I swore off Deadspin early last year and didn't bother coming back to see how it improved. Is The Concourse on its way back to being the "food, beer, and pop culture" section that it was or is it still the "hey, we have opinions about things other than sports and we can be just as obnoxious about it as Gawker and…
I've heard that from people, but I started reading in 2012 so I just have to take their word for it. Drew Magary is a trooper for withstanding the constant changes in editorial direction.
I didn't like io9, but only because it was way too fan nerdy. That's better than being most of the Gawker blogs.
I do indeed. He's the only regularly entertaining writer on all of the Gawker sites, let alone Deadspin. Granted, he's the last remnant of the old Leitch-run site and I'm not sure how he stays sane.
That means they'll have to tone it down. In that case, they'll merely be just as bad as Salon, Slate, Daily Beast, HuffPo, etc. That's still not good.
Jezebel is as much of a petty outrage bait site as Gawker and Deadspin. Kotaku is just lame as hell.
Worse- writing for The New Republic
Ugh, Daulerio is such a fucking scumbag for that "defense" of what he wouldn't publish. And the sad thing is that Deadspin was worth reading when he was in charge of it, even though a lot of people say it was better under Leitch.
Some of my friends keep saying "fuck Peter Thiel" like Gawker is an innocent martyr, but the Hulk Hogan sex tape video wasn't even the worst or pettiest thing they did. Laying off unionized but contract-less workers and outing Tim Geithner's Conde Nast executive brother for blackmail purposes were arguably worse, and…
Careful! Now that Deadspin's a part of the same family of websites as here, Drew Magary might be reading this.
Hey, maybe that means Deadspin will be worth reading again, which it hasn't been ever since Tommy Craggs turned it from "a funny blog about the ridiculousness of sports" to "a dull blog about society's injustices as viewed through the lens of sports."
A couple will be here, unfortunately. Read how Univision is dealing with their staffers.
ajajajajajajaja
As if AV Club wasn't compromised enough as it is, now we get to see a couple of their disgusting hypocritcal moral crusaders continue polluting the internet on this very website. If it were up to me, all of them would be blacklisted from writing gigs across the internet.
Definitely agree
Because to today's critics, a TV show or movie can't be the best it can be unless it has the right set of moral values. AV Club used to be a holdout until they told their staff to piss off and replaced them with freelancers.
I felt this episode was light on the laughs until the very end and was about as underwhelming as the third episode. But it explored a sociological concept so the reviewer liked it. Good for him, but that's a bonus in my mind, and not the reason why I watch shows in the first place.
Absolutely.
This article is so all over the place that it was really hard to read. All I could glean from it is that many of these bands are long dead, buried, and forgotten, which supports the headline well enough. It's a shame that six years later, "alternative rock" was a punchline on a David Cross comedy album and so were the…
