Draymond Green Needs To Get A Grip
Last night’s double-overtime game between the Rockets and Warriors was perhaps the most entertaining game of the season so far. The level of star power, shot-making, and end-to-end intensity made this one feel like a playoff game that had been transported to December, and that feeling was particular...
This Was A Hell Of A Sequence From Kevin Durant
The Rockets are up at halftime against the Warriors thanks to some strong shooting and rebounding, but Kevin Durant has been fantastic for Golden State. This sequence here was particularly great. First, he easily swatted Clint Capela, a center, then ran down the floor and made this silly pass to Dra...
Charles Barkley Doesn't Like How The Warriors Play "Little Girly Basketball"
Charles Barkley’s role on Inside the NBA is to spout unfiltered takes and tell viewers how the NBA is stupid now because nobody punches each other. Occasionally he lays down a good take but, more often than not, he grumbles out crotchety opinions about back in the day and straddles the border betwee...
Oakland Public Ethics Official Accuses Bay Area Politicans Of Abusing Free Warriors Tickets
Just before the NBA season started, the San Jose Mercury News reported that several Bay Area politicians had been abusing their access to Warriors tickets, using them to grease political wheels and pay off personal debts. The stadiums that the Warriors, A’s, and Raiders play in have clauses in their...
Former Chicago Bear Charged For Abuse Of Child Prisoners
A former lineman for the Chicago Bears who became a prison guard is facing nine felony charges in Kane County, Illinois for his role in a scheme to encourage violence amongst inmates at a juvenile correctional facility as a method of self-policing. ...
These Ecstatic Little Leicester City Fans Are Painfully Adorable
Oh man, this is so freaking cute I almost feel like puking....
Conor McGregor, Who Is Definitely Serious And Not Trolling The UFC, Registers To Fight As A Boxer
Conor McGregor was the champion of two UFC weight classes for all of two weeks until the UFC stripped him of the featherweight title last weekend. He hasn’t fought as a featherweight in almost a year, and the UFC vacated his title in part to spice up UFC 206's new main event and make it a title figh...
Keeper Scores Amazing, Last-Second Bicycle Kick, Caps It With Even Better Celebration
Goalkeeper goals are always special for the simple fact that it’s always great when a goalkeeper scores. But Baroka FC keeper Oscarine Masuluke’s stoppage-time equalizer that he knocked in with a crazy overhead kick, coupled with his crotch-grabbing celebration, deserves a spot in the goalie goal ha...
Hot Fucking Stove: Don't Touch The Stove It's Extremely Hot
Good news, friends: The Thanksgiving holiday brought us not just a bounty of meats, side dishes, and familial bonding, but also mildly interesting baseball transactions that could have anywhere from no to some impact on the upcoming season of “America’s pastime.”...
Mark Helfrich Fired By Oregon, Which Makes Sense
As a rule, Oregon doesn’t fire coaches. The last time they fired one was in 1976, instead choosing to promote from within. That’s a perfectly noble system to adhere to if you’re the sort of school that’s accepted lower expectations or manages to find a flawless in-house successor for every coach and...
Bodybuilder Decks Official, Flips Tables, And Completely Freaks Out After Losing
This here’s Giannis Magos. He’s a Greek bodybuilder who appears to be about 30 percent tanning oil and anabolic steroids by volume. Magos won his weight class, but finished second overall at a bodybuilding event this weekend in Greece and he lost his shit after finding out he finished second. Specif...
The Strange Case Of The Manhattan Bandit, Serial High School Track And Field Cheater
It seems like it would be fairly difficult to cheat in a cross country or track race. There’s little gamesmanship in foot racing. You show up, you run for the allotted distance, and you finish. It’s a punishingly simple sport, and unless you are doping, cheating is sort of impossible. Which is all t...
Half The Chiefs Had No Idea They Won
I very much enjoy this photo, taken just as Cairo Santos banked in the 34-yard, game-winning field goal off the left upright, because no one’s really sure if it was good or not. The reactions run the gamut, from No. 76's Laurent Duvernay-Tardif’s two-fingered exultation, to Santos’s uncertainty, to ...
KC Wins In Overtime On Bank-Shot Field Goal As Time Expires
A Kansas City-Denver game that looked to be another primetime stinker proved a thriller in the end as the Chiefs won on Cairo Santos’s field goal that ricocheted off one upright and in as overtime expired....
Stay Fed, Like This Good Bear
It’s the day after Thanksgiving, and this is you:...
Some Thoughts From My Mom On The National Dog Show
Every year my mom watches the National Dog Show. I’m pretty sure she has two motivations for doing this: The dogs are cute, and my dad and I won’t bother her during it. This makes her the perfect kind of expert for Deadspin readers—experienced and willing to speak her mind—so I asked her to predict ...
Do You See Gray Or Blue In The Vegas Golden Knights Logo?
This is the logo for the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights, as you may or may not already know. According to the franchise, the team’s new color scheme features four colors: steel gray, gold, black, and red. But some of us see a different color....
Vegas Golden Knights, Eh?
That up there is the logo of the Vegas Golden Knights, definitely a huge improvement on the “PLACE HOLDER” graphic that greeted fans who turned out for last night’s botched unveiling of the newest NHL team’s name, logo, and colors. But is the whole package any good? It’s time to have opinions....
The NHL's Vegas Team Name Announcement Was A Mess
The previously unnamed Las Vegas NHL team held an event tonight and revealed that they will henceforth be known as the Vegas Golden Knights. Owner Bill Foley and commissioner Gary Bettman talked a bunch and eventually made the announcement, but there wasn’t much suspense, as the pool had already bee...
Jay Cutler's Time In Chicago Is Probably Over With
As Barry wrote a month ago, Jay Cutler is highly unlikely to return to the Chicago Bears next year. He’s 33 years old and the Bears have to pay him $16 million dollars if they keep him next year, which would be an outrageous amount to pay the disgruntled sort-of-good quarterback of a 2-8 team in ful...
