People who use phrases like 'this will not stand" tend to do that.

Portnoy is a tool but at least he knows he's playing a heel and relishes the role. Deadspin people have no concept of how odious they are.

He knows his role and plays it well. I know it's a schtick, but it's an entertaining one

You have to admit the temper tantrum is super entertaining.

The Vigo the Carpathian story was interesting when it was first posted. I was super intrigued by Magary's brain injury story, too.

At this rate the new owners might take up Dave on his offer to sell the site for $1.

The writers were as good as fired when Deadspin got bought, I respect them shitting up the place on the way out and making it a legal fight. More entertaining than most stuff they've written, plus fuck cheering for *checks notes* G/O Media.

If the idea is that they are sports writers then I don't think it's out of bounds to ask them to write about sports on Deadspin. When Splinter existed it made sense to talk about politics.

May God have mercy on whoever is dumb enough to hire these talentless crybabies after they leave Deadspin.

I'm sure they'd fit in well at Buzzfeed.

It's the internet, you can write about whatever you want from any angle you want. Getting to live in the most prestigious neighborhoods in the country while you do so proves much dicier.

That's a pretty big "if." "If" the union contact they signed gave them editorial independence, might as well use it.

Shouldn't the joke be, "It's not a firing. It's a surprise quitting."?

They'd probably think that's the nicest thing someone could say about Deadspin writers.

Three cheers for [checks notes] private equity...for sticking it to [checks notes] the children whose fathers work in private equity. A real media ouroboros if there ever was one.

Deadspin's twitter account has been silent for 22 hours. Apparently the bosses went in and removed their shitfest front page yesterday and replaced it with relevant stories. I guess the staff is deciding not to do any work.

I'm sure that will turn out well for them. :lol:

The stick to sports articles are still on top of the article timeline, even though the featured articles have been fixed.

I was always pro Deadspin until a few years ago when they all started crying about unionizing.

Bum ba dum bum, bum bum bum

Autoplaying ads with sound enabled that were hidden at the bottom of the page where you didn't see them seemed like such a great idea.

I guess the staffers at Deadspin think their paychecks come from pixie dust and not ad revenues.

Last letter in the Funbag posted this morning

Quote:
Will:

I’ve never been madder about a media story than about what’s being done to Deadspin. Lump in my throat and too furious to sleep, just thinking about this absolute garbage. Cannot even imagine how it’s making you all feel. I can’t muster up the good-after-bad energy required to scream at your bosses from across the void, but I felt like it would be worthwhile to copy your entire masthead just to say thanks. You are one of the very best collections of writers, artists and thinkers that we have anywhere today. I know I’m not the only one who will continue to try finding a way to your work through whatever inane and dehumanizing obstacles that your purported superiors keep dumping in the middle of our path to each other. What you have created is valued and valuable, rare and special, and I hope you are all as proud of what you’ve built and the fight you’ve been fighting as your readers are of you. You have my deepest admiration and my strongest appreciation for everything you have accomplished to make Deadspin what it is. Simply put: thank you all for making my favorite website.


:roll:

It was probably Leitch

The history of the internet is one giant stream of ad revenue turning into pixie dust.

Portnoy continuing to dunk on the corpse that is Deadspin

BAHAHAHAHA. You literally can’t make this shit up. A company that has declared bankruptcy, been sold and failed, sold and failed, sold and failed more times than I have fingers just cost their new owners a 1 million dollar ad deal because the entitled spoiled brat writers at Deadspin wouldn’t stop bashing their ad campaign. And yet these idiots who work there keep playing the role of victim. It’s like they honestly don’t get that Deadspin is a for-profit site yet. That when you sign up to work at a sports site you should write about sports. That you need to sell ads to pay the bills.
