The Charleston Battery are a soccer team that play in the United Soccer League—the third tier of American soccer, below MLS and the NASL—and average about 4,000 fans a game. You would think they’d be happy with any media coverage they could get, especially from South Carolina’s most-read newspaper. You would think…
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Spring’s coming eventually.
A popular surround sound system, filter-free Dyson vacuums, and a discounted AV receiver kick off Friday’s best deals.
The Cubs announced that Kyle Schwarber has torn his ACL and LCL in yesterday’s outfield collision, and will miss the entire season.
Goalie Mickael Roche somehow scored this own goal in an Oceania Champions League match between AS Tefana (Tahiti) and Nadi (Fiji). If you recognize Roche’s name from anything, it’s probably because he was the poor sap in goal when Spain blasted Tahiti 10-0 in the 2013 Confederations Cup.
Red Wings fans have a tradition of throwing octopuses onto the ice, as the creature with eight arms used to represent the number of victories required to earn the Stanley Cup. During Thursday’s game against the Bruins in Boston, one Red Wings fan chucked the damn thing onto the ice in the third period, for no clear…
Today in “Things Only The Phillies And Little Leaguers Do,” watch Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez get doubled off on a called infield fly.
I met him on a short hill overlooking the road, some macho Welsh local covered in rain and dirt, pulling a beer from his poncho and waiting for the next car to wail past. I asked him why he had trekked into the woods, soaked through his boots, standing for hours on the side of a road, just to get sprayed with rocks…
You’re bored, so you stagger out onto a virtual stage under a searingly bright virtual spotlight, look out at your virtual audience, and see an alienating stew of every social group you’ve ever belonged to, with plenty of friends’ dads, former authority figures, ex-enemies, fleeting acquaintances, and androids stirred…
You may glance at the headline above you and reflexively gag at the hyperbole. However, you would be wrong to do so, for Astana’s Diego Rosa really did the shit.
Sorry, I can’t hang out this weekend. I’m going to Yellowstone to get some R&R at this very cool spa for bears.
The last month has seen a couple of great wiper blade promotions, but if you haven’t liked the the brands Amazon’s promoted so far, how’s two Valeo frameless blades for $22 sound? This deal applies to every Valeo Ultimate 900-series blade that Amazon sells, some of which go for over $20 by themselves.
The staff of Deadspin is rather geographically diverse. We are centered in New York City, but we have outposts in D.C., Philly, L.A., Ohio, San Francisco, and Florida. Combine this with our argumentative nature and proclivity to rank things, and you can see where this is going (to the blog you are reading, right now).
Brandon Marshall has been found not liable in a federal civil trial resulting from the 2012 fight at a Manhattan club, during which a woman said the New York Jets wide receiver punched her in the face. Police investigated the fight in 2012 and declined to bring any criminal charges.

Anybody who follows college sports even semi-closely is inured to scandal. These guys are taking sham classes, those ones are getting free dealership cars, that one is getting money slipped under the table by an agent. But even beyond the sheer mind-numbing quantity of “scandals,” the NCAA is an immoral garbage heap,…
To Senator Ted Cruz, Governor John Kasich, and businessman Donald Trump: Gawker is proud to invite you to its 2016 GOP Presidential Town Hall: Your Vape, Your Voice.
So that’s one question answered. With last night’s surprisingly handy 112-101 win over the Spurs, the Warriors have now clinched the top seed in the West and home-court advantage for as long as they’re still playing. The final three games—at Memphis and San Antonio, then home against the Grizzlies—mean nothing from a…
The supermassive version of our favorite surround sound system is down to its lowest price today on Amazon.
