Andrei Kirilenko Was The Weirdest Motherfucker Alive
Yesterday, Andrei Kirilenko announced his retirement from basketball. He’d spent the last few months playing in Russia, after being traded to Philadelphia but refusing to report earlier this season. Over the last few years, Kirilenko had become a sort of NBA background character, more notable for th...
Suburban Northern Virginians' 46 Worst Fears
Yesterday, a New York City man accidentally dropped his keys through a sidewalk subway grate, then fell to the bottom of the shaft when he tried to retrieve them, thus experiencing in short order at least two common fears of city life. In response, The Awl and Gothamist compiled lists of every New Y...
Allen Iverson Has Destroyed The Legacy Of Allen Iverson
As it turns out, the way you stop Allen Iverson is with cheap domestic beer and a good divorce lawyer. Journalist Kent Babb published a biography of the former superstar this week (I recommend it), and there are stories in it about Iverson being, at times, a complete shitbag. To wit:...
A Potent Texan IPA That Doesn't Waste A Drop Of Water
Houston flooded last week, which is both tragic and surprising: The tragedy is self-evident, and the surprise (to me at least) is that Houston is a flooding sort of place. It turns out that Texas isn’t a giant desert, and in fact Houston gets 60 percent more annual precipitation than Seattle, and th...
Deadcast: It's The Goddamn NBA Finals
Hey, the Cavs and the Warriors start the NBA Finals tomorrow night! These fucking teams. They’re so intriguingly matched and sympathetic in various ways … I hate that I cannot hate them more than I would like. But by God, this is Deadspin, and so we will find some way to shit all over them and the c...
Sheryl Sandberg On Her Husband’s Death: "I Want To Choose Life"
Sheryl Sandberg’s husband, Dave Goldberg, died suddenly last month, and today she has spoken in great depth on his passing in a very moving Facebook post. Her honesty and candor are admirable, and her reflections on grief are both true and worth listening to. ...
The <i>Entourage </i>Movie Is The Hate-Watching Event Of The Summer
I’m gonna forego all ceremony and just tell you the best part of the Entourage movie, which is Ronda Rousey’s reading of the line, “I think somebody’s fuckin’ in there.” I will be purchasing this film on Blu-Ray six months hence in hopes of viewing outtakes from this scene. I need variations. “I thi...
Shhh, James Harden's Sleeping
A woman in bed with James Harden snapped this photo of the snoozing Houston Rocket. If he starts tossing and turning, wake him up. He might be having a nightmare about Lil B....
Stay-At-Home Dads Of The World, Unite!
We are a vast, disconnected, sleep-deprived sleeper cell. We are everywhere you look, hiding in plain sight, picking out the just-ripe mangoes at the grocery store or pushing our swinging kids at the playground. We kiss boo-boos, braid hair, and fix the kitchen faucet. Call us Mr. Moms, stay-at-home...

<i>Love & Mercy </i>Brings Brian Wilson's Legend To Life, Twice
The Brian Wilson myth lends itself easily to the biopic treatment—perhaps too easily. In clumsy hands, the Beach Boys co-founder could be reduced to his most infamous, sensationalistic qualities: genius! Recluse! Weirdo! Thankfully, the Wilson-approved Love & Mercy is several degrees smarter and mor...

The Miami Heat Have Big Plans For 2016
Once again, the Heat need Dwyane Wade. Do they need him more than he needs them? It’s going to be an interesting offseason or two....
Beer Is Better Outside (Especially This One)
Yesterday’s Drunkspin celebrated June’s arrival by blabbing about beach beer, which was fun until the whole thing turned out to be a dirty damn tease. While I was inside writing about the perfect low-alcohol ginger-grapefruit beer for lifeguards who want to catch a safe little buzz in the sun, the o...

Cleancast: What's The Worst Thing That Exploded In Your Suitcase?
It’s happened to all of us (even me!): You’re traveling to a tropical locale for a much needed sit-on-the-beach-and-drink-umbrella-cocktails vacation, and your sunscreen explodes all over your luggage en route. Total nightmare time. (Today is the day that we will all commit to a lifetime of packing ...
