RealGM Becoming a Tabloid

Getting very sick of seeing these bull headlines on the front page of RealGM. I stopped reading ESPN.com and watching Sportscenter years ago because their "news" was becoming more and more based off of sensationalized quotes and editorials.

I have loved RealGM since 2004, a very loyal user/reader. I behoove the editors/staff here to go back to what has made you popular to begin with, report on statistics, trades, workouts, focusing on the coming season.

Dedicating the front page to Kobe Bryant saying he'd consider Italy for 50 million dollars a year is simply idiotic. What do you expect him to say? No? If you offered him 100 million a year to play in Mongolia, do you think he'd say no?

Very disappointed in the site lately. I've changed my bookmark to the front page of the forums, and I'll be avoiding the front page.

Ehh, it's a slow offseason, and the European free agent signings have been the biggest story in the game since Donaghy.

Most famous player in the league + Huge sums of money + European uprising = Front Page News.

Love it or leave it.

I wouldn't say tabloid yet but if it gets to the point where a headline reads "Shaq-Kobe sex tape has been realeased" than realgm would be a tabloid :lol:

The new headline about Spain and China is a great example of headline reporting. A misleading title based on speculation rather than fact. Clean it up RealGM.
