Luke Thomas is mad as hell and is not going to take it anymore. For those of you who got the Network reference it appears that Luke of bloodyelbow.com are not happy with Deadspin for their treatment of the Lloyd Irvin story.

It looks like Buzz Bissinger was right (I am kidding deadspin please don't eviscerate us in the snarky gawker way). Where is Will Leitch to save us! Thomas continues to lay the proverbial smackdown,

"And that's the point here. I can get over the fact that this site was slandered for "comedic" effect. I believe this site is one of the top destinations for MMA fans worldwide, but when sports writers who know nothing about MMA don't recognize that it isn't the end of the world. We have growing to do. The Internet is a prickly place and someone's always going to squeeze a lemon. It's also a reasonable concern that the larger newspapers like the Washington Post didn't pick up on the story. So, healthy skepticism and swipes at other blogs is nothing to worked up over. But to do - literally - nothing more than read our story/a few message board posts by know-nothings and dismissively suggest with no knowledge of the people involved or without any independent homework on his own that Irvin is so unethical as to use my site and me, a member of Team Lloyd Irvin, to further his own marketing efforts by fabricating out of whole cloth a tragic incident that never happened is abhorrent and pathetic."

Come on sports blogs, can't we all just get along. I love both of the sites and have linked stories to each. Good news is that a correction should be printed soon.
