Deadspin predicts the Super Bowl LVII winner
It’s the game of games, the show of shows, and the event to end all other events. A reason to get together, drink, eat, and watch lots of grown men in pads smack into each other for pleasure. The Super Bowl can be described in so many different ways. And Deadspin is here to tell you how Sunday’s big...
Wait, Luka Dončić did what?
How long are the Mavs going to keep doing this? We’re 11 years removed from 2011 (almost 12), and the organization still has a franchise player surrounded with just enough talent to keep him from demanding a trade. If you missed it, Luka Dončić broke the Dallas record for points in a single game, po...

That might be hard to believe, but it’s true, and as we get closer to the start of the NBA season, many of us have conflicting ideas on how the season will play out. For example, my co-worker Criss Partee believes that with a healthy Klay Thomps...
Dinosaur organization has dinosaur coach, film at 11
There isn’t much to add to the whole Jon Gruden dumbassery that my colleagues Carron Phillips didn’t address yesterday or Criss Partee the day before. Gruden never deserved his position, certainly didn’t do much to earn it while he was there, and then was found out as a world-class asshole who also ...
Deadspinners make their boldest, throw-reason-out-the-door predictions for the NFL season
Thursday was great, but now, the real fun begins. Tomorrow, the NFL season kicks off for 28 franchises. There are a lot of teams with high hopes coming into the season, a lot of promising rookies, a lot of interesting storylines, but most of all, there are a lot of question marks....
