Disabling comments on deadsping posts was a pretty shitty move, but not the least bit surprising.

Daily check-in since 2008.  This is going to unleash so many attorneys back to actually billing. Dear god.  

Sorry, gotta get one long comment in before they shut off the lights:

I hope Jezspin continues until they try to give them a mandate of “stick to not sports”.

Shout out to the dumbasses in charge who haven’t figured out how to turn the comments off on the subblogs yet. You brain geniuses show your asses at every possible opportunity and we’re all better for it.

I’ve lurked here since 2009 and you’ve captured my feelings about Deadspin better than I ever could’ve.

I’ve been a regular here since 2006. My social circle doesn’t really allow many opportunities to talk sports so I treasured that this was THE place that allowed for my dumbass jokes and ridiculous takes to be heard (and even then, there were better comments made by better people).

Well I can star this post out of the grays for you. Won’t help with any future posts, but it doesn’t seem like that’s likely to be a big problem with Deadspin unfortunately.

Thank you, Diana, for this last bit of joy from this site. Much love to you and all the staff, all the way back to Leitch, for making this place what it was.

Every man has two deaths, when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name. In some ways men can be immortal. - Ernest Hemingway

Goodbye everyone. It’s been a hell of a ride. Never made it out of the greys but that’s ok.

How strange to see comments here...

Concourse post, comments work!

I’m 100 percent in support of the entire Giz family resigning and creating their own independent publication free from Great Hill’s bullshit, and would do everything I could to help out. And a paywall would totally be worth it if it keeps everyone safe from vulture capitalists.

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

A question for the Funbag: why should I keep reading anything on this website after Jim Spanfeller and Paul Maidment went to the lengths of firing Barry, like cowards, for the dumbest of reasons?

I want to support the writers here—this is both the best website that exists, and has ever existed, and the best sports…

Something just occurred to me, this stick to sports memorandum has absolutely driven me to visit Deadspin today much more frequently than I typically visit.

The cowards just fired Barry Petchesky.

Fuck the shitlords upstairs for firing Barry before he could make a farewell post about his cat.

I listened for a little bit, and god damn this is the worst shit he’s ever put out by a few light years.
