The Shovel Pass To Travis Kelce Is A Cheat Code
Two weeks into the season, the Kansas City Chiefs have the most entertaining offense in the league. They shoved 42 points right into the Patriots’ faces by using a read-option scheme, letting Alex Smith sling it, and deploying rookie running back Kareem Hunt like prime-era LaDainian Tomlinson. Yeste...
Kareem Hunt Is Still Fast
Rookie sensation and Patriot-defeater Kareem Hunt didn’t have a blisteringly fast start to his second career game today, but luckily, he’s got some pretty good acceleration. In the third quarter against the Eagles, Hunt sliced through the Philly defense and made himself impossible to catch, giving K...
Cleveland Walks Off For 22nd Straight Win, Will Never Lose Again
Like they have in every game for more than three weeks now, Cleveland won tonight. With an extra-innings walk-off victory, they became the first team to win 22 consecutive games in more than a century. ...
Alex Smith Smoked The Patriots By Going Back To College
Alex Smith torched the Patriots Thursday night, and his final stat line was very un-Alex Smith-like: 28-for-35, 368 passing yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions, a 148.6 passer rating. Head coach Andy Reid’s and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy’s creative play design and blend of West Coast and s...
Hello, Kareem Hunt
The Patriots got shoved into a trash compactor last night, and watching it felt wonderful. Alex Smith’s passable and shocking Aaron Rodgers impression may have been the most impressive part of the Chiefs’ performance, but the part that was the most fun to watch was rookie running back Kareem Hunt ma...
Patriots Eat Shit In Front Of God And Everyone
At the end of the third quarter tonight, the Patriots led the Chiefs by a score of 27-21. They proceeded to roll over and die. They gave up 21 points in the fourth, letting Kansas City run away with a 42-27 victory for the worst beating New England’s endured in recent memory....

Alex Gordon Turns Mikie Mahtook's Redemption Dinger Into A Spectacular Out
Poor Mikie Mahtook. Yesterday he swatted a loose ball over the outfield wall, creating one of the oddest, most hilarious dingers you will ever see. Today his own dinger, inches away from glory, was ripped back into the field of play by Royals outfielder Alex Gordon:...
Why Your Team Sucks 2017: Kansas City Chiefs<em></em>
Some people are fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. This 2017 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here....
Royals GM Discusses The Dangers Of Porn During Danny Duffy Presser
Royals GM Dayton Moore held a press conference this afternoon to discuss how the organization is handling pitcher Danny Duffy’s DUI arrest Sunday, and at one point jumped from talking about DUIs to discussing a link between watching porn and domestic abuse....
Royals Pitcher Danny Duffy Arrested For DUI At Burger King

The Royals Just Can't Score
Last Thursday, the Royals sat just a half-game out of the American League’s crowded wild card race. They have played four games since, and they have not scored a run in any of them....
Many People Are Saying Lorenzo Cain's Elegant 302-Foot Dinger Is The Greatest
One thing Lorenzo Cain understands that big mashing goons like Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper still haven’t mastered with all their grotesque and gratuitous moonshots is the precision and understated majesty of the, umm, short ball:...
The Royals Are Suddenly Unstoppable
Eric Hosmer was an invincible monster on Wednesday night. In a 16-2 drubbing of the failing Detroit Tigers, Hosmer provided five runs, five hits, and six RBI, most of which came from a demoralizing seventh-inning grand slam that stretched the lead out to 13-1. He even stole a base for only the fifth...
Tamba Hali Is "TWEETING HIS THOUGHTS"
Tamba Hali is 10th among all active players and second among Kansas City Chiefs all-time in career sacks, but at 33 years old his role on the team is changing—Hali started just two games in 2016, by far the fewest of his career, and produced just three and a half sacks, his fewest since he was a 25-...
The Rangers Lost A Game Because Of The Punk-Ass Sun
With the scored tied at three in the bottom of the ninth, Rangers reliever Jason Grilli was in a bases-loaded, two-out jam. If he could get Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain out, the Rangers would escape to extra innings and keep their hopes at winning the game alive. Grilli got Cain to hit a catchable...
The Kansas City Chiefs' Offseason Has Been Absolutely Baffling
In a surprise move, the Chiefs fired general manager John Dorsey yesterday. The decision is odd enough on its own, considering Kansas City had made the playoffs in three of Dorsey’s four seasons, to say nothing of the late-June timing of it all. But that’s not even the weirdest part. Dorsey’s firing...
