Hornets' Jeremy Lamb Hit A Much More Reasonable Game-Winner Against The Raptors This Time
In any other situation, you, the reader, would be a fool to pick the constantly-underachieving Charlotte Hornets to beat one of the top seeds in the Eastern Conference. Yet the Hornets were able to beat the visiting Toronto Raptors on Friday, 113-112, because they happen to employ a player that appe...

Jack Grealish Got Punched In The Head By An Opposing Fan And Went On To Score The Game-Winning Goal
Less than 10 minutes into the EFL Championship match between Aston Villa and Birmingham City, a Birmingham supporter ran onto the pitch during a dead period of play, charged at Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish and landed a punch that hit the side of the player’s head.

Gordon Hayward Almost Gave The Game Away, Then Hit The Game-Winner
With 7.6 seconds left and a 109-106 lead against the Kings Wednesday night, Gordon Hayward committed a cardinal sin of NBA defense: he fouled a three-point shooter. The contact was soft, but Buddy Hield got himself to the line for three shots and tied the game up, leaving the Celtics without any tim...
Chicago NBC Station Inadvertently Turns Kirk Cousins Into Khalil Mack's Mom
Okay, this is a pedantic grievance, but if you’re on Deadspin you come here for or at least tolerate the pedantry. This tweet from NBC Sports’ Chicago Bears site is wrong as hell:...

<i>Gamer </i>Was A Batshit Great Bad Movie That Was A Decade Ahead Of Its Time
You probably missed Gamer. I missed Gamer. It was a 2009 movie with a terrible title, a terrible trailer, and reviews that ranged from mediocre to damning. One particular review said that it was “a film that tries to criticize the commercialization of violence, even though it itself is commercialize...

There's Only One <i>Game Of Thrones</i> Fan Theory That Matters Anymore
The time has come once again for Game of Thrones—the hit HBO show about hiking with your pals and smooching your relatives—to return to TV after a lengthy absence.

Here Is A Necessary NBA All-Star Game Highlight
If you didn’t watch the NBA all-star game, I don’t think you missed much (I can’t say for sure if you missed anything good, because I also did not watch the game. The internet at my apartment has been broken for two weeks!), but there is one cool play from the game that you should see....

The Warriors Coaching Staff Is Heartbroken About Missing The All-Star Game
The Warriors coaching staff has worked two All-Star Games in their run of dominating the league, and that apparently that’s enough. Or maybe they just really don’t want to spend a weekend in Charlotte. (Either way, who can blame them?) After beating the Lakers last night, though, the coaches’ midsea...
Rudy Gobert Breaks Down In Tears While Talking About His All-Star Snub
Rudy Gobert should be an all-star this year. He’s averaging 15 points, 12.8 boards, and 2.2 blocks per game, and he anchors the league’s fifth-best defense, which is 7.7 points per 100 possessions better than league average when he plays. The Jazz have turned their season around and solidified a pla...

<i>Madden</i> Is As Full Of Anonymous Players As The NFL Itself
It’s hardly a selling point, but this year’s edition of Madden has the real Kyle Lauletta. The game’s rendering of the Giants’ rookie quarterback—who stepped into a blowout win against Washington in Week 13 to throw five incompletions and a pick and then meekly returned to clipboard and donut-gofer ...

Fuck This Fucking Shit
The Patriots beat the Chiefs 37-31 in an overtime instant classic at Kansas City, clinching the AFC title and a Super Bowl berth against the Rams. Tom Brady engineered long drives down the field at the end of regulation and in overtime—both of which ended with rushing touchdowns by Rex Burkhead....
There's Only One Way This Could Get Worse
It is absolutely rotten that the Saints’ season was ended at least in part by two blown pass interference calls, including an inexplicable one in the last two minutes. Rams corner Nickell Robey-Coleman, who smashed Saints receiver Tommylee Lewis in the head while the ball was in the air, said of the...
