Woof, Ryan Tannehill
I will come clean and admit that there was a time, not even two years ago, when I thought Ryan Tannehill was going to be a very good NFL quarterback. I have submitted my resignation to Tim Marchman, and will step down as a sports writer-abouter if it’s accepted....
Jeb: It's Rude To Hear My Old Dad Say Things
Jeb Bush, a man who insists he owns multiple sweaters and also loves saltines, is furious. But why is our mild-mannered boy so enraged? Because someone heard his very old dad talk....
Send Us Your College Roommate Horror Stories
At the risk of doomsaying like some David Brooksian “kids these days” reactionary luddite, it must be said: College now seems crueler than ever before....
Urban Sprawl Or Housing Crisis? Neither, Thanks.
Urban sprawl is bad. Not having enough housing to meet demand is also bad. It now appears that reconciling these two things may be harder than we thought. But not impossible!...
Evil Person Ruins Lionel Messi's Career In Video Game
One of the chief appeals of the much-beloved video game series Football Manager is seeing how this meticulously-researched game that goes to absurd lengths for realism forecasts the future, and how you, by way of your invented manager avatar, can affect that future. Usually, gamers accomplish this t...
Soccer Man Gets Extremely Hyped About This Dope Thing He Just Did
It’s not often that defenders are the architects of highlight reel-quality plays, and seeing as an acrobatic goal-line clearance is basically the defensive equivalent of a golazo for an attacker, it makes sense that Bursaspor’s Aziz Behich was super pumped after pulling off this amazing feat:...
Stan Wawrinka And Juan Martin Del Potro Both Beat The Sad Tennis Ball
Well after 1 a.m. in Queens this morning, Stan Wawrinka defeated Juan Martin del Potro in four sets, but the real loser was every tennis ball in play. The quarterfinal match pitted two of the sport’s most violent groundstrokes against one another and admittedly, all that violence is pretty to look a...

How's Former Speaker John Boehner Doing?
If you google Paul Ryan right now, the first two headlines that come up are “House Conservatives Plot Coup Against Speaker Paul Ryan” and “5 Points on the Nightmare Paul Ryan Faces Even If The GOP Keeps The House.” Which is not ideal if you’re Paul Ryan. Google John Boehner, however, and you’ll find...
High School Player Scores Insane Front-Flip Goal, But It Doesn't Count<em></em>
A key part of the majesty of sports is watching the human body confront unique problems and, within the confines of the sport’s rules and the constraints of what is physically possible, solve them on the fly with a feat of athletic genius. This is what makes Columbine high schooler Dylan Prichett-Et...
Look At Bryce Harper
Maybe this is weird to say, but I don’t think any player in baseball is as visually captivating as Bryce Harper. The home runs and helmet-ditching sprints from home to second—all produced by that loopy, torquing swing of his—are an easy sell, but there’s also just something about the way Harper look...
Cristiano Ronaldo Named Best Player In Europe, Wins Creepy-Ass Trophy
Cristiano Ronaldo, the greatest soccer-playing cyborg ever made/animated, had a year to remember. First, he dragged Real Madrid to Champions League glory (pulling them through the least daunting field maybe ever, but hey, winning’s winning) in May. For his next feat, he stood on the sidelines with w...
Katie Ledecky Turned Bryce Harper Into A Medal Rack
Strong-as-hell swimming champion Katie Ledecky is from Washington D.C., and the Nationals invited her to come throw the first pitch tonight before their game against the Orioles. She arrived, as well she should, decked out in all five of her recently-acquired Olympic medals. Thankfully, Bryce Harper...

Here Are The Penis Pics That Lena Zawaideh Says Shaun White Sent Her [NSFW]

Why My Team Rules: The Philadelphia Eagles
Some people are haters of the Philadelphia Eagles. But many, many more people are FANS of the Philadelphia Eagles. This 2016 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the hating-ass hater’s guides to other teams you love here. Drew Magary has a new book out—have you heard?...
Accept Your Mediocrity (I'm Fine!)<em></em>
There comes a time in your life when you realize that you are a fairly mediocre human being. You can try to rectify some aspects of the situation—exercise or whatever—but there is little you can actually do to outrun your own unremarkableness. (You can’t outrun it because you’re out of shape.)...
Red Sox Cancel Giveaway Due To "Unacceptable" David Ortiz Bobblehead<em></em>
The Boston Red Sox were set to hand out David Ortiz bobbleheads for tonight’s game, but the finished product wasn’t up to par. The team announced today that the bobbleheads were “not appropriate for distribution,” and the giveaway was canceled....
Which Kid Foods Still Hold Up For Adults?
What makes kids food kid foods? Is it a malleable set-up that encourages children to play with their crackers and pasta? Or, perhaps, it’s brightly-colored packaging with the contents within written out into burst shapes. Certainly, the market has trended toward healthier options as of late, but the...
Michael Jordan Donates $2 Million To Social Justice Organizations
In a note published on The Undefeated today, Michael Jordan spoke out against recent acts of violence against African-Americans and police officers, and revealed that he has made sizable donations to two organizations that work to combat police brutality and racial inequality....
