Enes Kanter Appears To Take Shot At LeBron James's China Comments, Says "Freedom Is Not Free"
On the most generous possible read, the NBA-China news cycle has revealed just how little players and coaches have ever considered the ethical stakes of doing business with an authoritarian state. The more cynical read is that they understand these stakes well enough but have decided there’s way to...
LeBron James Finally Takes Question About China, Responds By Licking The Boot
LeBron James has been silent on the matter of China throwing a massive temper tantrum over Rockets general manager Daryl Morey tweeting and deleting a limp slogan in support of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong. With the NBA spasming and losing bowel control around him, the world’s most visible ...
Zach Brown Talks Shit About Kirk Cousins, Loses To Vikings, Then Loses His Job
The Eagles released linebacker Zach Brown Monday, a day after their defense was shredded by Kirk Cousins and a Vikings offense that until very recently resembled a headless chicken. The shit-canning is all the more embarrassing for Brown for coming after he ran his mouth about Cousins, and then join...
Odell Beckham Jr. Is Back To Making Incredible Catches Again
It had been a while since Odell Beckham Jr. had made a highlight reel for something other than getting choked out on the field, or giving up a bad fumble on a punt return. But against the Seahawks on Sunday he gave the ol’ make-an-incredible-catch approach a try....
Seriously, What The Hell Is WWE Even Doing Right Now?
It’s been a weird week in WWE, and not in a way that anyone at the promotion would have wanted. ...
Antiques Shitshow: How Much Is My Ron Artest Kings Jersey Worth, Besides "Everything To Me"?
As I remember it, the decision to buy my white Ron Artest Sacramento Kings jersey was not a reasoning one. The decision to buy a basketball jersey, as someone who will probably only ever wear it during the six days per year that I am at or near a beach, is inherently not a reasonable one. And yet I ...
Keenan Allen Remains Confident Broncos' Chris Harris Jr. Cannot Wield His Undergarments
Beef! We’ve beef in the world of football, pals, between a receiver and a cornerback who share a division, which is really the only way NFL beefs can dry-age their way to maximum succulence, outside of the aging racks of intense playoff action. I’m pretty well done with that beef metaphor now....
Rockets Flack Tells Reporter To Stick To Sports After She Asks Players About Political Expression
Russell Westbrook and James Harden each dropped 22 points in the Rockets’ preseason victory over the Raptors in Saitama, Japan. In the postgame presser, CNN’s Christina Macfarlane asked a question of the two players:...
Richard Sherman Says He'll Apologize To Baker Mayfield Over Disputed Handshake Snub
Peace has been achieved in our time. One day after Richard Sherman’s claim that Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield snubbed him in a handshake line was alternately proven and disproven by a multitude of new angles, the 49ers cornerback conceded that he may have gotten too far out over his skis. Sherma...
A Brief Interview With A Man Who Faithfully Recreates LeBron's Instagram As If He Were A Giraffe
An artist who goes by “Maso Rich” has produced hyper-faithful, parallel-universe versions of the Instagram accounts of LeBron James and Steph Curry. In these universes, LeBron is a giraffe and Steph, in an inspired bit of casting, is a bush baby. Deadspin spoke with Maso Rich on the phone to underst...
Broncos CB De’Vante Bausby Says He Was Paralyzed For 30 Minutes After Collision With Teammate
Denver Broncos cornerback De’Vante Bausby had to be taken off the field on a backboard during the second quarter of his team’s game against the Chargers on Sunday after a helmet-to-helmet collision with his teammate, Alexander Johnson, as both went for a tackle. Bausby went to a trauma center after...
The Richard Sherman-Baker Mayfield Handshake Controversy Has Deepened And Dumbened
It is time now to enter the depths of Handshakeghazi....
The 49ers Had A Great Time Humiliating Baker Mayfield
This has been said many times before, but the Cleveland Browns asked for this. All the hype and shit-talking that followed them throughout the preseason set them up precisely for the kind of embarrassing loss they had last night. Not only did the 49ers beat them 31-3, they took every opportunity to ...
Maybe The 49ers Are Good <i>And </i>The Browns Are Bad
The Cleveland Browns’ dewy preseason vainglory wouldn’t be especially bothersome had it not (a) convinced people that sucking for a long time is shrewd and reasonable; and (b) compelled whoever’s in charge to slot the Browns in four primetime games this season. Monday night, the joke was on them. Th...
Big Boy Auburn Defender Rumbles Until He Tumbles After Recovering Fumble
In the dying embers of the first quarter of Auburn-Florida, Gators quarterback Kyle Trask lost the football and it landed straight into the arms of 6-foot-5, 315 lb. defensive tackle Derrick Brown. It didn’t matter that he’s not the type of player whose body type screams “speedster.” Thanks to some ...
The Denver Broncos Are Now Living In A World Of Piss
The Denver Broncos are one of three 0-4 NFL teams (assuming no tie, there should be one more after Bengals-Steelers tonight), and they’ve achieved that record thanks to generous helpings of incompetence and rotten luck. Also, they’ll now have to ride out the rest of this season without one of their ...
You Probably Shouldn't Be Able To Strangle A Guy On A Football Field
On Sunday, the Browns finally looked like the team everyone hoped they would be in 2019, beating the Ravens 40-25 while putting up 530 total yards of offense. Even more impressive is that they were able to do all that without much of a contribution from Odell Beckham Jr., who finished the game with ...
Nick Chubb Pantsed The Ravens' Defense And Shoved Them Into A Puddle
A quiet reality of this season’s Ravens roster was that the defense had lost significant pieces that would be quite hard to replace, regardless of how they drafted or approached free agency with finding replacements in mind. The reason behind the low volume on that issue had a lot to do with Baltimo...
Texas Tech's Eli Howard On His Dangerous Hit: I'm Sorry To My Coach, My Athletic Director, Oh, And Also The Guy I Injured
With just over 10 minutes left in the third quarter of Oklahoma-Texas Tech, Red Raiders defensive lineman Eli Howard V delivered a dangerous low hit to Sooners running back Kennedy Brooks on a return. While the hit would have been considered to be dirty regardless of the context, it was made signifi...
Report: Robert Kraft And Bill Belichick Disagreed On Whether To Cut Antonio Brown
No one on the Patriots wants to talk about Antonio Brown’s brief stay, which was cut short following a handful of reports detailing multiple sexual assault accusations. Bill Belichick has mostly dodged questions about the matter, and Tom Brady talked about how we live in a society. While it’s been r...
