The Deadspin Idiots Eat The Horrifying Things Your Grandpas Did
Here at Gizmodo Media Group, we have a functional and powerful union, one that protects us from, say, reading scripts that look like hostage statements or really doing anything debasing and against our will. So while our participation in the video at the top of this post wasn’t exactly involuntary, ...
How Big Colleges Prey On Fan Loyalty To Fight Back Against Scandals
If you’ve been following the ongoing developments in the Larry Nassar scandal and Michigan State University’s sexual-assault crisis, you’ve recently become familiar with the phrase “#SpartansWill.” If you’ve spent any time around East Lansing, you already knew about it, because it’s all over town.

Feast Your Eyes On These Photos Of Enraged Chelsea Fans Flipping Off Dele Alli
Dele Alli scored twice in Tottenham’s 3-1 victory over Chelsea this weekend. His first goal was a beaut, but as Chris Applegate noted on Twitter, even more gorgeous than the goal itself were the photos, featuring the home Chelsea crowd’s reaction. So many scowls. So many impolite hand gestures. Trul...

Messi Came Off The Bench To Stroll Around, Keep Barcelona Undefeated
Lionel Messi came on as a substitute in the 58th minute of Barcelona’s match against Sevilla on Saturday with express orders not to run around too much. He obeyed, meandered around for the better part of his 30-minute cameo, before picking his moment and bursting forth from out of nowhere to score t...
This Is Why You Play To The Whistle
The following video, which depicts Macclesfield’s game-winning stoppage time goal against Woking, is an object lesson on why you must always be alert and focused for literally every second of every game, even when an outcome seems guaranteed, especially when playing on a bog of a pitch in rain-soake...

True Hit King Ichiro, In A Mariners Uniform, In 2018, Robbed A Dinger At The Wall
The Mariners lost at home yesterday to the Indians. This would be a happier story if they’d won, although I feel no particular way about the Mariners. But this is Ichiro doing a cool and heroic thing on a baseball diamond in the majors in 2018—had it been part of a win, it would’ve been that much sw...
Hassan Whiteside, On The Heat Playing Small Lineups: "It's Really Bullshit"
Saturday night the Heat had one of those really grinding losses, in Brooklyn. It wasn’t quite mutually dissatisfactory, if only because the Nets aren’t tanking, and so are still positioned to enjoy victories, but it was for sure a game the Heat were supposed to win: Miami is now in the 8th seed in t...

Teaira McCowan Is The Most Undeniable Player In Women's College Basketball<em></em>
COLUMBUS, OH — When Teaira McCowan grabbed her 23rd rebound of Mississippi State’s semifinal win over Louisville on Friday night, she just kept coming down with it—all the way to the floor. That’s a long way down for McCowan, who stands a muscular 6'7", but she wasn’t going to let this rebound get a...

Asia Durr, Teaira<em></em> McCowan, And A Few Other Reasons UConn Might Not Win It All
I get it, I do: You’re a fan of basketball, and this weekend has given you not one but two Final Fours watch. A choice appears. In one corner, an 11-seed underdog that might just do the dang thing and three high seeds that survived historically weird brackets; in the other, four No. 1 seeds, led by ...
Geno Auriemma Bravely Defies Silly NCAA Rule By Drinking Out Of Water Bottle
Of the many stupid NCAA rules and regulations that people tend to notice in March, the insistence that public-facing people—coaches, players, even folks in the media room—drink only from NCAA-branded cups ranks pretty far up there. During yesterday’s Final Four press conference, UConn coach Geno Aur...
Report: NFL Owners’ Motivation To Win Super Bowl Comes From The Inescapable Grip Of Death
Perhaps you’ve heard this before: The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl this year. The team that forever seemed doomed to represent the City of Philadelphia perfectly—generally pretty successful, but never the best—actually won the Super Bowl for the first time....
