Deadspin editor quits, blasts G/O management

I tried to listen to the Hang Up and Listen podcast with the former Deadspin people and it was just so self congratulatory. These people act as if they didn’t work in a for profit industry.

 

What Webster said. They really don't get it.
As Charlie Pierce put it: You are not the cosmos.
The Grantland crew grieved for a few days and moved on with their lives.

 

They pouted after Simmons left.

But a lot of pieces on Grantland were not well read. I mean, we know that; some had single digits in the social media shares. Wedding notices and Colson Whitehead on the Olympics, where he talks to a made-up character? Come on.

Grantland was comically hipster. Mahogany books on the shelve. They even had a quarterly, like it was A university literary journal. Quarterly west!

 

Magary wound up at Vice for the week at least.

What Is the Most Thrown Away Food?

Found the link at the Sons of Sam Horn thread about the site:

Deadspin is Burning

 

Defined lol

 

The martyrdom has jumped the shark.

 

Alma-
I was not a fan of Grantland either, but they were for the most part professionals who understood restructuring and 'tough corporate decisions.'
In that Irish wake it was never brought up that a trans person offed him/herself because of editorial decisions made at Grantland.
Shocking, in Sean Connery voice.

Somebody tell Magary and the rest it's dark, they can all come down from the cross.

 

This was my fave Grantland piece, btw.
Just so I'm on this thread praising something instead of criticizing it.
When the Bengals Were Good

 

Grantland was truly a great publication.

 

Iconic.

 

Except it was Jack Dickey who wrote the story with Timothy Burke.
