Humorless Dickhole Business Writer Very Upset About March Madness Pools<em></em>
As much as we here at Deadspin like to poke fun at sportswriters and political hot-take artists, the truth is that business journalists may be the lowliest scum of all. We’re all horrified by Darren Rovell, and yet there’s only ONE of him in sports. Really, that man is just a business reporter in sp...

Panels Are Shit
South by Southwest is going on in Austin this week and if you’ve ever been to that thing, you know that it started out as a music festival before BIG LANYARD got its paws on it and turned it into an event where brands jizz all over themselves and do NOT keep Austin weird. Since the festival’s incep...
Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Root For The Following NBA Teams
Many NBA teams are good, or are crummy but feature some fun young Turks who can provide some reason for optimism, or are not good and do not have fun young Turks but are taking it to the limit one more time with ol’ Dirk Nowitzki, and therefore are good to root for. In almost every NBA city, there’...
Congratulations To The Bulls For This Truly Awful First Quarter

Piss Off, Tim Tebow
Tim Tebow isn’t a major-league ballplayer, and he isn’t a pro ballplayer in any but the barest, most literal sense. Certainly, if he weren’t famous for playing football and for not having been aborted, no one anywhere would pay him money to play baseball. Look at this shit!...
The Warriors Aren't Invincible
The last time that the Golden State Warriors lost back-to-back games in regulation was almost exactly two years ago, back in early April of 2015. That 2014-15 Warriors team got blown out by San Antonio on the road, then lost a close one in New Orleans. After that loss, they won an NBA championship a...
USF Forgot, Left Behind Two Players Who Fell Asleep At The Airport

No, Paying NCAA Athletes Won't Cost Them Money
Few things get me as angry as seeing people oppose a reform because of unrealistic concerns about imaginary unforeseen consequences. Pick a problem and propose some way to make it better, and some concern troll will immediately pop out from behind a curtain to say that there is some remote chance of...
Thunder Acquire Taj Gibson And Doug McDermott For Cameron Payne
The Oklahoma City Thunder have acquired Taj Gibson and Doug McDermott from the Chicago Bulls, in exchange for Cameron Payne, Joffrey Lauvergne, and a second round pick, reports Brian Windhorst....
Baseball's New Intentional Walk Scheme Is A Pointless, Off-Target Act Of Surrender
Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred, in collaboration with his quisling associates in the players’ union, is apparently ready to do away with the normal and basic baseball act of four balls leading to a walk. He and they have agreed to a scheme by which the intentional walk doesn’t physic...
Science: CEOs Are Such Bullshit
“CEO” is a term for someone who is paid more money than you because they are able to project a large degree of confidence about their wrong ideas. Don’t take my word for it—it’s science!...

Rajon Rondo Threw The Spiciest Outlet Pass Of The Season
