    It's a shame you guys don't get pageview bonuses anymore. I always enjoy posts that show how the sausage is being made, so to speak. I've been going back to this post all day. #announcements

    I'm going to be seriously disappointed if this book doesn't have a blurb on the back from David Stern saying, "I thoroughly enjoyed reading parts of this on Deadspin." #bookexcerpts

    Dear Chris: I've never heard of you but I'm sure you're very good at what you do. Since you're making your living off the NBA, can you confirm that everything Tim Donaghy wrote is probably true? Thanks in advance for your candor! #bookexcerpts

    For those of you who have been reading this site for less than 3 weeks, do we HAVE to remind you sanctimonious assholes that Nick Denton -- you know who he is, right? -- expressly stated that he wanted his properties to take more of a TMZ style approach: break news first, fix it later.

    You may not like it, but if you are unaware of the mission of this site (as expressed by its publisher) then I suggest you keep it the fuck down. #announcements

    @Clarence Rosario: I actually could give two loose shits what Nick Denton wants his site to be. I'm interested in what *I* want it to be, and also what it once was. It's possible to be aware of the new mission statement and still not be super happy about it. But you've got your marching orders, so keep marching, soldier. #announcements

    @Karlifornia: The sports news that is reported is still accompanied by snark and sometimes genuine opinion. But the live blogs, Blogdomes, and other features that fostered a tight community have been replaced with rumor-mongering, unsolicited attacks, and attempts at generating controversy for page views. Pull your head out of the Kool-Aid and open your eyes. You've been around for too long not to notice, man. #announcements

    @toolcity: I appreciate your thoughtful response, but...bullshit. Show me one shred of "journalistic integrity" that came with the "You're with me, Leather" story. That sounds like unsolicited rumor-mongering for the sake of page view to me. There were many more like it at the time.

    Like David Byrne said "Same as it ever was".

    I'm absolutely dumbfounded by the people that still think Leitch ran this thing like it was the god damned New York Times when he was the editor. Daulerio has much less of an "aw shucks" attitude, so he seems like a dick to some people. I love them both like fathers that I'll never meet, but this whole Leitch martyrdom reeks of 1st generation "The internet was better in my day" dinosaurdom. #announcements

    @Karlifornia: I realize Deadspin has never been about journalistic integrity. I started reading this site because it was sports news presented in an entertaining format. YWML is a fabulous example, and you make a great point. My argument was that it has become less about the community, the hardcore DUAN! chatters, the live blogs, blog features, etc. YWML took off like wildfire because it was an inside joke/meme from a smaller readership that penetrated the mainstream. At the time, it was a one-of-a-kind item for Deadspin.

    I'm note even trying to argue if its become better or worse, just that it's changed. I enjoyed the Leitch era, but I continue to enjoy Deadspin daily. I'm one of the few in the middle on this, and pragmatic enough to know I shouldn't feel some sense of entitlement to a blog I've been reading for 4 years. #announcements

    If you're going to run things differently than the MSM, then when things go wrong the reparations should be different as well. This asshole took advantage of the "one-sided" nature of some Deadspin reporting, so let's take advantage of him. Why don't you out this asshole and let the community handle him properly? #announcements
