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. ...
Novak Djokovic Just Dominated Rafael Nadal At The French Open
So, it turns out what I and others thought was going to be the greatest quarterfinal in tennis history was...umm, not even close, as Novak Djokovic handled nine-time champion Rafael Nadal in straight sets, 7-5, 6-3, 6-1....
This Nadal-Djokovic Point Is Absurd
Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are currently playing the French Open in what looked to be the greatest quarterfinal in tennis history, and points like this one only go to show that maybe—just maybe—this match is going to live up to the hype....
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...
Will Canada Earn The Right To Get Knocked Out By The USWNT Again?
The stage is set. Fresh off of their best-ever result in a major tournament (a bronze in the 2012 London Olympics) that climaxed with probably the sport’s greatest-ever game, Canada enter this summer’s World Cup on home soil turf with, as Beatrix Kiddo would say, some unfinished business. Unfortunat...
Joey Gallo Is Already Raking
Rangers third baseman Joey Gallo made his major league debut tonight, and I can already tell that he is going to be one of my favorite baseball players. Basically, every time he comes to the plate, Gallo swings as hard as he possibly can. This results in a ludicrous number of strikeouts, but an equa...

These Degenerate Emailers Want The Full Soccer Player Orgy Video, Please
Since we wrote on Sunday about the orgy in Thailand involving three Leicester City players, we’ve received a few requests for the full video, as if Deadspin is a subscription service hoarding soccer player orgies unless contacted by email. The inquiries:...
Roger Goodell Will Hear Tom Brady's Appeal, Says "My Mind Is Open"
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has denied the NFLPA’s request to recuse himself from overseeing Tom Brady’s appeal of his four-game Ballghazi suspension. He insists that he can be a fair and unbiased administrator, even though he was the one who handed down the suspension in the first place:...
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....
Adrian Peterson Gives In, Will Report To Vikings Practice
The monthslong staredown between Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings appears to be settled, if far from amicably: Peterson has announced that he will rejoin the team for OTAs later today, apparently without getting the new contract he wanted. Though Peterson is 30 years old and will be the hig...

Men Should (Usually) Not Wear Sandals
This is going to come as a surprise to some of you gentlemen, but you cannot wear the same ratty running shoes to everything. It’s summer now, and you’re going to have to put at least a little bit of (warm and sunny) thought into your footwear....
Lionel Messi's Copa Del Rey Wondergoal, As Called Around The World

FIFA Sponsors Double Down On Endorsement Of Slavery
If you expected this week’s sham re-election of Sepp Blatter after a massive federal corruption takedown to be the final straw in corporate slave sponsors’ relationship with FIFA, you have far too optimistic a view of the world. McDonald’s, Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola, Visa, and other FIFA sponsors ar...
A Tale Of Two Goalies In Game 7
Henrik Lundqvist isn’t supposed to lose Game 7. And to be fair, New York’s 2-0 loss to Tampa Bay last night was in no way Lundqvist’s fault. For two periods New York’s attack was ineffectual, and its defense allowed the Lightning to get off a number of quality shots. Lundqvist saved them all. Even t...
