Deadspin Awards: Ass Team Of The Year
The Deadspin Awards will take place on Dec. 5, and you can come! We also need our readers to decide the winners of these prestigious honors. Today, we ask you to help us determine the answer to an important question: Who is the Ass Team of the Year?...
Baker Mayfield Is Still Taking Shots At Hue Jackson
You would think having the worst head coaching record with a team in the entire history of the NFL would have been enough punishment—or enough of an indictment. And if not, maybe getting unceremoniously fired midseason might have been sufficient. But no, not only does Hue Jackson have to live with t...
Dammit, Durant
Stephen Curry has missed the last 10 Warriors games with a groin injury. Draymond Green has missed nine of the last 11 Warriors games. The Warriors have looked mostly like crap over that stretch, with losses at home to the Bucks and Thunder, and road losses in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and to th...
Report: MLB Donated To Cindy Hyde-Smith As A Favor To Mitch McConnell
MLB’s explanation for why they donated $5,000 to the runoff campaign of disgraceful shitheel Cindy Hyde-Smith was vague and lame and doesn’t at all function as any kind of credible excuse: “The contribution was made in connection with an event that MLB lobbyists were asked to attend.” Yes, that is h...
The Rockets Are Short On Ideas
The Rockets lost on the road to the crummy Wizards Monday night, in overtime, by the score of 135–131. James Harden was tremendous, in his particular James Harden-ian way, but the team around him mostly sucks, and the Rockets once again have absolutely no reliable form of attack beyond clearing out ...
Title-Winning High School Football Coach Freaks Out On Players After Ice Bath
Randy Dreiling, head football coach at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, Kansas, guided the Saints to the first state championship in program history on Saturday. After the 49-28 victory, the Saints, in return, guided their coach into (apparently) his first-ever ice bath in coaching h...
In Shocking Betrayal, Penn Basketball Ditches Cheesesteaks For Fish Burritos
The Penn men’s basketball team is 5-2 so far this year; freshman Michael Wang has been particularly impressive. Their losses are to Kansas State and Oregon State. The only blip this season so far is losing Ryan Betley for the season five minutes into the opening game. (Penn rallied to win at George ...
Blake Bortles's Butt Bumped To Bench
The Jaguars were doing okay against the Bills Sunday, but then the guy who had scored two TDs for them was ejected for fighting, they pissed away a first-and-goal situation, and Buffalo won, 24-21. This extended the team’s losing streak to seven. The usually loquacious Jalen Ramsey couldn’t even say...

Report: Jimbo Fisher's Nephew Was The Texas A&M Staffer Who Foolishly Tried To Fight Kevin Faulk [Update]
No. 22 Texas A&M’s 74-72, seven-overtime victory over No. 7 LSU was a spectacle, but the dessert to that meal was the postgame fight between an Aggies staffer and Kevin Faulk, LSU’s director of player development and a former NFL running back. A few more details have emerged since Saturday, most not...

The Colts and Dolphins Turned It Over On Three Straight Plays

The Browns Sure Do Not Appear To Miss Hue Jackson Very Much
The Browns beat the shit out of the Bengals Sunday afternoon. It was Cleveland’s first road win since Week 5 of the 2015 season, and the first time a Browns quarterback won consecutive starts since 2014. And how lovely that former Browns head coach Hue Jackson could be in attendance to watch this pr...
Spectacular Touchdown Grab Rescued From Nonexistence By NFL's Updated Catch Rule
An extremely cool touchdown catch survived the crucible of rulebook scrutinization and was hauled back from the brink of nonexistence in this afternoon’s surprising Browns beatdown of the Bengals. Baker Mayfield, who is torching the Bengals defense, lobbed a fade to Nick Chubb, operating against sin...
Patrik Laine Pooped On The Blues
The Winnipeg Jets put an 8–4 beatdown on the St. Louis Blues Saturday night. I am told ... yes, my sources are confirming that the Blues are, in fact, crud, but that should not in any way detract from the performance of exemplary hockey man Patrik Laine, who spent the evening shredding the hell out ...
Karl-Anthony Towns's Leadership Role Is Starting To Emerge
Karl-Anthony Towns has shown signs of improvement both in his demeanor and on-court play since Jimmy Butler was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. But while his numbers have been steadily on the rise, he hasn’t exactly been put into the position yet where the Timberwolves needed him to seize control ...
Dabo Swinney Ruins Fat Guy Touchdown Moment
It took two tries for Christian Wilkins to get his fat guy touchdown against South Carolina on Saturday. The first attempt came on a third-and-goal from the two and was snuffed out by the Gamecocks defense. Dabo Swinney decided that the one-yard line was as good a place as any to go for it on fourth...
Kevin Faulk Trades Punches With A&M Goober In On-Field Scrape Following Aggies Overtime Win
Former NFL scatback and current LSU director of player development Kevin Faulk traded punches on the field with a celebrating Texas A&M supporter following the Aggies’ ridiculous seven-overtime victory Saturday night....
