So there's that. Bill "If Hitler were alive I'm pretty sure he'd kill all bloggers" Conlin.

morestuff posted:And it's not like they've dramatically shifted their focus, either. It's a one-off article that a lot of people, especially people in their demo, care about. They do these kind of one-offs every now and then when something big pops up. Simmons has always emphasized the sport/culture combo; it's part of his schtick; this just stands out as one of the 10% of stories that isn't pop culture-oriented. And it's also a pretty drat good article by one of their better contributors who's present at a significant event.

Lockback posted:I want to know so bad what he means by "go public". Either he burns ESPN or himself and I love it either way. I think he meant that he would publicly call out whoever was giving him poo poo for his comments about Goodell. edit: another suspension disparity. someone on twitter pointed out that ESPN suspended Sean Salisbury for just a week after he got busted for indecent exposure. Evidenrly Simmons should have just whipped it out in front of Goodell. Redgrendel2001 fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Sep 25, 2014 |

Jay Carney posted:I work for the same corporate family as Simmons and our standards/corporate policy are written so arcanely that they could nail you for wiping your rear end the wrong way so I'm guessing this is the tip of the iceberg and Simmons went to war with his bosses behind the scenes and lost and this was used to partially justify the punishment. He's had an ongoing battle with them about "standards" for a long time, but I wonder how much of a role the NFL had in the suspension. Sidenote: The /r/NFL portion of a certain other website spent all of yesterday deleting any thread mention this story

El Gallinero Gros posted:In your defence, they both hosted the same late night show and are named Craig. The major difference of course, is that Ferguson is charming as gently caress, and Kilborn is the polar opposite. Dude lost his gig hosting the Daily Show to Jon Stewart by implying the Executive Producer of the show wanted to suck his cock Check out this interview from the LA Times, in which Kilborn agreed to be interviewed on the condition that he conduct the interview. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-ca-st-craig-kilborn-interview-20151115-story.html quote:As an 8-year-old my father and I would wear matching cardigans and watch "Firing Line" with the legendary William F. Buckley Jr. Ever since then I've preferred my politics from full-time intellectual pundits, not my fellow man, or worse, a misguided co-worker.

Crazy Ted posted:Wait how did we get from Sam Hinkle to date Rape? 'gently caress Deadspin', in my mind at least, came into being after reading that father's emails begging them to take down video footage of his overwhelmingly intoxicated daughter being nailed by a bunch of frat boys in a bar bathroom. The email correspondence in response from DS was what you would expect if you saw the Hogan testimony, personnel changes be damned. It's a bunch of toxic people who can't even troll properly, e.g. doubling down on Hinkie hate when it's irrational.
