Deadspin: Anti-ESPN

• Deadspin.com is a sports blog that specializes on obscure, unusual, personal, and especially humilitating stories. It serves as the TMZ of the sports world, uncovering pointless scandals and providing completely biased opinions daily.

• Sometimes Deadspin makes up their own hilarious stories, like the one where they auto-summarized one of sportswriter (and OU alumn), Jay Marrioti's articles.
• It's the anti-ESPN, anything goes, and the commentators know this. Comments come in the form of rapid one-liners, usually delivered as a random, crude, perverse/sexist/racist punchline to the story.
  
• Commentators often add punchlines onto other peoples' punchlines actually creating some very funny moments.
• The most used technique of a Deadspin commentator is quotationalism from another story. In the second comment on this story about Donte Stallworth, commentator shea_guevara makes a reference to Michael Vick in a joke.
  
• The most fascinating aspect of Deadspin is sometimes how far people are willing to take a joke when it involves a touchy subject such as a death.
  
• Erin Andrews, the attractive ESPN sideline reporter, has long been a compulsion of Deadspin. Her image was posted everywhere and she was used in countless jokes. Everything seemed innocent until recently it was discovered that somebody had secretly videotaped her nude inside her hotel room setting off an enourmous scandal and sending Deadspin into a guilt trip
• The comments on Deadspin are always more of a conversation than an argument but "conversation" is not the perfect metaphor.  "Conversation" fails to capture the random, fast paced style with witch the comments are posted.  
• All the comments are somewhat related to the story, but each comment stands on its own, not necessarily related to the other posted comments.  
• What makes Deadspin the most unique is that because of its blog-format, they don't have to conform to any "moral" code or even use reliable sources.  It's based off of hilarious rumors and infinite inside-jokes that only steady followers of the blog will truly understand.
