Deadspin acts like professionals after being scooped
Or, you know, the complete opposite of that. I don't expect a lot from a sports blog. I think they're all stupid, hence the name of this speck of dirt in the galaxy of sports blogs. Unless you're the proprietor of a sports blog that uses the format as a way of getting his or her reporting out ...

The Grand National Championships — ... under the Gawker aegis. Now, if you're here for some other reason? Let me explain why this is important. This is Steve Phillips seen with production assistant Brooke Hundley. And it seems as if he was engaging in the strange with Miss Hundley. And while the vagaries and the mishagoes of this affair have been well hewn? Here is the important fact to the tale I'm trying to tell. The editor of Deadspin had it first. And he sat on it.

Deadspin Embarrasses Itself With ESPN Posts
The Sporting Blog — ... Instead, this became about trashing ESPN because their PR folks wouldn't confirm a rumor. It isn't an appropriate reason to empty out your e-mail inbox with everything you've ever been told about ESPN. For the good of sports blogs who strive to have a relevant voice that will be taken seriously, it's the kind of thing that should be roundly renounced, and that's the point of this post. (Other thoughts -- with some NSFW language -- from Brian Cook, Dan Levy and Stupid Sports Blog.)

Deadspin's Raging Sense of Entitlement--With Deleted Scenes!
Moderately Cerebral Bias — ... the story as if this was just a random event--that the real Deadspin was nice, cuddly, and gave out piggyback rides to small children. Hey small bloggers--it's 2009! You don't have to kiss up to big blogs anymore! I suppose they missed the memo that Deadspin will be doing more original reporting now, so bye-bye to your links.

The Sports Media Title Fight: Deadspin vs. ESPN
The Phoenix Pub — ... This blog goes after Deadspin’s “professionalism” after being scooped by the New York Post over the Steve Phillips revelation.  It was a little known fact that Daulerio had been sitting on the Steve Phillips story since September, but he would not use the story.  Of course, I’m going to say this, and do not groan.  The New York Post will always have more leeches and informants than Daulerio ever will. ...
