Thank sweet little baby Jesus that someone is FINALLY sticking to sports.

An introspective, well written piece.  Truly what we need for these troublesome times.

Man, if there was more dog content, I’d be more inclined to click an ad every now and then.

On that note: I’m looking for new car insurance. If only there was some form of advertisement that I could rely on to point me at an appropriate company. 

The intersection of my all time favorite sports team playing a World Series game 7 and my all time favorite website being choked to death in front of my very eyes is too much to handle.

Bless you.

“Can I fuck to my friends band?”

I’m not a lawyer and I wasn’t trying to skirt libel laws. Let me be more direct... Jim Spanfeller is a daycare arsonist and murders the elderly for fun. And he takes pictures of his dog and posts them to Facebook with a minimum of seven hashtags.

First they came for Splinter, and the commentariat raged, but was silenced.
Then they added Autoplay Video Ads, and the Commentariat Raged but was ultimately ignored.
Then they came for Deadspin... And y’all aren’t going down without a fight. Godspeed you crazy diamonds. Godspeed.

Deadspin has been the first site I…

About four or five times this morning I habitually hit ctrl-t, then typed dea and hit enter for the autocomplete, just to go see what Deadspin had to say. This has been the one and only sports website for me SIMPLY BECAUSE it wasn’t bland recaps of a game with sports reporting interviews like “so, did you give 110…

This feels like a wake, and everyone else is way better at expressing this than I am, but here goes. I’m immensely proud of the entire writing and editing staff here, for doing what you all said you would in the face of this type of fuckery. Deadspin’s attitude and ethos can’t be killed, and even if the bones are…

- What the Deadspin writers did yesterday is LEGENDARY. It will - quite seriously - be long-remembered in the oral history of the internet. They successfully exposed Jim Spanfeller et al as douchebags across mediums ranging from small podcasts to the CNN homepage. Just unbelievable.

I’m genuinely surprised to see this today. Last night I explained the whole story to my wife - Theil to yesterday - and figured that the site was done. It wasn’t a KSK-style fuck off, but yesterday really felt like the end. It felt strange to say out loud how much this site has meant to me (I started reading just…

Not sure there’s gonna be a better place to post this, so here we go:

Hey Drew. You’re the best, and good luck with the brain and everything.

To be fair, I actually think that McNamara had learned quite a bit from his experience and had dealt with the fact that he made big, world-changing mistakes, at least to a certain extent. He came off as pretty self-aware, though I might be misremembering.

There is an ocean between ‘ignore your enemy’ and ‘invite them in to give them credibility’.

The easiest thing to do is just get one credit card, put your normal expenses during the month (groceries, utilities, gas, etc) on it and pay it off every month.

I live the AV Club just fine but I wish you guys would just stick to sports. 

You can’t take it with you.

Jesus thats dangerous and so wrong. I can not imagine an actual credit training saying that. That just starts the cycle over and makes it worse. The easiest thing to do is just get one credit card, put your normal expenses during the month (groceries, utilities, gas, etc) on it and pay it off every month. Build your…
