I will still continue to watch ESPN. It's a damn good station.

If you enjoy fabricated, sensationalistic "journalism", sure, they're the best in the biz at that.

What are my other options? At least I can get the scores and highlights. I can make up my own mind regarding the other stuff.
