LOLOLOLOLOL That didn’t take very long!

There’s some delicious, spicy irony in killing a site for sticking to sports and then having to pull sports content from a non-sports site.

Site news from this morning

G/O is so scared of the backlash they are shutting down all the personal Kinja pages. It’s unreal.

My favorite part of the episode was the shout-out to Deadspin during the intro.

I saw your tweet and just wanted to say thank you and good luck. You made an otherwise ugly part of the business into a service for your readers, rather than an encroachment. You’re a perfect example of what has made this place so special: a more thoughtful, more honest, more talented version of what everyone else is…

I’ve always been more of a lurker than a commenter, but I’ve been here since since Jezebel started and read Defamer before that. It’s so sad to see the Gawker sites go down like this. I also feel really bad for The Root, AV Club, and The Onion that just got dragged into this. I don’t even know what to say about it…

Um, did you not notice that he was the ship’s cook, ergo making this a food story and a completely acceptable thing to be found on a website as fine as this one? 

I have Deadspin on my toolbar at the top of the screen, and every morning I still hit it when I’m having my coffee and catching up on this really shitty, obnoxious world. Muscle memory and now lost hope, I suppose.

Occasional commenter here, coming here to associate myself with the above comments - they are my thoughts exactly. Every day I read something on Deadspin that makes me laugh and think, often in the comments. It’s an integral part of my day and will be missed more than I can say so I’m hijacking DennyCrane’s words to…

Your second graf is my EXACT experience (well aside from that I started showing up around 2012 or so) and thoughts about this place. It’s going to be weird not opening a Deadspin Tab come Monday.

Wow, final words...

Deadspin and its commentariat was the best thing on the internet.

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 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).

This is fucking awesome.
