I’ve got Coates’s latest on order, and I have been reading his work since he was writing for the DC City Paper more than a decade ago - he is beyond brilliant.

I myself am profoundly looking forward to the day when we can get back to insulting each others football teams, and not insulting each other or our favorite website for other reasons.

Nick Denton is a sanctimonious, lying prick.

A bit maudlin in the light of The Post and subsequent fall out. Not as maudlin as that dumb post with the cat and headline begging not to be taken down (haha?) but nevertheless.

Out of absolutely nowhere:

Well said.

I’m guessing that a lot if not all the Gawker writers are mostly refusing to work, or in a pretty damn intense meeting with Denton. (I’m siding with Nick on this one, he made the right call. Also, Max Read was a dick, not sad to see him go.)

But yes, very glad that the content is flowing on the other GM websites.

Patrick - thanks for keeping the content coming today. I think your readers understand that the issues facing the GM sites right now are complex and challenging, but I wanted you to know that your effort has been obvious and it shows an incredible level of professionalism and respect for your audience.

is eagerly taking advantage of the unsupervised open space below to post your unneeded, unwanted and ultimately entirely impertinent opinions about the post or Gawker in general, I won’t bestow upon you the validation of acknowledging your individual poorly-thought-out and selfish comments, but I will say to all of…

As per NFL policy, the victims have apologized for their role in the incident.

You cannot possibly be this obtuse (O, who am I kidding—intentional obtuseness seems to be a job requirement for Gawker properties).

You know how after a mass shooting there will always be someone from the NRA that says “it’s the wrong time to talk about gun control” but the right time is never defined? Gawker will never have a ‘right time’ to talk about the context of that article.

Wait so the guy who has written critical pieces on how the media (In particular Stephen A. Smith and Katie Couric) have covered Floyd Mayweather doesn’t want us to be critical of a journalist who committed a major fuck up simply because he’s friends with said journalist???? Ok.

John McKay coached the Bucs during a 26 game losing streak. Here are some of his best moments:

But this isn’t the first time Gawker Media has stumbled back into hypocrisy when called out. Jezebel posts article after article about women who refuse to call themselves feminists but when it is called out about shitty behavior (like posting rape videos) falls back on the ‘oh, but we’re not feminist’ as the excuse.…

OH MY GOD STOP FUCKING CRYING. HE DIDN’T FUCKING DIE. He made a horrible mistake and in the end, it cost him his job. Is there ANYONE at Gawker who can deal with this within the normal spectrum of human behavior!?

FINALLY!!!....[Shits in hands, throws it all over the office, strips to his socks and runs from the building screaming, “The first sign of the start of the 2015/16 NFL season is here!!!”]

I really don’t, but I don’t think they left in defense of any type of journalism, so much as they did over the hypocrisy of Gawker Media letting the sales executives overrule edit

Only if you’re blackmailing and extorting someone.
