Kevin Durant Keeps Getting Ejected
Through the first 810 games of his career, Kevin Durant was ejected just twice. Through the first 18 games of this season, he’s been booted off the floor three times. Last night brought us the latest incident, in which Durant got into it with Boogie Cousins during the final minutes of the game, earn...
Stephen Curry Leaves Locker Room On Crutches After Rolling Ankle
Stephen Curry left the court during the final minute of tonight’s Warriors-Pelicans game after rolling his ankle—able to walk off on his own, but not comfortably:...
Shaun Livingston And Referee Courtney Kirkland Suspended For Bumping Heads
Warriors guard Shaun Livingston and referee Courtney Kirkland have each been suspended for their little altercation from yesterday—Livingston for one game and Kirkland for one week. Livingston was assessed a technical and ejected at the time; Kirkland was only found partially responsible after a lea...
An Early Guide To The New York Giants' Head Coaching Search
On Monday, the New York Giants relieved head coach Ben McAdoo of his McAduties. It was somehow both a long time coming and abrupt—over a little under two seasons as the team’s coach, McAdoo first positioned himself as something like a rising star and then instantly and dramatically biffed everything...
Robbie Gould Clowned The Bears
Kicker Robbie Gould’s 11-year tenure with the Bears came to an unceremonious end when the team released him a week before the 2016 season started. GM Ryan Pace believed that Connor Barth was better and more affordable than Gould, though Barth was cut last month for Cairo Santos. On Sunday, Gould, t...
The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is This Cheerleader's Sorcery
This is just a six-second video, but like any great Vine-length work of art, I’ve already slowed it down and watched it frame by frame multiple times, trying to parse its genius....
Tarik Cohen Runs Like 90 Yards For 61-Yard Punt Return TD
Nothing gets a fan screaming in fear and disgust like a punt returner running the wrong way, but when the 49ers kicked to the Bears’ Tarik Cohen, the Chicago returner made the worst possible decision seem like a perfect one. Cohen received the punt at his own 40 yard-line and ran back to his 25 whi...
Tiger Woods Has Recovered From His Lousy Saturday And Is Murdering The Ball
We can probably rule out Tiger Woods winning this weekend’s Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. He was right in it after two rounds, but a Saturday 75 dropped him well back of the lead, and Rickie Fowler has spent Sunday birdying literally all the damn holes, so Tiger is out of it....
Old, Fucked-Up Tiger Woods Plays Real Golf For The First Time In 10 Months<em></em>
After 301 days, Tiger Woods is once again playing golf. The 41-year-old was -1 after the first four holes of today’s Hero World Challenge, and his tee shots looked good. Surely, Tiger is back, for real this time, no, seriously, his body will hold up, for sure....
Minnesota's Amir Coffey Makes Sweet Butt Shot
When you get knocked down, stand back up. Or stay down, wait for the shot you just missed to bounce right back to you, and try again from the floor....
Wayne Rooney Scored From Half Field And Maybe Saved Everton
Everton came into today’s game in 17th place in the league and only two points ahead of their opponents, West Ham. A loss would have sunk them into the relegation zone and extended their run of trash performances. They won 4-0, thanks to a goal from Ashley Williams (who is still butt) and a hat tric...
John Fox On Bears: “We Don’t Know Exactly What We’re Doing”
Yesterday the Bears released Tre McBride, a wide receiver whose 92-yard performance in Week 8 against New Orleans is the best single-game receiving performance for any player on the team this year. McBride also played on 78 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles....
The Chicago Bulls Play "The Beautiful Game"
Casual basketball fans tend to wax rhapsodic about the fluid ball movement and deep unselfishness of San Antonio or Golden State. But true lovers of the sport look only to Chicago. Study every detail of this possession from last night’s Suns-Bulls game; this is what peak performance looks like....
Cody Rhodes Is Planning The Biggest Indie Wrestling Show Ever. Can It Work?
On Monday evening, Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin reported that Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks (Nick and Matt Jackson) are planning an imposing project for 2018: An independent wrestling supershow on the scale of a major WWE event. These three are arguably the biggest non-WWE draws in the United ...
Texas Comes Back From Down Five With 10 Seconds Left, But Loses In OT
The Texas Longhorns, despite being down 33-54 with 15 minutes to go in their game this afternoon against Gonzaga, fought all the way back to just outside striking distance, down by five with 10 seconds to play....
NBA Teams Allowed To Continue Playing After Combined 20-Point First Quarter
The Heat and Bulls are playing this afternoon in Chicago. Probably no one should be watching this game—the Heat are meh, and the Bulls are whoa that milk belongs in the trash, man—but there are few options on a football Sunday if you’re an NBA fan, and this was the only 3:30 p.m. game on today’s sla...
Kenjon Barner Pulls Jaylen Watkins Away From The Football Like It’s A Grenade
The 9-1 Eagles are beating up on the 3-7 Bears today, leading 24-0 at halftime. But the smartest play of the day goes to Kenjon Barner. ...
Tiger Woods's Trump National Tune Up Was Apparently A Smashing Success
Tiger Woods played in a foursome Saturday at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida, with current world number one Dustin Johnson, idiot President Donald Trump, and Brad Faxon, a PGA Tour Champions player and Fox Sports golf analyst. These casual rounds have taken on real meaning as Tiger gear...
Ah Yes, These Are The Orlando Magic I Remember
I am very glad I didn’t say anything especially glowing about the Orlando Magic back on November 2, when they were “good,” before they remembered that they cannot truly be good, for they are the Orlando Magic. They almost fooled me!...
Come Show Us Your Good Dogs
Sure, there’s the National Dog Show. But let’s be honest. You, dear Deadspin reader, probably also have a dog. And while it might not be some fancy breed, and you probably have no idea what it’s lineage is, and it definitely doesn’t walk in a perfect line, it is still a very good dog. Possibly, a gr...
