To be fair, an aircraft carrier is basically a small island that can move. It’s an amazing feat of engineering and infrastructure. Trump’s wall would not be.

This is really not OK. I can’t believe Clover & Jezebel are stooping this low for clicks, this might as well be TMZ. Kanye clearly has mental issues and you guys are capitalizing on it. Just STOP. Stop the nasty baiting for people to hate Taylor or make fun of Kanye. I keep seeing this the past few days and I’m over…

He's being given the Kardashian Retreat Treatment (KRT, trademarked). Step 1: Find vunerable black man. Step 2: Drive him mad or towards drugs. Step 3: Watch implosion and act like concerned wife/concubine/underage sidepiece.

So the guy who green lit and edited this piece, Glenn Stout, is the same guy who picks Best American Sportswriting every year? Great.

He’s a gigantic baby who has always fancied himself to be far more important and talented than he actually is.

Kanye West has always been eccentric- to say the least- but the past week makes me genuinely wonder if he’s having a serious breakdown of some sort.

Count the motherfucking clauses in that sentence. Forget the horrifying shit show that was the topic, any editor who let that damn clusterfuck out the door should be fired on the spot for that alone.

I read it and wasn’t sure what the point was. That said, just because journalism focuses on the accused’s point of view doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be distributed. No reasonable person is calling Making a Murderer a rape or murder apology or saying it should be taken down

Yeah I’m sure its named after a Johnny Knox film no one remembers, and not the common sports term that movie itself is named after.

She said she felt dizzy when she stood and had to be stretchered out of the hotel.

At least Monty Hall would have given his girlfriend the choice of which door to be thrown through.

Cheap and lazy pandering for Deadspin likes is not a good look.

You’re right: one fuck-up totally invalidates years of output from the dozens of other people who worked on the site and had nothing to do with that unfortunate article.

Out of curiosity, did Deadspin try to hire any former Grantlander’s? Thought a few of them would be a good fit here.

If this new site just brings on Lowe and Barnwell, it’ll be excellent. Those guys are easily the two best writers out there for their respective sports.

It’ll also bring in a bunch of people from Grantland.

I liked Grantland and am looking forward to seeing what Simmons does with The Ringer. Say what you want about the guy’s own writing, but he hires good writers and lets them write good stuff without over-managing them. That’s something to celebrate.

Regardless of your feelings for Bill or his writing, he was able to put together one of the best teams and sites out there for sporting/social/cultural commentary, so I’d venture to say a fair amount of people are excited about this.

Yeah. No one is excited. Because the last Bill Simmons-ran website was so shitty. At least that’s what Deadspin tells me and my opinion is always Deadspin’s.

I’m actually pretty interested. I loved Grantland.
