I still read deadspin a lot, but yeah, it's gone down. It's always been more entertainment than actual news, but the balance definitely has gone much more TMZ-ish lately. I don't particular care since I really don't go there expecting hard hitting poo poo. Magary makes me laugh like hell though. For good journalists, I used to like Adrian Wojnarowski when he did general columns for The Bergen Record. He actually came and spoke with my class for a couple of hours. Very cool dude. Don't really read him as much on yahoo because I don't care for basketball too much.

This is on the ugly side of things: Plagiarism! Long story short: Pension Plan Puppets, which SAS poster Chemmy contributes to, translated a quote in a foreign hockey magazine about a Maple Leafs player. The Toronto Sun picked up these translations almost verbatim (see last link) and attributed it to the original source instead of the blog. Check for yourself. The Sun's ripoff: http://www.torontosun.com/sports/hockey/2010/08/19/15081386.html PPP's: http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2010/8/18/1628909/frantisek-kaberle-sr-i-dont The aftermath: http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2010/8/20/1633273/if-imitation-is-the-most-sincere#storyjump http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2010/8/20/1633616/the-toronto-sun-classy#44832286 A handy little graph to illustrate just how blatant it was: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=18oNfUJkMSymWyuaxVzkGEIvhSBIPSiQoKGs3XPFLkgM

Jason Whitlock is in the midst of a live radio meltdown about how he is quitting/getting fired/who the gently caress knows. http://player.streamtheworld.com/_players/entercom/player/?id=KCSP

From what I've heard he basically spent the first hour ripping everyone in the area media and accused his editor of screwing her way into her position. I hope Fox fires his rear end for being completely unprofessional about everything.

Today on PTI Dan Lebetard mentioned a profile on Roger Clemens(I think he said it was by Pat Jordan?) where Roger apparently yelled to hod "don't gently caress with me" or something along those lines. Does anyone know where I can find this article?

Elsewhere, here's a selection from noted sports journalist Bill Simmons latest mega-column: quote:Aniston's life resonates with that demographic better than anyone. Now she's 41, still hunting for a man, her ovaries rumbling like Earl Campbell, but we're all a little confused because … I mean, how could Jennifer Aniston, of all people, not find a man? I know he's low-hanging fruit, but even for Simmons this is pretty egregious.

I found it! I found it! The worst article ever. Paul Daugherty thinks replay at the Little League World Series is a sin because it's denying the kids a chance to deal with it like a man when an umpire who may or may not admit his mistake crushes the hopes and dreams of a 10 year old with a bad call. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/paul_daugherty/08/19/ll.replay/index.html?eref=sihp

From that article: "If a mistake at work gets you fired, do you scream for a do-over?" If I got fired because of a mistake that could have been easily corrected by watching 5 seconds of video (or something else requiring minimal effort and existing technology), you better believe I would be screaming for a goddamn do-over.

This idiot gets it completely wrong. The correct analogy is "If somebody else makes a mistake which gets you fired, do you scream for a do-over?" and 90% of people would answer "Hell yes."

Man, you know your sports journalism sucks when your own newspaper is accusing it's team of taking steroids. Damien Cox is basically saying "Bautista is hitting dingers, bet he's on steroids!" http://thestar.blogs.com/thespin/2010/08/gotta-at-least-ask-the-question.html quote:The Blue Jays, we know, have quietly become known as a bit of a nest for alleged steroid abusers over the years. Clemens played here. Gregg Zaun has been implicated. Ditto for Troy Glaus.

That article also has the best comment ever "The list starts at Jose Bautista. I think you can add Aaron Hill as well. The guy has a 200 batting average yet has almost 20 home runs? A bit suspicious to me."

I love the rationalization of people who point the steroids finger. Literally ANY type of season where a player hits for power can be construed as due to steroids.

Citoball isn't swinging at pitches as hard as you possibly can and take no pitches, it's Cito Gastion in a back room injecting steroids into his players' rear end. The gig is up, which is why he's retiring at the end of the season.

Damien Cox is a notorious shithead, he mostly writes about hockey and tennis. He really does just openly troll his readers, has been known to turn about face on his own opinions week to week, and it's best to just treat his bullshit as background noise.

I have a downgoesbrown.com NHL suspension flowchart pinned to my cubicle wall that includes "Did Damien Cox turn it into an anti-fighting Column anyways?", so yeah pretty much par for the course from him.

Just my opinion, but Deadspin has gone from a fairly entertaining and refreshing sports blog when Leitch was EIC to a hateful, snarky TMZ/Gawker hybrid that's almost unreadable at this point beyond Drew Magery. If they've gotten rid of Dashiell Bennett, that's at least a step in the right direction.
