Just wanted to say it fucking blows that Barry got fired yesterday. There are relatively few constants left in life, but Barry writing the first article of the day for Deadspin was one of them. I’ve been coming to Deadspin regularly for about 10 years now. I love this place. So many laughs, so many great reads. The…

Hi welcome to Deadspin Bob, I’ve been reading this site since 2007 every day and this is the way it’s always been here. It’s a great site because it’s not purely about sports. If you want a sports site, there are literally tens of thousands of them that will give you the fucking box score and some pithy postgame…

Deadspin has one of the best collection of sports and feature writers I’ve ever read. If it dies by the hand of some idiot PE investors, I’ll be truly heartbroken. 

Not sure there’s gonna be a better place to post this, so here we go:

What else are you going to do?  Work?  

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.

Hey Drew. You’re the best, and good luck with the brain and everything.

I suspect a lot of us would express similar sentiments. I don’t want my ad revenue going to Great Hill any more, but I also have an incredibly hard time letting go of Deadspin and the writers I love. Hoping the next few days will present a better course of action for the commentariat crew 

Drew, is it true that neither Jim Spanfeller nor Paul Maidment ever had friends, a girlfriend, made any sports team, or has seen The Godfather? Is it also true that Jim smells like sweaty hobo taint and Paul smells like a urinal puck?

A question for the Funbag: why should I keep reading anything on this website after Jim Spanfeller and Paul Maidment went to the lengths of firing Barry, like cowards, for the dumbest of reasons?

I want to support the writers here—this is both the best website that exists, and has ever existed, and the best sports…

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.

I have been a reader for more than a decade. This site, its brilliant writers, staff, and commentators, has helped distract me through bad breakups, depression, sudden deaths in the family, and horrible bosses. It is a daily escape, a refuge to a place that makes one realize how ridiculous this whole pageant is.…

Thinking of you all today and the near future. What you’re doing is right and important, and I’m sincerely so sorry this has fallen on your shoulders to take up. It’s shameful and outrageous. Deadspin means a great deal to me on a daily basis. 

Don’t have anything interesting to contribute, just wanted to say how much I appreciate Deadspin NOT sticking to sports despite orders to the contrary. I know it’s going to cost some of you your jobs, so it’s not some silly act of rebellion. This is why I come to Deadspin. If I wanted to stick to sports I’d be at ESPN…

Just want to throw my 2 cents of sad reminiscing into the void. I’ve read this damn time wasting blog for way too long now, and it has taken up an unreasonably large portion of my time and effort. I don’t regret it one bit. Simply put, the commenters here made life funnier, and that’s important. If/when this ship goes…

If this is the last post to ever run on Deadspin, it is surprisingly fitting.

If your shithead bosses are just gonna kill this place anyway, I’m happy to see that you’ve all decided to burn it down first. Vive le Deadspin!

In case this is it, I just want to say again that Steely Dan kicks ass and all you haters can fuck yourselves.
