Keep a wastebasket or vomit bag nearby while reading this, because it's classic Jimbo self-regard. His Royal Majesty Speaketh.
PS: this is doubly hilarious for another little-known reason: the current owners of Gizmodo Media Group have been running it into the ground. I understand their click traffic is about ONE HALF TO ONE THIRD of what it was five years ago; and dozens of their longtime contributing writers have bailed out in the past year. Haven't seen any "official announcements", just mutterings in comment areas. Last year there was a stink about Jim Rich, the guy they hired to "relaunch" Deadspin after nearly all the staff quit. He also resigned after squabbling with the equity-fund assholes who own GMG. Or "G/O Media" or whatever it's called now.
