May I suggest a new Deadspin mascott, Sticky; The Stick-to-Sports Stick. Sticky lives in Jim Spanfeller’s butt.

It’s almost as if Deadspin has a motivational factor in posting this...

Why am I continually seeing people spam that wildly incorrect report from a nobody website? Nobody has been fired, we’re all still here doin’ our thing. Like these posts, which you’re commenting under right now.

The fact that he did a sarcastic “stick to sports” post at this time in this place made me a fan.

Came in to give Ray an R.I.P. but this will do.

Nothing weird about the Deadspin post about autoplaying videos dissapearing.

I’m saddened by the imminent firing of the great Ray Ratto.

And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

Bless Ray Ratto.

Same here. I didn’t believe it, then remembered a colleague writing the guide for the original Gamecube game, then thinking, “Wow, that was back when I lived in North Carolina. 2001 doesn’t really seem “nearly twenty years ago” but here we are.

Next academic year I’ll be working with college freshmen who were born after 9/11.

After all, it was nearly 20 years ago that he Hoovered up an entire building full of poltergeists in the original Luigi’s Mansion

I don’t know who is driving Deadspin into the ditch, but they have a lead fucking foot. Autoplay ads with no ability to opt out? drop down ads that cover half the page? When do we get the viruses?  Get bent.

Spanfucker and his cronies are jacking each other off on their cocaine cruise while draining G/O’s coffers with outrageous salaries. When they’ve finally milked it (and themselves) they’ll all buy new underwear and look for their next victim. These are vile, hateful, greedy people who don’t give a shit about anything…

I’m convinced the new owners of deadspin bought a massive insurance plan and are intentionally sabotaging the site to cash out. Good article Chris, too bad a half dozen ads and autoplay videos crash it every paragraph. 

I mean, I think your criticism is fair, but at the same time, Canada hadn’t scored a goal against USA in 12 years, so it’s not like the mentality comes from nowhere. 

Bradley had the initial give away, but Ream’s “clearance” was the nail in the coffin. Love that our top choice center back is “once great in the Championship” caliber.

Watching the team try to form some sort of coherent offensive strategy last night was like watching a monkey try to fuck a football. At a basic level you understand what it’s trying to do, but in the end it’s just confusion and embarrassment for everything involved. 

...i too had odd dreams when I was there.

There was this one cabin no one used and the windows were all super dingy and I swear i heard noises from it one night during our night hike
