We all know print journalism is dead, but one of the old lessons of reporting is "never put on paper something you wouldn't want published." I am not so sure there has ever been a "news organization" that ignored that lesson more agressively than deadspin.com. On today's front page:
5. Is Pete Carroll trapped up there? someone help him down - Patrick Redford
No Patrick, I'm quite sure he just climbed up there using a bench or something, grow up
4. Oh god, the AFC South is so bad, the Jaguars could win the division - Patrick Redford
Do the faux-hipsters at deadspin even watch the NFL anymore? The upstart JAGS are real, and they're spectacular. Wouldn't be suprised to see them knock off those cheaters from NE in the semis
3. Blunder reveals Washington NFL team runs supposed fan account supporting "Redskins" nickname - Patrick Redford
Oh yeah, the Washington NFL team, what was their name again? I like to think everyone who writes for deadspin is a denver broncos fan so they never have to get off their high horse(editor's note: come back to this, bonus marijuana pun)
2. BSOD - Timothy Burke
What the fuck does BSOD mean?
1. William Gay Flagged for Extra-excessive celebration - Timothy Burke
a. That "extra" is redundant, b. you did a blog post gleefully celebrating a penalty flag, c. i've said it before and i'll say it again, when you can't even keep your blogging character straight long enough to have a consistent take on Pittsburgh Steelers TD celebrations ONE WEEK apart, you're probably in the wrong profession: http://downtownemilbrown.blogspot.com/2015/12/timothy-burk-flagged-for-excessive.html
Honorable Mention: Robert Nkemdiche Falls out of 4th story window - Patrick Redford
It was actually a 1st story window; serve's me right for getting my news from a tabloid.
That patrick redford is going places..
