imagine being the kind of person that reacts that way to someone not liking a particular condiment. food takes are arguably worse than sports take imo.

even as a Certified Mayo Lover i'm totally fine with him hating on mayo and that's not really my beef - he does that hyperbole shtick well enough that i wholly enjoy it even when i'm not in agreement with him

it's the people that hear things like "oh i hate mayo" and get so hot about it that they feel the need to stan a goddamned condiment, for whatever reason

I appreciated the time that Gawker posted an anti-capitalist screed and the next article was the Kinja deals of the day.

So what's wrong with Haisley? I never read him because he seems to just write about soccer.

The real appeal has always been the fan submissions. He can't genuinely muster enough hate for like, the AFC South.

Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, because I feel like those fall into three categories - trying to sound too much like Drew, poo poo that didn't happen, or look at me, I'm also a piece of poo poo!

I hate that I feel this way as I used to count down the days for these...though I'm definitely still never going to an NFL game in person thanks to them.

I just saw that Nick Martin, formerly of Deadspin and currently of Splinter, is leaving for a new gig.

In the usual GMG roast post, there was a comment from Billy Haisley.

He's Deadspin's news editor now.

God help us all.
