Saints Hit Back At Navy Vet Who Refused To Accept Award From Team
The New Orleans Saints wanted to honor Navy veteran John Wells at this weekend’s game by giving him an award for his life accomplishments. Wells, who is the executive director of the Military Veterans Advocacy group, declined the award....
David Fizdale Calls Out Mario Chalmers: "His Brain Was Gone"
The Memphis Grizzlies are in a tough spot. They are a perennial playoff team on the descent, not good enough to do much more than scrap for tough wins every night and compete for a bottom-rung playoff spot. Things got a little worse last night, with star point guard Mike Conley on the bench with an ...
Brock's Back
Let’s do a quick rundown of what has happened to Brock Osweiler over the last two seasons: With Peyton Manning hurt for a good chunk of the 2015 season, Osweiler played in eight games for the Broncos and did Fine, leading the team to a 5-3 record and throwing 10 touchdowns. He was meant to be Mannin...
Joc Pederson Won't Say Who Has To Pay Him
If the Dodgers go on to win the World Series tonight, one of the more enduring images of the series will be Joc Pederson turning to his own dugout, rubbing his fingers together, and shouting, “Pay me my money!” after his seventh-inning homer in Game 6....

Welcome to Bad Quarterback Performance Of The Week, a recurring feature in which we celebrate the worst quarterback play the NFL has to offer....
Kristaps Porzingis Is All Right
This feels like a weird thing to say given how much attention has been paid to Kristaps Porzingis since he entered the league two seasons ago, but we are just now starting to see what the big boy can do—not because he’s suddenly unearthed some skills we were previously unaware of, but because he’s f...

Mark Dantonio Has A <i>Moana</i> Ringtone [Update: Or Not!]
Have you ever wondered what Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio’s ringtone is? Well, here you go:...
JuJu Smith-Schuster Is Having A Ball
It’s been a weird rookie season for Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who last week was unwillingly pulled into a one-sided beef with teammate Martavis Bryant before having his bike stolen. But during last night’s game against the Lions, he had about as much fun as a football player can possibl...
Poor Brandon Morrow Never Should Have Been Out There
Major-league pitchers are talented enough, and managers are cautious enough, that you rarely see a baseball game featuring a pitcher so fatigued and overmatched that he just doesn’t belong on the mound. Last night, the Dodgers and Brandon Morrow showed us what that scenario looks like....
Deadspin Up All Night: I'm Starting To Get Used To The Gaps

Jim Tomsula Is Back Where He Belongs
Here is a brief clip of Washington defensive line coach Jim Tomsula firing up his players before Sunday’s game against the Eagles. He looks at his linemen and yells, “Everybody play naked! Butt-ass naked! Everybody play butt-ass naked!”...
Why Fire A Winning Manager?
News just broke that the New York Yankees, a team that well exceeded expectations this season and made it to Game 7 of the ALCS, have fired manager Joe Girardi. Based on a statement Girardi gave to WFAN, this does not appear to be a mutual parting....
The Astros Got The Dodgers Where It Hurts
Of all the ways the Dodgers demonstrated their invulnerability through the first nine games of the postseason, perhaps none was more disheartening to their opponents than the strength of the bullpen. Last night, the Astros found some heart....
Now Lonzo Ball Has John Wall To Deal With
We’ve already seen the impact of LaVar Ball’s tryhard dad-bluster in the way his son was treated on the court by Patrick Beverley, but it seemed unfair to draw too big an inference from that. That’s because Patrick Beverley is, if you want to be nice about it, a particularly feisty brand of point gu...
Markelle Fultz Has Been<em></em> Mercifully Shelved
Sixers point guard Markelle Fultz has had one of the strangest starts to an NBA career in recent memory. Hopefully he’ll end up having a long and productive one, and these first two weeks will become something he can laugh about....
Three Sick LeBron James Passes
The Cavs are and will remain a bit of a mess at the point guard position until Isaiah Thomas manages to return from his hip injury. One luxury they enjoy, however, is the ability to plug the best player in the world into any lineup hole and perform at an all-world level....

That Was Carson Wentz's Breakout Party
Carson Wentz had a good rookie season, and he’s been playing great so far in his second year, but last night felt like a turning point. Maybe people put too much stock into players having big performances in nationally televised games—Doing It On The Big Stage, as it were—but Wentz looked like a sup...
T.Y. Hilton Apologizes For Correctly Pointing Out His Teammates Suck<em></em>
The Indianapolis Colts lost 27-0 to the Jaguars on Sunday, and in the process allowed quarterback Jacoby Brissett to be sacked 10 times. The Colts have been losing games like this for awhile now, because the organization does not seem to believe in employing competent offensive lineman, and after th...
