David Price Finally Broke His Postseason Hex
Unfair or deserved, David Price has a reputation for pitching like butt in the playoffs. Before tonight, he was winless in 11 postseason starts since 2011. In Game 2 against the Astros, he had to settle for the “team win” when he was pulled after 4.2 innings and didn’t factor into the decision for B...
The Arizona Cardinals Are Toilet Soup
Von Miller called his shot earlier this week when he said his team would kick the Arizona Cardinals’ asses. The Broncos, who had lost four straight, had planned to take out their frustrations in tonight’s game. The hopeless bird men were happy to oblige....
Markelle Fultz Is Still Struggling, But He Finally Made A Three
The Sixers didn’t really need Markelle Fultz to play well in tonight’s 127-108 blowout of the Bulls, which was good, because something’s clearly still affecting him. He finally made his first career three-pointer, though, and it made for a nice little moment. The Philly crowd celebrated like they’d...
Don't Fall In Love With Ted Cruz, Or You'll Live An Unfulfilled Life
Presumably this Heidi Cruz profile, by Elaina Plott at The Atlantic, was written in an effort to provide some sort of human element to Ted Cruz’s re-election campaign, as he is incapable of doing that himself. Instead, it came off as a dire warning of what will happen to a person’s life if they fuck...
Report: Los Angeles Will Be Saddled With The Chargers For At Least 20 Years
The Los Angeles Chargers are currently in a tiny stadium that can max out its capacity at 27,000. They’ve become a concern for the league’s other owners in terms of viability. Also, no one really cares about them since their true fanbase is in San Diego. But here’s some relief: They’ll be locked int...
David Ortiz Went Nuts In The Studio For Jackie Bradley Jr.'s Grand Slam
A transcript to the best of our abilities, for the hearing impaired, can be found below:...
With Josh Allen Hurt, The Bills Will Start Not Nathan Peterman
Rookie quarterback Josh Allen has an elbow injury, and bad quarterback Nathan Peterman shit his ass last Sunday, so the Bills will now turn to old quarterback Derek Anderson for their Week 7 game against the Colts....
Jon Gruden Is A Broken Man
The Raiders were soundly defeated this Sunday, like most Sundays, and in today’s press conference head coach Jon Gruden looked like his team played. He used to get excited about play-action passes to the fullback and pool noodles. Now he’s visorless and haggard as he announces to the assembled press...
The Texans' Red-Zone Offense Is Enough Of A Reason To Fire Bill O'Brien
Bill O’Brien is a head coach who specializes in offense. In his two seasons at Penn State, he made the most of Matt McGloin and turned Christian Hackenberg into a competent quarterback. He even fooled the Jets into using a second-round pick on the latter. Before that, O’Brien had a role in the Patri...
Peter Gammons's Tweets Have Gone From Nonsense To Spicy Nonsense<em></em>
Baseball writer Peter Gammons is a favorite around these parts, mostly because on Twitter he’s notorious for gems like this:...
Alex Bregman Tries To Get Under Nathan Eovaldi's Skin Before Game 3
Astros third baseman Alex Bregman hasn’t recorded a hit in the ALCS, although he almost spoiled Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel’s Game 2 save and does have six walks, which gives him a perverted .000/.700/.000 slashline for the series. Maybe the video Bregman posted Monday on Instagram served two purpo...
Seahawks And Trail Blazers Owner Paul Allen Dies Of Cancer At 65
Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder who owned the Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trail Blazers, and part of a stake in Seattle Sounders FC, died today from complications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was 65....
Iowa State Accelerates The Marching Band Arms Race With Inflatable Dinosaur Costumes
Iowa State upset 13th-ranked West Virginia 30-14 Saturday, which is of some consequence in the landscape of college football, but who cares—look at the dinosaurs. There are so many of them!...
Despite Evidence To The Contrary, Adam Thielen Insists His Touchdown Dance Is Cool
The dance isn’t the Bernie. Even though it very much looks like the Bernie, and there’s no significant difference between it and the Bernie, Adam Thielen’s touchdown dance is not the Bernie. The Vikings receiver wants to get that straight....
“At one point during a non-televised break they chanted my name while I danced like a wedding drunk to the O’Jays’ ‘For The Love of Money,’ knowing full well that the song reminds us what money is: The Root of All Evil.” Joe MacLeod wrote a highly entertaining account of his experience on Who Wants ...
Former NFL Linebacker's Solution For The Struggling Eagles: Hump Less
The Eagles are 2-3, but fortunately for them, their division sucks. Former NFL linebacker and Philly news anchor Garry Cobb has a suggestion to get the team back on track: Don’t let the players fuck....
Deadspin Up All Night: Back To The Top Of The Slide
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Later....
"Hold On, Hazel! I Had To Pee!"
Cleveland manager Terry Francona was a little delayed in his mid-inning dugout interview during Saturday’s Game 2 against the Astros, as he timed his bathroom break poorly. That’s how the TBS backhaul caught him buttoning up his pants as he scrambled up to the top step....
The Dolphins Politely Waited Until The Second Half To Doo-Doo Their Pants
The Miami Dolphins started the season 3-0 before they were thoroughly exposed by the Patriots in Week 4. But they’ve always played poorly in Foxboro, so there was a chance to bounce back, albeit on the road against the 3-1 Bengals. On Sunday, the Fins actually held a 17-0 lead in the third quarter—b...
The Raiders Had First-And-Goal At The 1 And Didn't Give It To Marshawn Lynch
Down 20-3 to the Chargers in the third quarter Sunday, the Raiders put together a 74-yard drive and threatened to make it a two-possession game. A defensive pass interference penalty gave Oakland first-and-goal at the one-yard line. Marshawn Lynch was lined up in the backfield. Yes, this is all very...
