"When I first started doing Deadspin, Lockhart Steele, the man who hired me, told me that running a high-content blog “will teach you things you didn’t know about yourself; when you just start typing without thinking, and then doing that 18 times a day, it distills you to who you actually are."

It was fun being back on Deadspin today. My first piece on Deadspin in more than a year. The publishing system, amusingly, is exactly the same as it was when I last used it.
One of my first big “links” came from Leitch linking a blog post of mine about the 2008 dickhead-ish move by McCourt’s Dodgers to divvy up seats with over 180 different price points. I also remember that link helping me reach my quarterly page view numbers, which meant bonus time!
Also, blogging 12 times a day for over a year made me realize that whimpering in public isn’t such a bad thing.
