Everything we know about Defector, a new sports blog from former staffers of Deadspin


On Tuesday a new sports blog popped up on the internet, one created by a familiar cast of characters: The site is called Defector, and it is made up of former writers and editors of Deadspin, including Drew Magary, Diana Moskovitz, David Roth, and Ray Ratto. These are many of the same writers and editors who quit Deadspin en masse. (USA Today)
