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

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.

If I was funny, I would have realized that. The hilarious commentariat will be one of the great legacies of Deadspin.

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).

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

It’s different when a VC pissbaby guts a media organization because the writers hurt his feelings versus when you post some bullshit not germane to the discussion that nobody actually participating cares about.

Fuck Jim Spanfeller, Fuck Paul Maidment, fuck their friends, fuck their family, fuck em for closing the comments, fuck em for being fucking greedy cunt assholes who drove my favorite website into the ground, fuck me, fuck you, fuck everything really.

Well, at least one guy didn’t.

I think MS can actually beat Twitch in the long run at this, but I’m not so sure simply buying up the guys at the top will do anything. At this point, all the guys they bought out might be 5% or less of Twitch’s total “viewership”, which isn’t much for the amount of money they’re throwing around.

Good point. By the way, I think his “seeing ghosts” was admitting he was feeling pressure that wasn’t there (yet). But yeah, Darnold could have played great and they probably still lose by 20 due to Gase.

That $50,000 tax credit is an interesting idea. Honestly, I don’t understand those who don’t support student loan forgiveness because they had to pay theirs - I also worked hard to repay $250k in student loan debt - but that doesn’t mean I want others to have to go through the same thing. But maybe giving something to…

DE! DS was a typo. On a word with only two letters.

Any great coach in any sport subscribes to two simple philosophies:

“He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster.

Yeah, Darnold’s no-name receivers are in man-to-man coverage. What could possibly go wrong against *checks notes* two All-Pro (and possible HoF) guys like Stephon Gilmore and Devin McCourty?

I said this in the other article about the Jets clusterfuck, but this whole thing is basically Belichick daring Adam Gase to change literally anything about his game plan, and Adam Gase just refusing to, because he had something he wanted to accomplish in this game and he was going to do it regardless of if it was…

Darnold: Shh! Listen! I can hear the ghosts now too.
