Triple H's Nutritionist Makes, Walks Back Candid Steroid Comments
That bodybuilder Dave Palumbo was a nutritionist for Paul “Triple H” Levesque—the wrestler-turned-WWE exec who only performs occasionally now—has never been a secret. They talk about their work together all the time, whether it’s Palumbo interviewing Triple H and his wife Stephanie McMahon, the two ...

Boxer Tries To Smooch Her Opponent During Faceoff
Boxers Mikaela Lauren and Cecilia Braekhus were performing the obligatory staredown at a press event Monday when Lauren went in for a kiss. It’s surprising that more boxing faceoffs don’t end like this. They get so close to each other!...

Joel Embiid On His Minutes Restriction: "Fucking Bullshit"
Joel Embiid—who was great enough last season that he maybe should have been the Rookie of the Year despite averaging just 25.4 minutes in 31 games—will start the season on a minutes restriction. It makes sense, since he missed his first two entire NBA seasons with injuries and sat out 51 games last ...

Mike McCarthy Snaps At Reporter For Asking About Colin Kaepernick
The Packers’ quarterback situation is suddenly very dire. Aaron Rodgers is likely out for the season with a broken collarbone, and the team now has to start Brett Hundley, a former fifth-round pick with 44 career NFL pass attempts. Perhaps even more worrying is the fact that behind Hundley is Joe Ca...

De'Aaron Fox Says In-N-Out Is "Just Not Good"
Kings rookie PG De’Aaron Fox was born in Louisiana, went to high school in Texas, college at Kentucky, and is settling in to his new life in Sacramento. And, as with anyone who goes to California for the first time, he’s been bombarded by locals’ boasts about a certain fast-food chain. He’s supremel...

Columbus Crew, Welcome To The Stadium Extortion Racket
MLS is not and for the foreseeable future will not be one of this country’s so-called Big Four, but let no one say the scrappy upstart doesn’t extort American cities like a big-boy league. The league’s rapid expansion—someone without a stake in the matter would say too rapid—has cities from Cincinna...

Skimboarder Gets Super Rad
A disclosure: The last time I went skimboarding, I ended up face down in the Sacramento River with a mouthful of mud and so am not what anyone would call an “expert.” However, even a blockhead like me could tell you that this expert bro catches the hell out of this wave....

Louisville Officially Fires Rick Pitino, Who Is Fighting Back
Making official what it set forth to do three weeks ago, the Louisville Athletic Association’s board voted unanimously on Monday to fire men’s basketball head coach Rick Pitino. Again, just to avoid any confusion, Pitino is not being fired for the other recruiting scandal, in which Louisville hired ...

Barstool Sports Founder Asks If Harvey Weinstein Should Be Allowed To Exchange Sex For Work
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, a guy who once took great pleasure in calling women “cunts,” posed a question to one of his female subordinates live on the radio. The question was: Actually, should Harvey Weinstein be allowed to demand sex from actresses in exchange for roles in movies? Get re...

There's Reason To Hope For The Future Of The USMNT
While the senior members of the United States Men’s National Team are holding their heads in intense shame after getting owned in horrifying public fashion and failing to qualify for the World Cup, the U.S. under-17 national team is killing it. The U-17 group is stocked with some of the hottest pros...

The Aaron Rodgers Hit Was Legal, And That's The Problem
To the extent that there has been any joy to be found in the NFL this year, it was Aaron Rodgers that delivered it. In a season otherwise dominated by bad quarterbacks, bad games, lazy blowouts, and the noisy co-opting of demonstrations originally meant to protest racial injustice, Rodgers was both ...

Apparently DeShone Kizer Just Needed One Week Off
When Browns head coach Hue Jackson announced that he was benching rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer last week, it seemed like he had a decent plan in mind. The Browns, already 0-5 at that point, had three more games against the Texans, Titans, and Vikings before their bye week. Here was a chance for ...

The Deadspin Milk Idiots Try To Identify Some Milks
Deadspin did a blind milk taste test. There were multiple fat percentages, and one non-cow wild card. Each of the six participants sipped the four milks and recorded their answers. You should watch the video, but here are the results: ...

Adrian Peterson’s First Game On The Cardinals Was His Best Of The Season
Adrian Peterson looked bad with the Saints. Awful, even. He was averaging just three yards a carry, his longest run was 11 yards, and it came on first and 20. He had carried the ball just 27 times. ...
