SLOPPY SECONDS Leitch, Daulerio Congratulations to A.J. Daulerio, who has been named editor of Deadspin, the web's most popular sports blog. Daulerio replaces site founder Will Leitch, who is exiting the world of blogging to pursue fancy-pants magazine writing at New York. Despite his ardent fandom of Pearl Jam, Daulerio is a sharp, humorous writer, and should be an excellent fit for the site. Apart from his knowledge of the sporting world, Daulerio is also well-schooled in the subjects of gambling, dominatrices, and gastrointestinal ichthyology. That wisdom resulted in "Bottom Feeder," a probing and sensitive investigation of the fish that makes you crap orange.
