White Sox fill manager slot by exhuming corpse of Tony La Russa
It is impossible to accurately describe how confounding the White Sox hiring of Tony La Russa as manager is. That adjective is not even close to properly illustrating the shock, confusion, and anger of just about anyone around the club today. It’s like staring at a car crash, but both vehicles were ...
The NHL clears Dale Tallon because it's the NHL
Dale Tallon wasn’t fired by the Florida Panthers because of the allegation that he used “racially charged language” during the team’s time in the Toronto playoff bubble. Tallon was fired because he spent a decade running a team without winning a single playoff round. The racism stuff only surfaced a...
Baseball’s winter of cost-savings discontent begins as cheapskate Cards cut Wong
It used to be the hot stove, and fans used to get excited about it right after the last out of the World Series. A ray of hope, provided by the wishful thinking that it could be your team ending the season on a podium with Rob Manfred as he gets booed next year. But in a preview of what’s to come ar...
Screw the rules! Our jerseys look like vomit now
The photo above is not part of an energy drink advertisement, nor is it some sort of misguided Tron cosplay. It is, in fact, the latest aesthetic for hockey’s Dallas Stars, whose apparent quest to become that city’s most toxic franchise has taken a literal turn....

Ryquell Armstead, 23-year-old running back, sidelined for season with COVID complications
After spending a rookie season behind Leonard Fournette in 2019, Ryquell Armstead was supposed to contend for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ starting job. Yesterday, ESPN reported that the second-year back will miss the remainder of the season due to COVID....
Arizona Coyotes draft racist dickhead
The Arizona Coyotes aren’t good at anything. Their on-ice product has sucked for a decade. They bilked Glendale into paying for their arena, but forgot that no one wants to drive to Glendale to see their shit-ass product....
Odell Beckham tears ACL, Cowboys defense plays worse than Trump’s re-election strategy, and D.K. Metcalf wins the amazing race
After another week of monitoring COVID results, tracking injury reports, and watching the NFC East make a mockery of football, Week 7 in the NFL is nearly concluded. ...
The Dallas Cowboys are truly 'America's Team'
I and many others have lamented the exposure the Dallas Cowboys get, despite the team being a complete waste of everyone’s time. ESPN, NBC, FOX — they can’t wait to lustily paste the Star of Texas on their prime windows, and yet all the ‘Boys do is throw up masticated foodstuffs pretty much every ti...
With COVID-19 outbreaks linked to ice rinks, how will college hockey even start?
When the coronavirus pandemic hit America earlier this year, one of the first sporting events to be canceled was college hockey’s Frozen Four. It’s a sign of how badly things have gone here that it’s getting harder and harder to see the way to the event taking place in 2021, because at the moment, t...
Daniel Jones brings us all together with less threatening incompetence than debate
There wasn’t much to choose from on Thursday night, that is if you didn’t opt to stream a show you hadn’t gotten to or finished yet to shut out reality. I hear the new season of Fargo is good. If you were looking for live entertainment, your choices boiled down to which version of two balloon-handed...
Minor League Baseball players are justifiably sick of earning ‘$4 an hour’
For many hardcore baseball fans (like me, before I began researching this story), the idea of playing in Minor League Baseball is like the dream before the dream comes true. Sure, we know there are long bus rides, the pay is lousy and there’s a good chance you can end up at Sears selling Lady Kenmor...
John Wall was way too busy playing spades to pay attention during an ESPN interview
Some things in life cannot wait. ...
The NFC East is bad at football - so get ready to see it showcased on Thursday night
If the NFL were high school, the NFC East is comprised of players who couldn’t make the varsity football team, so they branch off and start another “district.” All seniors but not good enough to make varsity. ...
Cowboys are so dreadful maybe Dak Prescott shouldn't want to come back
We had thought that Dak Prescott’s ankle crumbled under his weight and that of his tackler last Sunday. What we found out last night was it actually collapsed under the weight of carrying this wagon train of manure that’s known as the Dallas Cowboys....
An early check-in on the quarterback class of 2018
Since 1983, only three NFL drafts have produced five or more quarterbacks in the first round....
If America’s racial reckoning were real, violent lunatic Gregg Marshall would already be fired
A few months ago, white athletes and coaches were marching and standing alongside their Black teammates and players in unity. They had supposedly seen the light. It was finally time for change....

Deadspin is proud to introduce its weekly #TankforTrevor Powerless Rankings, where we examine the sorriest teams in the league who have the best chance of selecting Clemson star quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the 2021 NFL draft....
Yale hockey follows strict protocols, still sees 18/19 players test positive for COVID-19

SEE IT! Taiwanese baseball player robs homer, but plays possum & lets batter circle bases before revealing prize
