Deadspin's response to Chait not just STUPID also HILARIOUS

I left a comment explaining the popularity of BlueFront and TBS relative to their impressive point totals and was instructed to check my email for moderation purposes; in my inbox lay a message entitled "COMMENT FAILED MODERATION." I'm sorry the Michigan fan base's unilateral support of Rich Rodriguez doesn't help your shitty hack writing. Keep trying.

so I left them this:
Is this some sort of joke? The guys you link to in your last sentence are pariahs of the MGoBlog community. They've both been run off the site.
Your whole critique here ignores reality... why don't you read the articles Chait linked to in his MGoBlog post? The ones where Brian Cook refutes each of Rosenberg's columns. You're way out of your depth here.

Your highly relevant critique of the write-up's sources apparently wasn't as relevant as this gem:

"Does this end with Rodriguez nailing Padma Lakshmi?"

Brodie please tell me you clicked on the links in "michigan fans" in the last sentence. He links to A Barking Sphyncter Diary and BlueFront's Diary. That's priceless. Is he honestly suggesting that those two diaries weren't destroyed by people?

That was the hilarious part. Clearly he can't see the point totals. Good lord, man... if BlueFront and TBS are your sources you might as well just stop writing.

I also found it funny that Dashieel or whatever his name is wasn't the one to respond. Looks like the Deadspin guys are trying to stick together.

though it gives the impression of effort. but that would have involved citing the relevant expert, on whose blog the Chait's post ran in the first place. much better to cite shitty message board posts from said blog and copypasta Rosenberg's archives.
sometimes i wonder if the only difference between Deadspin and ESPN.com is the shitty Gawker layout.

relevant quotes to show that he wasn't biased against RR and that's EXACTLY what they did show! How is this:
"Michigan is just a name to him. The school is just a platform for winning championships. This is evident in everything Rodriguez does, from his abandonment of a century-old captains tradition to his bristling at the notion that Michigan holds itself to a higher standard."
...not the work of a guy who has his mind made up about the type of person Rodriguez is?

Deadspin used to be funny.
I'm just not sure when that was.
