Most other people aren't even close. So, I just wanted to say props on that.<br /><br />Also, Koo had them at around 500,000 uv's and $2 million bucks. Any thoughts on that? Here's where he had it:<br /><br />http://benkoo.com/articles/biz-and-tech/fsv-acquires-the-big-lead-2010-the-year-of-the-blog-exits.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-64903910381861043972010-06-03T01:31:00.548-04:002010-06-03T01:31:00.548-04:00So, just to get this straight.

You are happy that once again someone who puts out an inferior product is going to be unfairly rewarded?<br /><br />This is the same guy who claimed that bloggers needed to "clean up their act", and then continued to post cock pictures. This is a guy you railed on after Buzz's blowup on Leitch. <br /><br />From what I've seen of that site, people don't go there for the dribble that Jason writes. They go there for the community, because Deadspin turned into a wasteland. That community routinely bashes Jason for his complete lack of knowledge of sports.<br /><br />Good for the guy for making a buck, but this isn't something that should be celebrated by other bloggers. All it does is promote the idea that you need to link to gossip, pay for pictures of athlete dick, and occasionally post something about sports. Do that enough times, and you'll get a payday. Personally, I think we should be pushing for people like Brian Cook at Mgoblog.com to get a deal like this. There is a guy who has set the standard for what a sports blog can be.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067584114071637056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-4350951711457431782010-06-02T13:37:10.751-04:002010-06-02T13:37:10.751-04:00"I am personally much more focused right now ..."I am personally much more focused right now on building something meaningful from scratch"<br /><br />Is that in reference to this blog/TimTeblog?

The value of the property has to be way, way beyond what its earnings are now. Obviously, not every site purchase has to be driven by only revenue but They must have plans to do something else out of the box in order to justify their purchase in the long term.NYsportsGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311179747184420942noreply@blogger.com
