FiringSquad.com dying? Nope... it's dead.

Anyone have any info as to why FS.com sucks so bad after years of being my favorite site? Was it sold to the Chinese or something?

I'm kind of curious to hear this as well. It seems we were due for our yearly "FS is dying/dead" thread, despite more news and articles getting posted in the last few months than ever.

If you hadn't joined all those fetish sites you might have had a different outlook.

I just really want the Lakers to win it all this year. Can't wait for the parade I'm only about ten minutes away. The bet is just the icing on the cake.

Re: FiringSquad.com dying? Nope... it's dead.

It's pretty unbelievable and I'm pretty pissed off.  The fact that Jay Cutler somehow believes he is royalty and thinks his job in the NFL is indispensable is beyond me.  More than that, for him to turn his back on the team and the fans really gets me fired up.  The coach was just listening to offers and Jay acted like a little baby.  If he'd rather play in Chicago, then more power to him.  I hope the windy city bites him in the ass.  I just pray the new coach really knows what he is doing.  I guess we'll find out this season.  If they don't do well, Pat Bowlen is going to look like a real dummy.  But I have faith in the ownwership and Coaching staff.

Hopefully you guys land a great pick this draft. I wouldn't mind seeing Sanchez in a broncos uniform.

You know, I think Cutler is a complete baby as well, but Bowlen is also a jackass that was just trying to prove his manhood. Are the Broncos better off without Cutler? I seriously doubt it - they're now in a rebuilding phase. I think we'd be a lot better off without Bowlen personally.

Re: FiringSquad.com dying? Nope... it's dead.

The only real problem I have with cutler is that he hasn't really proven himself yet. He's a good quarterback with great potential, but chicago has no receivers the caliber that denver has.

With only one guy actually running the website it's to be expected.

FS employees have been consistently dropping like flies and now it has dwindled to just Brandon. Hopefully this doesn't mean Brandon left, too, but it's all too possible.

It seems to go in spurts. Especially "Siteseeing", one of the more neglected sections of the site, it used to get an update about once a month, then Jakub was doing fairly regular updates, now it hasn't had a new article for a month and a half.

Brandon Bell has left for NVIDIA and Jacob Vandy is now the sole writer, although Brandon will still put up a periodic update or two from time to time.

Dan is working hard to shake things up, that's for sure, even though I'm usually the last to hear about any of it. :smileywink:

 

Definitely some good things ahead, and it'll only get better.

Sounds good.  I'd love to be involved somehow.  Think I should give Dan a call?
