This just started happening to me. Could it be that I'm at the library using their wifi? If not, is there a fix?

Re: Defector.com
Out of curiosity, have you reached out to them about the issue?
Re: Defector.com
First off - when I got home, I logged in on my own wifi, and now the comments DO load.
And, to answer your question, I did reach out to them, and got back this answer:

He got a whole article out of the place and all we got was a photo of NJ’s favorite Kentuckian.
Maybe we should have gone inside.

The fake ad copy Drew reads on the Distraction always makes me laugh aloud. Today's got me so much that the wife came out during a meeting to give me the look.

Really sobering and sad story today on the vampiric ghouls who bought the parent of Football Outsiders and are likely to go under (the vampiric ghouls definitely, FO maybe).

Several of their writers had been tweeting about it for a few weeks. I sent an email into the void asking for a refund on my outstanding FO+ account.

That makeover has been enough for Aaron Schatz's FTN Almanac to project Cleveland as the third-best team in the AFC this season. Trust me, they’re as shocked by this as you are. When the numbers tell you the Browns are good, the numbers lie. That’s the power of Cleveland: It’s enough to make me distrust math in general.

Richardson’s on-target rate ranked 106th out of 114 FBS quarterbacks. Anytime you have the opportunity to draft a prospect with the exact opposite skill-set and profile of Tom Brady, you have to do it. Congratulations Indianapolis, on your 34th starting QB doesn't know how to pass.

Same here. None of the three are under a screen name that hides their identity. Haven't seen Bengal write anything there recently, but I saw brian recycle a post from here yesterday, prompting my post.L-Jam3 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 09, 2023 7:15 pmI pay for the commenter level, but that’s more to support the authors.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 09, 2023 3:38 pm So, who besides Bengal, DiS, and brian comment over there?

I seldom comment there for what it’s worth but I don’t mind paying an extra $2/mo or whatever the hell it is to support the site.

Waiting for that one magic day I happen upon an article just posted and I am able to fire off one pure clever quip. That’ll be the day.
Re: Defector.com
They used my submission for WYTS!
When I was 18 in 1991 season, I had my first serious girlfriend. She didn’t give a shit about football. So while that Lions team was grinding the embryo of the Jimmy Johnson Cowboys dynasty into a fine paste, I was not watching. I was doing boyfriend shit. What that shit was, I could not honestly tell you. We broke up a few weeks later.
The only Lions playoff win in the last 67 years and I missed it. I’ll be 50 when the 2023 season starts, and there’s definitely a non-zero chance that I will not only never see the Lions win a Super Bowl, I may very well never see them win a playoff game for the rest of my life.

That's great, BHH. (Not your predicament as a Lions fan, but that your submission was featured.) That's really well written and I can see how they'd pick it out of a crowd.
