8th
Two million years ago man discovered fire. In 1879 Thomas Edison created electric light. In the 1970s Al Gore invented the Internet. And on June 8, 2011 Grantland.com was launched.
I am convinced that Grantland is the result of someone scanning my brain to determine the answer to the question, “hey Andy Stokan, if you could create your dream website from scratch what would it be like and who would write for it?” Seriously, The Dream Team aint got shit on Grantland. In fact The Dream Team might have to turn over rights to their moniker. I mean look at this lineup: Bill Simmons, Chuck Klosterman, Dave Eggers, Katie Baker, Molly Lambert of This Recording, Lane Brown of NY Mag’s Vulture blog, Malcom Gladwell of Malcom Gladwell fame. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Now I finally know what God was up to on the 8th day.
Well, goodbye productivity, it’s been fun. And goodbye entire rest of the internet. If you need me, I’ll be at Grantland.com.
