It seems Deadspin is about to go guns blazing at ESPN re: sex rumors

Completely serious, we need to contact the book publicist and offer to have him on here. Just picture the moment when the cheery publicist calls him to say, 'We got another web interview, with all the sports journalists! Great exposure!'

 

No,

is how you go around spreading rumors.

 

Holy crap, DD. That was your best work in a long, long time. Hilarious. Clayton and Whitlock were among the highlights for me.

 

How much money does Daulerio make off the website?

 

Daulerio doesn't get paid per hit, although I'm sure views and all that are part of the overall pay structure.

Gawker Media owns Deadspin among several other websites. Gawker pays the salaries of the staff for each site. So for Deadspin, Daulerio is the editor, Dashiell Bennett and Tommy Craggs get paid as editor/writer, and I'm sure Drew Magary gets a kickback for his work there too.

The rest of the contributors might get a freelance rate, although I'm sure Will Leitch gets some sort of kickback since he was the creator through Gawker.

 

Denton's always been transparent about these things:

So, Sean Salisbury, for it is he, has added Daulerio as an individual to his defamation suit against Deadspin and Gawker.

Would any of this episode be admissable to help Salisbury in his case?

More heads role at ESPN.

And btw, while many of you here don't consider Katie Lacey to be a "public figure" she was very well known to anyone involved in sports marketing. She was one of the most prominent women in the business while at Pepsi and was on the Sports Business Journal's, 40 under 40 list in both 2000 and 2001.

Regardless, an out-in-the-open affair between two managers, the kind that probably happens at almost every office in America at some point, completely unknown to the general public was hardly the atom bomb that Deadspin was teasing.

 

Why was she "shown the door" immediately and he was just "stripped of all responsibility"? Were his actions less egregious? Or was her contract up now and his isn't up until later? Just wondering why they weren't given the same punishment at the same time.

 

Sounds to me like her contract was up and he's been stripped of all responsibilities until his is up, at which time he will be shown the door.
