Will the "A-Rod is The Clutchiest Clutch Guy in the History of Clutch" articles be more or less insufferable than the "A-Rod? More Like Smell-Rod, Come October" articles? #alexrodriguez
I laughed because I read the original columns these bits were patterned after (the one about the "Elders" was from a few days ago). I'm not sure what that says about me, but I think I'm one of about 3 people who read Deadspin and Peggy Noonan. And yeah, Peggy has been slowing turning into a space cadet for years, I think the process is now complete.

Well, I'm not exactly sure, but I'll give it a go from the perspective of a lowly unapproved commenter (who apparently can't even login correctly to his unapproved account):
They brought in guest editors who are willing to sacrifice humor and any sort of awareness of their audience in order to see who can make the most obscure literary and cultural references. In response, the comments devolve from among the most consistently entertaining on the internets to the same passive-aggressive bickering and name-calling found on other sports blogs, the kind of obnoxious comments that usually drive readers to this site as a reprieve.
The only thing better than the Gawker/Wonkette/Deadspin mashup is the commenters who show up to EVERY.SINGLE.POST. just to say how much they don't like it.
@Wock A. Wocka: I'm actually receiving a blowjob from Margaret Carlson this very moment. I feel more flush than Winston Churchill after the recital of the Fourteen Points.
Usually this type of writing is used to make a particular point about the subject matter or is, at the very least, an attempt at humor. Nice to see you don't get caught up in that short of thing.

In guest-edited Deadspin, funny laughs at you!

But why? Why do your editors actually want to hurt you all like this?

TRUE FACT: Moe and Alex Pareene are, in fact, satire-producing manatees.
