NBA Likely To Adjust Playoff Seeding, Won't Prevent Hack-A-Shaq
With everybody in the basketball world in Las Vegas for the Summer League, the NBA held meetings of both its competition committee and Board of Governors, and afterwards commissioner Adam Silver answered questions from the media.

This Hard Cider Is The Best Summertime Bourbon Mixer
On Monday, one of my favorite beer writers, Jason Notte of Marketwatch, told us to drink more fruit beer. He is a wise man, and that is generally sound advice. However! What if you’ve been drinking too much fruit beer lately? What if you’ve had the good sense to overdose on, say, 21st Amendment’s He...
Boomerangs Are Bullshit
Deadspin is nominally a sports blogsite. There are no major sports in action right now unless you want to count baseball, which is a bad and weak sport. So we at Deadspin started talking about comic books, because at least 100 grim, gritty trailers for superhero movies came out over the weekend. Eve...

The Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos have yet to sign their respective star receivers—Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas—to longterm deals, and the deadline to do so is this Wednesday.

Hey, You Don't Have To Read Harper Lee's New Book
So Go Set a Watchman, the second book about the main characters from the 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird, comes out today. That’s the safest way to write that sentence: It permits, I think, all the abundant uncertainty and controversy. This is a book, written by someone, about those characters, and...
I Tried Chessboxing And I Will Never Do It Again
BERLIN – Let me say something obvious: fighting someone is exhausting. The switch—or whatever you want to call it—that flips when the lizard part of your brain tells the rest of you to hold off on metabolizing or thinking is inescapable. When you’re a novice fighter like me, the only thing you can t...
The Time Ken Stabler Maybe Planted Cocaine On A Sportswriter He Hated
Last Friday, we republished Pete Axthelm’s great old profile on Ken Stabler, the swashbuckling former NFL quarterback who died at the age of 69 last week. In that profile is an unbelievable anecdote about a “prank” that is impossible to imagine happening in today’s NFL....
Greg Hardy's 10-Game Suspension Reduced To Four
Defensive end Greg Hardy signed with the Cowboys in March after his domestic violence charges were dropped when the victim didn’t show up to court; the NFL gave him a 10-game suspension without pay in April.

Rodeo Enthusiasts Enjoy Rodeo [NSFW]

Who Has The Best Super-Dick At Comic Con?
The 2015 Comic Con floor is open, which means hundreds of thousands of fans will soon be filing in to talk with comic creators, buy sweet commissioned drawings at Artist’s Alley, and, of course, check out some statues of superheroes wearing skintight costumes that show off their dick bulges. Deadspi...
Here Are Some Athletes You Should Bone Instead Of Cristiano Ronaldo
The consensus view is that Portuguese soccer mega-star Cristiano Ronaldo, currently being a weird brand robot in Japan, is not just a good-looking and sexy athlete, but perhaps the best-looking, the sexiest male athlete. But nah. His facial features are too small, his eyebrows too sculpted, his chin...

LeBron, Wade, And CP3 Are Riding Around The Bahamas On A Banana Boat
Here is a photo, taken from Dwyane Wade’s Instagram, of Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, and LeBron James drinking some fine wine together in the Bahamas. My two questions: would you wear a t-shirt with your own nickname on it, and is Carmelo a bit faded?...
Chris Broussard And Bomani Jones Argue About Premarital Sex
Bomani Jones dished some takes about Russell Wilson’s sexless relationship with Ciara on Highly Questionable today, and his thoughts on premarital sex didn’t resonate with ESPN coworker Chris Broussard. The NBA writer came at Jones on Twitter for believing that chastity was silly....
