Well, shit. I’m going to miss this place. It’s a good group of writers and commenters and I don’t have the desire or energy to seek out someplace similar online. I guess I’ll just start doing my actual job instead of spending so much time on here...

This is the fucking worst. They’re doing it. They’re killing Deadspin.
