Speaking of weird regional things, I’ve never seen a Whole Foods anywhere.

Deadspin just fired Barry.

Hey, let’s talk about how G/O media are such gutless scum that they took down all of the posts across the kinjaverse about how awful the autoplaying videos are and how to contact the ownership about it.

Oh look, I found it. It appears that if one decides to email g-omediafeedback@googlegroups.com regarding the auto-play videos, it will get sent to the people making these stupid decisions.

Anyone have a link to the email accounts linked in the the now-deleted post regarding complaints for the auto-playing videos? Because it would be a shame if that got posted in the comments on every single story from here on out. 

He’s also a thawed-out cryogenically frozen robber baron from 1874, so let’s cut him some slack for being slow on the uptake, eh?

Arthur Blank is such a cliche of a mediocre business executive. Believes his own marketing and good press. Doesn’t read any of his bad press. Isn’t emotionally prepared when things begin to go wrong, and will do whatever he can for as long as he can to avoid admitting when he’s the guy who made a mistake.

I lived in the DC area, and was a Senators fan during their catastrophic 1961-1971 last stand. Their only winning season was 1969, the year Tricky Dick threw out the first ball from the stands; they come in 4th in the AL East.

All the video money went to ads and “Antiques Shitshow.”

I’m convinced the new owners of deadspin bought a massive insurance plan and are intentionally sabotaging the site to cash out. Good article Chris, too bad a half dozen ads and autoplay videos crash it every paragraph. 

The fact that someone thought this was a good idea is just further evidence of the dumbening of this country.

Yep, it was fantastic. I’m sure the G/O overlords will be along to punish them for it shortly. 

He doesn’t sleep as much as rest in a coffin when the blinding sun is up.

No, they’ll publish multiple blog posts blaming Barstool

Who needs SI when we got you fuckers?

Felicity Huffman claims that her daughter has a diagnosed learning disability, and if that’s true I do have some sympathy for the impulse to intervene, though obviously I disapprove that she actually went through with it.

The years of drought and random heavy rains have ruined the tracks. The weather in the morning results in a cool, hard track. But the races are run in the afternoon, after warmth and humidity have softened the ground. The dirt gets clumpy because the composition of it changes over time. The bottom line is that the…

I can’t comment on the owner’s thinking, but Santa Anita is above the other big name tracks like Saratoga or Churchill Downs. For example, Churchill had something like 100 horses euthanized in the past decade. Santa Anita averages about 50 per year. Their track is apparently just garbage.
