This whole thing just sucks. Regardless of how anyone feels about “the post", I think we can all agree that this situation is shitty and I think we all fear having to eulogize more of our favourite writers and editors before the week is done.

If you assume that an entire editorial staff would stand behind this story to maintain their click baiting, you are naive and clearly have never worked in a professional setting (see how it’s annoying when someone makes assumptions about the point you’re trying to make?)

That’s a point covered in sleaze that deserves the real debate here. Why did they do that? What point did that serve? That’s the question I want answered. I just don’t want people to try to deem something ‘un-newsworthy’ because they don’t like how it was reported on and I also reject the idea that the purpose (on a…

Then fight it on those grounds, but pretending it was just an excuse to out some CFO would be incorrect.

Again, it’s not HIM... It was the issue he got himself tangled up with. I couldn’t care less about the CFO of Conde Nast. I do care about someone with influence being blackmailed to get a federal complaint pushed to the desk of the friggin President.

I understand the anger around the outing, but are you to tell me that if this story were about a female hooker trying to blackmail an influential person to get a HUD complaint pushed through that it WOULDN’T have made it to Gawker? I’m gay and even I feel that’s a double standard.

Seriously? I was hoping to hide out here until the mothership implodes on itself.

That answer is more satisfying than watching the full three minute explanation.

This is a diet soda away from being the shopping list of every subject on my 600 lb life.

I’m more of an Aaron guy myself. Guess Donald and I wouldn’t get along all that well either.

Can ESPN just stop pretending that they report with any objectivity anymore? That ship sailed a long time ago.

Pretty well every example was concerned with how to make John Cena sound as super awesome as possible. Didn’t see that one coming.

I’ve worked in several Canadian ad agencies that had access to unannounced products or new brands that were soon to come out and I was always shocked by how lax the security was. We had all of the usual bells and whistles to get in and out of the office but once you were in, you could pretty well have unfettered…

You think we’ll never be a legitimate member of society? Perhaps you should get out of your mother’s basement and join the rest of us who live above ground. Your nonsense isn’t tolerated up here, away from the mole people.

Shocking. Always thought of Sapp as such an upstanding guy. I know Steve Young agrees.

Ah, the “If you want people who are paid to keep you safe to actually help you, don’t complain about the 25 other times you’ve seen them do something unethical if not downright illegal” argument. I like the new stuff, but it’s fun to listen to the greatest hits every now and then.

Ya, my first thought when I read this was, “what would their reaction have been had they injured themselves or god forbid, one of them was killed”?

Why would he check the schedule to see when the Mets were playing them? He lives in Florida. Are the Marlins so dreadful that people who live in the state would rather get on a plane and watch baseball elsewhere rather than just driving a short distance to see them? (Before you comment, I did make sure the Giants were…
