:lol: There’s some professional grade spin up in here . “ Portnoy is basically a failure and lucky to be in business at all , Deadspin was actually making money it’s just that their evil overlord corporate owners are the rare breed that doesn’t want to make make money and made the situation untenable for the noble scribes that work there who are the real winners in all this .

Portnoy comes from the same (((East Coast stock))) as the Deadspin people. The difference is that he knows and embraces the fact that he's an insufferable douche while the Deadspin people do/did not.

I'm going off the story that Ogie is saying about why Portnoy was demoted from the site he started. It's just interesting that a guy is taunting another group for poor decisions when as a condition of someone buying his company he had to be demoted in his role.

Deadspin was a great site that was ultimately taken down by a very stupid fight against Hulk Hogan and his backers and then they tried to save themselves and failed through a sale.

I mean Portnoy literally built nothing into $20 million so he can taunt anyone in media.
