Imagine all the steps that led up to that post:
- Thinking you had to prioritize your Twitter clout while vacationing (alone)
- Arranging, paying for, and driving to a self-imposed punishment to heighten stakes in a contest no one cares about
- Posing shirtless and showing off your dad bod on the Internet
- Writing multiple drafts about how this complete waste of time and money while believing this is a good way to advance a career
- Not realizing said career has no merit and that you're not just a parasite, you're a parasite on other parasites
- Beliving on some level that there's an organized movement against you because you have such low self-awareness that you can't tell the difference between hate and pity

This prompted a bunch of other recent ex-Ringer writers to chime in that Bill unfollowed them once they got involved with the union drive. What a strange petty man

I was trying to find an old hockey story and came across this blisteringly stupid take on the bertuzzi-moore incident:

https://www.straight.com/blogra/310796/steve-moore-didnt-deserve-dime-todd-bertuzzi-hit

Came across another article written this summer that says it wasn't bertuzzi's fault, and that the incident put a stop to his career. Sure he had pressure to do something, but he played for another decade

That article is full of steaming-hot takes. I'm honestly shocked it was written in 2014, it sounds like something from the 60's.

Don't really want to give deadspin the clicks, and I'm a little disappointed all 10 won't be the massive collapse of deadspin posts.

I guess I accidentally deleted "issues" while I was pasting in the tweet. Ziller wrote for the Sacramento Kings site for a long time and had been agitating on behalf of the writers for the last few weeks. No idea if that led to the split but wouldn't be surprised.
