Momentum is tomorrow’s starting pitcher and other drugs
It’s one of the oldest cliches in baseball, which means it’s one of the oldest cliches in American society. But it happens to be true. Whatever happens in the previous game doesn’t really carry over. We just assign that after the fact when it fits to try and make sense of a game that rarely doesn’t ...
The NFL rewards men who put their hands on women
That headline is a doozy, isn’t it?...
After the Dodgers' latest choke, here are some other guys who absolutely sucked at fielding
In appreciation of the Los Angeles Dodgers losing Game 4 of the 2020 World Series in spectacular fashion, reminding us all that defense — bad defense — can decide baseball games, we thought we’d take a look back at the worst fielders we’ve ever seen....
Let’s call it what it was: Another epic Dodgers’ October choke job
ARLINGTON, Texas — Epic, indeed....
A footie version of the Fog Bowl
What was Friday’s most impressive sports performance?...
Sit down, jerk — the flag doesn’t have cancer
The sentiment has been echoed a million times on the political right, so let’s just go with the latest one, which earned one-time “Punky QB” Jim McMahon some kudos from The Federalist and revoked any punk cred he ever had:...
Let's all say a prayer for Derek Carr as he stares at a possible all-backup O-line Sunday
Here is where the NFL is now with COVID-19. This Sunday, the Raiders’ franchise quarterback very well could be counting on an entire offensive line made up of backups....
Wilson spouting off on humanity of Antonio Brown is insulting and, yes, even DangerRuss
Further illustrating how the NFL has outlined our utter failure, if not caused it, was professional and self-appointed morality-sensor Russell Wilson clamoring for the Seahawks to sign Antonio Brown. I can’t really add any more to this than DeArbea already did, but Wilson needing to chime in is tr...
Daniel Jones brings us all together with less threatening incompetence than debate
There wasn’t much to choose from on Thursday night, that is if you didn’t opt to stream a show you hadn’t gotten to or finished yet to shut out reality. I hear the new season of Fargo is good. If you were looking for live entertainment, your choices boiled down to which version of two balloon-handed...
Spanish newspaper's description of Ansu Fati reminds us that the U.S. hasn't cornered the market on racism
Things are so terrible in this country that sometimes you can forget they can be equally shitty elsewhere. And while an interview between Jason Whitlock and President Orangutan may feel like sports “journalism” has completely fallen through the bottom of the well and is hanging out with the rock peo...
Trevor Lawrence should pull an Eli Manning because the Jets are the Jets (all the way!)
Trevor Lawrence should avoid the New York Jets at all costs. ...
Toxic pride is the NFL’s biggest obstacle to a much-needed playoff bubble
One of the biggest topics among some coaches, players and others throughout the NFL is a simple question: Will there be a bubble for the playoffs?...
How much should Cubs fans care about their team's horrendous owners?
Todd Ricketts is a petulant child, and he’s mad because his awful brother, Tom, gets all the attention as chairman of the Chicago Cubs. Todd and his sister, Laura, also run the franchise, but Todd doesn’t care about Laura. He just wants you to know that he’s one of the people who owns the team....
Of course Michigan’s emergency stay-at-home order does not apply to its football team
Way back when in August 2020, the Daily Tar Heel, UNC-Chapel Hill’s student newspaper, wrote in a headline that the school had a “clusterfuck” on its hands....
Bellinger and Dodgers’ Kid ’n Play footsie is adorable alternative to hazardous homer celebrations
You could see the playfulness right from the first tap, as Cody Bellinger crossed home plate and morphed into the “Kid” to Max Muncy’s “Play.” Belli just kept on tapping toes the whole way back to the dugout. It was a gloriously fun moment for baseball fans (though decidedly not actual Rays fans) to...
John Wall was way too busy playing spades to pay attention during an ESPN interview
Some things in life cannot wait. ...
Keep your dick in your pants, please
I really didn’t think this piece had to be written. As late as this morning, I was like “Come on, Julie, no one is seriously defending Jeffrey Toobin jerking off during a work meeting.”...
The NFC East is bad at football - so get ready to see it showcased on Thursday night
If the NFL were high school, the NFC East is comprised of players who couldn’t make the varsity football team, so they branch off and start another “district.” All seniors but not good enough to make varsity. ...
Deadspin Argues About Stuff: Dooley and Foote beef over Tua Time, rookie QBs
Dustin Foote: Alright Donovan, Tua Tagovailoa was just named the starter for the Miami Dolphins. They’ll face the Rams on November 1st after their bye week. Do you like the move to put Tua in now, just under halfway through the season?...
