We ALL owe it to the Deadspin staff, the Splinter staff, and Gawker to fight until the very end. Just as they did for us.

Goodbye everyone. It’s been a hell of a ride. Never made it out of the greys but that’s ok.

You can tell 90% of Deadspin commenters are lawyers because the comments skirt so artfully around libel laws

I wish you knew how sad it made me feel to bring YOU out of the greys on Deadspin.

It would not surprise me if you peeled back the corporate layers and Peter Thiel was there bankrolling the purchase of the sites. That is as rational explanation for this shit as anything else. 

They are either monumentally incompetent, or so monumentally petty as to be throwing millions of dollars down a black hole to destroy the site as revenge for some sort of perceived slight.

Farmers has pulled Spanfeller’s big ad buy. This is the type of incompetence that deserves an ESPN 30 For 30. 

These guys are happy for this sort of coverage. 

“As I was leaving the store, I dared not disturb this noble and aged dog, but I felt a pang of sadness about not having said goodbye upon reaching the bottom of the stairs.”

None of these precious dogs died, yet I'm crying. Please hang in there, Deadspin. Many of us Jezzies love you, too.

This is probably one the best pieces I have ever read on Deadspin. I might be super biased, as I love dogs, but that’s how I feel nonetheless.

Powers that be: “Stick to sports”

I assume management has some sort of engagement metric they use to assess posts. So here’s a comment that’s sure to drive up such a metric.

I don’t like to play favorites but the first dog was my favorite.

Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day? I have a lot to do today at work and all of these posts about non-sports topics are distracting because I Must Read Every Single One of Them. Whereas with the sports stuff I really only care if its…

(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)

Bashing on Springsteen by millennials has become as cliche as the boomers’ fawning. As a Gen Xer, I’ll sit over her and smugly listen to Nebraska, knowing you’re both wrong.
