Olympic Curling Qualifier Gets Hamstrung By Politeness, Finishes With Insane Danish Shot
One of curling’s unusual features, other than everything else, has been its politeness and sportsmanship.

Francis Ngannou's "Uppercut From Hell" Is Just The Beginning
With all due respect to the first minute of this weekend’s Alistair Overeem-Francus Ngannou fight at UFC 218, in which the two heavyweights hung out at the fence and just sort of idly touched bellies until the referee intervened, Overeem was essentially unconscious as soon as the fight began. In the...

What The 2024 Olympics Will And Won't Do For Paris
You already know what is worth celebrating about the Olympics. You may know this because the Olympics will not stop reminding you of them, but this does not mean they’re not real. The spirit of sportsmanship is not just a cliché for the telecast, and the games really do give women athletes, underval...

The second annual Deadspin Awards would not have been complete without a visit from our only true friend, Daniel Radcliffe. He was once again kind enough to present the award for Worst Tweet:...
Michael Schur Presented The Deadspin Award For Worst Take
The second annual Deadspin Awards were on Tuesday night. Drinks were had, middling jokes were told, and our friends and readers managed not to make a scene (except for this guy).

Deadspin Staffers, In The Order They Finally Got To Work The Morning After The Deadspin Awards
Last night was the Deadspin Awards. It was fun! A lot of fun. Maybe too much fun for a Tuesday. This morning, I have been keeping a running list of when the writers and editors of this site first demonstrated that they survived the open bar and post-show karaoke. It’s been pretty grim....
