Around SBN: The MMA (After) Hour

Many interesting bits. A lot of stuff about the stadium. The thing that stuck out most was Paulson mentioned something along the lines of "Our GM is very close to signing a guy who has a higher ceiling than anyone on our roster."

Update: Give this a listen it has a ton of interesting information.

MP attempted to buy the Quakes in 2004 before they moved to Houston.

That’s a fascinating tid bit.

Given how high guys like alhassan's ceilings are

I can’t wait to see who it is.

Say what you want about America, thirteen bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice!

MP

I loved his reply to the guy that was upset about soccer being shoved down their throats.

His answer is in part 3 but he says, “This is a free country so if you don’t like it don’t pay attention or complain.”

Given the Duck fervor over the last couple years

I can feel Bob in Gresham’s pain a little. (No I’m not a bitter Beaver, or a Beaver at all).

But to call and whine at the owner is beyond stupid. Most radios come equipped with a dial or tuning device of some kind.

I find myself listening to more audiobooks in the car these days.

All I get is linked to a giant full-page ad for CenturyLink when I click on the audio

750’s website is garbage. I’m surprised it’s not hosted on GeoCities. But I suppose the time it takes to prepare 28 hours of Ducks coverage for their 12 hours of local coverage every day doesn’t leave much for developing a website that works.

In fact I’m surprised they didn’t just ask Merritt a bunch of questions about Chip Kelly.

+1000

I actually feel like I get more local coverage listening to Dan Patrick then 750. Except when it comes to the 10-12 Sports Business who has Mike Golub and MP on quite often and then Strong at night.

I finally figured out why that site goes wonky. ADBLOCK!

Needs to be paused when visiting it.

Looks like it may be a problem with my browser

I still stand by my comments, though.

It's not the browser, it's never the browser

IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, et al., it’s the website developers/webmaster/owners job to make sure it’s compatible with browsers and easy for users… or at the very least functional and presented decently. How hard is it to put up a functional sound file these days? Here’s a hint: Soundcloud. Very simple. Works on everything. It’s also very easy to post sound files on the Soundcloud app for people with Apple devices.

I know it isn't his computers fault

Just 750’s crappy web site developer and his lack of ability to create a website that is compatible with all browsers.

On top of being a teacher I am the IT department for my school. However when it comes to tech stuff I tend to dumb it down in general.

I replied to Awesome

But yep, you’re right. It’s getting better and easier all the time with this stuff. No excuses for a site like 750. It’s not difficult for developers to do this, just look around and explore the stuff available.
