Thanks guys. I'll be perfectly honest, I probably won't be posting much here, so feel free to continue ripping the hell out of me. A friend of mine is on this site frequently and loves to tell me how much I'm hated from time to time. I actually get a kick out of it.

I can't talk a lot yet about what's coming, but obviously the news is leaking. And since I think Ben is a cool guy, I wanted to come here first. Wherever this ~mystery place~ is where I land, I'm going to have a lot of freedom and the wheel in my hands, which is kind of terrifying (ask Finnan ... I've never heard a grown man scream like he did before or since we nearly rear ended a Honda on I-75 somewhere in Michigan). We're going to do things a little differently. I hope y'all come along for the ride, wherever it takes us. More to come next week.

Haha. You're pretty well respected around here and for good reason. If you want to see some hate, just watch the response anytime someone posts something The Bullshit Whisperer wrote or tweeted(both to The Bullshit Whisperer and the person who posted his "info")

Excited to see what it looks like. Seems like you'll be the lead writer and perhaps overseer there in the way the Woj was at the Vertical or Marc Spears is at Undefeated.

And since I think Ben is a cool guy...

I'm going to put that on a t'shirt.

Final Thoughts - Ben is a cool guy

No shirt could get you laid faster

They raised $2.1M last year. Y'all really think funding is just going to stop?

You guys need to read up before talking.

These are loans by venture capitalists. They have to be paid back.

I'd buy the shit out of that shirt.

Welcome @Lloyd Don't ever go in the Kevin Love trade ideas thread or the Kyrie thread. You'll lose years on your life. Love your final thoughts.

 

[theSTEREO.]

Damn. If that's true, I'm screwed. And I never thought they were THAT hot... Lukewarm at best.

Incredible.

First of all, major congrats Jason. My wife and I read basically every thing you write, waiting up for Final Thoughts after each game, so we'll very likely be following you over to the, uh, "mystery place".

Also, let the record in this thread show that my brown nosing game comes with receipts. I was backing this thing before Jason showed up and you all changed your tune real quick.

Hey I deserve some credit too!

Overall, I think you're probably one of the more respected writers on here.

Nobody's approval rating is 100%, but I think you have a lot more people who enjoy your work more than not. Especially since you have a great thing going with final thoughts! Keep up the good work, and if you hear any confidential trade news, come tell us first

This is Lloyd so I definitely would pay for one two months trial first to see what would happen.

Agreed. Lloyd, McMenamin, and Parker are the only three I pay attention to because... well... they are the only three WORTH paying attention to.

The link to the Cle Athletic takes you to all Warriors articles... they are either being funny, or got played Day One... but jokes on the Warriors today is 3-1 ... and you just signed Matt Barnes to possibly replace KD...
