"Fixation"? I'm gonna have to see your math on that. Read more

I'd tell you all about the things we did "other than draw a paycheck etc. etc.," but legal would yell at me and some klaxons would go off at the IRS. But by all means, keep humping your assumptions. It seems absolutely necessary for you to demonstrate what a sorry lot of hypocrites we are. Read more

You keep saying it was low quality without actually specifying what was low quality about it. The guy was a dick and a loon ("random questionable things" is a neat elision—you're talking about a bigot who was basically Pat Robertson in greasepaint).

Having been through a number of Gawker Media molting seasons, I'm relatively sanguine about the long-term prospects of Kinja. But right now, it's a problem. Everyone knows it.

We love Sally around these parts. She's pretty much the best newspaper sports columnist going. When she's writing about the NCAA, though, she wanders a little off the rez, in ways that tend to clarify the assumptions and bad faith of the arguments against pay-for-play. We weren't singling her out; it's just that she… Read more
