Since it’s Comic Con weekend, I thought a little Game of Thrones joke for the title wouldn’t be a bad idea. You know, the old gods and new that they’re always talking about. There isn’t anything in the way of Comic Con links in this linkdump because Jackie has that covered in the ELO but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have interesting things to read.

Anyway, it’s Sunday which means that we have to do the links. Since I had a Game of Thrones theme for the title, let’s kick off with Emilia Clarke.

Only three football clubs outside of Britain earned more money from TV fees than the last place team in the Premier League. Can any of the other leagues remain competitive in that landscape? (Vice Sports)

The Pan Am games started this weekend. A word of advice: Don’t link to the Pan Am Games’ site or use their hashtag because they may sue you. (The Register)

I’m probably the only person here concerned about metrics (you would be concerned about metrics if you got that < $1 CPM WordAds money) but here’s a look at the discrepancy between internal and external web traffic reporting. (FiveThirtyEight)
