Snapchat Vikings Fan Has One Thing Go Right In His Life
If you use Snapchat—probably not, because you read Deadspin and are statistically most likely to be an irritable dad with a law degree—you were probably captivated by the romance of the week. Two University of Wisconsin students, “Mystery Girl” and “Vikings Fan,” noticed each other on the school’s S...
Rangers Rookie Nomar Mazara Had Himself A Damn Fine Inning
When Shin-Soo Choo went down with a calf injury, the Texas Rangers called up 21-year-old rookie Nomar Mazara to take his place in right field. Through his first 19 games, Mazara has hit .333/.386/.486 with three homers, and last night against the Blue Jays he basically won a game all by his dang sel...
Source: Nashville Sports Guy Was Actually Fired For Profane Facebook Live Rant

Now, a source at the station tells us that’s not why he wa...
I Want To Marry This Tony Parker Pass
Before the final sequence of last night’s game between the Thunder and Spurs had everyone staring at their television and muttering, “What the hell just happened?” Spurs point guard Tony Parker made a play that turned me into a gross cartoon wolf....
Things Are Getting Nasty In Caps-Penguins
Washington and Pittsburgh is a hell of a matchup under any circumstances, but this year—with the Capitals the Presidents’ Trophy Winners and the Penguins the league’s hottest team over the second half—many (bettors, anyway) have this pegged as an early Stanley Cup Finals. And it’s only the second ro...

High School Football Player Hit With Felony Charge And 69 Counts Of Indecent Exposure For Yearbook Dong-Pic Prank
High school is a time for immaturity, revelry, and doing dumb pranks with your friends. Sometimes these pranks are good and funny, like the one these Ohio teens who fake-delivered a baby on court at a basketball game pulled. Sometimes they’re vicious and mean. Sometimes they’re just stupid, which br...
Lionel Messi Takes On Giant Inflatable Demon Robot Keeper
A Japanese game show recently tested out the “Why don’t you just play with a huge goalkeeper who can block the whole goal?” theory on Lionel Messi. He showed that, even if you get a nightmarish, house-sized Miitomo-looking demon to guard the goal, he’ll still score on you....
Report: Colin Cowherd And Jason Whitlock To Host <i>All Takes Matter</i> At Fox Sports
Going by the ratings, no one wants to see scuttling opinion-haver Colin Cowherd and motivational speaker Jason Whitlock on their televisions. Despite this, they will be the new hosts of a Fox Sports show tentatively titled Speak For Yourself. (There’s still time for Fox to take up our suggestion to ...

Fox Sports: Curt Schilling Approached Us, But We Passed
When he isn’t sharing shitty Facebook memes and complaining about people scolding him for sharing shitty Facebook memes, former ESPN baseball analyst Curt Schilling is looking for a job. Fox Sports, the most obvious destination, doesn’t want him....
Chris Sale Will Clown You
White Sox ace Chris Sale has gotten off to a great start this season, having allowed just nine runs in his first 43.1 innings. His strikeout rate has been a bit lower than usual—just 7.9 per nine innings compared to last year’s absurd 11.8 per nine—but he’s still my favorite punch-out artist in the ...
ESPN Edited Curt Schilling Out Of An Airing Of The '04 Red Sox <i>30 For 30</i>, And People Are Mad
Four Days in October is an ESPN 30 for 30 series film that first aired in 2010.

The Streaky-Ass Miami Heat Just Barely Won A Series They Dominated
The Heat are likely going to be favored over whoever squeezes out the Indiana-Toronto series that wraps tonight the time you’re finishing your Game of Thrones-Silicon Valley doubleheader. Even if it’s Toronto (which hasn’t won a playoff series since 2001) and we get the No. 2 v. No. 3 seed matchup, ...
Phillies Pitchers' Many Strikeouts Lead To Wacky Accidental Klan Reference
The Phillies’ pitchers this year are mowing down batters at a ridiculous clip. The staff averaged more than 10 strikeouts per nine innings through April, the first time that’s happened in Major League history. I know this because I checked out the coverage over at philly.com because of this facepalm...
