Default Jayski sells out to ESPN - 04-03-2007 , 06:25 AM






http://www.jayski.com/cupnews.htm#news

John Kosner, senior vice president and general manager of ESPN new media,
said he wouldn't tinker too much with Adamczyk's homespun site. Viewers
might see more standard Internet banners and ad units, but the content will
remain in Adamczyk's hands. "The assumption is that if you make a deal with
ESPN, your site is going to look like ESPN," Kosner said. "But Jay has hit
on a successful formula. We don't have to reinvent the wheel here. With the
Internet, everything is trackable, you can see people's behavior, you know
what works."(Sporting News/SportsBusiness Journal)(4-2-2007)


goodbye to a good source of info hello to more advertising and crap.

well as the saying goes everything changes, nothing remains the same.

I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing the site made a little nicer. The
Jayski site is very poorly done right now. The information isn't sorted
in a logical fashion, and it's just a complete pain in the ass to try to
navigate there.

too difficult to not find what you're looking for and there'sa ton of stuff
to look at.

Yes, ESPN will likely makeover the site, and it's a shame. It's nearly
perfect the way it is now but if they make it like ESPN's own
collection of sites, or even worse, like NASCAR.com, I agree it will
then be useless. Based on the "...Jay has hit on a successful formula"
in the piece above, maybe they will leave well enough alone?

Simple sites work. Certainly sites with as much data as Jay has at
his. He has a search box, and I've never looked for anything there -
that I knew was there - and not been able to find it. Folks just need
to learn how to search...more than one word....as specific as
possible...the info is there, you just have to know how to look for
it. Sites with lots of data where everything is supposedly "out in the
open and easy to find" are an oxy-moron IMO. Biggest cluster-f*cks on
the net IMO.

I don't know why anyone is that terribly concerned with the National
Enquirer of NASCRAP.

I'm sure u r not alone Thomas, however u & yore ilk will never find
a better website for all things NA$CAr.

My fear is that i will have to go searching on 50 websites
to get the same info i get on Jayski dot com pre-ESPN.

gee it's funny then....Jayski is usually on target. he posts articles
written across the nation and gives as much up to the minute breaking news
as possible. he also hosts info for almost every team on the circuit.

it may not be the *nicest looking* or coolest web page on the www but the is
something to be said for simplicity. it's basic and gets the job done very
well.

the only thing i miss about it is the *Adventures of Ward Burton*

No, Jayski is not on target, the people whose stories he posts are.
The "stories" Jayski himself did were nothing more than rumor and
speculation, and were usually WRONG. Why else would he have gone to
depending on others to do his work? Hell, we already have a Jayski on
RASN, Mr. Alan Jones.

Meh... don't forget Jayski was once affiliated with That's Racin, and also
by Ford... no big deal... and good for him if he's gonna make some
extra jack this way. The guy puts an assload of work into that site.
