How Do You Follow Up The Biggest Tragedy In X Games History?
There’s always buzz in the weeks leading up to the X Games about what insane, unprecedented maneuvers you might see. Max Parrot might try the quadruple underflip. Marcus Kleveland may go for the first quad cork. The 1620 is the new 1440. These promises, of things we’ve never seen before, are the rea...
Look At These Wonderful Gifts JaVale McGee Got For His Teammates
Deadspin favorite JaVale McGee has found himself a productive and comfortable place on the Warriors’ bench. In addition to providing the team with some dunks and rebounds in his short minutes, he’s also giving solid gifts....
Player Gets Mad After Tackle At The Pro Bowl<em></em>
The Pro Bowl happened yesterday, with a final score of Whatever to Who Cares. The most interesting part of the game was when Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander actually tried for a few moments and laid into Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham, in a one-score game with less than two minutes left. Graham ...
Borussia Dortmund Will Soon Be So Damn Good
In what has been a pretty tame January transfer window—unless Manchester United discarding spare parts gets you excited—Borussia Dortmund made perhaps the biggest splash today when they signed 17-year-old Swedish phenom Alexander Isak, along with extending the contract of the world’s future best pla...
Paul Daley Takes Out Brennan Ward With Flying Knee To The Head

Caleb Ewan Is Ready To Be A Star
The first race of the road cycling season, Australia’s Tour Down Under, tends to be an imprecise predictor of future form for climbers and all-rounders. A rider who is keyed in and prepared to tackle Old Wilunga Hill at the season-opening kangaroo fest (really) will not necessarily be able to carry ...
A-Rod's New TV Show Sounds Sort Of Sad
I am all in on rehabbing-his-image Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod the apologetic scholar, businessman, devoted dad, analyst and Pete Rose antagonist—I eat that shit up. If you think about the trajectory of his career, it makes perfect sense that his apparent next step is to become a reality TV host:...
Alex Ovechkin Didn't Wait Long To Score His 1,000th Point
Everything about Alexander Ovechkin’s 1,000th career point was fitting: that it came on a goal, that it happened just 35 seconds in the game, and that he went back out and scored another one later on....
That Last Alabama Drive Was Terrifying
More than any other team in sports, Alabama football feels the most futile to root against. Over and over, they’ve stamped out nascent comebacks with two well-timed turnovers or turned a 14-10 game into a 28-10 game in two minutes of work. These are the sorts of ways you can win games when you’re bi...
Roger Federer Is Back, But The Youngsters Are Coming For Him
Lay out all the usual lame disclaimers: it’s Roger Federer’s first tournament back in the game since he hurt his knee giving his kids a bath and decided to take the whole rest of the season off. It’ll take him a while to get back to form, even his late-career, step-slower form. And the Hopman Cup is...

Warriors center JaVale McGee and Shaquille O’Neal have a unique relationship, in that Shaq makes fun of McGee on TV, and McGee gets angry at him....
Bills GM's Press Conference Really Couldn't Have Gone Much Worse
Bills GM Doug Whaley is facing the music today, giving an end-of-season press conference after a mess of a year and apparently failing to inspire much confidence that the Bills are internally healthy and ready for a turnaround....
The Child, Now A Man, Waited 10 Years For This Day Of Revenge
Way back in 2006, an 11-year-old boy sent a letter to his favorite hockey player, young Caps superstar Alexander Ovechkin. The letter contained a hockey card, and a self-addressed stamped envelope, and a note to Ovechkin. No, not a note—a threat....

Prosecutors Say Aaron Hernandez Got A Tattoo Commemorating 2012 Double-Homicide
Prosecutors described in court yesterday a tattoo they say Aaron Hernandez got in early 2013, which they claim depicts the gun and five bullets Hernandez allegedly used to shoot and kill Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado outside of a Boston nightclub in 2012. ...
