It's may sound convenient now, but I had reservations about Deadspin's decision to bring Clay Travis (previously of Claynation) on as an Editor. His shtick was pleasant enough when geared toward the middlebrow CBSSportline readership. Never the less, I wasn't sure how it would translate to the snarkier and decidedly lower brow content that most readers expect on Deadspin.
He's already off to a somewhat shaky start with some commenter's, but that could easily be attributed to the regulars need to pick on the new guy, and run of the mill SEC haterade.
I was still kind of half-way rooting for him, but now I am hoping he gets pummelled after two straight days w/ "jokes" regarding UGA generally and Staffords "suckiness" specifically.
Even as a UGA fan, I accept, even expect the Dawgs to get more than their fair share of ribbing and abuse this season after all the hype. I'd just prefer it involved actual wit and or insight rather than hacky rips from your typical Tennessee based call-in show.
I am sure all the pranksters at Awesome Nashville Attorney's at Law consider these are major burns, but I would think Deadspin readers might have higher expectationg than the break room at ANAAL.
I'd expect more from Spencer Hall's dog.
It sounds better in the original bitter-NFL-washout anyway.
