Deadspin: Is an ESPN columnist scamming people on the Internet?

At least we know @notbillwalton isn't Sarah, and he also says she just acquired Wonka a few days ago, although who the hell knows who was writing it before that. At this point do we know for sure Hoppes himself isn't a creation of Sarah?

 

With Tahoe only 15 minutes away ...

 

Wow.

Pretty strong work from Deadspin.

 

I think I see where you're going with this...

 

Has more work ever been expended on a story to less purpose?

 

If Sarah Phillips is not signed up here and posting by lunch I'm quitting the board in shame.

 

I'm going to guess yes.

 

It happens on Grantland every day.

 

Maybe there is a logical explanation to all this. Like maybe it's a Mrs. Doubtfire situation and "Sarah Phillips" just wanted to be closer to her kids. And steal Twitter accounts to win their love.

 

This is really a story about a kid with the classic American dream: starting a successful NBA memes page on Facebook. And just like in all great stories that dream was stolen by a former Covers.com columnist.

 

I think she's been Twittering with Kenny Tran since 4 a.m. about lucrative new branding and marketing ideas for SportsJournalists.com related to Bubbler's live blogs of the 1980s, 21's Crossed Giblets of Deaths, and all things Ace.

 

Now with high school yearbook pictures! Seriously, I don't really know why I care about this story.
