The board of directors can’t be very happy about the new management running several properties into the ground.

I noticed that. It’s gross. Especially because I’m not sure how compensation works at The Root, but splicing that over to dead Deadspin probably doesn’t gain Karu very much. Especially when the byline is “Deadspin” and comments are disabled.

This was reposted to deadspin because the clueless management drove away all the talent and has stooped to all-”DEADSPIN STAFF” written pieces. 

Necrophiliac Paul Maidment has had this cross-posted to his corpse de jour. Paul Maidment has spent all weekend filling it with his evil essence, pulling from all over the G/o network, relabelling AP vids, reposting old freelance work and changing the date stamps.

Neutral - Absolutely.  If you know what you want and can do everything online, why subject yourself to the “dealer experience”?

First Gear:

And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

Both Morant and Brandon Clarke have looked fantastic so far this season. Plenty of reasons to be excited about the future if you are a Grizzlies fan.

yelling “STOP!” has broken up zero* fights in the history of ever.

Oh yeah.

is that possession stat for real?

Did anyone else watch the U-17 World Cup match against Senegal yesterday? Those boys looked absolutely ready to carry the legacy of the USMNT into the future.

Jalopnik EIC Patrick George was asking for feedback:

Worrying about what “plays into” whatever narrative he wants to spin is pointless. Have you even seen how much bullshit conservative media just spins out of thin air? And all in service of the guy who lies about damn near everything he thinks about. Even when looking at photos of his own inauguration, he lied about…

Damnit why do you have to be right? the idea of him angrily pacing around the white house and yelling at underlings bc people turned his ”lock her up”chant back onto him was keeping me warm and cozy tonight.

Yes, but it also plays into his “most attacked president in history” narrative and by Wednesday, he’ll be saying it was just a small group Democratic representatives and he heard they had paid some people off to boo him. Probably illegal immigrants taking those booing jobs away from real Americans who love him, but…

It definitely will. I think this is his first non-controlled public appearance since becoming President, likely to avoid this exact scenario. This will play 24/7 on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. Dude is gonna be pissed.

God, I hope that "lock him up" chant burned its way into his insecure little facsimile of a soul and we get a torrent of rage tweets about it tomorrow. HOOK IT TO MY VEINS!

“That original reaction by the Astros was wrong, and we own it as an organization. There were many people involved in reviewing that, approving that, and I’m not gonna get into the details of that. It was wrong, it was the Astros’ decision.”

Eh, Mooney’s smart enough to know that having a token white dude in your posse probably comes in quite handy.
