Gregg Popovich Loves Photos
While the Spurs were in New York for a Jan. 11 game against the Nets, coach Gregg Popovich apparently nabbed a ticket to Hamilton. Another audience member got the evidence by taking a photo with Popovich, who looked absolutely delighted in his beatnik sweater....
Here's Michael Jordan Gossip That We Desperately Want To Believe
This week, a day after former Chicago Bulls assistant coach Johnny Bach died at 91, we got an email. A friend of a friend had sent the tipster a summary of a 2011 dinner with Bach. It was filled with all sorts of fun anecdotes about Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Jerry Krause, and more characters o...
This Danny McBride-Lookin' Motherfucker's Rap Song About The Panthers Is Actually Good
Yeah, we spend a lot of time here making fun of people who decide to create dopey music videos, and I realize that the one rule everyone on earth should follow is “Don’t make that rap video.” And yet, I am here for this dude’s rap song about the Panthers, which was posted way back in December but wa...

Panthers Linebacker Shaq Thompson To Seahawks Fans: "Fuck Y'all, Fuck The Seahawks"

What Has Chip Kelly Learned?
The 49ers formally introduced Chip Kelly yesterday, and the media immediately wanted to know if Kelly intended to change anything from his stint in Philadelphia, where his people skills rubbed some players the wrong way and a good number weren’t too sad to see him go. “I don’t know if I can be signi...

Time Inc. Is In The Midst Of A Replyallpocalypse

Russell Westbrook Dunked The Nuggets Out Of The Arena
The Denver Nuggets, a bad basketball team, actually gave the Oklahoma City Thunder a close game last night. A rejuvenated Danilo Gallinari hung 27 on them, Kenneth Faried did some Kenneth Faried things, and rookie point guard Emmanuel Mudiay managed to play 33 not-totally-embarrassing minutes. Denve...
Cezar Guerrero Wild Desperation Shot Forces Overtime Against San Diego State
SDSU held for an home win tonight against Fresno State, but it came with some difficulty after an overtime period forced when Fresno’s Cezar Guerrero hit a miracle three-pointer at the buzzer.

Tyrese Has A Goddang Benihana In His Backyard, And It Looks Dope As All Heck
So my fellow Deadspin bloggers and I were scouring the internet for premium clickable content today when we—okay, it was just Samer—stumbled across the following video of singer/actor/philosopher/sex symbol Tyrese Gibson dancing and screaming and just generally flourishing to that one Ace Hood bange...
Philly Radio Dipshit Calls Jason Kelce A "House Negro"
Sports radio is full of terrible morons who use their short tempers to draw out a two-minute topic into a 10-minute segment. (Examples can be found here, here, here, and here.)

New Eagles Coach Doug Pederson Immediately Grilled About Chiefs' Lethargic Offense In Playoffs

Knicks Win In Double-OT After Carmelo Anthony Hits Tying Three At End Of Regulation
What could possibly get the whole Internet talking about a January afternoon Sixers-Knicks game? The combination of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and a free League Pass preview. Just when we were ready to rub a Sixers win in the face of our New York-based co-workers, ‘Melo had to pull this rabbit out o...
Andy Reid Is Still Andy Reid
When Andy Reid was fired by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012, our own Tom Scocca called him a “powerful but slow football thinker,” and described what it was like to watch Reid’s offense slowly, painfully deny itself a shot at a Super Bowl victory:...
