Probably best just to wait until the "GBG" post goes up.
No need to derail 4 unrelated comment sections for something that will be discussed later.

Derrrrrrrrr
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Derrrrrrrrrrr. Thanks. I’m happy with my non-smart phone that takes me a half hour to write a text message. Video submission? You mean like a porno?

Touch screens also take forever to write text messages
But with loads of errors because my fingers aren’t that goddamn small, Apple.

You guys sound very opposed to making money at blogging
God bless you for it, but it’s interesting.

That would be an interesting conversation to have, but this is probably not the appropriate venue for it.

Hell, just how much it would take for your average Iowan to shill for Mediacom would be interesting
Considering how well those who have had mediacom enjoy it. (/eyeroll.)

congrats!! this is welcome news that BSD is again a "sponsorable" website. IIRC, the last sponsored post via SBNation was pulled from BSD by the advertiser.
This is another sign that the media narrative is shifting in a positive direction for PSU.

This is the most fascinating thread ever.
It’s like a one-man existential breakdown.

It's like that Christian Bale movie where he doesn't sleep.

Thanks to you Patrick Vint
I found out the pregnant wife knows all the words to this song. I had no clue. She started singing it then came up with the name of the song. DAMN YOU and your SKA!

Once again, Donald, your wife is much, much cooler than you.
