Every team now has their own page. Every teams reporters are also doing a live chat right now. A great excerpt from Terry talking about Lynch...

Marshall gained almost 1,600 yards last year.

Yep, thats our new guy. Talking about Marshell Lynch.

... I miss Sando...

This guy's grammar is freaking killing me. God, it's horrible.

"Stephen Williams is the guy they hopes can be a legitimate deep threat"
"He can play all there spots, he's tough and run runs great routes."
"Missing so much time in the preseason hurt Irvin because he trying to learn the switch to linebacker."
"But on pure play plays, they are pretty average,"

Also, he needs to use COMMAS more. "It's definitely a concern Patrick.", "I'm not sure Stephen.", "Wilson really doesn't want to do that Connor.", "He's ready now Ryan.", etc.

THIS GUY IS ILLITERATE. GAH. ESPN, WAT R U DOIN?!

I literally cannot continue reading this. It's terrible.

Sando was a journalist who approached everything with an eye for details.

Blount is a blogger with a social media brain. Grammar is irrelevant. All that matters is expression devoid of comprehension.

Welcome to the social media age. Print is dead, long live the tweet!

If he can't get the player's names right on the one team he is covering, he won't last long. The fans won't take him seriously.

Wait...just saw Sando is running the 49ers chat. Do the 49ers get Sando as their permanent personal blogger? What the heck!

I think the grammar shtick is getting pretty old, iRo. I may crack jokes once in a while, but holy Christ, the number of grammar corrections you post, have flat-out been driven into the ground over and over and over and over and over and over and over is significantly higher.

Welcome to the 5th grade, students. Don't ask why Pehawk is stuck here year after year.

The more I read, the more angry I get by this. He seems like an old dude. I'm not sure why he doesn't use punctuation. I'm not perfect or great at punctuation, but I'm not that bad.

You've got to cut him a little slack for trying to handle as many questions as he can in as short a period as possible.

But that said, good grief. Maybe he's using an Iphone and it just takes too long to type properly?

I'm with Roland. Commas are the difference between:

"A panda eats shoots and leaves." and "A panda eats, shoots, and leaves."

It is also the difference between:

"I partied with two hookers, Bill Clinton, and Hugh Hefner." and "I partied with two hookers, Bill Clinton and Hugh Hefner."

Oxford comma 4 LIFE, fools!

Roland, could you also go and give this guy a lesson on there, their, and they're? I don't think he has used any of them correctly yet. It's driving me crazy.

Sorry, my doctor said I'd have an 80% chance of stroking out and dying if I return to that live chat.
