Gawker article outs a private citizen

Sorry, but zero chance, Lugz. Tommy has an instinct for self sabotage greater than anyone I've ever encountered in this business. Everyone agrees he is as smart as anyone working, but he's also determined to blow up his world right when things get complicated. He would never allow himself to be rich. It would betray his entire ethos.

 

I suspect Britt McHenry's clock has almost run out. ESPN decided it wasn't a fireable offense, but that doesn't mean they'll renew her contract. "Hot and dumb" is really, really easy to replace. There's no shortage of it out there.

And I agree with DD -- Craggs has done what he can to make himself virtually unemployable.

 

Jesus, is there anything the people at Gawker don't parade in public? I'd fire her ass for that, bullshit.

 

Did she think Denton would not have gotten the reference to "Gawker" if she didn't call it "your blog Gawker"?

 

Hey, anyone who can cram extra relevant information into 140 characters has my respect.

 

Eh, he'll be fine with her after she grills him lunch.

 

Doing what he did against the judgment of legal counsel and against all good sense (never mind decency) shows a deficit in intelligent functioning.
What we learned again was that Gawker's/Deadspin's smartest guys in the room aren't very smart at all.

 

Maybe you guys are right, but the cynic in me sees Craggs taking a turn at Grantland or something like it within the next decade.

Yes I'm aware of the history.

People want edgy.

 

Holy shit, I thought that was a joke but I googled it just out of sheer curiosity and a little bit of insomnia and holy shit, it is real.
