Well, yesterday was interesting, to say the least.
Hopefully we retained a good portion of the eyeballs directed our way yesterday, and whether you were a Deadspin commenter, lurker, whatever, we welcome you and hope you’ll add us to your regular rotation.
Now, the question becomes: Where do we go from here? Read the rest of this entry →
Like this, but way more dick jokes
Being, as we are, obsessed to an unhealthy degree with the goings on of Deadspin here, we here at The Rookies could see the winds of change just like the rest of you. The proverbial fur has already begun to fly over at the ’spin, so we are taking it as our solemn task to document the carnage. Therefore, without bias or preference, we plan to simply post a list of those who have tasted the cruel blast of the Banhammer since May 31st’s DUAN. This will be updated as need be.
P.S. For Her?, on the day of his banning.

P.P.S. In honor of the fallen commentors, the background of our blog will remain black indefinitely (it’s mostly because we think it looks pretty bitchin’).
Why hello audience, Shakey here. You might recognize me as the longtime Deadspin commenter Flametown (which I was for almost two years until I realized it had a marginally gay connotation. Don’t want to attract John Amaechi or A-Rod or something), and now as the aforementioned name. 
Now let me keep this short and to the point. I’ve been submerged in the Deadspin Universe since 2005, and have a passion for keeping the Deadspin comment area devoid of unworthy contributors. After countless hours spent in the Deadspin comment section, including a personal best 23 day commenting streak in December of 08, I’ve decided to use some of this time to attempt to blog. Thanks to esteemed commenter Rock You Like An Iracane, I have this opportunity.
I’m a 19 year old Temple journalism student living in constant fear of getting shot in the face. As a matter of fact, last night there was a shooting 100 feet from my residence, aptly titled by my fellow students as the ‘Crown Chicken Massacre.’
Those guys… are probably going to jail.

I love everything Philadelphia, but I try to stay away from homer-isms as much as possible. Unless you’re a Giants fan.
Anyways, lets have some fun, why don’t we? Hail the ‘Royal We’, keep up the good work Daulerio and RIP Barbaro. Deadspin commentariat unite!
And now I’ll leave you with a random Mitch Hedberg quote.
My lucky number is four billion. That doesn’t come in real handy when you’re gambling. “Come on four billion! Fuck! Seven. Not even close. I need some more dice. Four billion divided by six, at least.”
Oh yeah, and a hearty Fuck You to Facebook Commenters.
