Tom Brady was fine, but give the Bucs’ defense their due
There is zero chance I would have believed you last week if you told me that the Chiefs, with one of the most explosive and creative offenses in the NFL, and with one of the most talented arms the league has ever seen, would be kept out of the end zone in the Super Bowl. But that happened. The Bucca...
Farewell to Pedro Gomez, a pioneer for Latinos, baseball fans, and aspiring journalists
If you’re of a certain age group — mainly if you were born in the mid to late 1990s — Gomez was probably the first Latino you saw regularly report on ESPN. By definition, the late journalism legend was a pioneer for a multicultural community that has been granted minimal access to mainstream airwave...

Please, please, please before you bring out these “Patrick Mahomes will never be the GOAT Takes” I beg of you to really dissect the game you just watched....
There is something about Brady, I just have no idea what it is
Anyway, to the game. Over the next few days, you’ll see plenty of takes, and the term “GOAT”, which needs to be erased from our vernacular yesterday. I don’t know if Brady is the greatest. With an unimaginable seven rings and a record five Super Bowl MVPs, he’s the most decorated, that’s for sure. I...
SEE IT: Streaker makes only memorable play of Super Bowl LV
In the most exciting play of the game tonight while the Chiefs offense was on the field, a fan, who probably bet his own prop about a fan running on the field… ran on the field. The odds were +800. CBS did their best to cut away from the fan, but luckily, we have fan footage from the stands. Let’s b...

Alisson kicks Premier League to Manchester City
Two and a half months ago or so, I wrote this. I certainly wasn’t the only one, and perhaps I let my red-colored view of the world get the better of me just a touch as well. While Pep Guardiola was coming under more fire than he ever had while in charge of Manchester City, possibly at any of his sto...

After all these years, Brady still passing... on responsibility for supporting Trump
A.J. Delgado, a former senior advisor to Donald Trump, and self-described “now proud critic,” made clear on Sunday just what kind of equivocating nonsense that is, and how far people will go to try to excuse having been in line with a would-be dictator....

The Super spread: Deadspin’s Super Bowl pick ATS
Tampa Bay isn’t a home team because they get to play in their home stadium. The league alternates home and away teams by conference every year. Honestly, Tampa just got lucky. Speaking of coincidences, the Bucs will not be the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home market. And with only a thi...
This is Ariel, the girl Chiefs coach Britt Reid, Andy’s son, hospitalized
Her name is Ariel, and she is five years old. She’s fighting for her life because Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid, son of Andy Reid, smashed into the car she was sitting in. Reid told officers he had been drinking....
A Super NFL recap of who won what and who’s headed for Canton
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, the culmination of a lot of work put in by… us, the Deadspin staff. Seriously, go read up, my teammates here did a hell of a job the past couple of weeks. The game tonight is the biggest thing in the sports world, but Saturday was really busy, with the NFL awards and Pro Foot...
