]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> I can't be mad at another Saints fan. We share too much of the same misery. However, you do not insult my Marlins, my one successful team!

Greek McPapadopoulos

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> Wow, this is going at least as terribly as I had imagined it might. Already.

My money's on Balk though. His incredible layer of protective back hair should be able to pull out the sp0rts action in the end.

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> Nah, it's gotta be Tottenham. Tottenham Hotspur sounds way gayer than Chelsea, plus it's Simmons team. Ergo gay.

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> Is it really that hard to post a YouTube video of someone getting hit in the nuts with a football?

Rob Iracane

Pete Gaines

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> Deadspin: an army of laywers, cool women, and a physicist. We can take over the world.

Critic

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> I'm just thinking Balk should farm out 10 of the posts to Hirshey, the Oddsmaker guy (even though it's only Tuesday), that guy who won the Tiger Woods contest, and a few others, to make it an easy day for him. And us.

Sandy Magic Jackson

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> Don't mind me. I didn't get out of the office until 10 last night.

11pm here. Hooray, Deadspin Lawyers LLP!

Yinka Double Dare

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> So when are we going to start talking about Reese and Ryan breaking up? I don't know about anyone else, but right after work, I'm going home, lighting some scented candles and watching Cruel Intentions over and over for the rest of the night.

Denis Lemieux

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> Can we please get a sports-related Douchebag Hall of Fame post today?

Wait, nevermind. Almost every post on Deadspin has an inductee.

No, no. NOOOOOOO. Don't do that. Don't do that.

it was turning me on for a minute and then i looked around.

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> So are we going to see the debut of the Deadspin Stalker Map any time soon?

"So I was walking down 7th and I notice some people murmuring and pointing. Some Nebraskans are taking pictures. I'm too cool to acknowledge celebrities because I wish I was one myself. (I did write a one-act, you know.) So who is it? It's Ryan Klesko filing for unemployment. So underwhelming. I can't believe I'm actually taking the time to send this in."

Ted Striker

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> Jesus. Gay and Macho at the same time. It's like Charles Barkley.

Deadspin needs more copyranter comments. Oh, and I vote for Jessica Coen as well. Mee-yow!

Captain Caveman

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> I'm willing to bet we have way more lawyers in our army than they do over at Gawker.

BowdenBowdenBowden

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> I never thought I'd see the phrase "Road to Glory Hole" on deadspin, but today that may change.

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> God, I hope the first post of the day hits 1,000 comments.

Boomdog, what do you think this is, a throwaway unliveblogged post of Game 3 of a World Series 12 people had interest in?

Matt Sussman

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> I hate to say it, but the commenters here reminds me of watching a certain Mike Judge movie that came out recently. (No, not "Office Space".)

Critic

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> Some of us have been miserably hungover in class since 8am. The Gawkerspin rumble is the only thing getting me through graduate stats at the moment.

We are all Fleshbot crew - just too embarrassed to comment there.

Metschick

Get Him A Body Bag, Yeah!

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> God, I hope the first post of the day hits 1,000 comments.

Senator Boomdog

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> As an poster of Idolator origin, I think we should all bond together over a free mp3.

Or maybe I should get some backup from the Fleshbot crew....

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> I so love the kneejerk hipster "sports fans are all mouthbreathing, knuckledragging, closeted gay douchebag" response.

Projecting your own insecurities onto others is so...Gawker.

Pete Gaines

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> While I don't agree with your rooting for random teams, any post that starts off "listen up douchebags" is fine by me.

Spectacular Sam

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> Apparently Mr. Gawker editor doesn't realize the caveman is fully capable of having the duck with mango salsa and going on a tennis vacation. Your taunts and big words will not intimidate us - we are the underground!

Wingman

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> I'm pretty sure watching your college team lose to Temple is a close second.

Steve518

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> The 'mos down at Gawker need to go grab a pie down at Grimaldi's and chill. Then, upon reflecting on your self-aggrandizement, make haste to Selmer's Petland for your monthly supply of gerbils.

Yeah, I'm namedropping New York icons. Next installment: rent control at my baba's crib.

oscarfactor

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> I just want to be clear, this is all part of Will's elaborate plot to make us appreciate five Cardinals' related posts a day, right?

AwfulAnnouncing

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> whoever knows the url for meatspin should post it for the gawker readers. that should keep them busy for a while.

Denis Lemieux

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> Balk is probably really good at catching a football.

Enrico

]]> <![CDATA[Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In]]> As a Saints fan from the Jim Mora/Sam Mills days, I have to say the first thing about being a Saints fan is you don't care about the game once it's over.

If they are getting blown out in the fourth quarter, just think about where you're going to have dinner.
