NP: Brian and AOL

Upfront: this has NOTHING to do with Paulus, I apologize in advance.

Does anyone know if Brian writes for AOL anymore? Did he just screw up his password again? Just wondering, i liked reading his little AOL stories and there hasn't been one published since early March.

What does this have to do with Paulus?

Why did you post it? At least use a "NP:" prefix. (Not Paulus)

Schadenfreude

I particularly enjoyed the This Week in Schadenfreude columns. Brian, I hope you continue those this season in some capacity, whether it's at AOL or here.

Otherwise, I may cry The Tears of Unfathomable Sadness.

Agreed! TWiS is a great

Agreed! TWiS is a great, great column. I'll truly miss it if it's gone.

AOL is getting more and more lame. Mariotti's columns are universally high-horse riding judgmental cry-fests about this or that in sports. If they took names off the columns, you'd know the Mariotti every time.

Plus his "columns" are about

Plus his "columns" are about 5 times longer than any other posts on the site. He just needs to go away.

You would also know which column was Blackistone's because it's the one making every sports story into a rant on race.

I was waiting to say

I was waiting to say something until I had something worked out elsewhere, but: AOL and I have parted ways. Once Alana left after the whole Fantasy Sports Girls thing they brought in corporate droids and started editing about every other post I made, which significantly dampened my enthusiasm. I basically stopped posting except every once in a long while, as you've probably noticed, and they made it formal a few weeks ago.

You'll also note the direction they went: out go Oops Pow Surprise and myself and various others; efficient people stay. I think their vision is a world of thousands of MDSes, which I don't really fit in.

I'm talking with Doctor Saturday about moving TWIS over there and maybe doing some recruiting talk, too. We'll see if that works out.

Yeah

I was kinda bummed to see you had to edit the "God Not a Big Fan of Sam Maresh" post. The original title made me LOL.

I didn't even do that. They did it without telling me, and that would be their SOP: just change the post without even so much as a "by your leave." Pretty lame.

Just one request, Brian.

Can "This week in schadenfreude" become part of MGoBlog if you are not going to be posting on AOL? That was easily one of my favorite things you post.
