Deadspin
As some of you might have noticed, the design looks a wee bit different around here today; we're doing some tweaking, some minor "redesigning," if you will, and we think it looks quite nice.
There aren't any major changes, because we do not want to blow your minds with any concept other than FREEDOM. The main thing: We're introducing the Deadspin Widescreen. It is named such because it's like regular Deadspin, except the screen is wider. (Lo!) We'll be running larger photos — like with Freddie Mitchell down below, or with the most handsome Cleveland Senior since Drew Carey's dad, seen here in all his HD glory — and you'll find that our headlines are somehow even more wordy now.
So, we hope you like it. As with any redesign, there's always the potential for some nasty bugs in the system or certain matters that don't work on certain browsers — the size of the photo, in many cases, will depend on the size of your monitor — so if something's not working right, or you're getting a blank page, please email us and let us know.
The reason we did this, by the way: We've been having the darndest time fitting Berman's head on a single page.

Does this Deadspin Widescreen make me look fat?
When's Deadspin going to be available in HD?
After Thanksgiving, we all look a little wider.
yeah.
because that blonde dude in the middle wasn't hideous enough looking in the old format
I really hate USC. But Widescreen's nice. Go me.
(can you tell I realllllly wanted a day off again today?)
Now my work computer can be even slower!
Hurrah!
It's going to take some time to get used to the ads on the other side. Kind of like how I could only sit in the same area in class, because if I sat somewhere else, I was distracted by the different view. (Yes, I drank a lot in college and law school, why do you ask?)
What's the correct aspect ratio for Berman's head? 555:3?
Big gums...small yellow teeth...red lipstick...AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
More like 666:1.
I totally don't know what this is, but I want it.
The right side of my screen is lonely now.
looks good. But for people with the super slow mo connections, when the comments get into a couple hundred, they will have to send smoke signals.
Ah, the unrated widescreen collector's edition. Yours to own this holiday season!
Oh, sure, it's all fun and games until you see Mariotti in 16:9. Hide the women/children!
Does every post really need 30-200 subtitles?
So can we get the links to open in a new window now?
Pounding the living f*ck out of that lady on "Black Friday" at Wal*Mart was TOTALLY worth it to get this 50-inch monitor on which I am now enjoying (sic) Carl Monday's melon in all f its two-and-a-half-life-sized glory.
Thanks, DeadSpin!
I WONDER WHAT A CHEEZ DOODLE SOUNDS LIKE IN 5.1 SURROUND
wow a Carl Monday and Barbaro picture!
Did anyone see the NFL Countdown piece on Holly Mangold, it said she was 5'9" and over 3 bills. It mentioned her power-lifting squat record (but no mention of her feelings towards black men.)
"Deadspin Widescreen" sounds like a play call from Mike Holmgren.
curse "black friday", btw...how were we supposed to know that Paramus doesn't let stores open until 7:00am....
This was done to fit Weis on the screen, huh?
Critic, he still may not fit
DonGerard, pounding the living f*ck out of a lady usually gets you a thank you in return.
After that picture, I assume that Deadspin immediately regrets this revision.
I for one welcome our new aspect-ratio abusing overlords.
Have you ever experienced Deadspin Widescreen ON WEED?
i see we have abandoned the "nightmare fuel" tag huh?
I love this photo. Especially the picture in the picture (look middle-right...that's right, he's flipping you off)
for the last 2 days I've been so tempted to put my flatscreen TV on the bathroom wall.
the pisser of the future, today.
I do have to agree with Metschick. It will take a little time to get used to but It actually works nice with my widescreen laptop so no complaints from me.
I'm confused. The stuff that was on the right is now on the left. After 4 days of power-napping in a row, this is not the welcome back to work that I needed.
Make it stop. All change is bad.
I've got vertigo.
How about some HD pics of the curling sisters
It would sound better in Dublin.
BTDog:
... or he's showing off his fisting skills
What, no comments on Jemele Hill's How to be a Groupie piece? Or is that an old column that I'm just now reading?
I hate Mondays.
It's the mirrors.
Much better than the Pan and Scan Deadspin.
It actually works nice with my widescreen laptop so no complaints from me.
Hmm, I have a widescreen laptop, so it'll probably look better there. It has to look better than how it looks on the monitor I use at work.
5/5 Christmas Ape
Not to derail the thrilling debate about ad placement, but has anyone else read Jemele Hill's groupie opus today?
She is who we thought she is!
There are black bars at the top and bottom of my browser! GAHHHHH!!!!
Bobby Bowden resents the EBay going widescreen.
Drew, relax, relax man. You're just squinting.
This new layout is fucking bullshit.
Wait. I was just getting used to Technology. Now it's changing?
just so you know, WEEI has congratulated "The Internet" for exposing Mike Irvin's "genetics lecture". Another victory for the Underground
Seriously, whatever the WWL is paying Ms. Hill, it's way too much.
Eric Mangini is also fat.
Those are some CHOMPERS
When is the release of Blu-Ray Deadspin?
wow, has everyone else seen the picture in the background of the guy giving the ol "up yours" gesture?
This widespin is paying off already.
Just think, millions and millions of tiny, digital Neds are hopping into the fray to make our Deadspin experience that much more enjoyable.
Anyone else see the irony* in Carl Monday having a daughter so unattractive she is impossible to masturbate to?
(*not true irony but Alanis Morissette type irony)
Deadspin HD is like Sony's Bravia...great for guys and the ladies that service them sexually
