Self-Survey: The SB Nation Reader Poll

Hey BoCers,

SB Nation is running a reader survey to get your feedback on user experience, because unlike us, they're constantly working to improve their end-product.  :)  It's a confidential survey and doesn't take too long to fill out, and they've even added a bonus incentive: whichever 3 SB Nation sites have the highest percentage of members complete surveys will have a $500 donation to the charity of their choice, in their name.  That sounds both cool and tax-deductible -- win win!

Sbn_reader_poll_medium

BoC won't finish top-3 or anything as there's zero questions about burrito ingredients (if we do, I imagine we'll find a charity with the word 'Lokomotiv' in its mission statement), but it'd probably be a good thing if a few of the survey responses mentioned the name 'Battle of California' somewhere in there.  You know, for the next time we get ourselves in trouble.  :)

And it's also a chance to give the folks upstairs some sense about what works or what doesn't about the SB Nation megaplan.  To take the survey, click here:

it’d probably be a good thing if a few of the survey responses mentioned the name ‘Battle of California’ somewhere in there. You know, for the next time we get ourselves in trouble. :)

This right here is the entire reason that anytime SBN wants info from me for anything, I do it from a BoC link or affiliation or something.

Between your SB Nation site, ESPN, Bleacher Report, and Sporting News, can you tell us which is your favorite and why?
I don’t read ESPN because the coverage of hockey is non-existent, and the coverage of football is atrocious. Bleacher Report is fucking garbage being cut/pasted from bloggers with talent. The rare original work on Bleacher Report is of the sort of quality usually reserved for /b/ or World of Warcraft’s Trade Chat. Sporting News isn’t any better than ESPN, though they don’t plagiarize like Bleacher Report. Why the hell would I want to read inferior media?

Why do you spend time on your favorite SB Nation site? How would you describe it to a friend or colleague?
I spend time on BoC because it’s extremely funny. Highly irreverent, yet between the sophomoric humor, there’s some really good points. Or maybe between the points, there’s some really good sophomoric humor. They do things differently over there.

I love this line, which I first picked up from Mick Foley, when I read Have a Nice Day (with the extra chapter). He mentioned a book review that said something along the lines of “underneath the sophomoric humor, there were some really great stories in there”, and Foley said he wished the review had read “underneath the stories, there was some really great sophomoric humor in there”.

I guess this means I’m not much better than BR, stealing lines from big time wrasslers.

Would you describe ESPN.com differently? If so, how?
ESPN.com gives pretty perfunctory coverage to the NHL, doesn’t give team-specific coverage (unless you enjoy having Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin’s cocks shoved down your throat), and doesn’t do anything interesting, it’s all just more of the same. They have the same problem with their NFL coverage. Brett Favre was not a good QB, and no matter how many times you tell me “he’s playing like a kid out there” and try to shove his cock down my throat (literally, after the penis pics incident with Jenn Sterger), it makes me not want to consume your media.

There’s a great joke to be made there about consuming media and having cocks shoved down your throat, by the way.

I think that’s a fantastic answer, and I hope the use of a word like “perfunctory” cancels out the fact that I talked about cocks for most of the response. I wonder if the people that read this shit just instantly dismiss a lot of this kind of thing. Does the fact that I used an uncommon word and brought the whole penis metaphor full circle cancel out the fact that I made a penis metaphor?

They are going to do what they are going to do regardless.

For a network that I feel is largely a front runner in the world of digital media, these marketing/promo/sponsorship questions at the end are rather Stone Age. I’m not going to buy something because today’s post is “brought to you by Sprint”. The only promotional thing I’ve seen on SBN that has influenced me at all is when MLX sent free skates to a bunch of bloggers, and all the glowing reviews filled my RSS feeder. My next pair of ice skates will likely be MLX, based on the fact that the people I read are people who I generally trust. So I hope you all appreciate that I’m trying to get Samsung to give you free TV’s, instead of censoring you.

What the hell kind of company wants to advertise on BoC anyways?

If they started advertising it like that I would probably switch banks.

At first I felt kind of weird putting “Battle of California” down for the site that referred me to the survey.

Then they started talking about sponsors and figured I felt properly ironic. Like a damned hipster.

Damn you, BoC. Damn you.

OK, I wrote all about how much I love BOC. I also answered that I spend most of my money on Alcoholic Beverages so I’m pretty sure they’re not gonna take me seriously.

Hey Foxy, would you call that a doh-si-doh or a dipsy doodle?
