Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. We’ll be here for a big ‘ol soccer weekend. ...
Roger Goodell Yuks It Up Over Ballghazi
You could do worse than picking your friends by their laughs. Not that someone’s laugh reveals whether they’re a good person or a bad person, but it’s a pretty great indicator of if you’d enjoy spending time with them. A good laugh is lovely and musical. An annoying laugh pries open your skull and g...
Police Searched Patrick Kane's House In Rape Investigation
Cops and prosecutors remain tight-lipped, but more details have emerged concerning the sexual assault allegations lodged against Blackhawks star Patrick Kane following an alleged incident over the weekend....
Mike Pettine Has Some Backhanded Praise For Josh McCown
Josh McCown will “likely” be the Browns’ Week 1 starter. Ideally, he’s a placeholder for a year or two to mentor Johnny Manziel, who could take over when the Browns are ready to challenge. But head coach Mike Pettine sounds bullish on McCown’s longer-term prospects, saying he combines the experience...
The 49ers' Turf Is Still Terrible
The terrible condition of the 49ers’ field was a running story throughout last year’s training camp, forcing the team to tear up the turf and completely replace it after just two preseason games. The grass is just as bad this year, and may have played a role in the Niners cutting short last night’s ...

The Improbable Story Of Baseball's Wildest Comeback
It definitely ain’t over ‘til it’s over. The 116-win 2001 Seattle Mariners were one of the greatest teams, in any sport, to not win a championship. Led by Lou Piniella, the team was built for success: they boasted great pitching, an impeccable knack for getting on base (their .360 OBP was the highes...
Rays Rookie's First Home Run Earns Him A First-Rate Silent Treatment
In his second game since being called up by the Rays, 2012 first-round pick Richie Shaffer went deep for his first big-league home run. The power-hitting 24-year-old should have plenty more home runs to come, but you only get one first. So when Shaffer got back to the dugout, his teammates made sure...
Somehow, Only Blue Jays Were Punished For Their Scrap With The Royals
Sunday’s dust-up between the Blue Jays and Royals was, almost exclusively, Kansas City’s fault. The Royals plunked Troy Tulowitzki, plunked Josh Donaldson, and brushed him back two more times before Toronto’s Aaron Sanchez retaliated by hitting Alcides Escobar. So it’s kind of weird that only Sanche...
22 Years Ago Today, Nolan Ryan Beat The Shit Out Of Robin Ventura
You charge the mound because you’re furious. Because you want to hurt someone. You know you’ll be ejected, fined, suspended, but it’s all worth it for brief taste of revenge. You never do it thinking that it all might go horribly wrong, and you might wind up on the receiving end of one of the most i...
A.J. Pierzynski Hit A Game-Tying Ninth-Inning Home Run And This Was Still The Best Thing He Did Last Night
The Braves took a wild 9-8 victory from the Giants with a two-run, 12th-inning walkoff shot from 30-year-old rookie Adonis Garcia, and they wouldn’t have made it that far without catcher A.J. Pierzynski’s ninth-inning, two-out, two-run bomb. But nothing was more fun than Pierzynski trying to frame a...
Adrian Beltre Hits For The Cycle In Five Innings
Adrian Beltre really needs to stop doing great things, or he’s going to keep getting his head touched. And you know how much he hates that....
Bills Suspend Aaron Kromer 6 Games After Boy-Punching Charges Dropped
