Jason Bourne Is The Paranoid-Assassin Hero America Needed, And Deserved
I don’t know if I can call Matt Damon’s Bourne movies the best action franchise that’s come along thus far this century. After all, the original Fast and the Furious came out in 2001, a year before The Bourne Identity, and the idea of picking between Fast and Bourne is the kind of thing that makes m...
What The Hell Is Jerry Jones Talking About?
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones went on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas today, and he was asked about Greg Hardy’s bizarre comments, including ones about Tom Brady Gisele Bündchen. Jones responded by upping the bizarre ante....
Keegan-Michael Key Dresses Up As James Franklin, Surprises Penn State Football Team
Penn State alumnus and comedian Keegan-Michael Key returned to campus for homecoming week, and he pretended to be head coach James Franklin for the football team’s meeting. The players loved it, particularly when Key imitated Franklin’s handshake....
Rougned Odor Is Torturing The Blue Jays
Most baseball fans probably don’t know much about Rougned Odor, other than the fact that he has a funny name and comes from a family full of Rougneds. The 21-year-old second baseman had a quietly good regular season, though, and it’s taken him less than a game and a half to make a splash in these pl...
The Sucky New Peter Pan Reboot Oughta Fly Straight Into The Toilet
1. It is difficult not to approach Pan with a deep, weary sigh. I am fortunate that people pay me to write about movies, and it’s something that no one should ever take for granted, particularly in this day (year? decade? quarter-century?) of media turmoil. Every assignment is a gift. One of the man...
So, 3-On-3 Overtime Is Pretty Fun, Huh?
Along with coach’s challenges, the most noticeable new wrinkle in the NHL this season is the debut of 3-on-3 overtimes meant to decrease the number of games that go to a shootout. We saw its regular-season debut in last night’s 3-2 Lightning win over the Flyers, and it looked a lot like it did in it...

Burger King's Halloween Whopper Plays Trick-Or-Treat With Your Tongue, Butt
By now you’ve surely heard that ingestion of Burger King’s new Halloween Whopper could lead to a curious and colorful gastrointestinal endgame. I have nothing to add to this lively public discussion, toilet-wise, other than to suggest that if you are either excited or repulsed by this development, y...
Jeb Bush Says He Didn't Smoke Weed With Bill Belichick
Clay Travis of Fox Sports had a conversation with Jeb Bush that I don’t care to know more about, other than the part where he asked Bush if he smoked weed with Bill Belichick in high school. So, Jeb, did you ever light one up with Belichick? Ever smoked on that gas? Waked and baked? Celebrated 4:20?...
Fox Sports Humiliates America With Horrible USMNT Promo
Remember when a Mexican TV station used Donald Trump, a mass of whoopie cushions and mashed potatoes inhabited by a chaos demon, to troll the USMNT ahead of tomorrow’s game against Mexico? That was pretty good! They got us! Today, Fox tried to clap back with a promo video of its own:...
Tell Us Your Most Regrettable Tales Of Overeating
Yesterday in Deadspin Slack, the staff swapped stories of gluttony and woe. What’s the most you’ve ever eaten in one sitting, and how destructive was the aftermath? A few examples:...
Look! Jadeveon Clowney Did Something Cool!
The play above isn’t the most awe-inspiring piece of defensive line play you’ll ever see, but given how quiet the start of former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney’s career has been, you’ll have to forgive any Texans fans who want to make a big deal out of it this morning....
Danny Boyle Movies, Ranked
Danny Boyle is one of the most quietly adventurous filmmakers working today. He’ll do a science-fiction movie, then a period piece, then a Tarantino-type thriller, then a romantic comedy, then a conventional biopic, and he won’t so much as blink once. He is an auteur of the old-fashioned sort: His m...

Here's Jack Eichel's First Career NHL Goal
Sabres center Jack Eichel, who, if Connor McDavid didn’t exist, would be getting more hype and pressure than any rookie since Sidney Crosby, scored his first of many NHL goals at 9:11 of the third period of Buffalo’s 3-1 loss to Ottawa. On the power play, Eichel floated around from behind the net, t...
Matt Hasselbeck Went From Puking And Pooping To Beating The Texans
What Matt Hasselbeck did was undeniably impressive: overcoming oldness and a “bacterial infection” that hospitalized him earlier this week to lead the Colts to a 27-20 win over the Texans, Indy’s second straight win over a divisional opponent without the services of Andrew Luck. But the Colts appear...
