The Bucs can’t help themselves
Perhaps it’s the feeling of invincibility an organization gets when it’s won a Super Bowl. The afterglow, as fresh as it is, probably doesn’t lead to a lot of scrutiny from within. Fuck, the Astros did it, even before they won a World Series, and then a couple years later didn’t see a problem pickin...
It’s still just Matthew Stafford
Pump the brakes on Matthew Stafford....
Screw Al Michaels and screw the Bucs
It took less than one full quarter for NBC’s Opening Night broadcasting team, helmed by Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth, to demonstrate exactly how little they care for the women watching the game....
No wonder Adam Cole left WWE
Oh, man. This would’ve been an awful idea....
We totally forgot that this USMNT hasn’t played very well
Perhaps I doomed them last Wednesday when I told my editor the US Men’s National Team would qualify for the World Cup easily. The power of the motherfuck grows every day. That won’t comfort anyone, especially me, as the US has certainly stubbed its toe in its first two qualifiers, even if it hasn’t ...
The Nets are even more stacked now
Yes, they’re old. Yes, we should have concerns about injuries. Sure, we don’t even know if all the players are vaccinated yet, which will matter because they’ll have to be. ...
Hey, Pep — you old scallywag, you old so-and-so — come manage the USMNT
So you need a new challenge in a couple years, Pep? Seven years at Man City will be enough? I agree. Want to try yourself at the international stage? Really all that’s left for you at age 50. Not much left to prove at club level, other than maybe not shitting yourself in the latter stages of the Cha...
Deadspin fixes NBA free agency, Part VI: The Sleepers
This isn’t a best of, and it can’t be; we don’t even know who will be available by the time this goes up. ...
Why did it take the Secretary of Defense, a Republican senator, and President Biden to get Navy CB Cameron Kinley to the NFL?
An American story that was on its way to becoming an American dream got derailed last month by American’s greatest sin — racism. But, a month later, that American dream is back on track after some American politicians came together in the name of bipartisanship to let a Black Naval officer and Annap...
Kyle Schwarber is as consistent as chunky peanut butter
“Kyle Schwarber is a powerhouse!” says the Cubs fan after Schwarber’s first season in the bigs. ...
NFL treats unvaccinated players like outcasts, and you can’t blame it
If you’re an unvaccinated NFL player at the start of training camp, your experience will be vastly different from everyone else. And it will probably suck....
Bruce Arians: 'If you want to go back to normal, get vaccinated'
Though the NFL is somewhat divided, Bruce Arians has a very simple idea as to how he could see things returning to normal....
Nathan MacKinnon is unplayable
Everyone knows that after his 105-point-in-a-56-game season that Connor McDavid is the best player in the world. But what my book presupposes is... maybe he isn’t? (an old joke, and I’ve come to have no use for Wes Anderson over the years and you likely have to, but it’s still a good one). ...
Uh-oh, Jarred Kelenic is off to a good start (and the Mets are probably stewing)
Calm down; it was just one game. (It was a damn good one, though.)...
The story of the New Orleans Jazz and their move to Utah, where jazz didn’t exist
With the NBA playoffs fast approaching, the Utah Jazz can boast the best record in the league. But the best team name? Not so much....
Dustin May’s injury highlights a bigger problem in Major League Baseball
Major League Baseball gets a lot of flack for its unwritten rules, inaction against cheaters, television blackouts, and inability to market top players. Yet, what MLB gets the most hate for is its unwillingness to change....
Who are the worst overall No. 1 picks in NFL history? Follow the stench
With the NFL Draft on the top of everyone’s mind, it’s time for us to take a look back in the past at some of the prior number one picks....
Let’s all enjoy the Yankees being ass
I fell into the trap, too. The return to a 162-game season lent a feeling of the Yankees being inevitable in the AL East. After all, the Red Sox simply declined to compete again (though no one seems to have told their players yet), the Blue Jays fel about a year away, and the Orioles smell like a sm...
LaMarcus Aldridge joins loaded Nets, but we found the team they should STILL fear the most
Just because LaMarcus Aldridge has his lowest scoring average since he was a rookie, his lowest true shooting in five years, and his lowest rebounding average ever this season doesn’t mean he’s cooked at 35....
