Dead spin page clicks up 200% this week.

Next week's content farm abruptly deleted and dead spin didn't screen shot... Sad

Does anyone read Deadspin unless it’s Barstool-related?

I read Magary's Funbag, though it gets worse every year, and his Jamboroo column. That's about it.

Most of their Barstool articles are boring as shit and say the same thing every time.

It’s pretty unreadable at this point.

I went from daily clicks and article reading to maybe browsing a potentially interesting post until the pretentiousness overwhelms me. It’s usually like the second sentence.

_________________

it used to be a daily read. but its basic premise today is that everything in sports is bad and you should feel bad for supporting sports at all.

i watched the first 15 seconds of a recent video of the transgender writer and some other guy reading the backs of old minor league baseball cards.... but i couldnt stick around until it became funny or interesting.

PMT is the only thing to listen to and at times is the best right now for sports media/entertainment.

Someone said it right, deadpsin is just awful and jumped the shark a few years ago. Don't know of anyone who reads it anymore. Nothing funny about it.

Good guy.

Ogie - any comment on AOC dunking on dave earlier this week?



i suppose dave got a ton of publicity for his original anti-union crap and this story about a settlement flew way under the radar this week so he nets a win.

Portnoy is such an unlikeable clown show.

I’m sure Rick will be along to say this isn’t really a lot of money and that Barstool is still fringe or something .

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

It's a great payday for the Chernin Group.

Barstool still is fringe. That's why a casino company is buying them to try and get people to listen to podcasts and then gamble with them.

How can anything valued at more than $100M be fringe? I get that they are not major media but they have their niche. IDK I have never partaken so maybe they are fringe but I was under the impression that the future of media was going to be these smallish fractured sources.

This is Christmas Day for this guy.

This deal should push Julie and her followers over the edge. Hopefully, someone will share it with Julie's twitter account
just to see her head explode

Spotify might have to up their offer to buy The Ringer.

Chernin still owns 36% after this sale, the same % now owned by Penn.

The remaining 28% is owned by Pres and other employees.

So with this deal, Chernin made back far more money than they invested in Barstool while still retaining 36% of a rapidly growing brand.

You know what company hasn't ever been a good return for its owners? Gizmodo/Gawker

Penn National Gaming's stock went up over 10% today on this news.
