Here's A Nice Dad Thing
Denmark keeper Kasper Schmeichel may have ultimately been outdone by his Croatian counterpart, Danijel Subašić, during yesterday’s penalty shootout, but he still earned national hero status by saving Luka Modrić’s penalty late in extra time.

Goddamn, John Tortorella Is <i>Pissed</i>
I want to begin by noting that it’s pretty funny that this latest, greatest round of beef between the Blue Jackets and Penguins is all over Jack Johnson, of all players, a bottom-pairing defenseman on the wrong side of 30 and coming off his worst season as a pro. That said: Give me the beef!...

Noggin Bonked By Errant First Pitch
An unfortunate fellow was bonked in the head by an errant first pitch before Sunday’s Braves-Cardinals game.

Saturday night the Mariners celebrated the 20th anniversary of “Turn Ahead The Clock” night in a home game against the Kansas City Royals.

Russia Topple Spain In Penalties, Puke Puke Puke
Fraud-ass Spain lost in penalties to rigged-ass Russia Sunday in a match that was an exercise in pure teeth-grinding frustration.

Kylian Mbappé Annihilates Argentina And Sends France To The World Cup Quarterfinals
For a solid hour, today’s France-Argentina match didn’t make a lick of sense. Then Kylian Mbappé up and decided to impose his own order on the proceedings, and that was that. France won by a deceptive scoreline of 4-3 that doesn’t at all communicate the level of French dominance on display....
Benjamin Pavard's Incredible French Wondergoal, In Extreme Slow Motion
Yeah, yeah, we GIF’d this earlier but something this spectacular deserves the full Deadspin Video treatment. Perhaps the goal of this year’s World Cup, Frenchman Benjamin Pavard—who cashes checks from, uh, Stuttgart—hammered home this half-volley with, shall we say, elan. ...

Attorney: Ronald Darby's Text Messages Showed He Wasn't With Jameis Winston, Despite Claiming He Was
