Orlando Arcia Is Hilarious

Saquon Barkley Is So Good And It Just Doesn't Matter
The Giants are the worst sort of bad team: one whose braintrust clearly believed was a contender for a playoff spot in the offseason, only to be revealed as a total moribund disaster once the regular season began. Most of this is because Eli Manning is a husk of himself and presently either unable o...

The Jets And Predators Are Brawling
Predators-Jets is the best sort of rivalry: one born almost solely from the fact that both teams are very good and each stands in the other’s way of the Central title, the West, and, perhaps ultimately, a Cup.

Odell Beckham Jr.'s Extended Meltdown Continues
The Giants are getting flattened by the Eagles Thursday night. It’s a dismal show, bad enough that almost anyone could be forgiven for bailing on it early. But not everyone!

Report: Eli Manning Is Losing The Giants' Locker Room
By picking running back Saquon Barkley second overall in what was a quarterback-rich draft class, the Giants let it be known they were all-in this year on Eli Manning, who will turn 38 in January.

We at the Deadcast are not in the business of telling you not to care about things.
