Another Take on the Deadspin vs ESPN feud. This has been going on for quite some time, but it came to it’s Zenith yesterday. Everyone is talking about it. Chris Mottram and Clay Travis will bring you up to speed much better than I ever could.
Basically ESPN has a bunch of wildly popular on screen talent and a ton of 20 something interns. Put that together with ESPN headquarters being located in Bristol Connecticut, where there is nothing to do, and it spells trouble. Like I said the 2 aforementioned bloggers will give you the full story.
Here is my take. Do you remember a couple weeks ago when A.J. Daulerio, Deadspin’s head honcho, had his lengthy email exchange with a very distraught Sean Salisbury? Well it was interesting to say the least, and Sean told of his book that will be released very soon ” I kept a journal for 13 years at espn and a tell all book will be released in months to come. Book title: espn exposed. The truth inside the r rated company.”
I am not affiliated with Deadspin in any way, and am only speculating, but what if A.J. did not appreciate Sean’s tone, and told himself that the next time ESPN ticked him off that he would release everything he knows about ESPN. That would give Deadspin the credit for breaking the stories, and would kill Salisbury’s book in it’s tracks.
