It's been a big week for Gawker. On Monday, the NY Times David Carr tried to put Gawker on his lap for a spanking for being a blog. Then today, various blogs speculated that Gawker was sold to Yahoo, mistaking a distribution deal for the potential of having Gawker Yahoo Messenger window. Which can only mean something crazy will happen on Friday, either a note from Peter Braunstein, some flowers from Judith Miller or a flaming bag of poo from the David Cross impersonator. But for us, nothing will be more shocking than the Vinny Testaverde reference in the hilarious Lindsay Lohan voicemail tag incident. Who knew Gawker readers knew about the Jets?
