Jack Dickey is leaving us for Sports Illustrated, the grown-up version of Sports Illustrated Kids. He'll also be writing weird things for Time.com. We'll miss Jack for reasons too numerous to address here, and if we were the sort of site to get gloppy and sentimental about departures, we'd link to s...
So Long, Emma
This is our pal Emma Carmichael's last day at Deadspin and Gawker Media. She's leaving us for a site that shall remain nameless for the moment. We're too drunk already to say anything more meaningful than, "Aw, fuck," so please watch this video and please join us in wishing her well. She's the very...
Keep an eye on this here page: thestacks.deadspin.com, a living archive of great journalism, curated by Bronx Banter's Alex Belth.

That's it for the week. The usual crew will get you through the weekend, and by Monday, with any luck, we'll be back in our old digs.

Discussion Discussion: Surrounded By Assholes
If you've read our previous Discussion Discussions, or the Comment Of The Fortnight-Ish columns before those, by now you're likely familiar with how they work: we artfully (we hope) and circuitously (uh, yeah) lay out an argument for how best to conduct oneself down there, and hopefully by the end y...
