Nice Russian Men Bring A Message Of Love To France—But Not In The Gay Way
Through either the power of ABBA or the threat of their team’s expulsion, some Russian fans have taken to heart the need for them to stop kicking the shit out of rival supporters, and instead commune with their soccer-loving brethren. Take the above picture Sky reporter Paul Kelso snapped with some ...
The Blackhawks Made Another Painful Trade
The Stanley Cup is barely parading through the streets of Pittsburgh and hot motherfuckin’ stove season is already underway. The Blackhawks are shipping Teuvo Teravainen (he’s good) and Bryan Bickell (he’s bad) to the Hurricanes in exchange for a 2016 second-round pick and 2017 third-round pick (tha...
A Caucasian's Guide To Spades
Whether it is played in the back of a college cafeteria, at a bachelor party, or during a Black cookout—not a barbecue, because barbecues are different from “cookouts”—no activity solidifies the bonds of melanated people like a game of Spades. The internet will claim that Spades is a member of the “...

Phillies Rookie Pitcher Has Nightmare Debut, Is Chill
Last night, the Philadelphia Phillies handed to ball to rookie pitcher Zach Eflin, who had to make the first start of his big-league career against the Toronto Blue Jays. Eflin, age 22, was a first-round pick in the 2012 draft and posted a 2.90 ERA in 68 innings at Triple A this year. The Phillies a...
Trevor Story Kneecaps Gerardo Parra
The Colorado Rockies are known purveyors of the “Two Guys, One Base” strategy and tonight, they took it too far when Trevor Story ran into Gerardo Parra like an enthused golden retriever going for a ball. He did not get the ball, but he did take out Parra....
Cristiano Ronaldo Is Not Mad. This Is Actually Funny To Him.
Underwear mogul/ab demon Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portuguese teammates opened their Euro 2016 campaign against Iceland today. It was the tiny island’s first European Championship game ever, and they managed to come from behind and tie Portugal, 1-1. Portugal had 27 shots, 10 on goal, and 66 percent...

It’s Time We Talked About The Gawker Sale
For over a year, we at Deadspin have remained fairly quiet about the insane story consuming our parent company, Gawker Media. But while the Hulk Hogan verdict is being appealed and this company is being put up for sale (***flashes bare leg at Mark Cuban***), I think it’s time that we talked openly a...
Steve Kerr Pulled Another Rabbit Out Of His Hat And Ah Fuck It Was James Michael McAdoo
By now we all know the story of Nick U’Ren, the Warriors lackey who, during last year’s Finals, famously suggested to the team’s coaching staff that they start Andre Iguodala for the first time all season. It was a feel-good anecdote to take away from a Finals that at times bordered on nihilistic—a ...
UEFA Promises To Boot Russia From Euros Upon Next Incident Of In-Stadium Fan Violence
Even if more than a couple bigwigs in Russian sport don’t, UEFA apparently does take seriously the problems that Russian hooligans have caused so far in this Euro 2016 tournament—namely, of course, the problem of them beating the life out of dozens of English fans. Today, UEFA announced stiff penalt...
Zack Greinke, Chill Out, My Friend
Zack Greinke left the Dodgers for the huge pile of cash that the Arizona Diamondbacks offered him this offseason, and he tried to show out a bit when he hit what he probably believed to be a donger against his former team. He flipped a itty bitty bat flip to commemorate the occasion. Except, yeah, n...

Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Let’s go....
Marouane Fellaini's Hair Is Real Bad
Regular Fellaini hair: cool. Fellaini hair dunked in a vat of peroxide so that it loses its appealing form and texture and instead resembles an stringy mass of nasty yellow cotton candy: uncool. Stay cool, Fellaini....
Fan Violence Is Out Of Control At Euro 2016
While “fan” violence in Europe in 2016 is, sadly, by no means out of the ordinary, the kinds of sustained and coordinated attacks we’ve seen at such a high-profile international event like Euro 2016 these past few days is pretty shocking. We have Englishmen taunting local fans, locals orchestrating ...
J.R. Smith Gets Into Dustup With Heckling Teens
This past November, Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith was involved in an altercation outside of a pizza shop in New York City. A 19-year-old reportedly claimed Smith attacked him, choked him, and slammed him into a wall in retaliation for a joke about him being traded by the Knicks. Deadspin has ...
Peru Knock Brazil Out Of Copa América On Obvious, Uncalled Handball
Peru earned their first in-competition win over Brazil since 1975 thanks to an incredibly obvious handball that interrupted the game for several minutes and appeared to leave the referee in a state of catatonic confusion....
Watch <i>Hockey Night In Canada's </i>NHL Season-Ending Montage
One of the best moments in sports media every season is the Hockey Night in Canada season-ending montage—an event that takes at least a bit of the edge of sadness off about the season being, you know, over. While the video lacks the shine we saw back when it was produced by CBC, it’s still a must-wa...
