This just happened.

Note from Barry:

Can the owners plz stop this shit and let the writers run this place. I really dont wanna have to find another group of websites to check 50 times a day during work. But they are really forcing my hand with this bullshit.

I don’t have much to say about this other than fuck Spanfeller, man. A dark day for journalism

Goddamn it, Spanfeller, you actual fucking idiot.

We have a media company whose management is in open war with its readers and writers.

Well boys & girls, it looks like we’re in the endgame now.

This is probably the hardest thing to accept about a politician as dumb and impulsive as Trump. (I continue to type after muting my speakers because I can’t find the ad to stop it.) He’s just dumb and there’s nothing more too it. His motives are fleeting and banal. He’s no arch mastermind, he’s just a dumb,…

The decapitations will continue until morale improves.

This is going to be the next great case study in how NOT to run a company that you just bought

no booze is fine, you are right. What is not fine is making people wear heels and then pay for booze. That is rude

Look at the rat’s nest of cables there. Christ. Does no one in that place own a couple of zip ties?

“This isn’t analysis because there is nothing to Trump, or to his politics—no room for subtext, no broader strategy beyond whatever seat-of-the-pants pandering is most immediately apparent, nothing but the wheedling and undignified and insatiable vanity that is always right there to see.”

the thing that most powerful people want to do with power is use it to tell other people to shut up 

David, I wish to register a complaint. You’ve filed this story to Politics, but this is erroneous, as this is clearly a Sports Story.

Please do not disparage my good blog. All regular blogs are Just Look Nice; blogs in the feature format are Very Fancy.

(while I’m making rules, if you’re requiring people to wear heels you want to continue to participate in society without being branded as a pariah, you are not allowed to have a cash bar)

This is the perfect comment, chef’s kiss.

I feel like venture capitalists would consider theft a sport, right?

This is good and now I hope Deadspin never covers sports again.
And if Jimbo gives you any trouble about Trump, explain that you’re dunking on him, and dunking is sports.
