ReplyDeleteYou laugh, but the truth is that Kinja is the result of a handshake agreement that Tommy made with Norby during the secret recruiting meeting they had under the guise of Tommy "infiltrating" an ESPN staff meeting. When Deadspin's value falls so precipitously that ESPN is able to buy the site for $20.37 and one used gorilla suit, and Tommy is then named ESPN's SVP of Serious Online Discussions, don't say I didn't warn you.
