It's actually an entertaining read, if you can step back and not get triggered by the anti-Boston sentiment dripping all over it (no attempt by the writer to disguise that).

Hopefully Brad will have it taped to the locker-room wall at the Oracle for the team to read.

Yeah, it's good. Highlight:

Deadspin whip saws from mean spirited trolling to interesting features depending on the author more than any other website I am aware of.

At least Barstool is consistently mean-spirited trash that I can just block every single account and ignore it.

The follow up this morning is trashing the Warriors with Boogie singled out. (I kinda get that as he was really really bad last night)

Spot on. Also, Burneko is kind of a trash NBA writer IMO. I've just never really loved his stuff. His food stuff is great, but otherwise....

Reminds me of Hamilton Nolan. I love when Hamilton Nolan talks about boxing. It is literally, without hyperbole, beautiful. Everything else just has a bad tone though.

Yeah, I don't get the redeeming value.  I tried substituting "Lakers" for "Celtics" to see if I could buy into the style, but no.  Just trash writing that is sub-Fanside / SBN Fanposts.

I do like however that they're attacking Barstool sports for being terrible. Good for them.

But Deadspin attacking Barstool is kind of like the Irish Mob and Italian Mob fighting in the 70's. Like...you guys are both still the mob. You're different, but like...

I don't read Barstool, but Pardon My Take (which is owned by Barstool) is my favorite sports podcast.  So there's that.

PFTCommenter is absolutely great and I wish he'd find a job somewhere else because the rest of Barstool just seems like complete trash.

Yeah, he's the best, but Big Cat is decent, and Hank is used just enough to give good banter, plus he's a huge Boston fan which helps. But I agree that PFTCommentater is the ace.

He's very funny.

He also defends his employers and co-workers when they brigade, harass, and steal online. So, he's also trash.

I can handle hot-takey badness, Barstool does so much more.

Deadspin definitely goes after them with that much extra because they get lumped together is my read. (well that and the fact that Deadspin has been hit with the harassment)

The hilarious thing here is that you'd be hard-pressed to find anything like this for the Lakers - even though they're in worse shape (with a much cloudier future) than us....

To much of the sports world The Lakers fart pixie dust.
