SBNation's popularity and widespread use still stuns me.
It seems like no one I know that follows sports uses it, yet national and local media outlets both recognize it and treat it with a semblance of important.
Good job, sir.
Honestly, I think it's because it has some of the best writers (both amatuer and former professionals) in the entire sports
blog universe. Not to mention some very vibrant communities.

A few years ago a friend of mine was working on the development of a similar sports blogging community called FanNation, which SI later bought. I showed him Red Reporter and he said, “Yeah, that’s pretty much exactly what we’re trying to do, but you guys seem to already have the committed community that makes it work.”

But Gray wasn't really taking an anti-bitching position.
He was just arguing that obc’s bitching is inconsistent with obc’s anti-bitching position – and in that way, was sort of taking a pro-bitching position – so it’s really not that odd at all.
