    They're so salty the site is back and not sticking to sports. They were disposable and replaceable. Welcome to the real world. Is the new Deadspin great? No. But the old one wasn't, either.

    You can't be a "disruptor" and anti-establishment and then bitch when your establishment gig is "disrupted."

    Lol Deadspinners ... had the world in their palms ... and now they're less than zero. You blink and it's gone.

    I note the irony that Sports Illustrated and its mortal enemy Deadspin both wind up zombies.

    Dead titles walking.

    Spanfeller and Heckman.

    Halfwit grave robbers from an unfunny slamming door comedy.

    I'm not calling the new Deadspinners scabs, but they're uniformly shitty. I stop by there probably once every other day; I've yet to read something I'd call good.

    What if I told you...

    new AND old Deadspin was shit?

    Tune in for my 30 for 30 as I examine this issue. Next week: Yes, Barstool also sucks.

    Remember when The Onion Union would have been satire you read about on The Onion?

    These fucking babies. Like Deadspin 1.0 wouldn't have made 100 tasteless domestic violence references in a story about a Greg Hardy fight. Grow the fuck up.

    Aye, this is the bozo prince who bought the Hall of Fame vote.

    Another low moment in Deadspin history.

    I completely forgot about that! What a chud.

    Our idea was to make a mockery and farce of the increasingly solemn and absurd election process, and to take some power from the duly appointed custodians of the game's history and turn it over to the public.

    Full story: Deadspin buys MLB Hall of Fame vote

    Pretty funny and ironic he went from that to slamming his rattle on the ground because someone isn't holding up the standards of the increasingly solemn and absurd website Deadspin was (in his mind).
