Feisty Bert Blyleven Trashes Detroit
While today’s Twins-Tigers game was in a rain delay, former Twins pitcher and current analyst Bert Blyleven updated his Twitter followers with photos of the field, and took some cracks at Detroit’s expense in the process....
Adam Eaton's Diving Catch Will Be Hard To Top
We’re not even a week into the 2015 baseball season, but I feel confident saying that it’s going to be very hard for any outfielder to make a catch this season that will top what White Sox center fielder Adam Eaton did today. ...
Don't Believe The Hype: Mayweather-Pacquiao Is Not Good Vs. Evil
The many failings of Floyd Mayweather to follow the basic rules on how to be a good human being are well documented. He’s a serial woman beater who once evicted his father and pleaded no contest to threatening his children. His odiousness speaks for itself. But his competitor, Manny Pacquiao, is bus...
The Police Are America's Terrorists
Last Saturday, Walter Scott was driving his Mercedes in North Charleston, S.C., when he was pulled over by police officer Michael Slager for driving with a broken taillight. Scott had a complicated life, as many of us do. He was employed and engaged; he owed back child support; in all likelihood...
<i>Golf Digest</i> Is Running Creepy Photos Of Women Watching Golf Now
It’s not news that the slideshow is a poor (but lucrative) method of framing a story on the internet, but the topic of this Golf Digest effort—“The Hottest Patrons at Augusta”—is just awful. For a magazine that recently banked on side boob on the cover, this is still quite lazy. ...
How Dinesh D'Souza Damaged My Faith
So conservative superstar Dinesh D'Souza recently went on Hannity and insisted that opposition to Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act "is a selective attack on Christianity," which might surprise those of you who thought it was simply about denying gay people the right to have Gay Pizza ...

This Is What Pioneers Wear
The runner in the photo above with very little skin showing is Fatma El Sharnouby, representing Egypt at the World Cross Country Meet, held March 28, 2015, in Guiyang, China.

Summer Movies 2015: The Grierson & Leitch Preview
When Furious 7 came out last week, it was heralded by many as the kickoff to the 2015 Summer Movie Season, which was strange, considering it's still April. (And just barely April.) By that rationale, it’s also the start of Oscar Season, or the 2017 Fall Movie Season, or the 2019 Dawn of Human Aw...
Drew Magary Won <i>Chopped</i> Last Night And It’s A Goddamn National Disgrace
So imagine my surprise when I logged onto Deadspin last night and found that serial child abuser Drew Magary was participating on Chopped. That due to some combination of threatening the producers with a kitchen knife and Shibbolethian fecal rituals, he had managed to convince them that he knew how...
OKC Players Confused About What "Controlling Our Own Destiny" Means
Last night, the Thunder suffered a blow in their struggle with the Pelicans for the final playoff spot in the West.

Bo Ryan Is The Poor Sport He's Supposed To Be
So Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said some sorta poor-sport-y stuff after his Badgers lost the NCAA championship game to Duke last night. In the video below, he can’t get through the pro forma talk of how much his graduating players meant to him without tossing in a passive-aggressive aside about how “we...
The Rockies Are Going To Sock Some Goddamn Dingers This Year
Hey! The Colorado Rockies might be really fun this year. Take it from me, a Rockies fan who is super reasonable and not at all still riding the high of yesterday’s 10-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers....
Argentine Soccer Player Punched In Face By Fan While Signing Autographs
In case you needed more evidence that soccer fans in Argentina are the worst, we now have the case of Matías Fritzler. After a recent loss, Fritzler was signing autographs for his home fans when a guy attacked him, opening a pretty large cut over his left eye....
Ray Rice's Biggest Problem Isn't That He Knocked Out His Wife, But When
The 2015 Ray Rice Redemption Tour officially launched this week with similar, similarly glowing profiles of the ex-Baltimore Raven in Men’s Fitness and New York. Once best-known for being one of the top running backs in the National Football League, he’s now principally famous for having knocked his...
Barack Obama Hit Paul Pierce With Some Top-Notch Trash Talk
The Washington Wizards recently visited the White House to play basketball with some kids and Barack Obama, and damn, man, the President of the United States can really talk some shit....
Player Goes Full Luis Suárez, Bites The Shit Out Of Opponent's Shoulder
Damn, Club Tijuana midfielder Juan Arango’s bite this weekend might be even worse than any of bite master Luis Suárez’s. On the angle you see above, you really get a good look at just how much flesh Arango’s teeth get ahold of, as well as the calmness on his face as he jogs away....
