Please Don't Let This Series Ever End
It is clear, at this point, that the Mavericks-Warriors series is hazardous to the health of anyone happening to be watching at home. What a travesty that these beautiful, crazed, maddening games are ending so late; it's impossible to watch this series and not think the NBA might be the most league ...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while repeatedly dialing "3" and then wondering where the ambulance is ... • NBA: It ... is ... ALIVE! Nowitzki, of all people, leads Mavericks over Warriors in Game 5. • MLB: Phil Of The Future is injured — of course — in Yankees 10-1 win over Rangers. • NHL: Wait, this series is ti...
Golden State's Chance To Make History (And Probably Kill Cuban)
Imagine the ramifications if, perchance, the Warriors eliminate the Mavericks tonight. First off, poor Dirk Nowitzki might never show his face in public again, or at least not around his coach. We'll have proof that the Warriors sold their souls to the devil. And Don Nelson will have his final, brut...
Fear The Beard
We never really noticed it until Monday afternoon, when KNBR Radio's Ted Robinson brought it up, but Baron Davis' stellar play against the Mavericks so far might be the best point guard performance by a beard since Walt Frazier led the Knicks to the NBA title in 1973. Sure, other beards have perform...

Under Armor Employees Like Being On TV
A few days ago, they had "Under Armor" day at Camden Yards, where a gaggle of Under Armor employees showed up to, we dunno, make grown men realize how they're too out of shape to possibly buy their products. One of their employees apparently had a bit too much to drink, and when he showed up on live...
We're Back From The Snack Bar; What'd We Miss?
We here at Deadspin are proud to announce our first unassisted triple play. We're so proud. Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki worked the magic against the Braves in the seventh inning of a tie game on Sunday. With runners on first and second, Tulowitzki caught Chipper Jones' line drive, then steppe...
R.I.P., Josh Hancock
A week and a half ago, our parents went to San Francisco, ostensibly to visit our sister. As is always the case with the Leitches, they tied their visit to a Cardinals game; they come to New York once a year too, whenever the Cardinals come to Shea. These yearly visits, and their (and our sister's) ...
That's It For The Mavericks, Folks! Please Drive Safely
How quickly we forget the last time the East Bay lost a major chunk of freeway: 1989, when the Loma Prieta earthquake performed the honors. The Oakland Athletics won the World Series a couple of weeks later, of course. On Sunday it was Cledus Snow, sans Bandit, jack-knifing his rig in a fiery crash ...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while stuck on the tarmac ... • NBA: Bulls beat Heat 92-79 to advance to ... oh no, Todd just had a heart attack! • We're three losses from Joe Torre returning to Yankee Stadium to find all of his crap out in the parking lot. Red Sox 7, Yankees 4. • NASCAR: What? Gordon won? That's s...
Cardinals Pitcher Josh Hancock Killed In Auto Accident
Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock was killed in an automobile accident last night in St. Louis. There aren't a ton of details available at the moment, but police will make a statement later this afternoon....
About Last Night...
• NBA Playoffs: Spurs 96, Nuggets 91. Manu Ginobili appears to be physically incapable of staying on his feet for longer than ten seconds at a time. • MLB: Yankees 3, Red Sox 1. Joe Torre might get to keep his job a little while longer. • NBA Playoffs: Jazz 98, Rockets 85. If you tried to identify t...
I Can't Imagine What Joe Thomas Did To These People
This video comes from The FanHouse's Enrico Campitelli, who's at the draft today. I just love watching the emotions change here; you can almost see their internal monologue. "What's going to happen, what should do I do? Left tackle? That doesn't mean much to me, but OHHHHHH! OHHHHHHHH! OHHHHHHHHH! I...

Lucky Joe Thomas Gets To Go To Cleveland
The Cleveland Browns, with the 3rd overall pick, take Joe Thomas, OL, Wisconsin. Mike Tanier of Football Outsiders tells you all about it....
You Believe? Well, Yeah, Why Wouldn't You?
It's a credit to the Golden State Warriors that those "We Believe" t-shirts have become a little bit redundant. It's not like it takes some incredible leap of faith to believe when your team is right in front of you, thoroughly embarrassing the Dallas Mavericks. Mark Cuban should call Golden State's...
