IIHF To Change Rule That Gave U.S. Victory Over Russia
The U.S.'s shootout win over Russia on Saturday—and the accompanying canonization of T.J. Oshie—wouldn't have occurred if not for a disallowed goal late in regulation. The call was controversial, correct, and unfair. Now international hockey's governing body is making sure it doesn't happen again....
Foolish Baby Has Ankles Broken By Crossover

Richie Incognito Is Back With An Apologetic Twitter Rant
After a brief, self-imposed Twitter timeout following the release of an independent probe that named him ringleader of a Dolphins' "pattern of harassment," Richie Incognito made a triumphant, rambling return with a late-night monologue....
Brazilian Bobsled Goes Airborne
Sometimes, Winter Olympians from the tropics don't give us a heartwarming (and maybe overrated) tale of overcoming adversity. Sometimes, they simply inspire wonder, as in, how did this pilot not die?...
Marshawn Lynch Lays Out Poor Bastard Just Trying To Learn Football
Marshawn Lynch is one of many pros down in Rio de Janeiro instructing at an AFWB football camp, and you can't say he's not showing campers the fundamentals of the sport. Rule No. 1: You will get hit....
Sochi Organizers Attempt To Clear Fog With Giant Fans
Heavy fog in the mountains above Sochi caused postponements of men's biathlon and snowboard cross races today. Visibilities were near zero at times, making the shooting portion of biathlon impossible, and snowboarding downright dangerous. But let no one say organizers didn't try everything in their ...
Is Time For Cat Falling Through Olympic Arena Ceiling
Lots of space has been spent on the (admittedly adorable) dogs of Sochi. But where is the cat coverage? Why are we not awwwing over the stray felines in and around the Olympics? Mostly because they're just fucking shit up....
IOC Declared A "Red Alert" On Sochi's Unfinished Hotels In September
Many accommodations in the Sochi area simply weren't ready for the thousands of visitors and journalists who arrived earlier this month. It sounds like it could have been even worse, if not for the IOC forcing the Russians to kick things into overdrive last fall....
Adorable Dog Invades Soccer Pitch, Plays Defense
The Belém clássico, between Remo and Paysandu of Brazil's lower leagues, was disrupted by a playful dog charging into the box during a scoring chance in the 85th minute. He may not have gotten a paw on the ball, but he surely cramped the left-footed Remo player's shot just enough to make sure the ma...
College Student Jobbed Out Of $10,000 Half-Court Shot
West Chester (Penn.) University freshman Jack Lavery was randomly selected to shoot for $10,000 at halftime of Saturday's game. He had 25 seconds to complete a layup, a free throw, a three-pointer, and a half-court shot. He made them all. He will not get the money. There is fine print....
Canadian Columnist Says Ice Dancing Is Rigged
Before you get the impression that an entire nation is drowning in sour grapes, know that Rosie DiManno is Canada's worst columnist (non Sue-Ann Levy division). But even for her, this is something:...
NBC Wrings Every Last Tear Out Of Bode Miller
After winning bronze in the men's super-G, Bode Miller gave a post-race interview to NBC's Christin Cooper. She asked him about his brother, who passed away suddenly last year.

Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Stay frosty....
Roger Goodell Makes All The Money
The NFL tells SportsBusiness Daily that commissioner Roger Goodell was paid $44.2 million for the 12 months ending March 31, 2013. For an inappropriate yet telling comparison, that is more than any football player has ever been paid—and almost exactly twice as much as the current highest AAV contrac...
