True story: I have an old friend who did some work for CBS during the Nagano Olympics for Tafoya's late-night roundup show. The crew had a cute little nickname for her: Cunt.

I have to admit, I kinda wish Deadspin wasn't the standard for all sites. It's much more of a sports gossip site than sports analysis. SBNation is probably a better representative of what bloggers are capable of.

As a female, I've just got to say, the only ones of us who do find Deadspin 'disgusting', as Tafoya put it, are the ones without any semblance of a sense of humor.

As the saying goes, "you don't always need to work blue to get a laugh."

She tried to be one of the guys when she poured beer on those Michigan fans at the Metrodome.

Gotta cut her some slack, she just wants to be one of the guys. Therefore, she'll be crushing beer cans on her head in no time.

I'm with Michelle. I think that the world would be a much better place if everyone knew the rules regarding Urinal Etiquette.

Hey, she just has a wide stance.

i heard this exchange yesterday (both tirico and patrick recapped the whole costas debacle quite a bit). i'm not a fan of tafoya, but if i had to guess i think she meant more the commentators than the actual blog posts. even as a guy, there are times when i think the comments go a bit too far (see anonymous 930a).

Great point AA. It is as if people have this view they can say whatever they want, but if it's in print, "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT".

Another example of hypocrisy: Stephen A Smith. He would be the first to point out racial inequalities and yet talk about women as if there only contribution to society is to be sexual objects for men.
