Will Leitch Sucks
The Will Leitch Roast: Director's Cut
DIDJA HEAR? Deadspin emo honcho Will Leitch left at the end of this past week (actually, I'm not so sure - he's sent more links to me this weekend than Daulerio has. YOU NEED TO LET GO, BUDDY!). A few of the roasts submitted got left on the cutting room floor for whatever reason and since these folks went to the effort to send-up his worship, Iwas coercedfelt the need to post them before Will passes Tim Russert in the number of recent tributes. Anyway, here are the roasts from Dan Shanoff, 289, Matt Pitzer, Arkansas Fred and Greg Wyshynski. More » -

Part XI: Deadspin Hall Of Fame Inductee...Will Leitch
Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? I’d like to thank ALL of our roasters for their contributions to today’s festivities. I can’t think of a better send-off for our man. I’d also like to thank the always brilliant Jim Cooke for designing the above plaque, at last granting Will Leitch permanent immortality here on this very site. Now and forevermore. Until this post gets buried by the next one. Good thing we bypassed the voting process, because there’s no way he would have gotten 75% of the vote.We’ve given Leitch plenty of skewering here today. But, as you can tell, we kid because we love. Leitch, you have not only helped revolutionize the way sports are covered in this day and age, you also helped redefine what it means to be a sports fan. Three years ago, being a sports fan meant you had to be a know-it-all, armchair coaching dipshit. You’ve helped destroy all that self-seriousness. You’ve helped make sports fun again. I cannot think of a better legacy to leave. And to accomplish it all while being just about the nicest person around is a minor miracle. I think I speak for us all when I say, from the bottom of my heart: Thank you. Thank you very, very much.
So here’s to you, Will Leitch. May your new career bring you much newfound wealth and prosperity. We’ll miss you terribly after tomorrow, especially once Denton manages to ruin this site for good. Adios, good friend. Don’t be a stranger.
And now I ask that you all join me in raising your glass, whatever may be in it, and saying with me:
CHEERS, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD.
Daulerio: And, honestly, you all must come back tomorrow. Mr. Leitch also his share of surprise posts — ones that will bring his editorship at Deadspin to its logical, fitting conclusion...

Part VI: Every Day Should Be Saturday
We all know Ron Zook pisses intensity, whereas Leitch piss is 30% meekness and 70% deference. Thankfully, the Illinois head coach took time out to send a message to Will through our good friend SPENCER HALL. More » -

Part IV: Featuring America's Favorite Sports Fella...Bill Simmons
Part 4 of our celebration of all things Leitch begins with a very, very special guest. He just got finished celebrating the Celtics’ 17th world title. I can’t wait to see it mentioned 83 times in one of his NFL columns 30 years from now. It’s Bill Simmons. It really is. More » -

Part III: The Will Leitch Live Blog
One of the most flattering compliments I've received in these, the blog days of my youth, has been from William F. Leitch regarding my live blogs, notably the Super Bowl XLII one. It's made me want to do more, but unfortunately all there is to lively blog these days is baseball, which can get rather redundant. To boot, he's leaving us for greener pastures, particularly one with ink and barcodes and inserts that if you just drop in the mailbox without filling it out the pasture still has to pay for the postage.

Will Leitch has had the pleasure of editing me for two years, which may be the longest relationship he's had in his life. I wish I could tell you it was a joy to edit him but he was the most high-maintenance, prima-donnish, whiny bitch I've ever come across in my long and glorious publishing career and that includes Shannon Doherty, Jenna Jameson, and Skip Bayless.
