Will This Character Finally Make His Debut On <i>Game Of Thrones</i>?
One of the most engrossing facets of George R.R. Martin’s five-book A Song Of Ice And Fire saga is just how big the world is. The experience of reading the ASOIAF books is one of constantly checking the map inside the front jacket to orient yourself and checking the roster inside the back jacket to ...
The Other Curry Can Do Cool Basketball Shit Too
Tonight, the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Su—oh, who gives a shit? Both Pacific Division trashcans are in the midst of a tank-off and the Kings coaching staff didn’t even know that Boogie Cousins wasn’t playing until they couldn’t find him on the plane....
It Sounds Like The Bulls Were A Big Mess All Year
Whenever the air comes out of any high-pressure situation in the NBA, it tends to precipitate a fallout where all manner of unfavorable gossip finds its way to the surface....

Report: Josh Gordon Failed Yet Another Drug Test
Earlier today, answers finally surfaced in the NFL offseason’s most ragin’ mystery: Who is Johnny Manziel’s roommate? Initially, it appeared it was fellow ex-Texas A&M Aggie Von Miller, but it turns out Manziel is shacking up with suspended Browns receiver Josh Gordon....
Christian Pulisic, The Latest "Savior Of American Soccer," Is More Than Just Hype
You can count the number of soccer teams in the world better than Borussia Dortmund on one hand. Last season, the German club struggled with the loss of Robert Lewandowski and the impending loss of Jürgen Klopp and wound up with a sorry seventh-place league finish. One year later and they are back a...
This Tigers Fan Caught Five Foul Balls Today
The Tigers lost today at home to the Pirates, thanks to Justin Verlander giving up seven runs. Tigers fans didn’t have a whole lot to cheer for today, save for a pair of dingers and this guy, Bill Dugan, who caught five foul balls. He even made an off-the-wall catch in the second inning....
Jordan Spieth Wasn't Much For Talking After His Masters Collapse
Jordan Spieth lost the Masters by three strokes thanks to his collapse on the back nine, which included a quadruple bogey on a par 3. He recovered a bit and hit birdies on 13 and 15, but a bogey on 17 doomed him to a two-way tie for second with Lee Westwood. In the end, it was the worst collapse at ...
Jordan Spieth Blows Masters Lead With Disastrous Quadruple Bogey
Jordan Spieth had a fairly comfortable lead through most of the final round of the Masters, until he inexplicably blew the first few holes of Augusta’s back nine. After hitting four straight birdies, Spieth bogied on holes 10 and 11. Then he did, well, this on 12, which was a Par 3....
Pro Cycling's Most Harrowing Race Is A Day In Hell
You can’t drive your car over the cobbled roads of Northern France. They’re jagged anachronisms from a past era of transportation, and the only vehicles that still traverse them are tractors and, one Sunday a year, hundreds of professional cyclists. The 114th running of Paris-Roubaix will take place...
This Is The Among The Best Victory Celebrations In Cycling History
You may glance at the headline above you and reflexively gag at the hyperbole. However, you would be wrong to do so, for Astana’s Diego Rosa really did the shit....
American Cities, Ranked
The staff of Deadspin is rather geographically diverse. We are centered in New York City, but we have outposts in D.C., Philly, L.A., Ohio, San Francisco, and Florida. Combine this with our argumentative nature and proclivity to rank things, and you can see where this is going (to the blog you are r...
Harrison Barnes Put Kevin Martin Into The Damn Blender
Tonight, the Warriors became the second team in NBA history to win 70 games, as they comfortably held off the Spurs 112-101. Steph Curry was as omnipotent as he usually is, and the final scoreline is perhaps a bit generous to San Antonio. Kevin Martin had an okay game off the bench for the Spurs, bu...
The Flyers Are Free Falling
There are three teams currently fighting for the last two playoff spots in the NHL’s Eastern Conference, and they’re all within one point of each other. Both Detroit and Boston have 93 points with one game left, and Philadelphia has 92 with a pair still to play. As it shakes out, Philly clinches a s...
Kyle Schwarber Carted Off The Field With Leg Injury After Crashing Into Dexter Fowler
Kyle Schwarber and Dexter Fowler collided with each other while chasing a popup that Arizona’s Jean Segura sent into left center in the second inning. Fowler tried to go low, but Schwarber didn’t get out of the way quickly enough and his left leg looks like it got mashed up pretty bad during the col...

Josh Richardson Throws Down One Of The Best Dunks of The Year, Renders TNT Speechless
Josh Richardson is a fun rookie who plays about 20 minutes a game for the Heat and has a habit of jamming the bejesus out of the ball. If you’re not up on him, well now you are....
The Best Moment Of The A's Season So Far Is This Beer-Holding Fan's Foul Ball Catch
It’s been unseasonably nice in the Bay Area this week. As long as the Oakland A’s keep playing in their dilapidated husk of a ballpark, tickets will stay cheap, and there aren’t many better ways to enjoy a little global warming-induced early summer than watching some baseball and enjoying a big ass ...
Tiny Point Guards Are The Best
My favorite type of NBA player is an audacious, teeny-tiny point guard who makes up for his physical deficiencies with speed and bravado. Watching an apex human like LeBron James dunk on guys is its own sort of thrill, but it’s far more out of the ordinary for someone of Isaiah Thomas’ stature to do...
