It’s about that time once again....

We're facing a humanitarian crisis, but college football marches on
We are doomed as a society. There is no turning back. There is no shelter to run and hide. (Well, there is — it’s called your house — but seemingly millions of folks don’t want to stay there.) If anything, this pandemic has shown us that some people simply will not believe in science no matter what....

3...2...1...Boom! A sports retrospective off absurd 50th anniversary of a whale explosion
The Oregon Highway Division had an extremely non-highway problem to deal with 50 years ago. When a dead sperm whale washed up on the beach near Florence, nobody quite knew what to do about it, but it was starting to stink. So, the Highway Division was called in, and on November 12, 1970, they put th...

Joe Burrow tells how fear of Lord Voldemort turned him into a Disney Channel kid
Bengals’ quarterback Joe Burrow admitted publicly that he is not the one to play with when it comes to being scared....

NFL Week 9 Powerless Rankings: The race to the bottom stumbles on
It’s time once again to highlight the teams stinking up the joint every single week....

Cowboys backup staves off another week of stocking shelves by giving Steelers all they could handle
The Steelers looked worse than a Kellyanne Conway outfit in the first half of Sunday’s game against Dallas. Pittsburgh’s offense looked like it was trying to run through mud with cinder blocks as feet. Luckily for Mike Tomlin’s crew, this Dallas team has the same chances of winning a tightly-contest...

We have a winner: Sports gambling
We don’t know the result of this year’s presidential election… yet. But it’s becoming increasingly clear that Americans are in favor of legalizing sports betting (and weed, but that’s for another time)....

We’ve seen enough of the NFC East this season, NFL, please adopt WNBA playoff structure
We all know bad the NFC East is this season. They are the butt of all the jokes....

Week 8 Powerless Rankings: Poor Trevor Lawrence
Another Sunday of NFL football has concluded....

My God, please stop putting the NFC East in primetime
If you watched this game on Sunday Night Football — a 23-9 Eagles win over the Cowboys — I would just like to take this time to say a prayer for you....

Deadspin Argues About Stuff: Rating Tua's debut
Dustin Foote: Alright Donovan, Tua Tagovailoa just won his first start against the Rams in Miami. We argued about whether or not the Dolphins should start Tua when Miami made the announcement two weeks ago. I wanted him in, you wanted him out. With the win, did coach Brian Flores make the right call...

Lump Mike Piazza in with athletes for Trump after Pennsylvania rally appearance
Mamas, don’t let your sports heroes grow up to be Trumpers....

Trevor Lawrence tests positive for COVID-19 as this all continues to go terribly
The biggest man on campus has COVID-19....

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...

COVID-19 almost killed Bobby Bowden, but he's still voting for Trump
There’s nothing more American than college football, racism, and voting against your own self-interest....

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...

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....

Yellow-bellied Game 7 starter for Rays seeks to exorcise Astros demons he had hoped stayed hidden
Charlie Morton has proven himself as a big-game pitcher in the past. It was just three years ago that Morton started Game 7 of the ALCS and got the win with five innings of two-out shutout ball. Ten days later, he came out of the bullpen to pitch the final four innings of Game 7 of the World Series,...
