Not to change the subject but did anyone notice, ESPN’s website, which had been hosted at espn.go.com since forever, is finally now at espn.com?

Never knew what that meant.  I would type ESPN and it would go to the right place....know it said ESPNgo, but meant nothing to me.  I didn't notice that it now says just ESPN.

Go.com was acquired by Disney about 20 years ago. They used it as a portal to all their sites; Disney.com, ABC.com, ESPN, etc. For some reason ESPN kept it even after their other sites abandoned it. I happened to notice this morning that it changed. Hadn't heard about it in the media so I thought I'd ask here.

Damn, that's an exciting development, thanks so much for the back story.

I'm sure it sent shock waves through the IT community that we can't possibly imagine

Indeed.  And per Tony the media apparently ignored it.  Just unbelievable.

Great, I'll place that in my "who gives a fuck" file

Think you need to order a bigger cabinet for those files.

Looks like the "get rid of the Go.com" position has been filled, so no.

That definitely would have been my first order of business. My 2nd one is to tell you all to GFY!

This is what it's really like to be on HGTV's 'Fixed Upper'

Chip and Joanna renovated photographer Rachel Whyte's home—and she's giving us all the behind-the-scenes details.

Edit:   **** Note: I have not read this myself because I don't give a rat's azz about Goofy Chip and Joanna.

I thought it was going to be a negative piece. I'm happy it wasn't.

I forwarded it to my wife and the first thing she asked is if it was a negative piece.

I would never call Joanna a negative piece.

It got Fish to post more than once today. So there's that.
