Spanfeller to Bezos, circa 1999: “Stick to books.”

This is a pretty intense wait, all things considered. 

One thing all three of these dogs have in common: Their shit is more valuable to the ongoing success of this planet than Jim Spanfeller.

Ive never read Deadspin because I dont care for sports but this content really interests me. 

If this is the last post on Deadspin (as we know it) ever...I’m happy it’s Tom talking about some dogs. 

After years of reading this site, I made an account to post a comment that this is a good article and I enjoy seeing ads for this kind of content from my favorite sports news only website

In all seriousness Deadspin has been my most visited site since the Manti Te’o story back in the day. Too many great writers and stories and I’ll miss all of it, but I think today is the day I need to stop supporting G/O Media. They’ve successfully ruined the best thing on the internet. When G/O inevitably dumps…

Seeing as how this is likely the death knell of Deadspin, I’d like to wish Tom, Barry, and everyone else good fortune in their future endeavors. The vast majority of you are great writers and you deserve to keep doing it. Fuck G-O Media, fuck vulture capitalists, and extra double-fuck Jim Spanfeller. RIP

For what it’s worth, the phone number for Great Hill Partners works:

When I first started reading Deadspin they had a weekly article about things that looked like dicks in the world. I submitted a picture of a bush outside my apartment that looked like a dick but it never made it into the article because they stopped doing them.

Looks like they need to fire more people.

Just wishing all of you the best. This situation sucks, your management sucks even worse, and I hope all the staff makes it through to the other side at a place where you’re actually appreciated.

You know what this website could use right now? A Huey Lewis and the News career retrospective of some sort, perhaps focusing on their greatest albums or album

Petchesky was just canned, unbelievable.

I am extremely interested in this afternoon’s Funbag.

Know that we stand behind you during these ruff times.

Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day? I have a lot to do today at work and all of these posts about non-sports topics are distracting because I Must Read Every Single One of Them. Whereas with the sports stuff I really only care if its…

God, uPlay is the worst for this. It’s bad enough having crappy launchers, but uPlay doesn’t do anything. You have to get the game from elsewhere, Steam or Epic Games, then uPlay launches on top of it. Why???
