Let's Stop Pretending To Care When NFL Players Skip OTAs
Every May, without fail, the NFL storylines are the same. (Take, for example, “the most May 22 tweet of all time.”) A particularly common one is the raft of headlines shouting “[PLAYER] Is Skipping OTAs,” followed by reams of copy that purport to explain why, and what it all means. It means nothing....
A Brief History Of David Beckham's Futile Attempts To Build An MLS Stadium In Miami
Miami has not had an MLS team since the Miami Fusion closed down in 2001. A joint bid between Barcelona and Bolivian billionaire Marcelo Claure failed in 2009, and the league stayed out of Florida until Orlando SC entered the league in 2015. Five years ago, MLS czar Don Garber first broached the ide...
What Is Wrong With The English
The nightmare you see above is the birthday dinner of choice not for a random insane person, but for 42-year-old multimillionaire global celebrity sports icon David Beckham, who could have virtually anything in the world to eat. He chose this. Beans, some kind of sad approximation of fries, ham, not...
White Sox Send Game-Used, Autographed Gordon Beckham Shoe To Deadspin Editor
Whether out of base or pure motives, the Chicago White Sox sent a game-used, autographed Gordon Beckham shoe to a Deadspin editor this weekend....
White Sox Offer Contest Winner Used Gordon Beckham Shoe
Chicago White Sox home-game announcers Jason Benetti and Steve Stone are one of the better tandems in the game right now—funny, informative, and straight with viewers about just what it is they’re watching without being so straight it becomes depressing. You get the sense that takes some work at tim...
An NWSL Strike Might Be The USWNT's Best Leverage
The U.S. women’s national team is in the middle of the 2017 SheBelieves Cup, a three-game tournament held in the U.S., and the team’s only major international competition of the year. They beat Germany 1-0 on Wednesday in Pennsylvania, play England on Saturday in New Jersey, and face France in Tuesd...
Danny Welbeck Is Back
Starting for Arsenal for the first time in nine months today, Danny Welbeck is clearly not bothered any more by the knee injury that kept him sidelined for so long. Welbeck scored the first two goals of the day and helped out on the third to put Arsenal up 3-0 over Southampton in the FA Cup, showing...
Hole Fixed
The result of Odell Beckham Jr.’s frustration has been erased from the Packers’ facilities. From ESPN’s Rob Demovsky:...
Report: The Packers Still Have A Hole In Their Wall
In terms of forced explanations of why the New York Giants—and specifically Odell Beckham Jr.— are out of the playoffs, boat trips are tired. A hole in the wall that serves as a visual representation of the receiver’s struggles with self-control is officially in....
Odell Beckham Jr. Is Furious And Correct
You don’t need me to tell you that Odell Beckham Jr. spending last Monday on a boat with Justin Bieber and Trey Songz didn’t have anything to do with him dropping three passes in yesterday’s loss to the Packers. Even the New York tabloid press, to which a story like Beckham’s is red meat, hasn’t rea...
Giants WRs Flew To Miami For One Hell Of A Party
The Giants’ game against Washington meant literally nothing (except to Washington, which needed a win to make the playoffs and lost, lol), and it appears the receiving corps must’ve been pretty anxious just to get the damn thing over with. Because as soon as it ended, WRs Odell Beckham Jr., Sterling...
Odell Beckham Had A Mini-Meltdown After The Giants' Loss
Odell Beckham Jr. had a typically excellent game last night, hauling in 11 passes for 150 yards, but he could never get the big one, and it showed in the result....
The NFL Season Is Just A Bunch Of Fashion Fines With Occasional Football Games
Sometimes it really does feel like the NFL is a company dedicated to punishment, with the occasional football game. Skins receiver DeSean Jackson revealed through Instagram Wednesday that he was fined for wearing customized cleats. Jackson argued that the shoes displayed his team colors, although th...
Odell Beckham Jr. And Le'Veon Bell Have Some Gripes Over Arbitrary NFL Fines
Let’s get this out of the way: Ezekiel Elliott’s kettle hop was fun, kinda cute, and made for great internet content for this very blog and others. It’s also great that the NFL has said they won’t fine him, and that Elliott will donate a hefty sum to the Salvation Army....
So <i>That's</i> Why Odell Beckham Has Been Training Himself To Be Ambidextrous
The Giants are sitting pretty for a playoff spot after their 17-6 win over the Lions, a victory capped off by another highlight-reel touchdown catch by Odell Beckham Jr. This one-handed grab wasn’t on the level of his snag against the Cowboys two years ago, but the degree of difficulty was upped by ...
Odell Beckham Jr. Credited With Reception For Obvious Drop
Odell Beckham Jr.’s known for his amazing catches, but nothing he’s accomplished matches the mind-blowing “catch” he made early in today’s Lions-Giants game. Despite being in clear view of an official, OBJ’s drop was declared a catch—and with no challenge flag thrown, the play stands as called....
NFL: Supporting Kanye West Does Not Qualify As A Charitable Cause
For one game only, the NFL allowed players the freedom to express support for charities in the “My Cause, My Cleats” campaign last week. Many players chose organizations with a personal connection (Brandon Marshall and Project Borderline for borderline personality disorder, Ryan Shazier and the Nati...
Odell Beckham, We Have Something You Should Read
Odell Beckham Jr. is still steamed about the officiating in the Giants’ loss to the Steelers, in which he believes (and is correct, incidentally) that Pittsburgh defenders got away with all kinds of uncalled penalties. So steamed that he’s making nonsensical jokes:...
Novak Djokovic Parts Ways With Coach Boris Becker
Novak Djokovic, who had what you could call an “off-year,” if only by his obscenely high standards, split up today with coach and six-time Grand Slam winner Boris Becker. In the three years that he worked with the German, Djokovic tightened his chokehold on the entire men’s field, only slackening hi...
Odell Beckham Jr. Is Complaining About The Refs Again
The Giants got downright bodied by the Steelers on Sunday, the 24-14 score barely reflecting Pittsburgh’s dominance—Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell outgained the entire Giants offense. The promised showdown between Brown and Odell Beckham Jr., never quite materialized, because though Eli Manning reli...
