Now Markelle Fultz Can Begin
He wasn’t a revelation. For that matter in many ways he was pretty clunky. A handful of times last night, in his first game action since October—since some mysterious combination of shoulder injury and Steve Blass disease took away his ability to perform basketball’s most fundamental act—Markelle Fu...
Goalkeeper Tries To Pretend He Didn't Do The Incredibly Dumb Thing He Just Did
To throw a ball into one’s own net is the single worst thing a goalkeeper can do.

"I Like The Whimpering": Deadspin Editors Mock Innocent Child Cheering For Duke
On Sunday, Duke lost to No. 1 seed Kansas. Depending on your loyalties—more precisely, depending on if you’re one of the North Carolinians that overpaid for your undergraduate education or one of the Northeastern private schoolers that couldn’t make the cut at Yale—you took this one of two ways....
Let's Remember Some Guys: 1990 Baseball Guys
The act of Remembering Some Guys, as depicted in the Let’s Remember Some Guys video series and as it is lived around the world, is an inherently social experience. It is of course possible to Remember Guys on your own; if you see me on the subway wearing a faraway look and a faint grin, there is a d...

Junior Hockey Team Stunts On Blowout Victims With Sick Goals
The OHL’s Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds took a 2-0 series lead on Saginaw yesterday, earning a win in both a stylish and maybe kind of over-the-top fashion. With a 6-0 lead in the third period, the Greyhounds were ... let’s say, unrestrained as they played out the final minutes....

All Bars Should Do Two Things
Bars—except those that only take cash, and more power to those—would all be improved by doing two things that are already common in some parts of the country.

Steph Curry Will Miss At Least The Start Of The Playoffs
Steph Curry’s knee injury could have been much, much worse, which is just about the only good thing you can say for the Warriors. It was diagnosed as a Grade 2 MCL sprain, and we won’t see Curry again in the regular season and for at least part of the playoffs. “There’s no way” he returns earlier th...
