Some interesting stuff from last month:
"Former Grantland Editor-In-Chief Bill Simmons also made an oblique reference to the situation on his own podcast last week:
There might have been a couple of Grantland people that said nice things about [the departing Grantlanders] on a podcast, and it might have been edited out by people who work over there, so I wanted to pass along those sentiments from some of the people at Grantland, too."

"Discussions on background with Grantland staffers past and present (ESPN executives associated with Grantland declined to talk on the record or on background for this column) reveal that the site is beset by a climate of fear, a cycle of mistrust, and a belief amongst several that staff are “treated like children.” An overall lack of communication with management has been beyond frustrating for the staff. Many heard about Connelly’s appointment on their Twitter feeds—precisely where Simmons had learned of his dismissal."
THE GRANTLAND NFL PODCAST RETURNS FROM (SELF-IMPOSED OR INFLICTED) EXILE, TRIBUTE FINALLY PAID

After a two-week hiatus, the Grantland NFL podcast with Bill Barnwell and Robert Mays returned on Monday, recapping Week 7 of the season. The podcast hadn’t posted a new episode since Oct. 13, missing its regular slot five times. However, Barnwell didn’t leave fans completely hanging, letting them know on Twitter when there wouldn’t be a show.
