Sports Baby Goes Down
Jonny Gomes is a good daddy, and he celebrated tonight’s victory over the Astros by swinging one of his daughters around the pitcher’s mound. It looks like fun! Unfortunately, he didn’t see Jason Vargas’s kid running towards them and, uh, you’ll totally believe what happens next: ...
Getting A Little Ahead Of Yourself There, Governor
The Houston Astros, who just lost Game 4 of the ALDS 9-6, were up by five runs on the Royals in the seventh inning. That’s when Texas Governor Greg Abbott decided to send a very bad tweet....
Replay Is Turning Baseball Into Football And I Hate It
The play above was a crucial moment in today’s ALDS game between the Royals and Astros. Down 3-2 with two outs in the top of the seventh, Royals pinch runner Terrance Gore attempted to steal third base. Despite beating the throw and the tag easily, Gore was called out—not because the umpire blew the...
Chiefs Fans Scrap It Out In Stadium Bathroom
Was someone trying to cut? Did one of them dribble on the other guy’s shoes? Did they wash their hands after? Why is one of the numerous Break It Up Guys wearing flip flops? So many questions, so few answers....
Jamaal Charles Goes Down With Scary Knee Injury (UPDATES)
Jamaal Charles went down without contact after he tried to cut into a hole, which he fell before he could get to, in the third quarter of today’s game against the Bears. Charles limped off the field with help. The Chiefs led Chicago 17-3 when Charles went down, but they gave up 15 straight to lose 1...

Royals Broadcaster Perfectly Predicts Mike Moustakas's Home Run
With Mike Moustakas facing an 0-2 count in Wednesday night’s game, Fox Sports Kansas City announcer Ryan Lefebvre claimed that the Royals third baseman would not only get a curveball from White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana, but crush it for a home run into Kansas City’s bullpen. “He’s gonna sit on a ha...
The Chiefs Finally Put An End To Football's Silliest Streak
I can appreciate a good sports streak as much as anyone, but the dumb ones are always more fun than the actually impressive ones. Which is why last night’s Chiefs-Packers game was, despite Aaron Rodgers’s continued brilliance, kind of a bummer. The Chiefs, for the first time in 18 regular-season gam...
The Royals Got Yordano Ventura With The Old Hoodie Gum Trick
Who did this? This is very rude. ...
Von Miller Isn't Impressed By "Fake Gronk" Travis Kelce
The Kansas City Chiefs are seemingly allergic to throwing to their wide receivers—a true WR still hasn’t caught a touchdown pass since 2013—but Travis Kelce is one of Alex Smith’s favorite targets. The tight end’s size and ability to break tackles is quite similar to Rob Gronkowski, the Gronk Lite t...
Nobody Was Harder On Jamaal Charles Than Jamaal Charles, But Jim Nantz Tried

Travis Kelce Knows How To Celebrate A Touchdown
The Chiefs are out here taking it to the Texans. Brian Hoyer tossed an interception to rookie Marcus Peters on his first throw as a Texan, and Alex Smith already has already thrown two touchdowns to Travis Kelce. ...
The Royals Have Chickenpox
Two Royals players have been infected with chickenpox and have been quarantined, and the team is monitoring other potentially at-risk players. It’s sort of funny—it’s the last thing you’d expect a ballplayer to miss extended time for—but it can seriously affect adults, and with the playoffs a month ...
Jeremy Guthrie Is Trying To Put Ballboys Out Of Work
Royals pitcher Jeremy Guthrie was relaxing in the bullpen over the weekend series with the Rays, so he started a competition with one of the Tampa Bay ballboys to see who could wrangle more foul balls. The ballboy won two out of three, but Guthrie hustled in Sunday’s game....

Why Your Team Sucks 2015: Kansas City Chiefs
Some people are fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. This 2015 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here....
