Details are still limited, though according to this report from Front Office Sports reporter Michael McCarthy (who termed it a leave of absence rather than a suspension) the entire saga was sparked when Carter had it out with his Fox Sports bosses over his lack of participation in the network’s NFL coverage:

Despite being listed as an “NFL analyst” on his network bio, Carter has been missing in action on Fox’s Thursday Night Football coverage, as well as on the network’s top-rated Fox NFL Sunday pregame show, with Terry Bradshaw, Jimmy Johnson, Michael Strahan, Howie Long and Curt Menefee.

Rumors have bubbling since Friday about an alleged blow-up between Carter and his bosses at FS1.

“I was told it was bad,” said one source.

Can it be worse than that piece of trash that TNT has dumped it all on to? Does anyone actually pay for that streaming service CBS has? I've never met a single person who has it, and I imagine that's where all the games are going to end up.

According to the article, 8 million people have CBS All Access. Also, according to the article, it looks like both CBS and CBS Sports Network will be showing games, so it's a 100% improvement on number of matches shown at once!

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

This is why the people who think sports rights are going down yet are probably not correct. CBS and NBC have dedicated sports networks in need of programming, ESPN and Fox probably wants to keep it away from them, and also pull stuff from each other.

Plus I imagine Sinclair wants to keep the stuff they just paid 10 billion for and maybe make a bid at getting back local some stuff from the cable-company-owned-networks.

Yes and their service is not really functional. Whatever streaming provider they have is garbage. Nearly every match is on this service.

So is Deadspin done as a viable sports blog? I'm not sure whats happening, but the headlines haven't been updated in days.
I think some writers left in protest of some management decision?

You might want to go read the sports journalism thread, but to answer your question, yes, it’s essentially dead. The entire staff quit, there is currently no one on staff to even write an article. They had some freelance guy write an article last week and he was instantly shamed into oblivion on Twitter.
