I actually look forward to the SSW each week just to read the comments. This is the best part of the site as far as I'm concerned.

@Dr. Michael Mancini: Far be it from me to defend the SSW, but the Hentrich thing was supposed to be a jab at Romo, I think.

Then again, who the hell knows anymore.

I'm beginning to wonder if this isn't just Will's way of letting us all vent. I mean, if we get all our hate out over Shit-Sandwich-Weintraub here, maybe we won't fight with Supermi... uhh... "amongst ourselves" as much in other posts.

...or maybe he just has Will's parents locked in his basement.

Previous SSW:
What is with all the Barbaro posts?

New SSW:
Why isn't this about Barbaro

But Wait:
I want to control content on this blog I really have no say over.

I'm just happy I found out what SSW meant, and that I'm not alone in hating if. Now if I could just figure out the codes for bold and eye-talic.

Weintraub has something on Leitch.

New SSW:

Weintraub has something on Denton. Can you post this shit on Jezebel?

But Wait:

Way to steal ideas from KSK.

"Slate writer Robert Weintraub has been tinkering with a concept called The SSW."

I think it is safe to assume that the only tinkering that will save this mess comes from a revolver.

@StuScott Booyahs: Exactly - what's the point of posting a regular feature that clearly 95% of your readers hate, rip, ridicule, etc?

How about this, Deadspin...if we all stop reading it, or commenting on it, will you stop posting it?

If so - let's all stop reading it. It's the shit sandwich in the middle of a week full of Reubens.

Mmm...Reubens...

Wow, the Deadspin editorial board is reduced to making "If you don't like it, don't read it" arguments.

Maybe they're getting tired of Weintraub making drunken, teary phone calls to them.

Wow, Weintraub sure is persistant. Most people would have walked away with their head down after getting ripped week after week, but he keeps showing up.

He's kind of like a poor man's Rex Grossman.

I'd rather read actual Sean Salisbury wisdom...

Seriously - If any of the blogging commenters were producing this shlock, they wouldn't even make The Blogdome, let alone get a regular feature.

Then again, we don't have "Slate writer" next to our names.

Is calling Bironas "Craig Hentrich" a comment on Sean Salisbury types' disrespect for kickers, or did Weintraub just get this massively wrong?
