This man is 31 years old.

Come on, what else I am going to think about? Work? My family? What kind of monster are you?

You have officially spent too much time thinking about this.

Yeah, that’s true, but when you describe him as a “Mamet character”, aren’t you basically comparing him to Shelley Levene, whom I believe Gil Gunderson was based on?

It’s amazing that the 49ers decided that a living, breathing Gil Gunderson was the best choice for a head football coach.

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.

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.

Only if you’re blackmailing and extorting someone.
