Hot Mic Catches NHL Ref Swearing At Player
Things get messy down on the ice, especially when players are trying to argue their cases to officials who aren’t trying to hear it. Following an interference penalty on Columbus’s Ryan Murray, 10th-year ref Frederick L’Ecuyer went to announce the call—but not before dropping a pair of F-bombs on an...
Louisiana Tech Played 4-On-5 After Brawl And Mass Ejections
The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs played the final 6:04 of their 79-70 loss to Alabama-Birmingham with just four players, after an on-court brawl resulted in the ejections of most players and all assistant coaches on both teams. (Seriously, I don’t know offhand how many players were ejected—whoever compil...
Vince Carter Is 40 Years Old And Still Doing This
Vince Carter is a gift we don’t deserve, a star who burned brightly and didn’t burn out. Unlike, say, Tracy McGrady (who is two-and-a-half years younger!), Carter has managed to remain a useful NBA player more than a decade past his prime. Carter turns 40 years old today, and he celebrated with the ...
Shootout Winner Bounces Off Back Of Goalie's Head
Rochester goalie Linus Ullmark was the star in last night’s AHL game between the Americans and the Toronto Marlies, stopping 39 of 40 shots, and yet he ends up on the lowlight reel. Life isn’t fair sometimes....
The Carmelo Anthony Saga Just Keeps Getting Messier
All of this is just so embarrassing for the Knicks, who for whatever reason just can’t seem to have a boring, dignified losing season like so many other teams. Oh no, this has to turn into open discord between their best player and the man running the shots, as a series of leaks have revealed that t...
Usain Bolt Just Lost A Gold Medal
Usain Bolt and the rest of Jamaica’s 4 x 100m relay team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics have been stripped of their gold medals after a stored doping sample from one of the runners, Nesta Carter, tested positive for a banned stimulant....
Marcus Smart Got Into It With His Coaches, Hit The Showers Early
I am disappointed. Anything short of a bench-clearing brawl would have been disappointing, after the Wizards wore all black (for the Celtics’ “funeral”) ahead of the teams’ third matchup of the year, after the first two features all manner of beef. But last night provided no fireworks, just a domina...
Report: The Fate Of Yordano Ventura's $20 Million Depends On Whether He Was Legally Drunk
It feels almost meaningless to discuss the money still remaining on the contract of Yordano Ventura, the 25-year-old Royals pitcher who was killed in a one-car crash early Sunday in his native Dominican Republic. But it’s obviously not meaningless to his family, which would be in line to receive the...
Man Accused Of Pulling Fire Alarm At Steelers' Hotel Told Cops He Was A Patriots Fan And Drunk
On Sunday morning police arrested 25-year-old Dennis Harrison, of East Boston, Mass., and charged him with disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, and setting off a false fire alarm. Harrison is accused of pulling the fire alarm at the Logan Airport Hilton where the Steelers were staying before th...
Athletes Pick A Side At The Women's March
On the eve of the Women’s March in Washington, a group of female athletes gathered together at a tiny Mexican bar minutes from the Capitol building....

In his ninth NFL season, tight end Martellus Bennett is heading to the Super Bowl....
Roger Goodell Must Hate This
If there’s a silver lining to yet another appearance by the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl—they’re early three-point favorites—it’s that the whole thing should make commissioner Roger Goodell at least a little uncomfortable. Goodell has gone out of his way to avoid New England this postseaso...
Roman Polak Is Not Impressed
In last night’s 5-2 Rangers win, Maple Leafs defenseman Roman Polak laid a questionable hit on Mats Zuccarello, New York’s diminutive leading scorer. At the next break, TSN’s Ray Ferraro, stationed between the benches, broke down the hit for viewers, and as luck would have it, Polak was right there ...
Mark Trumbo's Discount Dingers Belong In Baltimore
The Orioles and RF/DH Mark Trumbo have agreed to a three-year deal for $37.5 million, and the most interesting thing about the agreement is that it’s for less than Baltimore offered him at the beginning of the offseason. It’s been a weird winter for power hitters....
Connor McDavid Wins It With 2.6 Seconds Left In Overtime
On the same night Oilers sophomore Connor McDavid picked up his 100th career point, he cinched an overtime win over the Panthers with a breakaway goal with 2.6 seconds left in the frame. He just had to wait a little longer....
Oh Hey, It's Jim Irsay
It had been 18 days since the end of the season since we’d heard hide or hair of Colts owner Jim Irsay, which was very strange considering the questionable job statuses of coach Chuck Pagano and GM Ryan Grigson, both of whom, after another disappointing season, seemed prime candidates to be replaced...

Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Stay here....
The Chargers' Logo Died On Its Way Back To Its Home Planet
Those were a heady few days, weren’t they, after the Chargers announced their move from San Diego and then soft-launched an L.A. logo that looked like the Dodgers logo stuck its dick in a wall socket. It was mocked by hockey teams, booed by Los Angeles basketball fans, color-swapped and mocked again...
