DeMarcus Cousins And Chris Paul Are Still Going With The NBA's Most Vertically Offset Beef
Boogie Cousins and Chris Paul are probably the two most easily riled up dudes in the Pacific Division, so even though they don’t play the same position, it makes sense that they could very well find themselves beefing. They’re pretty good foils for each other, all told: both guys play with an unveil...

Bellator Match Ends With Knocked-Out Dude Taking Several More Punches To Head

It's 2016 And You Can Still Watch Steve Yzerman Score On Patrick Roy
Ciccarelli. Ysebaert. Lidstrom. Primeau. Cheveldae. Growing up in northwest Ohio and well within the night-time range of Detroit’s WJR-AM, these Detroit Red Wings players were my earliest hockey heroes. The opportunity to see some of them skate again no doubt drives the NHL’s Alumni series, which th...

Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. It’s been our pleasure....
I Want To Go To This Owl Cafe So Bad
I am unsure about owls. They are neat and smart and bizarre and expressive, but they are birds, and birds should generally not be trusted. Still, I would and inevitably will spend a good deal of my life savings to travel to Japan, land of cool weird shit, to visit this owl cafe....
Russian Bear Receives Snacks, Exacts Revenge
Here we have some Russian clowns, seemingly in the midst of a deforestation campaign, happening upon a brown bear. They give the bear a snack, which they surely believe makes them pals. Guess again, clowns:...
Here's A Video Of 35 Times Stephen Curry Hit A Shot From 28+ Feet This Season
Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is en route to demolishing his own NBA single-season three-pointer record, and if the quantity weren’t astonishing enough consider this: at least 35 of the 276 threes Curry has hit this season have been from 28 feet or further, more than four feet behind the three-po...

Fast-Food Smackdown: Burger King's Jalapeño Chicken Fries Vs. Taco Bell's Quesalupa
Life, being pain, will sometimes trap even the most careful fast-foodie in the burgerless hellscape of a bullshit “real” restaurant that offers six total options: beef, chicken, this kind of fish, that kind of fish, some mushroom-pasta thing, and a wild card that is probably duck or beans. The meat-...
James Harden Saved The Day
Time zones are weird. Here on the East Coast, the Houston Rockets had a really, really lousy February 25th, and it was all James Harden’s fault; on the West Coast, it turned out okay, all thanks to James Harden....
Rockets CEO Denies That His Team Is A Big Fucking Mess
Despite getting a nice win over the Blazers and a superstar performance out of James Harden last night, the 29-29 Houston Rockets are still in a bad place. They failed to trade Dwight Howard, the one deadline deal they did pull off fell apart because of a failed physical, and now it’s been reported ...

Chicago ABC station WLS did not start today off on the right foot, as we see in this OTS image attempting to illustrate the Laquan McDonald case....
Goodness, This Isaiah Thomas Pass
I’ve been repeatedly watching the replay of this no-look, behind-the-head pass from Isaiah Thomas that set up Jae Crowder’s game-sealing three, trying to figure out at what point Thomas spotted Crowder on the wing, and I never see him glance over there. But it sounds like it might be one of those sp...

The Warriors Are The Best Team Ever, And They Can Eat Shit
Earlier today in Deadspin’s staff chat room, our editor Tim Marchman and I floated the idea of a “Fuck The Warriors” post, which would fully acknowledge everything great and fun and astonishing about these Golden State Warriors but also air out the completely irrational hatred he and I both feel tow...

So here we have one of the greatest social commentators of his generation presiding over a ceremony that is in DESPERATE need of a public fl...
Nets Release Joe Johnson, Who Can Still Help A Lot Of Teams
The Brooklyn Nets are a sad, burned-out husk of a team with no clear direction. Today, they did what a bad team with a bloated payroll does and bought out seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson....
