Truth sucks, huh? Had to resort do dismissing it?

Yes, rich people can buy stuff for the express purpose of smashing it, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. That’s a good and valuable point you’re stridently defending.

You can ALWAYS tell the people who never once went to Deadspin by how hard they cling to the “THIS WAS CAUSE THEY STOPPED STICKING TO SPORPS” lie.

maybe you should just stop commenting about deadspin then?

I was just starting to get into it, because of the non sports stuff. I'd even read some of the sports things because they were hilarious and made me interested in what they were talking about. :'(

Deadspin is a sports blog plain and simple.

Their editorial freedom was protected by their contract, and more subjectively by their success (read: lucrative site clicks) and journalistic integrity (stretch for a blog, but you catch my drift). One person was fired, the rest quit.

Because Jalopnik has clearly never posted anything tech related in the past or about the military or spaceflight....... Just look at Torches work over the years, a lot of peices that fall clearly outside of the “stick to cars” that you think the site does. Wait are you Spanfeller? are you the Herb?

Well, Deadspin was bigger than Jalopnik, affording them the capability and opportunity to maintain viable sub-blogs that focused on more than #JustSporks. That shouldn’t be held against them as it generated significant site traffic.

Because clearly DS and Jalop are not connected in anyway and the sites have clearly never cross posted anything in their history.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

I liked both.

First they came for the footballs, and I did not speak out — because I didn’t care about the footballs.

Press F to tell Spanfeller he’s an herb.

F

Press F to Deadspin Forever.

Thank you Deadspin. It has been a truly fun and enlightening experience throughout.

Fuck Barstool Sports with an actual barstool

RIP Gawker, RIP Splinter, RIP Deadspin. I was never a sportsball guy but Deadspin’s irreverence, writing, and commentariat had me coming back at least once a day.
