Carl Hagelin Mindfucked A Goalie For An Easy Evgeni Malkin Score<em></em>
The Penguins are lighting the lamp on the Senators tonight, and Ottawa back-up goalie Mike Condon can barely figure out what’s going on. For Pittsburgh’s third goal of the game, Carl Hagelin took the puck behind the net and seemed like he was going to take it in the far corner on Condon’s left. Inst...
Elise Christie's Suspicious Short Track Crash Is As Frustrating As It Gets
British speed skater Elise Christie is one of the fastest women in the world on the short track, and she’s probably the most likely athlete to win a gold medal for Team GB in Pyeongchang. She owns the world record in the 500-meter, has a pair of World Championship gold medals, and has won several Eu...

Josh McDaniels's Agent Drops Him After Colts Fiasco
Agent Bob LaMonte has withdrawn from representing Josh McDaniels in the wake of McDaniels’s 11th-hour decision to stay with the Patriots. According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, LaMonte was “stunned” and “blindsided” by the move, and he apparently told McDaniels that he was “committing professional suicid...
HEY, PATRIOTS! FUCK YOU IN THE FACE!<em></em>
There is never a guarantee you’ll get a Patriots Schadenfreude Day. There are years when they win a Super Bowl and you just gotta sit there with gritted teeth while Brian O’Brian from Dickchester hoots and hollers and flashes imaginary rings and celebrates yet another Pats Super Bowl win by blinding...
Where The Hell Was Malcolm Butler?
Malcolm Butler, the hero of Super Bowl 49 and starting cornerback for the Patriots all season, wasn’t on the field for any defensive snaps as New England lost 41-33 to the Eagles in Super Bowl 52. If you have an answer for why: Please get in touch, Bill Belichick....
DeMarcus Cousins's Injury Fucking Blows
Last season, the trade of DeMarcus Cousins from Sacramento to New Orleans realigned the league just in time to lend some shape to the NBA’s annual trade deadline; the feelings of Sacramento Kings fans notwithstanding, that was a vastly happier way for Cousins to find himself functioning as the start...
DeMarcus Cousins To Miss Rest Of Season With Torn Achilles
The Pelicans will play the rest of the season without their star big man after DeMarcus Cousins tore his left Achilles tendon trying to rebound his own free throw miss with just ten seconds remaining in New Orleans’s game against Houston tonight....
XFL's "Criminality" Ban, Implied Anti-Protest Rule Are Definitely Not About Race, No Sir
The one thing we know for sure after Vince McMahon announced in a conference call on Thursday that he will relaunch the XFL is that McMahon himself is still cagey. It’s tough to say we know much about the league, beyond McMahon’s promise that it’s coming in two years; we’re still in the stage of dev...
Christian Yelich Freed From Miami, Joins Surprisingly Fun Brewers Club
The hot stove is warm, baby. A week after Christian Yelich’s agent announced the outfielder’s relationship with the Marlins was “irretrievably broken,” he’s been shipped off to the Brewers in exchange for a solid haul of prospects: outfielders Lewis Brinson and Monte Harrison, second baseman Isan Di...
Big Doofus Glory Boy Robs His Partner Of Kill Shot, Loses<em></em>
With the Australian Open semifinals on the line, the mixed doubles team of Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Andrea Hlavackova were standing in aggressive position at net. They were then served a gentle ball that looked like it’d land within six feet of the net. What a relief! That’s a routine put-away for...
Please Don't Take Boogie And AD Away From Me
DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis are now 63 games into their career together, and the Pelicans are 34-29 over that span. That’s not any sort of record to be ashamed of, but it’s also just a little too heavy in the loss column to provide any assurance that Boogie and AD’s partnership will survive i...
Benfica Puts Together Gorgeous Goal
Perennial Deadspin punching bag Benfica did the first thing worthy of our praise in years today early in its match against GD Chaves when Jonas sliced in a half-volley to open the scoring:...
How The Patriots Could Have Kept Both Jimmy Garoppolo <i>And</i> Tom Brady
However severe the injury to Tom Brady’s throwing hand turns out to be, the mild panic it has generated in the run-up to Sunday’s AFC championship game underscores a reality that is frequently easy to take for granted: Though he may seem like he will play forever, Brady is not indestructible....
Tom Brady Wore Gloves To His Presser And Wouldn't Talk About His Hand Injury
Tom Brady wore the gloves again. It is two days before the Patriots play in the AFC title game against the Jaguars....
Anthony Davis Is On An Unholy Tear Right Now
It’s weirdly easy to forget about Anthony Davis. The Pelicans big man has a fraction of the personality that DeMarcus Cousins does, he’s played in just four playoff games in his five-year career (all of them losses to the Warriors), and he’s been very good for long enough that the shine of an ascend...
Arron Afflalo Swung At Nemanja Bjelica, Who Put Him In A Headlock
If you’re suffering from withdrawal after enjoying all the ridiculous details of last night’s Rockets-Clippers squabble, fear not, for there is more delicious NBA beef. Things got spicy between Arron Afflalo and Nemanja Bjelica midway through the second quarter of tonight’s Timberwolves-Magic game; ...
Christian Yelich's Agent Says Relationship With Marlins Is "Irretrievably Broken"
Christian Yelich is just about the last good Miami Marlins player standing, so naturally, he’d also like to escape the Derek Jeter regime’s austerity plan before the start of the season. Yelich’s agent Joe Longo spoke with ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick and made it abundantly clear that Yelich wants out imme...
Sleepy DeMarcus Cousins Pays Dearly For Passing Ball To Wrong Team
In the opening minutes of today’s Knicks-Pelicans tilt DeMarcus Cousins found himself in an awkward spot, loading up a pass to teammate Anthony Davis just as Davis shifted inside, and as defenders Enes Kanter and Kristaps Porzingis closed in to deny the action. Sunday afternoon basketball is sometim...
