In fact, I think they kinda copied Jason. Thus, as a lawyer, I will be preparing a lawsuit against Nick Denton's multi million dollar enterprise forthwith. On Jason's behalf of course. Jason, my cut is 33%. Here is what Jason said 11 days ago. Gawker, like Jason, initially found the matchup to be a draw, until digging deeper. Gawker went to the trouble to ask actual experts, who went with the Seahawks. Jason just went to his store of superior knowledge of the animal kingdom, and likewise found the Seahawk superior. 11 days ago.

When Chris Christie Bridgegate scandal broke, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was on air that weekend supporting the New Jersey Governor. Now Giuliani says it is "fifty-fifty" over whether Christie was lying and in fact knew about the bridge closures. Georgia Governor Nathan Deal (R) runs a clinic on how to response when you fuck up and are facing criticism: you accept responsibility and apologize rather than blame others and dodge accountability (the path Christie chose).

Deal "called for a top-to-bottom review of the government's response to the epic traffic jam in the aftermath of Tuesday's snowfall and he and the state's top emergency staffer apologized for failing to adequately prepare for the storm." Said Deal: 'I am not satisfied with the response. But I am not going to look for a scapegoat. I am the governor, and the buck stops with me.'"

Those that follow Deal's example tend to survive crisis, and those that follow Christie's path don't.
