A List Of Suggested Public Editors For Deadspin
credits: K. Webb/Hulton Archive | source: Getty Images Deadspin is currently in the process of reporting a story on its owners, an exercise that we’ve done in the past to varying degrees. In a total coincidence, the folks in charge have started pushing for a “public editor” to ensure that all future articles that may include reporting on ourselves would be “objective.” One of those folks even sent a 5,000-word email to the entire company to get ahead of his own site’s story. Thanks for pissing on our scoop, man.
In the interest of reaching a compromise, even though the flop-sweaty maneuver infringes upon the editorial independence guaranteed in the collective bargaining agreement negotiated by our wonderful union, Deadspin has agreed to allow a public editor to look at this story—provided it is one of the following candidates and no one else:
Laura Wagner
Moritz Wagner
Jim Tomsula
Nathan Peterman
Lennay Kekua
Mack Scocca-Ho
Our uncle who works at Nintendo
Ned
Cryptkeeper Al Davis
Margaret Sullivan or someone
Not Kevin Draper
One of the Deadspin children, selected at random
One of Deadspin’s evolution-defying pugs, selected at random
One of Deadspin’s many Canadian girlfriends, selected at random
Katharine Graham (Diana’s cat, not that dead lady)
The giant Jon Gruden bobblehead we still have in our office for some reason
Fuck it, Jon Gruden
Ben, our loyal tipster
Ben, our other loyal tipster
Those other loyal tipsters—you know who you are
The reader named “George Gun” who once emailed us “VIETNAM MOTHERFUCKERS” and nothing else
One of the commenters in the greys who brag about how much money they’ve made working from home
Spim Janfeller ... wait a minute, that mustache comes right off! How’d he get in here?!
