I like a few of the Grantland writers, but the medium of not actually writing on current events but instead writing opinion thereof, might create a disconnect between the site and the intended readers. IÂ think some of the writers on their own can pull off the concept, and I'm sure Barnwell will back his **** up statistically, but I don't know how many people will be checking back for a glorified livejournal.
I like Klosterman stuff fairly often, but most of the writers on it aren't that interesting to me... Â combined with the fact that they are going to be trying to get all edgy and outside the norm instead of focusing on the hot topics (which I think is what you are saying here) means I will probably rarely, if ever go to the site.
