Report: No More ESPN'S Hashmarks..

FAREWELL, HASHMARKS?

Posted by Mike Florio on July 15, 2008, 8:05 p.m. EDT
It looks like ESPN.com is gradually replacing its year-old Hashmarks blog with a former newspaper beat writers who’ll cover each of the eight NFL divisions.
Currently, ESPN.com has former Cowboys beat writer Matt Mosley on the NFC East, former Seahawks beat writer Mike Sando on the NFC West, former Browns beat writer James Walker on the AFC North, former Broncos beat writer Bill Williamson on the AFC West, former Titans beat writer Paul Kuharsky on the NFC South, former Vikings beat writer Kevin Seifert on the NFC North, and former Panthers beat writer Pat Yasinskas on the NFC South.
We’ve recently learned that former Dolphins beat writer Tim Graham will soon be joining the effort as the eighth (and presumably final) member, covering the AFC East.
Though Hashmarks still exists on ESPN.com’s NFL front page, this story regarding Colts quarterback Peyton Manning carries the “Blog Network: AFC South” designation.
So farewell, Hashmarks. We hardly knew ye.

Not sure how or why, but I knew about this like three months ago.

I think it's a much better format anyway.

Yes, I agree......

Go Cowboys!

It's probably better, but without Matt's work, there would be no Hashmarks. Now he's just one of the "beat writers". Ah well.

We know that but do they?

Why do teams outside the NFC East need beat writers? I always thought those other divisions were the NFL's version of the Washington Generals.
