    Build to a big evaluation and sell to somebody I assume is the goal.

    If using some third party ad service like Google ads or whatnot.

    But they could easily strike up a deal with actual sponsors/partners that make sense for an online sports media company. Also would have the added advantage of not being blocked by ad blockers since it's being hard coded in there instead of relying on user data and ad fetching based off of those. It's just another link on the site as far as the browser and adblocking extensions are concerned.

    We aren't small but we are extremely petty. The pettiest fan base in the country. Ubben must be employed.

    Titans beat writer was let go. Kind of odd since I feel like they are going to have to fill that, but they have a general Nashville writer, so maybe they shift him.

    If anybody has T-Mobile, they're giving away a free year subscription to this, as well as the free subscription to MLBtv they always do, in the “T-Mobile Tuesdays” app.

    mayo really is less than the sum of its parts.

    The only thing mayo is good for is to replace butter when making a grilled cheese.

    That sounds gross and I like mayo.

    Nah, put mayo on the outside of the bread instead of butter and cook it like normal it makes the bread nice and golden and crisp and doesn't change the flavor at all.

    Try it.

    Alright, I'll take your word on it. Next time it gets cold and we make some tomato soup, I'll give it a go.

    Mayo can be used as a base to build on. It’s crap as a stand-alone condiment
