It makes for a nice story, especially for a drama queen like Simmons, but it seems pretty unlikely given the corporate structure of ESPN and as mentioned above money problems that they have.

media people have said with Simmons it was basically breaking even
without him I imagine it was hemorrhaging money
I liked the site but it was Simmons, Barnwell, Zach Lowe 99% of the time
Barnwell and Zach Lowe are going to be fine and write somewhere, so I dont see it as a real loss
