That is a terrible analogy using a completely different business model. Starbucks's customers pay directly for its product (I don't drink that crap). Gawker's advertisers pay Gawker. We do not. There is an enormous difference in business between users and customers. Sometimes they are the same, as is the case with…

We are absolutely not Deadspin's customers. We are site users. Huge difference.

Thanks for bringing attention to this. A couple points to emphasize:

I'm pretty outraged. Daisuke is still pitching in the majors?

My last job was in fire and explosion investigation. We investigated a lot of dust explosions, which are a huge problem in the food industry. I think you hit on the main points — you want a dry, high surface area, volatile substance (if you are considering combustibility to be a desirable trait — otherwise, you want…

I think you are making some good points, but I don't think the Steelers ever had a guy taking up as much cap space as Revis. If Lovie Smith's scheme doesn't require a cover guy like Revis, then his salary is a luxury that the Bucs cannot afford, and I don't think any NFL team could.

I try not to harp on grammar and spelling, except in cases when the commenter insults the intelligence of someone else. So learn how to fucking spell and write a coherent sentence.

Any organization that gives the finger to its fans and the taxpayers like the Marlins have doesn't get to say shit about a fucking spring training game.

So, if more people supported their local teams, the unilateral ownership structure of MLS would change? Why the hell should I root for my local team when MLS will set up the league to maximize interest at the expense of competitive balance? You might as well root for the Washington Generals. I'd rather watch WWE — at…

I'd be happy if they'd stop suing tiny institutions that have similar names for trademark infringement. Harvard is the NFL of higher education.

Nope. These guys are "scrappy."

On the other hand, his alter ego Joey is a fine gentleman.

I know, pretty good, right? With a mask on limiting his peripheral vision no less. Pretty high degree of difficulty on that one.

Exactly. Power and money play as much a role in sports as winning.

I was going to say Paste Eating.

I think the most shocking and disgusting part of all of this is that Dennis Kucinich is a contributor to Fox News.

I'd say that the rest of the league is playing chess while the Knicks play checkers, but that is an insult to checkers.

This deserves all the stars.

Wow. A lot of ignorance going on in the gray.

I am so jealous of this comment.
