Deadspin still has some decent coverage from time to time but you really have to look for it and sort through all the advertising posts, shared posts from the other sites, and all the whining gawker 2.0 posts on concourse

I still really like Deadspin but yeah

I thought HamNo was supposed to be Gawker's fighting dude, I mean, if they were to have someone actually fight people.

It wasn't HamNo, looks like it was Ashley Feinberg

Considering he seems like one of the only three guests on Simmons' podcast this isn't surprising

On an unrelated note, this isn't surprising either

I want to think that it wasn't a case of his name just not being on the list, but there being the equivalent of a Polaroid with "DO NOT SERVE THIS MAN" in sharpie on it.

she's being a super good sport about it publically but I'm guessing she gets all sorts of gross poo poo sent to her that probably plays some role in marchman getting so mad

Much like Petchesky and occasionally Tom Ley, he's one of Gawker's go-to "get ridiculously self-righteous and indignant about something" guys. Petchesky in particular can take the littlest thing and turn it into a matter of life, death and moral outrage.

Woke cred.

(Also, I have a confession to make: I sincerely believe that Barstool has become better than Deadspin as of late, strictly because of their good hockey writer Jordie and Pardon My Take.)

Yeah Petchesky used to be pretty solid with his hockey coverage and things but he's gotten really insufferable lately.

People tweet too much. I get that it's part of his job to maintain an online presence but telling your side of the story through a series of tweets is very very dumb. Like you could write a longer blog post, or release a statement, or what not.

I'm positive I know how this happened. When I was in grade 11 my english teacher kept on telling me that I wasn't using commas properly. So instead of learning I ended up just putting secondary clauses/ideas in parentheses. It wasn't till grad school that I realized how stupid this was (sometimes I still do it because my brain has been further corrupted by reading Simmons; I mean it was that or not reading him, gun to my head who would say no)
