Deadspin

Deadspin is a sports website owned by Gawker Media and was launched in September 2005.

Deadspin's founding editor-in-chief was Will Leitch, author and a founding editor of the New York City–based culture website, "The Black Table". Leitch announced on June 5, 2008 that he would be leaving to take a position at New York magazine. He was replaced by A. J. Daulerio, former senior writer for the site.

The current masthead consists of editor-in-chief Tim Marchman, deputy editor Barry Petchesky, news editor Tom Ley, contributing editor Drew Magary, along with a staff of full-time writers and regular contributors.

Content

The site posts commentaries, recaps, and previews of the major sports stories of the day, as well as sports-related anecdotes, rumors and YouTube videos. The last post each evening is tagged "DUAN" and means Deadspin Up All Night, often taking on a life of its own and featuring wildly diverse (and not necessarily related to sport) commentary. Like Gawker.com, stories on Deadspin come from anonymous tips, readers, and other sports blogs.
