Very fair point, but an author often gets a LOT more leeway to overrule their editor after they're an established bestseller. Maybe success turned him into a horrible blowhard, or maybe he's always been a horrible blowhard but FNL's publisher was able to strip most of the hard blowing out of it (  )

On the field, it’s been a tough slog for Hilinski all season long.

The State is barely a newspaper anymore, every time I’m back home I see all kinds of mistakes pop up in their rare non-AP articles Still, a weirdly large segment of Gamecocks fans is going full conspiracy theory and suggesting this was somehow intentional

Ray Ratto is goodquote:But it does invoke the Third Law of The Garage: You have only so much space. For everything you get in life, you have to take something to the dump, or the consignment store, or the front lawn with a sign that reads, “Free.” In exchange for a parade in 2016 that everyone not a White Sox fan loved and will cherish for eternity, Cubs fans lost the ability to fully appreciate and process the tracheotomy of 2019.

jesus christ i know they're not swimming in money but I find it exceptionally hard to believe gawker can't hire an editor to be assigned solely to billy loving haisley what the gently caress is this rambling rear end opening sentence quote:It’s more than a little ironic that the definitive proof that the Premier League truly is as comprehensively and inarguably supreme as its fanboys have long contended it to be has come in the exact form many of those same fanboys shitted on Spain for back when La Liga was top dog. what the gently caress is this rambling rear end sentence quote:One of the core concepts used to support this belief—and maybe the most important one, as it sought to preempt the strongest point of evidence for the contrary position: the inarguable supremacy of Barcelona and Real Madrid—was the idea that, unlike in Spain where the Big Two effortlessly piled mountains of goals and points onto their wildly overmatched opponents, England was too competitive, too proud, too fierce, too good to allow any one or two teams to so thoroughly dominate the league. why the gently caress is he still employed

at this point we have to assume he's kept on as some sort of inside joke by the editors to gently caress with the other writers. holy poo poo that's a bad sentence though.

Haisley is now the news editor of Deadspin, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's acting managing editor now that Greenwell left for Wired. and of course, as he's the kind of person who insists on using the ç when talking about Barcelona, he'd be champing at the bit to write that sort of article.

What makes his writing so frustrating is that he's often exploring very basic concepts. If he was writing about something complex you'd expect some painstaking writing. But a simple point like "the stuff EPL fans once complained about is now happening to them " is not an idea that requires such convoluted writing. He might be the worst writer I consistently come across in terms of people who actually get paid to do this. He consistently sacrifices basic clarity for a "style" that is unappealing and unnecessarily dense. BWV fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Sep 23, 2019 |
