Bryan Goldberg is the 30 year-old founder of Bleacher Report, an enormously popular sports site written by and for idiots. His new project is Bustle.com, a website for women. Bryan Goldberg is not a smart man. He mocks himself far better than his critics ever could.
Bleacher Report, which Goldberg sold for $200 million, is little more than a deluge of barely-literate clickbait crapola written by poorly compensated schlubs. (Not to be confused with Gawker Media, where we are fairly compensated.)

Oh man. You just hate to see it. You just hate to see it! This may ruin my vacation! But just to show the man I am and the heart that I have I will hire Laura Wagner on the spot.
