Should The U.S. Boycott The Rio Olympics?
Oh, hey, looks like Olympic organizers in Rio won’t be able to clear the water of raw sewage in time for this summer’s Olympics. How much danger does poop water present to our athletes, and should we consider, you know, NOT making them compete in poop water by boycotting the whole thing? That’s just...
Casual Dining Restaurants, Ranked
A couple days back, Complex published an interview with Allen Iverson, which you should most definitely read, if you want. In it, there were lots of good tidbits, but perhaps the primo tidbit came when Iverson swore his allegiance to T.G.I. Friday’s, which is something (erroneously!) attributed to h...
The Knicks Made Carmelo Anthony Apologize For The Dumbest Thing
Ah yes, we’re finally right back where we belong, in a world where the New York Knicks aren’t a surprising feel-good story, but a bumbling franchise that specializes in pulling bad PR out of thin air. I’m actually surprised it took us this long to get back here....
Let's Throw Some Ideas For Stopping Steph Curry Against The Wall!
After the Warriors stormed back to defeat the Thunder 121-118 in overtime on Saturday night to improve to 53-5 (16-0 against the top 10 teams in the NBA), and with NBA legend Oscar Robertson’s grousing fresh in everybody’s minds, our Kevin Draper and Albert Burneko exchanged some emails about how to...
Washington, D.C. Makes Sure No Billionaire Sports Team Owner Is Left Behind
On February 18, construction crews began knocking down sections of St. Elizabeth’s, the Washington, D.C. psychiatric hospital famous for having housed, among others, John Hinckley, Josh Gibson. and the Shotgun Stalker. Mayor Muriel Bowser got in an excavator to kick off the demolition of Buildings #...
The Thunder Are Sounding Pretty Grim After Their Collapse Against The Clippers
This will sound deeply strange, but: the Thunder are in survival mode. With the West shaking out the way it has, even a team as good as OKC has no shot at catching Golden State or San Antonio—they’re now 9.5 games back of the Spurs with 21 games left to play. All the Thunder functionally have left t...
Some Top Notch Free Throw Distractors Worked The Rockets Game Tonight
I don’t know what to say about all these women attempting to distract Pelicans free throw shooters in Houston tonight, except that they’re certainly committed to their craft. I mean, for the above screenshotted gag, they got two children(?) to play Thing 1 and Thing 2 to accompany their sexy Cat in ...
Deadspin Up All Night: That's The Way That It Goes
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. It’s okay to be in a good mood, if you ask me....
Small Child Cooks Kristaps Porzingis, Eats Him, Dabs
Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis had to go to some promotional event today and entertain some jamokes with a few half-hearted games of 1-on-1. He probably should have taken this kid a bit more seriously:...
A Proud Parent's Guide To Dominating Girl Scout Cookie Season
For all the fathers and mothers out there, when Girl Scout Cookie season rolls around, your first and foremost emotion should be relief. It could be worse: You could be dealing with a Boy Scout instead. Those poor saps have to sell popcorn. It’s clearly an inferior product. Everyone loves cookies!...
Oklahoma City Thunder Part-Owner Dies In Car Crash One Day After Being Indicted
Thunder part-owner and former Chesapeake Energy CEO Aubrey McClendon died in a car crash this morning in Oklahoma City, a day after being indicted on charges that could have put him in prison for decades....
Republican Voters Vote For A Very Republican Republican
Back in August, I wrote a post accusing the political media of covering Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy more, and more seriously, than it deserved. “Stop Pretending Donald Trump Is Running For President,” I titled the post. D’oh....
Bougie Food Review: Snapea Crisps
Everybody has different wacky opinions on dieting, but most agree on one thing: Dieting at McDonald’s is bad and useless. “What’s even the point of getting a large Diet Coke with a Big Mac and fries?” is probably something you’ve heard before. Until recently, I shared that sentiment as well....
Draymond Green Proves That Steals Can Be Highlights
Draymond Green had a big game last night, helping the Steph Curry-less Warriors scratch out an overtime win against the Hawks. He swelled the box score as usual, finishing with 15 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists and four steals. He also hit an absurd shot in the final minute of OT to help put the gam...
Kevin Garnett Tells Eric Gordon Exactly What He Thinks Of Him
Kevin Garnett may not have been fit enough to play in Saturday’s game against the Pelicans, but he still came to arena ready to talk some shit. That’s because KG is always ready to talk some shit....
D'Angelo Russell Caps Career Night By Pointing Out The Ice In His Veins
There’s still a decent chunk of games left in the NBA season, but I feel pretty comfortable naming Lakers rookie D’Angelo Russell’s swaggering reaction to his clutch three the winner of the 2015-16 Feeling Yourself Award. (Sorry, Evan Turner. Better luck next year.)...
Carmelo Anthony Tells Heckler To Go Bother Knicks Owner Instead
The excitement of having a good, young player has worn off, and Knicksdom has returned to its resting state: terrible and depressing. But still remarkably expensive, especially if you were fool enough to spring for floor seats. Like the dude who got kicked out for heckling Carmelo Anthony with four ...
Curt Schilling Is Back With Some Takes On Hillary Clinton And Donald Trump
With the interminably long primary season crawling towards the election, you should probably expect to hear a lot from ESPN baseball analyst Curt Schilling. He has (somewhat) toned down the social media postings that got him into trouble with his employer, but he’s going to continue offering his pol...
Oklahoma City Thunder Part-Owner Indicted For Bid-Rigging Oil And Gas Land Leases
Oklahoma City Thunder part-owner Aubrey McClendon—who owns 20 percent of the team and was part of the group that bought the then-Seattle SuperSonics from Howard Schultz and moved them to Oklahoma City—was charged today by the Justice Department with violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. Each charge c...
