How can he be burned out on writing when he's had a year hiatus? Last year before he was fired he was gonna do a mailbag every week during the NBA Playoffs but only got a few in.
I just checked it out and although I could care less about 2/3 of the content (NBA NBA NBA!!!) the mobile site is pretty tight. Very clean and easy to scroll through.
A big part of my Grantland love was him hitting big with Lowe, Barnwell, Morris and Fennessey. None of the current writers have really hooked me yet.
I didn't watch tonight but got a lot of texts saying the show was an embarrassing disaster. I remember watching the first Last Week Tonight and telling friends they should check it out on HBO Go so it's not like you can't be good out of the gate. I hope he finds a groove, I like BS and think he can he grow into the show like Dan Patrick did with his post-ESPN radio gig.
