Will Leitch Departs Deadspin to Join New York Magazine
2008-07-07 13:51:00 Will Leitch Leaving Deadspin to Join New York Magazine One of our first major linkers and now Facebook Friend Deadspin founder and editor Will Leich is leaving that online sports publication to join the New York Magazine as contributing editor. Good Luck Will, but you're not really leaving at all. Still, it seems that perhaps, like me, this whole political revolution thing has drawn you away from sports. Funny how that works

2008-05-15 01:01:00 Here is what Deadspin’s Purple Prose has to say about the Fish. For the record, here are some of the nicknames in the write up: The Marlins: Miami entrant in the Senior Circuit, Spearfish, Swinging Swimmers, Briny Ballers, Santiago’s Sluggers, Pelagics Marlins Fans: Ye Fans of the Fishes Marlins Bullpen: Sunshine State Pen Men Wayne Huizenga: Gaseous trashman Jeffrey Loria: ...

Book Review - ?God Save the Fan? by Will Leitch (Deadspin)
2008-04-17 02:11:00 The role of sports in our lives is more complex than just ?root root root for the home team’ and something to keep your eyes occupied whilst drinking beer. While preening print journalists may wish it so, this has little to do with steroids, the fact that athletes live far detached from the realities of our ...

Excellent Sports Posts
2008-02-22 16:25:00 There have been some terrific sports-realted posts recently that I wanted to share in case you have not read them:- The Pensblog created a mock trial between Ty Conklin and Marc-Andre Fleury. The winner gets to start for the remainder of the Pittsburgh Penguins' season. Erin Brockovich and Marty the Chicken serve as the attorneys with witnesses including Marc-Andre Fleury's former water bottle. - Deadspin's Will Leitch was online for a discussion at The Washington Post.- Kissing Suzy Kolber welcome back Tony Kornheiser to the radio. Enjoy!

Steelers-Jaguars Preview
2008-01-05 18:04:00 Welcome to Wild Card weekend! I am excited and nervous about tonight?s Steelers-Jaguars game, so I have been searching the web to see what the ?experts? think.The ESPN folks made the following predictions: Salisbury ? JaguarsHoge ? JaguarsJaworski ? JaguarsSchlereth ? JaguarsAllen ? JaguarsMortensen ? JaguarsGolic ? JaguarsWickersham ? Jaguars (who the heck is Wickersham?)In addition, Hank Goldberg picked the Jaguars on Sportscenter this morning and Bill Simmons chose the Jaguars in his column yesterday.Over at Deadspin, five of the seven picks went for the Jags:Cool Standings ? SteelersFootball Outsiders ? JaguarsMichael David Smith ? JaguarsBig Daddy Drew ? JaguarsDan Shanoff ? JaguarsAJ Daulerio ? JaguarsDeadspin ? SteelersCris Carter on Yahoo picked the Jaguars as did Peter King and Dr. Z (he?s probably as real of a doctor as McDreamy) at Sports Illustrated. On CBS Sports, Harmon, Prisco, Judge, Davis, Richard, and ?Spin? also selected the Jaguars to win.Based on my detailed st...

Redskins Preview on Deadspin
2007-08-24 22:09:00 One of the most highly-trafficked (and hilarious) sports blogs on the internet, so here's a link to Deadspin's NFL Season Preview for the Washington Redskins. It's probably worth a skim; however, one of the commenters does a much better job of expressing my perennial expectations for the team: BY UNSILENT MAJORITY AT 01:45 PM SUPER BOWL OR BUST WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Writing For Deadspin On Weekends Will Basically Rule
2007-07-10 08:30:00 I've experienced weekly deadlines and nightly deadlines. But semi-hourly deadlines? That's a new one. A couple weeks ago I was offered the opportunity that any sports blogger would accept in an instant, but for me there was a slight delay between when Deadspin.com's editor Will Leitch sent an e-mail asking if I wanted to be one of his new weekend editors, and when I received said e-mail. (Those not into the whole "sports" fad, Deadspin is perhaps the most trafficked sports blog in America, receiving over a million visitors each week, even though 100 of those are me hitting Refresh.) The gig, which is a paying one (oo-rah!), entails writing and compiling everything on the website for both Saturday and Sunday. Posts are about 200 words each, get published roughly every 30-45 minutes, are written and proofread entirely by me, and the crowd will be satisfied with about 10-12 posts per day. Basically a full day of writing. Since I neurotically comment on the site...
Big Week for Sean?s Ramblings
2007-06-30 16:33:00 Thanks to DC Blogs and Deadspin, there were more visits to this site in the past 2.5 days than there usually are in an entire month. On Thursday, DC Blogs linked to my bus story by writing ?Harry Potter book interrupted by the sight of finger nail cutting woman. Metro bus story at Sean?s Ramblings.? Technically, the nail cutting incident took place on a Fairfax Connector bus, but that?s irrelevant. On Friday, Deadspin linked to my recap of the Argentina-U.S. soccer match. As a comparison of how much Deadspin has grown, they linked to a post I wrote about Ben Roethlisberger attending a Penguins game in January 2006. On that day, I received 78 visits, a personal record at the time for most hits in a day. Yesterday, I received an incredible 848 visits, primarily from Deadspin readers. The total number of visits on Thursday through 10:30am on Saturday = 1036! So thanks again to DC Blogs and Deadspin, and if you have not already visited these sites, I hope that you do (often). H...

11 Foot Rims: Dunk Now, While You Can, White Man - Deadspin
2007-06-21 21:53:00 it would change the game too much, i am afraid...and i might be mistaken but it wasn't like they were already scoring a whole bunch in the cavs/spurs series. i think a better way to fix the league would be to speed up the playoffs (maybe two less teams from each conference) and maybe a playoff game more than once every week. oh and also, if they could make sure that mr. fundamental tim duncan never gets tv time again, that might help too. dude is boring as it gets.update: oh and also, they might want to make sure the eastern conference gets some teams in it that are actually good.

Thanks to the good people over at Deadspin, we hav...
2007-04-11 04:07:00 Thanks to the good people over at Deadspin, we have another tool of note segment to bring to your attention tonight. And for the first time, it is a member of the Boston Red Sox. Newly acquired relief pitcher JD Durbin is a tool. In fact, he might even be an archtool. Just look at the picture below, where he is rocking a cooler as a garment.The only good thing to say about him wearing a cooler as though it counted as clothing is that it nearly conceals the fact that he is also rocking a banana hammock. I think we all know that the odds of a dude who has rocked a banana hammock at any point in his life being cool (or even remotely well-adjusted) are not very good. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it would be impossible for a guy who had ever worn a banana hammock to be cool at any point thereafter if I didn't believe in miracles.There are those who might say the Sox acquired Durbin because they are in dire straits in the bullpen. Those who know a little about the business of b...
The End of the Steelers Camping Trip and DeadSpin ...
2006-12-02 15:38:08 The End of the Steelers Camping Trip and DeadSpin (literally)We're in the final couple of days of Steelers training camp in Latrobe, PA. St. Vincent's College will host it's final session of the 2006 training camp on Wednesday. Men's News Daily takes a minute to recap what makes a day at Pittsburgh's training camp so great.Yesterday, Deadspin covered the case of a woman who purchased tickets on e-bay for the September 7 game against the Miami Dolphins last November. This is a pre-Super Bowl victory, pre-2006 schedule ticket transaction made possible by the NFL's scheduling formula that let's you know who to expect where in what season. Well, let's just say the guy selling the tickets wasn't as lucky as the guy that had a heart attack after the terrible tackle -- although it's unclear as to whether rigor mortis set in before or after the XL victory. Makes StubHub's Fan Protect Guarantee seem totally worth it.**Buy and Sell Pittsburgh Steelers Tickets on StubHub**
