Classic Man: "Traditionalists May Favor The Left For Locating The Standard Part"
Frequently in this space, we will consult a different entry in the 1987 book The Modern Man’s Guide to Life to see how the advice therein has aged. On Wednesday, we discussed how to orient yourself in the wilderness; today, we address how to style your hair....
Which Sports Organization Has The Most Email Addresses Registered On Ashley Madison?
The Ashley Madison stolen data dump is full of interesting information, and as the fervent searching continues we thought we’d do a simple breakdown of email registrations to find which sports organization has the most emails attached to accounts on the dating website for cheaters....
Dez Bryant To Handwringing Columnist: "You Are A Sucky Writer"
David Moore of the Dallas Morning News played Preseason Concern-Trolling Mad Libs today, filling in enough blanks to wring out a take on Dez Bryant, who’s conveniently been involved in two training camp fights. According to Moore, this latest fight makes Bryant ... a problem? Who knows, because Moor...
RGIII Was Thrown To The Wolves
It’s a scene we’ve seen before: Robert Griffin III, lying motionless on the turf as he’s attended to by Washington’s medical staff. Last night’s preseason concussion, for which coach Jay Gruden is being blasted for leaving Griffin in behind a painfully overmatched offensive line, is all too familiar...
Baylor’s Investigation Of Sam Ukwuachu Was Shameful
As awareness has spread about rape—and pressure has increased on universities to prevent and address it among their students—two justice systems have formed. There’s the one we’ve had for centuries: the cops, the courts, and if it goes to trial, a verdict. Now there’s a second track, one where unive...
RGIII Has A Concussion, But You Wouldn't Know It From Official 'Skins TV
Tonight’s official presentation of the Detroit-Washington game on the Redskins Broadcast Network left viewers understandably confused about Robert Griffin III’s condition after leaving the game tonight in the second quarter due to injury. That’s mostly because the network repeatedly asserted the tea...
Baylor Player Found Guilty Of Sexual Assault
A Texas court has found Baylor Bears football player Sam Ukwuachu guilty of sexual assault. Ukwuachu, 22, was indicted of two counts of sexual assault by a former Baylor soccer player in October 2013. His trial began Tuesday....
Robert Griffin III Leaves Preseason Game With Shoulder Injury (UPDATE)
For some reason, Robert Griffin III stayed in Washington’s meaningless preseason game against the Detroit Lions for four series. Because Washington was missing Trent Williams and the rest of their offensive line is made of paper, Griffin got walloped half a dozen times before hurting his shoulder in...
Derek Jeter Got Mad At The Yankees Because They Thought Troy Tulowitzki Was Better
The Yankees’ pinstriped hard-on for Troy Tulowitzki was an open secret. Every season was supposed to be the one that the shortstop was finally traded to usurp Derek Jeter in New York. Also as well-known was the strained relationship between Jeter and GM Brian Cashman, though no one would talk about ...

Jason Williams Will Never Stop Doing Cool Stuff On The Basketball Court
It’s been nearly a year since we last checked in on White Chocolate, who is once again strutting his stuff at the Orlando Pro Am. Williams is 39 now, and I fully expect these highlight reels to keep popping up until he is 50. ...
The IAAF's New President Is On Nike's Payroll
Brit Sebastian Coe, better known to friends and family as Lord Coe, was voted in as the president of the International Association of Athletics Federations over the only other contender, Russian Sergey Bubka. For the past eight years, Coe has been an IAAF vice-president, and also takes credit for pu...

Why Your Team Sucks 2015: Kansas City Chiefs
Some people are fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. This 2015 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here....
Clinton Portis, Lil B, And The Internet's Most Stolen Joke
Joke theft is a hot topic at the moment: with perpetrators like The Fat Jew finally facing repercussions for their comedy larceny and Twitter removing plagiarized tweets, it appears we’ve reached a day of reckoning for those who lack the wit to write their own jokes....
Do You Know Why Winona State's Basketball Coach Suddenly Resigned?
On June 26, longtime Winona (Minn.) State University basketball coach Mike Leaf resigned unexpectedly. In multiple interviews, the only explanation he gave was that “it’s time.” Eight weeks later, hints at a darker story are emerging....
Reds' Jason Bourgeois Forgets Infield Fly Rule, Strolls Into Double Play
I’ve got nothing but sympathy for Cincinnati outfielder Jason Bourgeois, who killed a potential Reds rally by needlessly breaking for home when he could have stayed safely at third. I know the infield fly rule by heart—and I’d bet Borgeoius does too—but it’s invoked so infrequently, and clashes so s...
It Should Be A Crime To Hold Your Fantasy Draft This Early
Kelvin Benjamin, the Panthers’ obscenely talented sophomore receiver (and quite possibly the Panthers’ only talented receiver), will miss the entire 2015 season with a torn ACL suffered in a freak, non-contact practice injury. This is bad for Carolina, and bad for Carolina’s fans, but who cares abou...
Los Angeles Dodgers Officially Absorb Chase Utley Into Their Bottomless Money Pit
The long-awaited Chase Utley trade has finally been consummated, with the Phillies announcing that he will be going to the Dodgers for minor leaguers Darnell Sweeney and John Richy, as well as cash considerations....
