We present to you February 2024's Idiots of the Month
Welcome to the first edition of Idiots of the Month for 2024 (we may have been overwhelmed with idiocy in January, and declined to choose five from the nominees — or we may have been distracted by the Super Bowl). Luckily for us, February brought us a fresh, new crop of idiots, and one idiot who is ...
Roger Goodell wants NFL players to have a ‘voice’ in volatile Election Year. Don’t believe him
In football, the line of scrimmage is where the “rubber meets the road.” In politics, it occurs inside the voting booth. Roger Goodell’s recent comments on politics and sports are proof that the league could be on the verge of repeating the same mistakes it did during the Colin Kaepernick era, as th...
Not even the Deep State could keep the Super Bowl down
Despite being exposed as a deep-state psy-ops campaign, the Super Bowl still managed to retain its status as an unofficial American holiday....
The NFL’s sole desire to get Taylor Swift in the Super Bowl? Money
So let me get this straight: The NFL is in bed with the left, Taylor Swift, President Joe Biden and Travis Kelce all in order to what? Improve Biden’s poll numbers and alienate a segment of its fanbase that’s been unwavering in its loyalty since Colin Kaepernick started kneeling in protest of police...
The last year each NFL team reached the Super Bowl
The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs will once again square off in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs — who won the previous meeting, 31-20 — are in their third Super Bowl in four years. ...
Kim Mulkey needs to show up for Brittney Griner’s jersey retirement at Baylor
Anyone who dresses the way Kim Mulkey does loves attention. And since the ultra-competitive and always controversial head coach has never shied away from the camera, she might as well show up in Waco next month for a photo-op on Brittney Griner’s big night — even if the two can’t stand each other....
Chiefs-49ers and every Super Bowl rematch in NFL history
It’s feeling like 2020 all over again. Donald Trump and Joe Biden are presidential candidates, COVID is still a thing, and the Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. ...
Sick, Sad World of Sports: Jumbo holiday edition
The holidays are a stressful time for everyone, including criminals, athletes moonlighting as criminals, and criminals moonlighting as athletes. ...
It’s time for ESPN to put an end to Pat McAfee’s Aaron Rodgers disaster
There was a time in journalism when allowing people to spew false information in a public forum was frowned upon. That was before the ghouls at FOX News realized that there was a lot of money in telling people what they want to hear — truth be damned — first as wild speculation about where former Pr...
This week in the NFL: Pledge allegiance or go cry in the corner
Welcome to Deadspin’s The Sports Nihilist, where all is for naught, and we are but accidental jolts of electrified meat stuck to the surface of a rock in an indifferent universe....
John Fisher might not have the money to move the A’s to Vegas
There’s generally little hope for fans when it’s already been announced that their team will move to another city. That hope evaporates more when a league approves it, as MLB has done with the A’s move to Vegas. And yet, there’s always a sliver of light that can’t be extinguished when an owner is so...
This week in the sports world: NFL refereeing under fire again; Biden goes to bat for indigenous Olympic team
You do have to appreciate that the officiating crew on the league’s Sunday Night game, supposedly the marquee matchup of the week where the entire NFL world tunes in, was able to pack in so much moron-acy into one final drive. The density of clueless officiating in the last minute of Kansas City Chi...
Biden supports Indigenous Olympic lacrosse team
With lacrosse being added to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, it is only right that the group of people who invented the sport get an invite too. ...
Mel Tucker keeps overlooking his own words in this he-said-she-said with Brenda Tracy
I have no idea if Mel Tucker thought things were consensual — or if he even asked. I’m clueless when it comes to knowing if Brenda Tracy had a motive. But what I, and you, know is that Mel Tucker owned up to doing what he did — making “sexual comments” about Tracy while “masturbating” during a “late...
Stephen A. Smith defended Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ racist past
Stephen A. Smith has two options. Stand by his man and deal with the consequences, or apologize and hold Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones accountable for past and present racist allegations that have become too big to ignore....
If the shootings at UVA couldn’t change gun laws, nothing will
America has its favorites — football, guns, and racism. Charlottesville, Virginia, has all three....
Sage Steele and Michele Tafoya: A match made in delusion
So how does one become an official member of the “Coalition of Courage,” Michele Tafoya? Is there a fee? Do you hold meetings? Is there a secret intake process that has been passed down through the decades? Or does one simply have to take a decorated career in an industry that becomes more difficult...
Embarrassing moron thinks space lasers started Maui wildfires
There’s anxiety, and then there’s paranoia. If you’re afraid of flying, crowds, or clowns, that’s understandable. Everybody has their own quirks, but when it comes to the hardcore baseless conspiracy theorists — say, shadowy government forces using cutting-edge military weaponry to start a deadly fi...
Not all of Dan Campbell’s motivational tactics are permissible
It appears that Dan Campbell did not take in all of the lessons from the early COVID pandemic classic, The Tiger King. What made the documentary a seminal pop culture moment is that there was nothing else to watch in late March 2020, and characters who were so boorish, and ostentatious that they mad...
Another Juneteenth, and America still doesn't get it
For the third time on Monday, the United States of America will acknowledge Juneteenth as a federal holiday. President Joe Biden signed the declaration into law two days before the holiday in 2021. Now as America enters its third nationwide Juneteenth celebration — three years after George Floyd’s d...
