Well that sucks. It was because of your avatar that I pieced together quickly it was you. This site is clearly not the same after and even a year or so before the kinja switch. Though I think it’s very cool that there are several former commenters who created new sites for people to still get together and parse pop…
Dude anonymously posted to fucking Reddit asking for feedback. This is a long way from bullying.
You’re a remarkable idiot

Dear r/AmITheAsshole,
So, I was recently put in charge of an already successful website by this private equity firm. I covered the site in loud, obnoxious ads, drove readers away and than started firing the people who made the website successful in the first place when they wouldn’t kiss my ass. But, I mean, those…
I know that frustration all too well. I lost my pword and had to create this new account which will never get ungreyed.

I’ve been coming to Deadspin regularly for about 10 years now. I love this place. So many laughs, so many great reads. The…
Farmers has pulled Spanfeller’s big ad buy. This is the type of incompetence that deserves an ESPN 30 For 30.
Not sure there’s gonna be a better place to post this, so here we go:
Waited until the final second, then nailed the 55 yarder. Well played.
Deadspin forever.
Thank you for everything that you do, Drew. You (and the entire staff, past and present) have given your readers so much joy through your work. Hard to express how shitty it feels to see what’s happening to Deadspin right now.
Spanfeller and Maidment can go fuck themselves.
We may not all be as eloquent as Will at the end there, but I think it’s safe to say we all feel the same way.
Now playing
Hey Spanfeller and the rest of the G/O shitheads:
Drew. you have given me more entertaining, witty, and poignant CONTENT than any other writer i’ve followed in my life. thank you, and thank your colleagues for their tremendous work over the years.
