Why Your Team Sucks 2013: Arizona Cardinals
Some people are fans of the Arizona Cardinals. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Arizona Cardinals. This 2013 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the 2013 NFL previews so far right here....
<em>SportsCenter</em>'s New Set Will Be Roughly 10,000 Square Feet
We got a preview of this before, but here's a new video showing off SportsCenter's new set, narrated by Steve Levy. He says the set will be nearly 10,000 square feet. Watch the video and it looks like it also includes approximately 750 anchor desks and 48 different studios. But seriously. Christ. T...
Jayson Werth Reacts To Super-Slow Pitch As If He Saw A Ghost
By the time Jayson Werth came to the plate in the fifth, he had already homered, and the Nationals had already chased Cubs starter Jake Arrieta. And that's when Carlos Villanueva snapped off a breaking pitch that was clocked at just 57 ... miles ... per ... hour. It's safe to say Werth never saw it ...
92nd Street Y Interview with Dutch Leonard
Cause we can't get enough Dutch Leonard round these parts here's a treat: a long 1998 interview at the 92nd Street Y. ...
This Is The Worst Column About Yasiel Puig Until Later Today, Probably
Here is CBS's Scott Miller, overtly injecting the cultural stereotyping that's lain just beneath the surface of the "hot-blooded Latino" Yasiel Puig reprimands that have shitted up the internet this week:...
Great Players Who Never Had A Great Moment
There have been great players who never had a great moment; men who went on year after year, running up formidable statistics, but were no more fearsome than anybody else in the few, crucial moments of their careers. They popped up or flied out in key at-bats, or did not even fail that spectacularly...
Mike Tyson And Evander Holyfield Reminisce About The Biting Incident
On Tuesday, we got to watch Mike Tyson play Punch Out for (maybe) the first time ever, but here we have some far more interesting footage from Fox Sports 1's upcoming series about the former heavyweight boxer's life: Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield sitting around like a couple of old pals and fond...
Last Night On Fox Sports 1: The Worst Sports Panel Discussion Ever
Above, Donovan McNabb, Andy Roddick, and Gary Payton discuss Ichiro's legacy and—I don't even know. This is such a mess. Roddick can barely speak. McNabb is really into doubles? I'm not convinced they know who Ichiro is. Everyone had a stat or fact or two to memorize and they can't pull that off. F...
Any readers going to Fan Expo in Toronto? Apparently Hulk Hogan will be arm wrestling Rob Ford tomorrow, and we need to talk to you if you'll be in attendance and can hold a phone in landscape mode. Don't smoke crack; do hit us up at [email protected]....
Tulsa's Puppy Mascot Will Be The Best Part Of College Football Season
Part of me thinks Tulsa's introduction of a Golden Retriever mascot is a way to distract attention from the FBI investigation into a sports betting ring involving the former AD. But another, more insistent part of me says shut up look at the puppy look at her little face!...
Wale Made A Song For RGIII
When we last checked in with D.C. rapper Wale, he was beefing with Toronto Raptors play-by-play man Matt Devlin, and we were laughing at the silliness of the beef. But Wale is spending his time more constructively these days, and recorded a song for the upcoming documentary about Robert Griffin III...

Vhy a duck? Leigh Montville's latest for Sports on Earth is a lot of fun:...
Knock 'Em Out The Box: Sport For Art's Sake
From the Sports Curator comes this 1921 Heywoood Broun column for the New York World:...
Jason Heyward Will Be Out A While With A Broken Jaw
When you've opened up a 15-game lead in the division, as the Braves have, playing out the string is all about not getting hurt before the playoffs. Mission not accomplished. Jason Heyward took a fastball to the face, and will need surgery on a broken jaw that could have him out the rest of the regul...
Chicago Fire's Communications Director Is Sick Of Your Bullshit
At any organization, the person who holds the title "communications director" does not possess the most glamorous of jobs. His or her days are spent writing bland electronic newsletters that will be ignored by almost everyone who receives them, desperately trying to get more "likes" for their organi...
The Eagles And Phillies Shared A Porn Collection At The Vet
Venerable old Veterans Stadium had its share of legends. The in-stadium courthouse. The holes in the walls of the cheerleaders' dressing room. But until today, we hadn't heard the one about the Blue Chest....
Johnny U Or The Mick?
Would he rather be a Unitas or a Mantle? That's the question Ralph Wiley asked in this 1983 Sports Illustrated article on John Elway:...
