deadspin.com 6/5/2008 — We started this site on September 8, 2005, with a simple headline: "Welcome to Deadspin. We Come With a Pure Heart and Mirthful Disposition." We think that's still pretty much true; we try to keep our disposition mirthful at all times. But sometimes ...

My favorite blog Deadspin will never be the same. Will Leitch anounced yesterday that he would be leaving his editor post at Deadspin to become a contributor at New York Magazine. This comes after 3 years of blogging for Gawker Media's crown jewel , and after building Deadspin into the identifiable icon that it is today. First things first, while I am not not shocked by the ...

As anyone who surfs the sports blogs out there has probably aware, Will Leitch, editor of Deadspin is leaving to work for New York Magazine, which I imagine is better pay than working for a blog. Although, let me tell you, income from my blogs has allowed me to supersize when I go to McDonald's.
The Red Sox and Rays continued their historic rivalry yesterday. It should be noted that Coco Crisp

In case you haven't heard the news, Deadspin editor Will Leitch announced he's leaving Deadspin today for a position with New York Magazine. He'll continue to write for Deadspin, hopefully in the 1st person plural, but will no longer be acting editor of Deadspin.com. We wish Will all the luck in the world, not that he'll need it, as he is one of the most gifted individuals we've encountered ...

Here is his post . My reaction coming shortly. However, it is just about as big as news gets within the sports blog universe, given Leitch's pole position and uber-prominence. Big shoes. Really big. Congrats to him on an unbelievable run that entertained as much as it influenced, which is saying something. New York Mag is lucky to grab him. -- D.S.
