Mexico Boss Extremely Pissed About Example Neymar Sets For The Children<em></em><em></em><em></em>
If you tuned in to the earlier, less exciting World Cup game today, you might think you saw Brazil ride a fierce second half performance to a well-deserved 2-0 defeat of Mexico.

Chuck Liddell And Tito Ortiz Will Run It Back, For Some Reason
So it’s come to this: Chuck Liddell, who was punched in the head so many times that he was forced to retire from professional MMA almost a decade ago, will come out of said retirement to fight Tito Ortiz, who’s pivoted from fighting other old guys to being a MAGA dude back to fighting other old guys...
Kam Chancellor Says He's Done, And That's A Bummer
Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor tweeted out a grim announcement last night, saying he had to “walk away from the game because of the risk of paralysis.” A neck injury had wiped out the final seven games of his 2017 season, and, as Chancellor put it, a “final test showed no healing.” Chancellor is don...

MMA Fight Somehow Gets Weirder After The Fake Heart Attack
Johnathan Ivey fought Travis Fulton in the main event of this weekend’s Colosseum Combat XLV event in Kokomo, Ind., and while fans didn’t exactly get their money’s worth of action, they at least got to witness an all-time theatre of the absurd moment.

Goddamn, John Tortorella Is <i>Pissed</i>
I want to begin by noting that it’s pretty funny that this latest, greatest round of beef between the Blue Jackets and Penguins is all over Jack Johnson, of all players, a bottom-pairing defenseman on the wrong side of 30 and coming off his worst season as a pro. That said: Give me the beef!...
Noggin Bonked By Errant First Pitch
An unfortunate fellow was bonked in the head by an errant first pitch before Sunday’s Braves-Cardinals game.

Saturday night the Mariners celebrated the 20th anniversary of “Turn Ahead The Clock” night in a home game against the Kansas City Royals.

Kylian Mbappé Annihilates Argentina And Sends France To The World Cup Quarterfinals
For a solid hour, today’s France-Argentina match didn’t make a lick of sense. Then Kylian Mbappé up and decided to impose his own order on the proceedings, and that was that. France won by a deceptive scoreline of 4-3 that doesn’t at all communicate the level of French dominance on display....
Benjamin Pavard's Incredible French Wondergoal, In Extreme Slow Motion
Yeah, yeah, we GIF’d this earlier but something this spectacular deserves the full Deadspin Video treatment. Perhaps the goal of this year’s World Cup, Frenchman Benjamin Pavard—who cashes checks from, uh, Stuttgart—hammered home this half-volley with, shall we say, elan. ...
