Happy 4/20! The old Deadspin team is back to blogging—again.
The former writers of the popular sports and culture site—undeterred by unemployment or underemployment, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and ex-bosses with widely criticized editorial mandates—have returned to their provisional home, Unnamed Temporary Sports Blog, for five days of paid writing. Their aptly timed efforts start this morning and are supported by Sunsoil, the CBD oil brand.
“We’re dumb,” editor Tom Ley joked in a phone call with Observer Monday morning. “During our first phone conversation [with Sunsoil] we didn’t realize that the 4/20 connection was a thing. We were just looking for a week to do it when there might actually be some sports news to talk about.” Despite the pandemic’s suspension of practically all professional play, this week’s sports headlines include the NFL draft and news around The Last Dance ESPN documentary series on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.
