Must Acknowledge Advertisers ... Must Acknowledge Advertisers ...
We thank our advertisers for their "support" and hope they don't mind that we're too poor to buy their products. If you want to be a part of this little parade of paddy-cake, go here, we're told....
Some End Of Year Comment Invites Available
We're about to shut it down for 2005 — we're doing a half day tomorrow and will be off until January 3 — so we wanted to encourage anyone without a comment invitation to state your case to [email protected] to join the party in 2006....
Happy Holidays From Deadspin (And Clinton Portis)
We here at Deadspin would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a most pleasant holiday season. We'll be back Tuesday morning, but until then, Clinton Portis and all sides of his fragmented personality would like to say hello. So, hello. Tell your family we said hey....

We're just about done with these, promise....
More Shameless T-Shirt Shilling
If you haven't bought your Free Darko T-shirt yet — ours just arrived in the mail today, and it's sure to cause confusion for everyone we run into at the gym — the benevolent overlords here at Gawker Media would like us to once again encourage you to check out the Gawker Shop store, where you can ge...
Get Your Comment Invites Here!
Honestly, one of our favorite parts of doing this job is checking out the comments: We are proud to say that we have the smartest, most thoughtful and hilarious commenters on this little sports corner of the Interweb, and we thank you for it. And yes, we're kissing your ass....
Introducing Deadspin Weekends!
One of the most common complaints we hear about our beloved site here — other than "nice hair, you dope" — is that we do not update on weekends when, you know, all kinds of sports tend to happen then. Well, we've heard your fierce missives, and let it be known that your plaintive wails were not in...
Introducing The Consumerist
We are most proud to introduce you to Gawker Media's newest assault on your synapses: The Consumerist, the 14th Gawker Media site (we used to be the 14th site around here, but then Oddjack went away, and now we're unlucky No. 13. Great). The Consumerist, helmed by the mucho-capable Joel Johnson, w...
Buy A Bathroom T-Shirt (Cheerleaders Sold Separately)
If you're still shopping around for holiday presents — and have already bought books that just might change your life — our parental units at Gawker Media have asked us to direct your attention to their Gawker Shop, where you can buy T-shirts with all kinds of goofy logos (none for Deadspin yet, ala...
Forgive Us Our Indulgence
So forgive us here, but our publisher would murder us if we didn't mention it to you: We have a book. It's called Catch, it's a novel and it comes out this Thursday. It's about a high school baseball player, so, you know, we've got a sports peg....
Happy Thanksgiving, Fellow Consumers!
Well, we're checking out early here today, because it's the day before Thanksgiving, and if we don't get out of here now, we're going to end up spending Turkey Day trapped in this dead, lonely, Alanis Morissette-spewing surburban Starbucks, the only place we can find around here with wireless acce...
Bring Us Your Tired And Your Poor
Our bean-counting corporate overlords at Gawker Media have asked us to direct you to one of those reader survey things, where you click on little numbers of demographic information that tell us what kind ... you know, honestly, we don't really understand what this survey is for, and that's kind of...
If You Can Read This, We're Working.
Your eyes are not fooling you; for some strange reason this morning, the headlines on all of our stories are not showing up. We're writing them, we're posting them, they're just not making it to the site. We assure you, however, they are absolutely brilliant....
Become A Deadspin Commenter!
Thanks to those great Panthers cheerleaders and, of course, GENERAL EXCELLENCE, we've had a few new people roaming around these parts of late. Welcome. We love you. Let's hug....

Worry Not, Commenters!
Anybody registered folks having trouble making comments on the site, you're not going crazy: We're having some tech issues with comments right now. We're working on it, and we promise they will be back up soon. By the way, if you're not a registered Deadspin commenter, drop us an email at tips@dea...
Comment Invites Are Coming, Worry Not!
Brief note from the home office: If you haven't received your comment invites yet and are offended, don't worry, they're on their way. We just ran low. We make Oddjack swelter in tiny hallway by the boiler room, slaving over a hot stove to produce these invites for you, so he's grinding away on pr...
Announcement: Deadspin Comments Are Here. Behave!
Well, you can't yell at us about this anymore (or maybe now you can!): We at Deadspin proudly present Deadspin Comments, on all posts starting, like, now. Like the other sites in our sadistic Gawker family, all commenters require an invitation, lest the whole enterprise turn into an angry Minnesot...
