Good read. Still, this great piece by Sam a couple of years ago had me all misty-eyed by the end.

It’s hard to know where even to begin with this piece, which is meandering and pandering and illogical on a topic about which Deadspin has generally been clear, aggressive and authoritative. Read more

Despite having put on a good face, Ryan says he felt like a “leftover” under the new GM Read more

I’m sorry, but this article totally misses the point. It is one thing to do wrong, but it is hypocritical of us as a society to completely disregard someone’s genuine attempts at redemption. I also take issue with the fact that every time there is an article on Deadspin about Ray Rice there is also always a sentence… Read more

That ad reminds me of this old meth PSA

The tone and delivery of this article is confusing. What she did was...wrong? Because it was...paternalistic? Or because she asked people to not judge others based on race? Not being sarcastic here, just deeply confused by the mobius strip that is Gawker racial politics. Read more

It's not that Grantland is superfluous, or that it's all style and no substance, or hasn't produced a number of really good pieces. I think Tim is saying that Grantland is ESPN's prestige brand (granted as an indulgence to Simmons), and as such, it's tantamount that it bear the hallmarks of prestige sports journalism.… Read more

Great post, but shit, Marchman, I think you might even be soft-pedaling the critique of Simmons here. His editor's letter itself makes the case you make in the last few grafs: "The narrative shifted abruptly, and by Friday night, early high-profile supporters were backtracking from their initial praise."
