Worst Top 10 Prospect Rankings Ever.

Includes non-prospects and guys I wouldn't put in my top 30. Fascinating.

I think Carpenter’s the only guy who hands-down doesn’t belong anywhere near the Top 10, but yeah, it’s still pretty awful. I guess he’s never even heard of Cosart, Colvin, and May.

Technically Mathieson is too old for official prospect status. Carpenter was my “not even in the top 30” guy. No Colvin, Cosart, May is pretty egregious. Honestly, prospect rankings are pretty subjective, so I feel a little goofy calling it worst, but it’s kind of the perfect storm of odd choices, that suggests pulling names from a hat.

I think it’s safe to say that I don’t need to do a Top 30 at this point — Bleacher Report has it pretty well covered.

I’m revoking your Associate Blog Lord status in the meantime.

Well, he’s listed as a full Blog Lord, so first you’d need to demote him, then revoke his status. And that just seems cruel.

A few weeks ago Bleacher REport received 10.5 million dollars from investors

Their NBA trade ideas are insane too

But they’ve figured out how to artificially inflate their traffic numbers, haven’t they?

They’re a terrific SEO juggernaut, quality be damned.

Yup – all those nasty annoying slide shows, increasing page views and visit time…I do a ‘weekly roundup’ of sixers net news that people might have missed for a blog – i ignore ANYTHING that sources at bleacher report. It’s freaking atrocious

I don’t say this often, but about slide shows, I HATE HATE HATE them. Just show me the list, already!

Of course you hate them – but do you go THROUGH them?

The slide shows are a gimmick that BR uses to increase various metrics that make them look like a popular site, they can increase add rates and raise 10.5 mil in revenue for crappy sports ‘reporting’, they don’t care if it irritates you, they just care if you go through the slide show, and you did didn’t you?
