OT CNN will start using Bleacher Report instead of SI for sports, WTF?

[mu03eng]

Just happened to try and go to SI through CNN and got bounced to Bleacher Report and then a info popped up saying in February all sports info will go through Bleacher Report.

First of all Bleacher Report is like having my 4 year nephew report on news he heard in 4K from his teacher who is a Notre Dame fan.  Second, SI might be a slightly flagging brand but it's still gotta have way more value than Bleacher.  If this is the case, guess CNN won't get any of my web traffic anymore.

Everyone still bitter about the CNN/SI Network?

I noticed recently that a local TV station sport's link was tied into the Bleacher Report.

Could this indicate that Bleacher Report is stepping up their game and actually hiring real journalists?

If not, I'd recommend that CNN partner with MUScoop to get all their information, aside from politics, of course.

My SI link works just fine for me.

Wasn't bleacher report acquired by Turner several months ago?  Guess they are trying to integrate their shiny new asset.

No prob - CNN isn't worth the time of day since Bernie Shaw left.

Cripes..Scoop has a community of members in their mother's basements too...only better informed...Rocky, you are leaving money on the table!

well, in fairness the journalistic integrity of CNN is pretty much on par with bleacher report so...

I thought something was amiss when the top story on CNN.com was a slideshow of "Ranking the Hottest Supreme Court Justices"

Yep direct link works for now, but I'm betting that changes in February and navigating via CNN.com lands you at bleacher report.  Guess I don't have to work about going to CNN anymore.

Hopefully Turner acquiring Bleacher Report means they'll start actually posting stories you can read without having to click the "Next" button to navigate through a slideshow. That's so irritating I don't even bother anymore.

Or you could just use the arrow keys.

My point was why not put it all on one page like any other sports site?

Because for a 20 item slideshow they get 20 page views instead of one.
