Oh no! You just hate to see it! You just hate to see it! Poor poor Deadspin just getting pushed all over the ring by big bad Barstool. I can see it now. The Green Monster, Samer Kadolphin and Laura Wagner probably running around the offices with their hair on fire. We can’t let that alpha male who looks like a freshly baked cookie El Presidente buy us! Somebody get the bully off of us! Help! Oh no! What do we do! What do we do!!!! SAVE US Kadi! Save us!
PS – How insulting is it that Deadspin thinks we need this Amazon sale to afford them? That was just a joke our marketing department came up with for today. I didn’t even know about it till Kavi sent this cease and desist.
On a more serious note though I have already inquired how much it would cost for me to acquire them from Univision. And I’m not talking about buying them through Barstool either. I’d buy them with my personal money just to stick em in my back pocket. Why? Because I’m rich and some people just like to watch the world burn.

Double PS – Is there any group of people who define the “dish it but can’t take it” motto more than Deadspin? I mean a C+D for this? Really guys? This isn’t the Laura Wagner I’ve come to love. She generally fights fire with fire. This is just sad. What happened to our elegant dance of seduction? It looks like true romance may be dead after all.
