    I don't go to Deadspin, and haven't for years, ever really. I don't know if A.J. Daulerio is still there, but I read an interview with him in which he described a plea for a father. The man's daughter was caught having sex on the floor of a bathroom in a bar, and there was video. The father knew Daulerio got his hands on it an begged him not to published it to the masses. "But I had to," Daulerio said, and I'm paraphrasing. What a Grade-A fucker. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. And Deadspin can fuck off, too.

    Pay is probably shit but the ability to work remote, and not have to live in New York City, might be intriguing.

    "Must be willing to destroy all chances of respectable future employment in exchange for a few clicks on our site, the former owner of which bailed on a precedent-setting legal case (and so, too, his employees) and the former editor of which is now cutting lawns in Florida because he's fucking broke."

    That seems untrue.

    It's an exaggeration, sure. But I know of quite a few instances where Deadspin kids have written something that cost them better employment.

    Must be a self-loathing shithead. Must believe that everything in the world sucks, even the things that don't.

    You could always use the place as your personal waystation, as Greg Howard did.
