Bleacher Report is no more/no less "reputable" than Sohh or The Coli... but some love to believe the contrary

for every "garbage" opinion or writer/poster, there's a few who have "reputable" backgrounds and opinions. Not sure why an entire site is considered garbage as a result. If that were the case, the sites we frequent should also be considered garbage

if sohh can get their servers shut down due to high traffic, how can 4 kids out of high school maintain a site with comparable traffic w/o it crashing? they MUST be doing something right. and they got PAID so let's applaud them for doing what most heads on here wished they could accomplish

Sohh doesn't profess to be writers.

You just married posters and writers together as they're one and the same.

They're NOT.

The people on that site attempt to write articles. And for the most part, many of them suck.

Your premise that the sites we frequent is on par with them is a moot point.

The idea of the site is better than what's actually in it. If you want to spend your time filtering through 40 bad articles just to find one gem, by all means, that is the site for you.

I get my paper for writing my articles in the newspaper :win:

Those correspondents, for the majority, don't get jack and just use it to look good on a resume (trust me, 10k+ eyes on your articles looks hella good), that's why its so profitable. I have several colleagues who have worked on internship over there just to build up there resume, never getting paid a dime.
USA Today does a similar thing as an outlet for studying reporters: http://www.usatodayeducate.com/staging/index.php/collegiate-correspondent-program, again haven't heard from anyone who got denied.

Nobody's making a career, or even a living, as a writer for BR -- unlike SBNation, who basically let Bomani Jones become bigger than the site.

Correct, Sohh the website does not profess to be writers... the contributors to certain forums do.

You just married posters and writers together as they're one and the same.

They're NOT.

Put your name to what you post, than I will differentiate a Writer from a Poster. Otherwise, everybody is just a poster

The people on that site attempt to write articles. And for the most part, many of them suck.

It is no different from posters on sites doing their own sports podcasts whether good or bad

Your premise that the sites we frequent is on par with them is a moot point.

Filtering through 40 bad articles to find one gem is no different than combing through 40 bad threads to find one good one like on Sohh/The Coli.

I know, you're smarter when it comes to sports than everybody on the web. you've made that abundantly clear throughout the years with your updates on getting your Masters in Sports Journalism, countless interviews with Athletes and Icons, etc.

You have your faithful following that love to c/s you and dap you blindly. I truly hope you have equal or greater success than the kids who started bleacher report so you dont have to resort to reading the "dumbest shyt I've read" and be among the Journalistic Elite.

I hope theres some money in it for you, throwing their money in my face.



I've clearly stated:

The idea (premise) of the site is better than what's actually in it.
