The NFL Split $7.2 Billion In Revenue Sharing Last Year
You don’t get much for owning a share of the Packers besides a pretty certificate—the shares are non-tradable and don’t pay dividends. But we all benefit from Green Bay being the only publicly owned major American pro sports team, because each year they have to release their financials. The numbers ...
Jeffrey Webb Secures $10 Million Bond With A Shitload Of Luxury Goods

Phil Jackson Has No Problem Dumping On Ex-Knicks
Do you wish you were a fly on the wall of the New York Knicks’ basura 2014-15 season? Of course not, but Charley Rosen was, and he’s filing dispatches to ESPN from the one day each month he spent with Phil Jackson during the course of it. He’s now up to January 10, four days after the Knicks traded ...

Bryce Harper Doesn't Think Zack Greinke Is All That Impressive
Dodgers starter Zack Greinke is on a hell of a roll right now, having not allowed an earned run in his last 43 and two-thirds innings. He extended his streak of scoreless innings—the most since Orel Hersheiser pitched 59 straight shutout frames in 1988—with a dominant outing against the Nationals ye...
Mexico Beat Costa Rica On Bullshit Penalty

Oops, She Did It Again: Dibaba Sets World Record At 1500 Meters
Ethiopian Genzebe Dibaba crushed a field of the world’s best women in the 1500 meter business yesterday, July 17th, at a Diamond League meet in Monaco.

PSA: Don't Leave Tyrann Mathieu Or Animals Or Kids In Hot Cars
Cardinals safety Tyrann “Honey Badger” Mathieu teamed up with PETA to make this video showing the effects on a healthy adult of sitting in a car on a hot day. It was 90 degrees outside, and within eight minutes it was 120 degrees inside. If Mathieu couldn’t make it just eight minutes without getting...
<i>Road House </i>Is Patrick Swayze's Finest Hour, And Also America's
Here’s something fun: Imagine the conversations that Terry Funk, the eternally grizzled pro wrestler, and John Doe, the co-leader of the great art-punk band X, had on the set of Road House. By 1989, the year that this beautifully ridiculous action flick hit theaters, those two were legends in their ...
Fuck Fabric Softener
Welcome back to Laundry School! This week, as promised, I’m taking your questions about the products that we use in our laundry, with a focus today more on dryer and drying-related products than last week’s lesson, which was more washer-focused, centering on detergents and boosters. ...

This Water Slide Is So Long I Think I'd Get Bored Halfway Down
Action Park, in northern New Jersey, unveiled this absurd 1,975-foot water slide last week, and it has since been verified by Guinness as the longest in the world. Water slides are great, of course, and you’d think the longer they are the better. But about a minute into this ride, I’d already be won...

George Karl Met DeMarcus Cousins And It Was Suuuuuuper Awkward
Sometimes the universe is good to us, like when it brings us video of George Karl and DeMarcus Cousins meeting at a Summer League game—for what is likely the first time since Karl began doing everything in his power to alienate his team’s only star player—and allowing us to bask in the incredible aw...

Cleancast: You've Got Armpit Woes, I've Got Solutions
My guest this week on the official Ask a Clean Person podcast is Deadspin’s own Greg Howard, who joined me to talk about how our editor in chief, Tim Marchman, is so deeply wrong about air conditioning.
