Philly News Station Forgets Joe Frazier's Been Dead For Five Years, Wishes Him A Happy Birthday
Joe Frazier is not going to be meeting with friends and supporters this evening at City Hall at 6:00, because, sadly, Joe Frazier has been dead since 2011. That did not stop Philadelphia news station Fox29 from reporting that Frazier was turning 73 today....
Every Episode Of <i>It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia</i>, Ranked
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia has been on the air since 2005, and somehow, a show about five terrible idiots who hatch insane schemes and treat each other with unabashed disdain is probably going to end up as the longest running live-action comedy series in TV history. The show is just getting i...
Gordon Hayward And The Utah Jazz Are For Real
The Utah Jazz have been out on the fringes of the NBA for most of the decade. They haven’t made the playoffs since the lockout-shortened season of 2011-12 and the last time Utah had an all-star was Deron Williams in 2011. However, both short droughts are probably going to end this season, as the 24-...
Steph Curry Ruthlessly Dunked On
Steph Curry tried to hang tough and get a charge call at the end of the first quarter. Instead, he flew away from James Johnson at the first hint of contact like a flea off a dog and was subsequently wrecked....
Gerald Green Kissed The Sky On This Alley-Oop
Journeyman Celtics guard Gerald Green was once an otherwise ineffective player who was only notable for winning the 2007 Slam Dunk Contest with his famous cupcake dunk. Two years after that dunk, he was playing in Russia but he’s since returned and become a perfectly serviceable backup shooting guar...
Baylor's First Ever Spell As The Nation's Top-Ranked Team Kicks Off With Blowout Loss
Then-undefeated Baylor became the #1 team in the nation for the first time in school history on Monday. A day later, the Bears got blown out by West Virginia, and I hope they enjoyed their lone day in the number one spot, because it’s almost assuredly gone after this week....
Atlanta Hawks Discipline GM For Joking About Angry Black Women At Fan Event
After an internal investigation, Atlanta Hawks GM Wes Wilcox will be formally disciplined by the team over a joke he made last month at a fan event, per ESPN. As Deadspin reported last Friday, Wilcox was fielding questions from a group of fans and tried to ease tensions by saying, as one of our sour...
Donald Trump Denies That He Hired Russian Hookers For Golden Shower Party
This evening, Buzzfeed News published a dossier full of Donald Trump gossip that has apparently been circulating among politicians, intelligence officials, and journalists. The claims include allegations that Trump rented out the same Moscow hotel room that the Obamas stayed in and hired a pair of p...
Brock Lesnar Accidentally Curses Winnipeg Jets' Season By Stepping On Team Seal
Brock Lesnar is halfway through a year-long USADA doping suspension, and he’s apparently filling part of the MMA-shaped void in his life with hockey. The Winnipeg Jets had him over last night, and he promptly doomed their season by stepping on a team logo seal in the center of the locker room. I’m g...
Bike Stuck In Electric Fence Nearly Defeats Trio Of English Guys
“C’mon Paul, got your bike off that electric fence!” says a voice from behind the camera. For the next three minutes and 38 seconds, that is exactly what Paul (and his two friends) try to do....
Trust Me, This Is A Cool Badminton Highlight
Badminton, a sport where two (or four) players try to ceremoniously murder a fake bird, is much more prone to producing cool highlights than I thought. Take this insane rally between Mads Conrad-Petersen and Mads Pieler Kolding of Denmark and Japanese duo Takeshi Kamura and Keigo Sonoda. These badmi...
That Last Alabama Drive Was Terrifying
More than any other team in sports, Alabama football feels the most futile to root against. Over and over, they’ve stamped out nascent comebacks with two well-timed turnovers or turned a 14-10 game into a 28-10 game in two minutes of work. These are the sorts of ways you can win games when you’re bi...
Clemson Dethrones Alabama And Wins National Championship With Last-Second Touchdown
The National Championship rematch between Alabama and Clemson was just as fraught and close as 2016's all-time classic, but unlike last year, it ended with Alabama getting their hearts ripped out and Clemson wining their first title since 1981....

Derrick Rose Missed The Knicks Game And Nobody Knows Why [Update]
About half an hour before the Knicks tipped off against the Pelicans, the Knicks cryptically announced that Derrick Rose was “not with the team.”...
This Is Not Targeting, Somehow?
Mike Williams hung on and got the first down here, but it cost him a huge shot from Alabama DB Tony Brown. There was no penalty called on the play, even if it appeared to be a fairly clear targeting violation. The Tigers held him out for the rest of the drive, but ESPN reported that he was medically...
The World Cup Is Probably Expanding To 48 Teams, But That Might Be Okay
The docket at the FIFA governing council’s meeting tomorrow morning in Zurich includes the following items: “Approval of the Media and Marketing Regulations for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Bahamas 2017”; “Monitoring Committee Israel-Palestine”; as well as “Format of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.”...
Jordy Nelson Reportedly Has "At Least Two" Broken Ribs
Packers receiver Jordy Nelson spent last night in the hospital, thanks to the wallop in the side that Giants CB Leon Hall gave him while he was juggling a pass. Nelson was taken into the locker room and ruled out shortly after, but Packers coach Mike McCarthy said it was possible that he’d still sui...
