Don't Worry, Those Devastated Giants Fans Are Doing Just Fine
I was a little bit worried about those Giants fans who had to leave Monday’s game in shame after one of them accidentally grabbed a fair ball. Fortunately, I was able to talk to Travis, the dude who made the mistake, and he assures me that they are doing just fine....
The First Time We Got High: A Deadspin Confessional
The Deadspin staff has a few self-described stoners and a few notable herbs. And because the latter are equal to the former, we will now anonymously share our stories of the first time we got high. (It might be pretty obvious who’s who.) Please feel free to share your first memory of being stoned be...

Andrew Shaw Miraculously Remembers What He Said To Official, Apologizes [Update]
In a stunning turn of events, Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw now recalls what he said to an official after being called for a penalty in Tuesday’s game against the Blues. The broadcast caught Shaw in the box banging his stick against the glass and saying something that definitely looked like, “Fuck ...
Browns Trade Second Overall Pick To Eagles For A Buttload Of Picks
Draft picks are flying around by the buttload this offseason. ...
Weed Activity Books Are Pretty Trippy, Man
The best place to get high is outside, where you can feel the air and look for cool bugs under logs or whatever. My coworker Drew and I recently climbed a mountain and got stoned, and it was fun as hell. Sadly, not everyone lives near a park or forest or beach where you can easily and discretely smo...
Chinese Keeper Goes All Superman, Flies Around To Save Three Would-Be Goals
Most videos posted here about goalkeepers tend to be of the lowlight variety. But today, let us celebrate Yang Qipeng of China’s Tianjin Teda for this stretch of heroic saves in a match against Liaoning Whowin....
The Cardinals Lost Their Seventh Game
Cubs pitcher Jason Hammel spun six innings of one-run ball and drove in both of Chicago’s runs Tuesday for the club’s 2-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals....
Nearly Perfect: Charles Barkley Was The Patron Saint Of Moral Victories
I’m a sucker for those moments when athletes lose themselves a little bit. When Jose Bautista gets mad at baseball and then throws a bat into baseball’s face; when Rajon Rondo realizes it’s him against the world and still asks LeBron James to come get some; when Baron Davis decides that the only app...
Corey Crawford Lost His Mind For A Second There
I think staged fighting is hockey’s biggest joke and I’m glad it’s on its way out. But give me a goalie hulking out, in full pads, and I lose my mind like a kid who just found out it’s a snow day, or the people from this perfect tweet. So my personal highlight of last night’s very busy 4-3 Blues win...
Andrew Shaw On Apparent Video of Him Shouting Gay Slur At Official: "I Don't Know What I Said"
The Blackhawks lost Game 4 against the St. Louis Blues 4-3 this evening in Chicago, and they’re now just a game away from their Stanley Cup defense ending after one round. The Blues scored two goals early in the third period to break a 2-2 tie, and the Blackhawks lost their cool. Andrew Shaw earned ...
These Korean Announcers Are Excited As Hell About Byung-ho Park's Huge Dingers
The Twins lost the first nine games of the regular season, then won four in a row, and finally lost again today to the Brewers. Their scoring has (obviously) increased greatly during their run of newfound competence, and their rookie first baseman Byung-ho Park has been at the center of it all. He’s...
Conor McGregor Is (Probably Not, But Who Knows?) Retiring
Conor McGregor—a loudmouthed troll; a genuinely brilliant fighter; and the UFC’s biggest draw and 145-lb. champion—is due to face Nate Diaz at 170 lbs. on July 9. The proposed fight, a rematch of a bout McGregor famously lost last month, is set to headline a card the promotion hopes will be its bigg...
No, ESPN Did Not Air Cardinals Fans Yelling Racial Slurs At Jason Heyward
Former Cardinals outfielder Jason Heyward made his return to St. Louis in Monday’s game with the Chicago Cubs, and the crowd soundly booed him for choosing to make money elsewhere. A serious and despicable claim quickly began to circulate: Cardinals fans supposedly went beyond booing Heyward, and ca...
ESPN's Curt Schilling Shares Bigoted Anti-Trans Meme On His Facebook Page
ESPN baseball analyst Curt Schilling just cannot stop putting bad memes on his Facebook page. It’s only been six months since he got suspended for comparing Muslims to Nazis, but here he is with some bad and dumb thoughts (which have since been deleted) about transgender people:...
Nearly Perfect: The Chicago Bulls Were Frauds
Children don’t pick their heroes, they gravitate to them. This youthful ignorance is blissful insofar as it frees one to feel that magnetic pull without questioning why it exists in the first place. The Jordan-era Chicago Bulls thus became the team of my childhood without any real reason beyond the...

Nearly Perfect: The Indiana Pacers Were A Vanished Ideal
The Indiana Pacers were a pretty, pretty basketball team. Do people know that now? It all came back at once, watching the bleary video of them facing the Bulls on Boxing Day of 1995. The in-game graphics reminded viewers that the Pacers had won the Central Division the year before—Michael Jordan’s b...
Noah Syndergaard Throws The Ball So Dang Hard
Big-ass Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard had a good game against the Phillies last night, striking out eight and allowing just one run in seven innings. He’s struck out 29 jamokes in his first 20 innings of the season, and he’s done it by throwing the ball really, really hard....
The Cardinals Lost Their Sixth Game
The Chicago Cubs shut out the St. Louis Cardinals in a 5-0 win Monday. Cardinals starter Mike Leake had six innings of one-run ball before everything fell apart in the seventh....
