The End of an Era

Today is the last day for Will Leitch, the founding editor of the Gawker owned sports blog Deadspin.

For those who don't know, Deadspin is a sports blog "for the common fan." It isn't about knowing lots of stats or other random facts. It's about enjoying sports for what they are and having fun with them. To give you an idea of what takes place on the site, just know that Anchorman quotes will get you banned from commenting, because they were used far too often.

Yesterday, some of the other Deadspin employees blocked Will's access to the site and began to post what amounted to a virtual roast. Roasters included ESPN's Scott Van Pelt and Bill Simmons.

Today is Will's chance to get back at everyone so it should be hilarious.
