The Best Places To Urinate Outside, Ranked
Before we get deep into the bowels of the Funbag, one quick note: I’m out next week on Spring Break with my kids. This will not be like your Spring Break. Your Spring Break will be in Lake Havasu surrounded by fruity drinks and horny twentysomethings. I, on the other hand, will be stuck in Virginia ...
Deadspin Up All Night: Just Spread
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Bless 3 Stacks, especially when he says more than 2 words....
Apple Released Some New Junk Today. Do You Need It?
I watched my first Apple keynote today. I enjoyed it, because it was a window into an amusing culture. But I did not see much that I wanted to throw money at, and you probably won’t either....
Jay Glazer Has Very Strange Ideas About Football, The Military, CTE, And PTSD
Last Friday, NFL insider and MMA enthusiast Jay Glazer went on Bill Simmons’s podcast to talk about football, MMA, and his ongoing feud with ESPN’s NFL reporters. At one point, the conversation turned to football’s relationship with CTE, and things got very weird....
Some Soccer Fans In Spain Rushed The Pitch And Stabbed A Player In The Heart
Stories about violence during soccer matches are becoming so routine that they don’t really need much in the way of a lead-in. Alhaurín de la Torre’s 24-year-old forward Samuel G.P. played an away match for the club’s B-team on Sunday. At the end of it, some fans stormed the field and apparently tri...
<i>The Portable Veblen </i>Mixes Uneasy Marital Comedy With Psychic Squirrels, As One Does
Thorstein Veblen was a Norwegian-American writer and economist famous for decrying conspicuous consumption, getting run out of teaching jobs at Stanford and the University of Chicago in the early 1900s, and cataloging the psychological trauma of capitalism. All of which makes him a rather strange na...
Fans Are Trolling A Gag "LaRoche Family Recovery Fund"
I can’t get enough of this Drake LaRoche thing. It’s the best, dumbest, most baseball controversy I can imagine. Adam Eaton saying of a 14-year-old boy that “we lost a leader?” Love it. Unnamed White Sox players finally emerging to say actually, it kind of sucks to have a teen in our workplace every...
Jason Chimera Scores Header Goal
The hockey header goal: it is a rare hybrid of sorts, blending parts of both ice hockey and soccer in what sports legend tells us is a myth, but actually happened last night as the Capitals’ Jason Chimera knocked a puck into the net with his noggin and it counted....
UNI Blows A 12-Point Lead: The Supercut
We’re still all trying to figure out how UNI blew a 12-point lead in 44 seconds, but in the meantime here’s the entire sequence compressed into less than a minute of painful, painful video. (Unless you’re an Aggies fan, that is, or one of those insufferable people who cheer for “the SEC.”)...
The Greatest Comeback In The History Of College Hoops Is Still Unthinkable
“I wish I could get some time back,” said Northern Iowa’s Paul Jesperson, but the problem for the Panthers wasn’t really that there was not enough time, was it? Up 12 points on Texas A&M, 44 seconds remaining, a Sweet 16 berth within view, just about every metric and every win probability calculator...
Wisconsin Upsets Xavier With Buzzer-Beater
Bronson Koenig’s three-pointer as time expired finished a late comeback by Wisconsin as the Badgers knocked off second-seeded Xavier, 66-63. Wisconsin was down as much as nine points in the final seven minutes of the game, but a series of Musketeers mistakes allowed the Badgers back into the game....

It Looks Like A Bunch Of White Sox Players Had A Problem With Adam LaRoche's Teen Son
The continuing controversy over Adam LaRoche retiring because the White Sox wouldn’t let his teen son Drake hang out in the clubhouse every day shouldn’t still be this funny, and yet, here we find ourselves this morning, with Adam Eaton saying things like this....
So, Exactly How Historic Was Middle Tennessee State's Upset?
After Denzel Valentine collapsed, Michael Jordan cried, and Middle Tennessee State was done celebrating their 90-81 win over Michigan State, people started to contextualize the historic upset. Michigan State was a two-seed, sure, but they were among the favorites to win the whole shit. The NCAA said...
Northern Iowa's Incredible Half-Court Buzzer-Beater, As Called On UNI Radio
It’s almost twelve hours later, and we’re still pinching ourselves in disbelief that Northern Iowa’s Paul Jesperson made the half-court buzzer-beater to down Texas last night. Here’s how Panthers Radio play-by-play man Gary Rima called it live on KXEL in Cedar Rapids....

Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Onward....
Here's Borussia Mönchengladbach With A Great Piece Of Own-Goal Incompetence
On one hand, this comically ridiculous own goal does a disservice to the impressive work Schalke’s Leroy Sané put into creating it. On the other, the three deft little flicks Gladbach’s defenders ping back and forth between each other would be impressive—Arsenal-esque, even—if only they weren’t send...
