Deadspin Michigan preview is a failure, mocked on Twitter

Submitted by dnak438 on

For those of you not on Twitter, these tweets should pretty much sum it up:

Someone managed to write an entire preview of Michigan without realizing Jake Rudock transferred in. https://t.co/5KPKa91Dgr

In other news, Michigan apparently lost to Penn State last year.

"I could have put in here more about him, but I had no idea he existed until three minutes ago."

Somehow this goofball QB depth chart I made up for Michigan in April is more accurate than Deadspin’s preview. pic.twitter.com/7Fdpwgt2zs

Need to be clear about is out in the real world this is Exactly how Harbaugh and the UM program is viewed. At the bottom, headed nowhere, with a nut job now leading the charge. Seems spot on in most circles

Fact checking Deadspin is a hopeless cause.

Current headlines include:

"Which NBA Player Cheered On His 69ing Partner Like A Teammate?"

and

"This Woman Does Not Like Us Making Fun Of The Texans"

In other news, the Bat Boy was recently discovered living underneath the empty bleachers at Wallace Wade Stadium.

Also gotta give some blame to the person who edited and approved it as you gotta know that any piece about a team with a top 5 fanbase needs to at least have the basics down. He also didn't endear himself with this tweet below. Seems to forget that the "smug asshole" only works when you actually know what you're talking about.

He also referred to Deveon Smith and Derrick Green as Michigan's "security blanket," though in a possibly mocking manner.  He doesn't seem to be aware of Drake Johnson or Ty Isaac.

Fair and unbiased indeed *vomits*. As I recall from Twitter, this guy wrote for the Duke Chronicle so I am sure his preview of Duke hoops will be objective as well and not have a badly Photoshopped image of him doing things to Coach K that are still not entirely legal in some states. Not at all. Totally objective. 

I can see his journalism future now, covering the stories that matter to people:

The worst kind of hack.  The kind that thinks he's funny/clever.  He writes like a dipshit MSU grad too.  In any case I welcome the Harbaugh and Michigan haters. Whatever happens we won't lack motivation nor hunger to win. Harbaugh has done more with less.

Deadspin's sports coverage is kinda terrible.  I mean, the whole Gawker regime is really starting to fall apart, but what used to be an interesting read in Deadspin has basically become "how snarky and/or aloof can we be without putting any effort in."  

In fact, the only sports-related story Deadspin could hang its hat on recently is the Teo story, which was basically outting a guy for being catfished.  It was barely related to sports.
