The ex-Gawker sites have done and continue to do plenty of good journalism. See, for an example, their coverage of the Baylor scandal, and in particular pretty much anything Diana Moskovitz writes on this here site. While, like every outlet, its managers sometimes made bad editorial decisions over the years, Gawker…

If that’s what Schefter was thinking, it’s pretty short-sighted.
This is true and right.
Not only have I written many articles I wasn’t paid to write, it’s fair to say I owe my career to unpaid internships. But I still believe they’re wrong, discriminatory and should be purged from the media industry.
More Rovell: “Sprinkle your box of work with white powder. Employers will think box contains donuts. Nobody throws away donuts.”
Fair enough on the joke, watching too much Sean Spicer may have permanently killed my sense of humor.
The idea that Jeff Bezos is ordering WaPo reporters to tweet nice things about Sean Spicer’s press conference in exchange for favorable drone regulations is barely a step removed from a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.
Nah, pretty sure I got your point: You think the Cavs were underdogs before this trade and are not anymore. Here’s mine: That’s incorrect. I believe Korver does not materially change the Cavs’ position in the NBA hierarchy relative to the Warriors, and therefore his acquisition is a strange reason to change your…
So the fact that the defending-champion Cavs had three superstars in LeBron, Kyrie and Love and no serious competition in the East was fine with you, in terms of rooting for them, but the addition of 35-year-old Kyle Korver as a three-point specialist is too much?
Ah, sorry, my ad blocker must have stopped them for me.
Two issues with this I can think of: The NBA draft is very top heavy and 2nd rounders rarely become anything useful, so teams don’t really value them at all. Nobody would give up a bunch of 1st rounders, even in the distant future, for 2nd round picks now. Also, you’re not allowed to trade away 1st round picks in…
Two thoughts:
Yep. That’d be the Stepien rule, named after the man responsible for a much darker era of Cleveland Cavaliers basketball.
You know what’s truly awful, and obnoxious? Telling someone that you know better than them why they feel about something the way they do. Disagree with my opinion all you want, but don’t presume to tell me I don’t actually believe it myself. You don’t know me and you’re not a mind-reader.
Thank you. Bale was GARBAGE in that movie and it pulled me out of the damn thing every fucking time he was on screen. Actually, you know what, so was Brad Pitt, who is basically coasting at this point.
In fairness to the Sentinel, they did allow the publication of a detailed rebuttal.
So, the crazy thing is, the David Whitley column you quoted might not even be his worst one this year. Allow me to nominate a true doozy entitled, shit you not, Let’s put a Kap on sports protests, which our humble columnist may as well have titled “Don’t take a knee on my white privilege.”
How much does this guy have to be suspended and how many times does he have to apologise before people stop piling on the kid?
I’m not sure how common this is (though I see there’s already another comment to similar effect) but I’m a Jets fan who is totally OK with the Giants winning. I’m not a fan of the Giants, but I also don’t consider them a rival.
