What does the Big Lead have to say about him? That other people think he sucks? That he sucks? I must know.

Boy, is Emo Boy a pretentious load.

He needs to be stuffed into a locker somewhere.
Don't read too much into any of it. It's Rozner. He's a fucking idiot.

I just listened to the NPR interview.  Scott Simon needs to lighten up.

I think Leitch is a pretty good writer, although heavy handed at times.  It seems lately that about 80% of Deadspin has turned into one big dick and fart joke.  But a good dick and fart joke.  And I would think that the readers of a Cubs site that nicknames it's right fielder "Fukkake" could appreciate that or at least see past it.  God Save the Fan is a pretty good read.  If you want shitty sports humor, read ESPN Page 2.

I think Leitch has become self-parody. He's more of a tool than those he calls out for being tools.

See past what? IWe love a good dick and fart joke.  IWe just quit finding the site funny and/or entertaining.  It seems a bit pretentious, if Iwe may use a word that I'mwe're not sure if I'm spelling right or know the meaning of.  Maybe Iwe don't get it because Iwe live in Arkansas.

"Smug" is the way that I would describe Lietch.  And I ought to know smug. 
I found his nervousness and stuttering at the end of the interview to be remarkable.

The stuttering makes it hard to follow him at times...  Happened on the Costas show too.  Or maybe it was his over-intellectualization of the virtual water cooler conversations that follow blogs in the comments section?

He doesn't bother me that much, but he really doesn't acquit himself either when the mic is turned on...

Not sure if you've been checking out Leitch's final day at Deadspin, but we have.  Bill Simmons responds with a roast about a lot of the photos you've all made fun of here.

Not bad at all.
