A Salute To John Bogle, A Real Fucking People's Hero
Che Guevara looks good in a beret, and Eldridge Cleaver had his moments, but today let us all take a moment to honor Real Motherfucking Hero of the People: John motherfucking Bogle, who has kept hundreds of billions of dollars out of the pockets of Wall Street greedheads....
Which Country’s Olympic Team Is The Horniest?<em></em>
Greetings from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! I can’t believe Wisconsin gave away this parcel of land to Michigan for free back in the day. Pretty weak, imho. Those gravy-bathing cheesehumpers let a copper-rich peninsula fall into the hands of a state that isn’t even connected to it. If I were Mic...

Sandwich Breads, Ranked
Hey yo, the book tour for The Hike continues its drunken march down the West Coast tonight with a reading in Portland, and then two more stops in the Bay Area after that. So come on out and don’t be weird about it....
Would Athletes Be Better If They Were Psychic?<em></em>
Before we get into the Funbag, I just wanna say that my second novel, The Hike, comes out today. You can get it in hardcover, or on Kindle, or via Gregorian chant. There’s also an audiobook of it for lazy people. I’ll be out on tour for the next two weeks whoring it out to you, the reading public. T...
Newspaper Comics, Ranked
We’ve been reminiscing about the funny pages, which provoked the single most blisteringly, violently hot take in the history of our blog site: Andy Capp is superior to Calvin and Hobbes, according to one staffer. Most of the staff ratings were sane and good, however, so we’ve averaged them for your ...
Jonathan Lucroy Has A Quirk When He Bats
Many MLB players have odd routines at the plate. Ichiro draws his bat out in front of himself like a bow. David Ortiz takes approximately five hours to adjust his gloves. Jonathan Lucroy touches his shoulders. The Brewers catcher’s habit isn’t as elaborate as others’, but it is amusing....
In Defense Of Cargo Shorts<em></em>
I was at the airport late Saturday night and the airline lost my bag. You don’t care about this, of course, because it wasn’t YOUR bag. Bitching about a lost bag is like bitching about a bad beat in poker. You’re the only one who truly cares about your plight, and that’s what makes it such a lonely,...
Paul Pogba Rejects That Weak Shit
Paul Pogba is reportedly the subject of a massive bidding war this week, one which will end with Manchester United most likely paying a fee in the neighborhood of Guyana’s GDP for his services. Or maybe he’ll stay at Juventus. Who knows. The European press makes HoopsHype look like the goddamn Paris...
Let’s Talk About Your First Beer<em></em>
Before we get into the Funbag, I got some news to bust out. First off, the Deadcast is on hiatus. We’re gonna bring the podcast in-house and attempt (in vain) to un-fuck all our current tech woes. So be on the lookout for a retooled podcast in the coming… weeks? Maybe a touch longer than that. ...
Please Do Not Puke While Standing<em></em>
Hey yo, before we get into the Funbag, some brief announcements. First off, I’m gonna host the Deadspin Awards LIVE from New York this Thursday night. You can watch it over at our Facebook page. I bet it won’t be a sad and lonely experience for you at all!...

Boris Berian's Legal Fight Against Nike Could Change Track And Field Forever (UPDATED)
UPDATE: Late on June 23, Nike dropped their breach of contract suit against Boris Berian, not because they were wrong or because the bad PR had reached toxic levels, but as a consideration of the stress the suit was causing Berian. Or Boris, as the congenial Nike spokesperson likes to call him....
