welcome to Deadspin comment section. Nice to meet you.

If I'm the batter I'm wondering why this is such a fucking travesty that I accidentally hit the pitcher, meanwhile its some cool unwritten mystical magical part of the game for pitchers to intentionally bean me with a heater whenever I admire my homerun longer than their personal time clock deems acceptable.

He looks like Tony La Russa trying to find his car.

I enjoyed the storytelling but it didn't seem all that crazy to me.

Weisman got canned in early 2011. His time as a propagandist apparently has trumped his years as a newspaper man. He's been unable to re-enter the world of journalism.

I can't believe Dave said that. The Cranky Fan should be in hotels on top of the Bible.

From that City Paper 2000 article:

John Riggins was fairly critical of Dan Snyder early on ("It's like the franchise has been taken hostage by someone who has the mind-set of a child."), so Snyder bought the radio station and cancelled Riggins show, at which point Riggins was really critical of him (calling him a "bad guy" whose "heart is dark" and…

At first I thought it was the Washington Post. Then I realized it was the Washington Times, and said "no one gives a fuck about the Washington Times or what they do."

In his defense, Dan would happily buy form-fitting clothes if he could find a Toys-R-Us that still sells Cabbage Patch Kids.

Remember everyone - New York TIMES, Washington POST. Don't get them mixed up in either city.

Two losing traditions that deserve each other.

Nike was just protecting their house.....wait, that's not right.

Never understood why Deadspin mocks companies that protect their "brand". The real problem is asshats like Rovell who shill for companies like a goddamn one-man PR team.
