Supercut: <i>Daredevil</i>'s Gumshoe-Journalist Subplot Is Butt
Netflix’s Daredevil is mostly bad. Sure, there are some good fight scenes, but the corny story arcs and bad acting that burden the first season makes it a better fit on the CW or ABC Family. And nothing in the first season is more cringe-worthy than the storyline concerning a grizzled old newspaper ...
Red Sox Broadcast Airs Video Of Metrodome Implosion That Never Happened
Yesterday’s NESN broadcast of the Red Sox-Twins game featured a mid-game interlude of the announcers discussing their memories of the dear, departed Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. It also featured video of the Metrodome being imploded—something that never happened....
Chip Kelly: I'm Not Racist, You Guys
Well, this was inevitable. With all the eyebrow-wriggling and “makes u think though, right?” comments that have been made about Chip Kelly by the likes of LeSean McCoy and Stephen A. Smith, Kelly has now come out and publicly stated that he is not, in fact, The Real Racist....
Deadcast: Are The FIFA Arrests Bullshit?
As you know by now, American officials conducted a huge sting operation two nights ago that culminated in the arrest of a shitload of FIFA officials, all of whom were tied to numerous instances of bribery and outright corruption. Now, I think it’s safe to say that we all despise FIFA, and nothing pl...
Tom Thibodeau Fired, Called Out By Bulls Owner
The Bulls fired intense, sweaty mess Tom Thibodeau today after their season ended in the second round to the Cavaliers. It seems odd to fire a coach who led his team to the playoffs in each of his five seasons, but owner Jerry Reinsdorf’s quote in a team statement hints that there was more to the de...

Jerry Jones: Still Skeevily Groping Women?
It’s been awhile since we’ve had a chance to enjoy(?) some pictures of gross-ass Jerry Jones fondling women while desperately trying to work up a boner, but we can (apparently) do it again today thanks to some new pictures published by Terez Owens....
The Best <i>Entourage</i> Cast Outtakes From Their <i>GQ</i> Cover Story
Earlier this week, GQ posted a big profile I did of the Entourage cast for their upcoming movie. As always, there was plenty of juicy shit that couldn’t make its way into the final piece, like Jeremy Piven’s thoughts on In-N-Out Burger, which are very important for you to know about. You can read ma...
The Hawks Were Fun, Occasionally Terrific, And Not Revolutionary
The Finals matchup is set, and thanks to a scheduling quirk and two mostly non-competitive conference finals series, we’ve got nearly an entire week with no basketball. It’s a good time to revisit how we got here....
Nintendo-Inspired "Bolts Of Steel" 3-D Projection Game Is Outstanding
For the past few playoff games at Amalie Arena, the Tampa Bay Lightning have used their now-ubiquitous 3-D ice projection system to display a simulation of the classic Nintendo Blades of Steel game onto the playing surface—using the actual goals and everything. It’s the best usage of the technology ...
Steph Curry's Sports Baby Is Back. This One's For The Haters.
Riley Curry, top sports baby in the game right now, was back on the postgame dais to help her dad celebrate winning the Western Conference Finals. Her performance last night was dedicated to all the trash people who had a problem with her debut....
Duncan Keith Might Be Superhuman
I was pulling hard for Chicago last night, not because I want them to win this series or because I want Anaheim to lose, but because I wanted to see the Blackhawks play the Ducks one more time. Chicago’s hard-fought 5-2 win, which required holding off yet another attempted Ducks comeback, means we g...
How Did We All Get Sucked Into James Harden's Nightmare?
He had more turnovers than shot attempts. The whole performance was bad—sickeningly bad, broadly and in nearly all its details—but the main thing to know is that in last night’s Game 5 elimination, Houston’s James Harden conveyed the ball to the Golden State Warriors more times (13, a playoff record...

The entire Drunkspin staff believes very strongly in taking an ethical approach to beer journalism.

Klay Thompson Suffers "Concussion-Like Symptoms" After Knee To Head
The NBA’s concussion policy is flawed. It is not necessarily that the NBA, its teams, and its players are trying to hide concussions—though they certainly have the incentive to do so—but that concussions cannot be adequately diagnosed by a ten-minute battery of tests in the locker room. We got a sta...
The Golden State Warriors Advance To The NBA Finals
Despite the 104-90 victory, the Warriors didn’t make it easy on themselves. They shot only 41%—and a putrid 23% in the first quarter—and never got their three-point shooting on track. Andrew Bogut picked up two early fouls, and Klay Thompson picked up five pretty stupid fouls (and had to go back to ...
Ray McDonald Arrested Again, For Allegedly Violating Restraining Order
Former Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers defensive end Ray McDonald was arrested this evening by Santa Clara (Calif.) police for violating a restraining order. The restraining order was issued in connection with an incident that occurred two days ago, when McDonald was arrested on misdemeanor do...

Chart: The Qatar World Cup Death Toll Is Stunning [Update]
The Washington Post has put together a chart illustrating the body counts of workers involved in construction for the last four Olympics and two World Cups, and compared them to the reported death toll for the 2022 Qatar World Cup....
