Oh my goodness, would you look at that. The Unnamed Temporary Sports Blog has once again been switched on. You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.
What is the Unnamed Temporary Sports Blog?
It is still a blog. Temporarily! Over the course of the next week, April 20 through April 24, we will once again be publishing blogs for your reading pleasure. At the conclusion of this period we will vanish once more.
Who will be posting blogs on this site?
The same crew of morons who posted blogs last time.
What kind of blogs will you be posting?
We’ll post blogs about whatever the damn hell we feel like. We’ll be tweeting them out from this account.
You guys are aware that there aren’t really any sports being played right now, right?
Not your problem, bud!
Are you guys doing this for free?
Hell no, man. We are still just as frickin’ unemployed as we were the last time we pulled this little stunt. This time we’re getting a big fat check from Sunsoil.
Anything else I should know?
No, I don’t think so. Just get ready to hang out with us for five days and have a moderately good time. Oh, and don’t forget to buy Drew’s book when it drops on Wednesday.
Nice.
Yeah, nice.
Oh, by the way, what do you guys think of the rebooted version of Deads–
This blog is over!

I assume you’re referring to a subscription model but I’m going to give you some ad-based media tips:
– Click on the Sunsoil links regardless, and disable any adblocker you have installed
– Subscribe to the Sunsoil newletter via the link (a conversion is a conversion)
– Share the UTSB links widely. Ugh, I know, but shares are a metric, and shares lead to views, views with no adblocker lead to ad impressions (I’m going to guess that ad impressions are the primary KPI)
– Something I always like to do: if I’ve come to a page from, say @UnDeadspin, once I’ve read the gorgeous goddamn prose, I then navigate to the publisher’s homepage or another article on the site to keep the bounce rate down
– Give Sunsoil great ratings on your fave shopping platform of choice and leave a review referencing UTSB
BONUS
– If you do marketing surveys, rank Sunsoil higher than other CBD brands (if a bunch of UTSB readers do this in the next couple of weeks, they can point to UTSB as having helped brand reputation/awareness. This is another metric)
– Go to google and search “sunsoil” and click on the brand page
– Like them on all the aforementioned awful social media places

Thank you to the TBTL Tens people who got me here. I am a 63-year-old woman who regrets disco and attended minor league baseball games all over the U.S. But I’m leaving a comment because the name of your blog reminded me of childhood when I played Wiffle ball with my two brothers. Because we only had three players, we used Imaginary Men to help us staff the bases. Your Unnamed Temporary Sports Blog reminded me of our Imaginary Men…and then suddenly, everything including the quarantine, made sense. (Did I say my age? Oh, yes. I did. That explains things, too.)

2. I lol’d that one of the stories over there is about what Vegas will be like when it reopens, which has nothing to do with sports. I couldn’t find a way to comment “STICK TO SPRORTS”

It feels like a bunch of people trying to be ANGRY WITH HOT TAKES like ISIAH THOMAS WAS RIGHT and MICHAEL JORDAN SUCKS) I missed the levity and irreverence of the tone here, but the writing was spot on and you took real issues head on. I fucking miss this shit so much. Like many others, I’d legit pay money for this to become a real thing, or even a more semi-regular thing.
