Give Scott Foster The Vezina
The Blues have dressed an emergency goaltender this season, and the Hurricanes actually put their equipment manager Jorge Alves in a game last year—for precisely eight seconds with no shots on goal. Thursday night, Scott Foster not only became the first emergency goalie to make a save in an NHL game...
Kevin Durant To Referee: "Call The Fucking Foul You Bitch-Ass Motherfucker"
Kevin Durant was ejected just before halftime during last night’s game against the Bucks. It was his fifth ejection of the season, and based on audio captured by the TNT broadcast, he prooooobably deserved it....
The Michigan Goal Is So Hot Right Now
In Thursday’s 5-3 Nashville win over San Jose, Predators winger Filip Forsberg attempted—and almost nailed—a thing of beauty. While skating around the back of the net, Forsberg scooped the puck onto the blade of his stick and threw it on net while he skated past. He hit the post....

Robin Lopez Gets Ejected, Flips The Hell Out On His Way Off The Court
I’m not sure exactly what Robin Lopez is saying in this little tirade here—there are clearly several fuck yous, maybe what looks like an instance of bullshit, and some other stuff, all accompanied by very emphatic finger-jabbing—but he was very clearly pissed: ...

This San Diego Radio Station Has Existed For A Month And Is Already A Disaster
At the beginning of March, Entercom announced the launch of 97.3 The Machine, a new San Diego-based station with talk shows and sports programming.

Ronda Rousey Misunderstands Question, Gets All Cranky About Time Travel
Behold, the most cringe-inducing TV appearance you will see all week. Mike from ESPN’s Mike & Trey asked Ronda Rousey a pretty basic question, albeit with some slightly odd verbiage, about whether or not she would ever want to return to the UFC octagon. Rousey thought he was asking about time travel...
Goalkeeper Tries To Pretend He Didn't Do The Incredibly Dumb Thing He Just Did
To throw a ball into one’s own net is the single worst thing a goalkeeper can do. To throw the ball into one’s own net, and for that colossal boner to not be the biggest takeaway from the incident in question, takes some serious work. So we doff our cap to this Ethiopian keeper who managed just that...
The Golden Knights Made Me Look Stupid
In every life, a little shit must be eaten. Especially by sportswriters who think they know anything. Back in June, after the expansion draft, I encouraged everyone to look at the Vegas Golden Knights’ projected roster and wrote,...
"I Like The Whimpering": Deadspin Editors Mock Innocent Child Cheering For Duke
On Sunday, Duke lost to No. 1 seed Kansas. Depending on your loyalties—more precisely, depending on if you’re one of the North Carolinians that overpaid for your undergraduate education or one of the Northeastern private schoolers that couldn’t make the cut at Yale—you took this one of two ways....
Loyola-Chicago's Been Here Before
Loyola-Chicago punched its ticket to the Final Four on Saturday by handing out its first decisive ass-kicking of the tournament after all those heart-stopping wins.

Steph Curry Will Miss At Least The Start Of The Playoffs
Steph Curry’s knee injury could have been much, much worse, which is just about the only good thing you can say for the Warriors. It was diagnosed as a Grade 2 MCL sprain, and we won’t see Curry again in the regular season and for at least part of the playoffs. “There’s no way” he returns earlier th...
Loyola-Chicago Beats Kansas State, Is First Mid-Major In Final Four Since 2013

As Bad News Goes, Steph Curry's Injury Update Is Good News

Steph's Ankles Looked Great, And So The Universe Came For His Knee Instead
