Why Your Team Sucks 2015: Philadelphia Eagles
Some people are fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. This 2015 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here....

Dez Bryant To Handwringing Columnist: "You Are A Sucky Writer"
David Moore of the Dallas Morning News played Preseason Concern-Trolling Mad Libs today, filling in enough blanks to wring out a take on Dez Bryant, who’s conveniently been involved in two training camp fights. According to Moore, this latest fight makes Bryant ... a problem? Who knows, because Moor...
<i>Fallen Angels </i>Has The Prettiest, Artiest, Most Nonsensical Gunfights Ever Filmed
When I was in high school, Hong Kong art-film superstar Wong Kar-Wai’s 1994 classic Chunking Express was one of those weird movies that became a cornerstone of my whole idea that I was a Smart Person Who Appreciated Smart Things. I watched it over and over and over, and started telling people it was...
The NFL's Policy On Punishing Weed Smokers Is Arbitrary And Retrograde
Congratulations to Oday Aboushi on his one-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substances of abuse policy. Police arrested the Jets offensive lineman in January and charged him with driving while suspended, careless driving, and possession of a controlled dangerous substance after they found “a ...

RGIII Was Thrown To The Wolves
It’s a scene we’ve seen before: Robert Griffin III, lying motionless on the turf as he’s attended to by Washington’s medical staff. Last night’s preseason concussion, for which coach Jay Gruden is being blasted for leaving Griffin in behind a painfully overmatched offensive line, is all too familiar...
Baylor’s Investigation Of Sam Ukwuachu Was Shameful
As awareness has spread about rape—and pressure has increased on universities to prevent and address it among their students—two justice systems have formed. There’s the one we’ve had for centuries: the cops, the courts, and if it goes to trial, a verdict. Now there’s a second track, one where unive...
Marcell Ozuna Dings One Off The Top Of The Foul Pole
The Miami Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-7 tonight in a pretty-fun game between pretty-terrible teams. The coolest part was when Marcell Ozuna hit a two-run home run that plunked directly on top the crown of the left field foul pole....
<i>American Ultra </i>Is A Sweet, Ultraviolent Stoner Love Story
1. There’s an undeniable kick in watching a reedy nerd unleash cinematic violence, particularly when he’s confused by it, separate from the act, almost observing it. I’ve always thought this was the initial, primal appeal of The Matrix, how Keanu Reeves was a weirdly dispassionate participant in his...
RGIII Has A Concussion, But You Wouldn't Know It From Official 'Skins TV
Tonight’s official presentation of the Detroit-Washington game on the Redskins Broadcast Network left viewers understandably confused about Robert Griffin III’s condition after leaving the game tonight in the second quarter due to injury. That’s mostly because the network repeatedly asserted the tea...
Pipe Merchant J.R. Smith Is Going Back To Cleveland
Everyone’s favorite shooting guard/hoverboard pitchman J.R. Smith is returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers for another two years. Because he’s J.R. Smith and he loves fun, he broke the news from the beach via Instagram. Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports our man has signed a two-year ...
Baylor Player Found Guilty Of Sexual Assault
A Texas court has found Baylor Bears football player Sam Ukwuachu guilty of sexual assault. Ukwuachu, 22, was indicted of two counts of sexual assault by a former Baylor soccer player in October 2013. His trial began Tuesday....
Robert Griffin III Leaves Preseason Game With Shoulder Injury (UPDATE)
For some reason, Robert Griffin III stayed in Washington’s meaningless preseason game against the Detroit Lions for four series. Because Washington was missing Trent Williams and the rest of their offensive line is made of paper, Griffin got walloped half a dozen times before hurting his shoulder in...
Deadspin Up All Night: A Fat Panda
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. This used to be my shit right here....
Borussia Dortmund Go Down Three Goals, Shrug, Score Four, Win
Once-great, now-good lunchpail German side Borussia Dortmund opened up their Europa League campaign away to some team from Norway aptly named Odds BK. August NIT games don’t impress us much, especially against teams from Norway, but Odds came out and scored 13 seconds into the dang match!...
