I’m on the record that I think the redesigns will fail. And I’m now officially opening the betting pool. I think Denton is going to be forced to pull back on this. If anyone wants to wager that the redesign don’t get yanked back (or greatly modified) by, let’s say, June 1… I’ll take your bet.

How about we make the bet that Denton might make with Krucoff? Monthly pageviews for all Gawker Media as determined by Quantcast. 500 million over/under, every month loser pays $1 for every million pageviews/impressions they’re off by. Right now, Quantcast has Gawker Media at something like 443 million monthly pageviews. You in?
