Jack Edwards Sings "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" During Fight
Here’s a fight between Tyler Randell and Ryan Reaves, during which Bruins play-by-play man Jack Edwards sings “We Wish You A Merry Christmas,” for some reason. I guess Edwards isn’t afraid to say Merry Christmas....
What Is The Best Birthday Month?
PROGRAMMING NOTE: I’m outta here next week to go do Christmas things. You’re not getting a Funbag. You’ll have to go mud-sledding or something. Deadspin founder and artificial Georgian Will Leitch will be your Jamboroo guest host. ...
ESPN: NFL Blocks $16 Million From Being Used To Fund Massive Study Of CTE
In September 2012, the NFL proudly announced that it would be making an “unrestricted gift” of $30 million to the National Institutes of Health, the purpose of which was to fund further research into football’s relationship to brain damage, and to hopefully discover a way to diagnose CTE in living p...
New Video Shows Confrontation Between Odell Beckham Jr. And Bat-Carrying Panthers Player
It’s hard to know what to make of Batghazi—the claims, which were released to various reporters all at the same time, hinting they came from a Giants source, that Panthers players gestured toward Odell Beckham Jr. with baseball bats before the game in which Beckham completely lost his composure. Her...
Tom Coughlin Explains Why He Kept Odell Beckham Jr. In The Game
Odell Beckham Jr. should have been ejected after his helmet-to-helmet hit Josh Norman. He wasn’t, for reasons known only to the officiating crew. But he was actively hurting the Giants with penalties, and wasn’t getting anything done on the field (just one reception for three yards at the time), and...
NFL Suspends Odell Beckham Jr. One Game
Odell Beckham Jr. was suspended one game without pay for a whole bunch of personal fouls against Carolina on Sunday. The NFL was apparently unswayed by late reports that he felt threatened by baseball bat-wielding Panthers players. Beckham will appeal his suspension, according to CBS Sports’ Jason L...
Reports: Bat-Wielding Panthers Menaced Odell Beckham Jr. During Pregame
Are you ready for the war of fists and words between Odell Beckham Jr. and the Panthers’ secondary to reach (sink to?) a new level of absurdity? Well then you are in luck, because now baseball bats are involved....
Odell Beckham Jr. Should Have Been Ejected
Despite the headline, this isn’t a hot take. I’m not trying to convince you of anything. It’s a statement of fact, really: given Beckham’s increasingly violent tantrums, culminating in a legitimately dangerous after-the-whistle hit on Josh Norman, he had absolutely no business being in that football...
Odell Beckham Jr. Celebrates Game-Tying TD Catch With An Allen Iverson Stepover On Josh Norman
OBJ redeemed his no-good-very-bad day full of punches with this late touchdown catch....
OBJ And The Panthers Cornerbacks Are Staging A Boxing Match In The Middle Of A Football Game
Odell Beckham Jr.’s matchup today with Josh Norman, perhaps the best corner in the game this year, is one of the coolest one-on-one matchups we’ve seen all year. On the Giants’ fourth play from scrimmage, Beckham burned Norman, and then dropped a perfectly good touchdown. A few plays later in the qu...
Why Is The NFL's Most Infamous Quack Still Involved In Its Concussion Program?
The many ways in which Dr. Elliot Pellman—a Guadalajara-educated rheumatologist with questionable qualifications—helped the NFL downplay the depth and gravity of its concussion crisis are well-documented. He chaired the influential Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee despite not having any educati...

Roger Goodell: Heh, Concussions. Heh.
The National Football Foundation had its annual dinner this week, and former NFL quarterback Roger Staubach came prepared with jokes. One joke was particularly delightful to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell....
Odell Beckham's Catch Was Absolutely Ridiculous, Again
It makes you wonder how the Giants ever lose a game, when they can seemingly just throw a football anywhere within his gravity well and he’ll pull it in....
It's Been A Year Since Odell Beckham's Catch
It was one year ago today, a Sunday night game between the Giants and Cowboys, when Odell Beckham Jr. made his one-handed catch. I have absolutely nothing to add to this commemoration, other than gifting you the blessed memory of the totally fucking awesome thing that happened....
Inside The Closed-Door NFL Hearing That Reinstated Greg Hardy
On March 4, the NFL conducted a reinstatement hearing for Greg Hardy, who had spent most of the previous season on the Commissioner’s Exempt List after he was accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Holder.

Odell Beckham Is Forcing Himself To Become Ambidextrous

So We Got Suspended From Twitter
In case you missed it, Twitter suspended the @Deadspin account last night in what was, inarguably, THE WORST REPRESSION OF FREE SPEECH IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND. Why were we suspended? What shadowy forces at BIG TWEET were conspiring against us? And why are we stupid enough to put the fate of our tr...
Getting Mad At Greg Hardy Is The Easy Part
Ray Rice made it easy for us. Here was a running back whose performance was already trending down, took a plea deal, and followed the preferred script about begging for forgiveness. When he returned from his suspension looking for work, it was easy for teams to say no. Rice probably was going to be ...
