DeMarcus Cousins And Chris Paul Are Still Going With The NBA's Most Vertically Offset Beef

It's 2016 And You Can Still Watch Steve Yzerman Score On Patrick Roy
Ciccarelli. Ysebaert. Lidstrom. Primeau. Cheveldae. Growing up in northwest Ohio and well within the night-time range of Detroit’s WJR-AM, these Detroit Red Wings players were my earliest hockey heroes. The opportunity to see some of them skate again no doubt drives the NHL’s Alumni series, which th...

Why FIFA's Unambitious New President Might Be Good News For Reform
To my mind, the most telling thing to come from this entire, interminable Extraordinary FIFA Congress wasn’t the election itself—in which Gianni Infantino, previously the general secretary of UEFA, became the new president of soccer’s powerful and scandal-ravaged governing body—nor was it the indivi...

Fast-Food Smackdown: Burger King's Jalapeño Chicken Fries Vs. Taco Bell's Quesalupa
Life, being pain, will sometimes trap even the most careful fast-foodie in the burgerless hellscape of a bullshit “real” restaurant that offers six total options: beef, chicken, this kind of fish, that kind of fish, some mushroom-pasta thing, and a wild card that is probably duck or beans.

Rockets CEO Denies That His Team Is A Big Fucking Mess
Despite getting a nice win over the Blazers and a superstar performance out of James Harden last night, the 29-29 Houston Rockets are still in a bad place. They failed to trade Dwight Howard, the one deadline deal they did pull off fell apart because of a failed physical, and now it’s been reported ...

Duke's Most Hateable Player Trips Another Opponent

The Warriors Are The Best Team Ever, And They Can Eat Shit
Earlier today in Deadspin’s staff chat room, our editor Tim Marchman and I floated the idea of a “Fuck The Warriors” post, which would fully acknowledge everything great and fun and astonishing about these Golden State Warriors but also air out the completely irrational hatred he and I both feel tow...
