Vice and Disney? Terrible combo - so it seems to me. Plus, Vice really wasn't doing anything special aside from being just plain edgy. Big deal.

I've been wondering when Barstool sells out and to whom.

You are right about that. But Vice and ESPN; that's a match made in heaven, or perhaps in this case hell.

They are part of Vox. Have a high valuation because they generate loads of content and pay almost nothing. UConn Blog is part of it.

SBNation - was started as sportsblogs by a couple of A’s fans.

With no place better to put this - their podcast this week was awesome. Related bible books and people to college football teams. UConn and Pasqualoni even got play.

It's almost like assembling a virtual business centered around hipsters gazing at their navels in print is not a good business model.

And yet so many keep trying.
