Samer got emotional and embarrassed himself in this exchange and I can’t see it any other way.

I’m shocked that you would so readily share such a deeply embarrassing exchange.  Do you think you come off as the intelligent one in the above conversation?

Samer, did a colleague hack your account and post this under your name? Why would you actually post this willingly? It’s not a good look.

It’s really interesting that you would send hate mail that in my opinion looks like something that belongs in dead letters. The timing is weird too, given that Dead Letters was published today.

Unfortunately Samer, you did get owned here. Thoughts and prayers. 

Good heavens — you send the guy the sort of shallow, witless emails one might expect out of any college humanities freshman ... and you think this exchange somehow makes you look *good*?

So Stephens took the high road and you wrote a bunch of emails that look like they could have been written by an angry 12 year-old, and you actually think that by writing this and copying those emails and publishing them, we’re going to take your side?

“After watching so many scenes where Joel is horrified by Midge’s comedy, it’s a relief and pleasure to see Midge with a man who sees her for the star she is.”

This is an unbelievably stupid take.

Laura is one of my favorite writers here, but this piece just struck me as shitty. I’m usually wrong though and I’m sure she rightfully does not give af about my opinion.

Haters gonna hate.

I love Deadspin and I am and will always be Team Deadspin, particularly when it comes to Barstool.

Can we bring back the adorable light bulb from the 1933 Cup instead of the obnoxious shit we have to hear today?

Nashville couldn’t score on 4 power plays, including a 5 v 3. They have no excuses. The better team all series won. The only thing I don’t get is how Crosby got the Conn Smythe. Yeah he’s still Sid and he’s still amazing but he did miss some time and I think Malkin or Guentzel would have had a better case.

He is definitely on the receiving end of kicks these days

Those Pens are bad hombres.

Caps would’ve won if not for all the Penguin’s ILLEGAL GOALS. So many bad goals allowed by terrible (or sick) reffs! VERY UNFAIR !

I love when everyone talks themselves into how THIS is the year that the Capitals don’t choke in the playoffs.

But the masks were going to help stop the Penguins from scoring
