Root For The Royals In The Playoffs
It’s no longer the baseball preseason. Time to get your ass fired up for the regular fall season of America’s Pastime. Read all our playoff team previews here. Today, you’re getting to know … THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS....
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. ...
Kliff Kingsbury Clowns Bret Bielema After Texas Tech Beats Arkansas
It has not been a good year for Arkansas football and Bret Bielema. The Razorbacks came into the season ranked #18, but have since wilted. Bielema made fun of Ohio State for having an easy schedule, then his team went and lost to Toledo, the type of opponent he had just dismissed....

Arkansas Wide Receiver Suffers Horrific Injury, Somehow Walks It Off [GRAPHIC]
We’re loath to attribute “toughness” as an unquestioned positive attribute in football players, given it was attached for decades to guys who suffered brain injuries and stayed in games. But is there any other way to describe Jared Cornelius? The Arkansas wide receiver suffered what appears to be a ...
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
It takes a lot for a loss to stand out as particularly brutal for a team with a knack for brutal losses. I’d say this—with everything set up for the Chiefs to buck their losing trends against the Broncos and against Peyton Manning, until it was all fumbled away—does nicely....

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. ...
Kansas State Band Insists They Were Not In Dong Formation
Kansas State officials continue to apologize for anyone they might have offended by Saturday’s Jayhawk-vs-dong marching band formation, while insisting there was “no ill intention.” The Star Trek-themed program purported to show the U.S.S. Enterprise attacking a “horrible space creature,” but to nea...
Kansas State Band Formation Is NSFW [UPDATE]
This is, supposedly, the Kansas State band as the U.S.S. Enterprise “encountering a horrible space creature.” It looks a lot more like the Kansas Jayhawk performing fellatio....
Defense Lines Up With 10 Players To Honor Late Teammate, Recovers Fumble, Scores Touchdown
Arkansas Tech’s defense had only 10 players on the field on its first play against Southern Nazarene in honor of Zemaric Holt, a 21-year-old defensive lineman who drowned in July. Despite the intentional disadvantage, the Wonder Boys—great name, by the way—scored a touchdown....
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....
