There's really no best thread to rant about this but I really hate the ESPN web site redesign. I hate all the extra empty space which just leads to way less information on the screen. An utter capitulation to mobile user UI trends (even though they have their own mobile site).

Yep. Bookmarked Grantland.com and will go to ESPN if I need to versus the other way around.

I'm glad someone else decided to bitch about that. Went on last night to check the NHL scores and I'm like "What the fuck is this?" The worst part is you know they probably paid a retarded amount of money on that redesign.

Surprised to see Alex Smith there. Watching the games, he seemed a little overwhelmed when pressure came in and was prone to holding the ball. Then again, I guess it's easier when he isn't asked to make big throws.
Yeah, when you never throw the ball more than 15 yards it helps your accuracy stats.

Ravens trade Gino Gradkowski to Denver. GINO MAN. Way more important than Romo.

Seriously though, he's terrible, and yet Ozzie clears 1 Mil in cap and Swaps this turd and a 5 for a 4 in 2016. Best trade ever.

That's Kubiak for you. Wanting to bring in players that he knows and pays too much for them.

I honestly think Baltimore "wins" Free Agency more than most teams. They just seem to have a better handle on what they need to do to help keep the team competitive. Hell, even the worst years under Billick, you couldn't discount the Ravens when they were on the schedule.

Man, while he isn't a starter or ever should be, Shuab has a pretty sweet deal. Fucking $2 million to basically do nothing.

In the Ravens case, it's more due to Ozzie I think.

He's just significantly better than everyone else at this whole thing.
I think John Harbaugh is a little underrated in that he has a much calmer, quieter personality than Jim did. His attitude I think helps keep that locker room settled when many times with the personalities they have (or had even) on that team it could get a little out of control.

I wonder if the Broncos actually plan to start him at center, or if its a depth move. Or maybe they think he's a guard. RIP Peyton if the guy's going to start, would be wonderfully hilarious though.

ROFL! Gotta love teams' official site spin. Google search leading to the Denver site:

Gradkowski, a fourth-round selection by the Ravens in the 2012 NFL Draft, is entering his fourth NFL season. He started at center for all 16 games in his second NFL season. During the 2013 season when he started every game, Gradkowski helped the line support quarterback Joe Flacco reach career marks in passing attempts, completions and passing yards.
And the worst run game of his career and most sacks of his career and the worst overall line in the league! Of course he passed alot, we couldn't run the ball for shit. Good luck with that Elway.

You should be going to Grantland first anyway - they're great (and not just because they agree with me that the Vikings are the most interesting team over the next half decade, if you were starting from scratch).
