Standard Liège Fans' Murderous Tifo And Heckling Are Super Effective
Standard Liège fans have long memories. Today, former Red Steven Defour made his return to the stadium where he made his name, only this time playing for Standard's rivals Anderlecht. Instead of welcoming him back, fans made an enormous tifo depicting a decapitated Defour, shouted abuse at him all g...
Wilfried Bony Wrecks Defender With Nutmegging Elastico
Technically, this Malian defender did well not letting Ivory Coast's Wilfried Bony score here, but while sitting on his ass after Bony embarrassed him by flicking an elastico between his legs, I wonder if the guy thought he'd have been better off letting the striker walk on by....
English Team Blocks All Of Hungary On Facebook After Fans Spam Page
Hungary isn't known for churning out scores of soccer stars. So we understand when a nice young Hungarian boy is employed for his ability to kick around a ball, his countrymen want to support him, even if they take it a little far, as Notts County has discovered....
Remembering The Time A Manchester United Player Kung-Fu Kicked A Fan
With all this focus on the unimaginably dumb scandal that has swallowed the brains of the stupids in the sports world, it's good to remember that there was once a time when people were justifiably shocked at behavior during a sporting event.

NBA Logos As Video Game Characters
Designer Mark Kenny is back with more redesigns of sports logos, this time merging NBA logos with some of our favorite nostalgic video game characters. They're all really cool, and most even surpass the originals. Why can't we go ahead and make Raiden the official Thunder mascot?...
The "Seal Dribble" Was The Most Mesmerizing, Suicidal Soccer Technique
Your first reaction upon seeing Kerlon, the once budding superstar Brazilian kid who never blossomed, and his unique ability to dribble the ball with his forehead will probably be "Wow, why had nobody thought of doing this before!" But keep watching the video above, and by the time you see Kerlon en...
Old Man Tim Cahill Still Scoring Bonkers Goals Like This Bicycle Kick
The 35-year-old Tim Cahill is off playing with Australia in the Asian Cup they're currently hosting, and what better way to thrill the home fans than with a goal like this? Looks like Francesco Totti isn't the only ageless wonder out on these pitches....
Toronto Will Make Sebastian Giovinco World's Highest-Paid Italian Player
Once you've tried to wrap your head around the nebulous machinations that resulted in Toronto FC's new star-studded roster, you're left wondering how exactly the team convinced certain players to join the league. In the case of Sebastian Giovinco, the pitch was simple: "How would you like to be the ...
MLS Is Putting The Fix In For Toronto FC, Right Before Our Eyes
Not that this is any real secret, but it deserves to be said as often as possible: MLS is rigged. The league jointly owns each individual team, centrally controls all major decisions, and has a rule book as regularly erased and written over as a chalk board. With yesterday's reported news that Juven...
Deadspin Up All Night: You Can't Hurt Me
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Let's go....
Funkmaster Flex Ethers Jay Z In Epic, Endless, Bomb-Laden Rant
DJ Funkmaster Flex—one of NYC's premier hip-hop DJs, putting in work at radio-station oracle HOT 97 for more than 20 years now—was in inspired, incessantly bomb-dropping form last night, unloading a rambling, 10-minutes-plus diatribe against everyone and everything surrounding Jay Z....
Please God Let Adam Silver Be Serious About An NBA Version Of The FA Cup
NBA commissioner Adam Silver had the integrity to witness for himself the crime against sport that was the Knicks-Bucks game in London yesterday. While Brits probably didn't learn anything useful about our sports by watching the worst of what we have to offer, Silver might've taken something posit...
How U.S. Soccer Ensures The Fort Lauderdale Strikers Never Get A Chance
Last year, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers were purchased by a Brazilian consortium looking to turn the team into a "global powerhouse." Some of their bandied-about strategies for ginning up fan interest include drone-delivered concessions at the stadium, piggy backing off the club's history from the...
An Enormous, Terrifying Hippo
I don't know which is the scariest part of this video, the lurking wave the hippo generates while underwater, its speed when it arcs out and shows its head, or the size of the sucker when you finally get to see its body. This is why you can't trust animals....
Bill Simmons Had Lena Dunham Back On His Podcast, And They Said Things
For the third time now, thought leader Lena Dunham joined multiplatform presence Bill Simmons on his podcast yesterday. It was a typically awkward and at times baffling example of audience cross-pollination between two people with little in common besides their love of their own voices. Dunham has...
Fernando Torres Scores First Goal Back With Atlético Against Real Madrid
Hey, maybe this whole homecoming thing is going to work out, afterall! This is the exact kind of goal Torres has made his once-proud name so infamous, one where he had ample time to size up a fairly easy shot, and instead of scuffing it into an ad board, he spanked it home....
Spanish Sportswriter Communes With Dead Player During Batshit Seance
Okay, this is really, really weird....
HS Soccer Player Scores Crazy Front-Flipping Throw-In From 30 Yards Out

David Moyes Hops Into Stands, Enjoys Some Chips After Being Red Carded
It looks like the air in the Basque mountains has done David Moyes a world of good. No longer the grumpy looking human wrinkle he was for much of his time with Manchester United, Moyes has performed pretty much exactly as hoped with Real Sociedad. Today he even had some goodnatured fun after get...
