The definitive list of college basketball blue bloods
Another college basketball season has come and gone. The women’s tournament outshined the men’s showcase in March Madness due to ratings and attendance records, not to mention the undeniable star power the sport has. The men’s NCAA Tournament wrapped Monday night with UConn completing the six-game s...
Save your Angel Reese disdain for LSU’s shoulder devil, Kim Mulkey
LSU’s resounding victory over Iowa in Sunday’s National Championship Game energized an angry national convoy of hoop casuals who have an amorphous beef with women’s college basketball. Think folks are mad about the bastardization of college sports in the age of college basketball free agency? LSU’s ...
U mad? The women's game will glory in your outrage
This NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship game had everything; insane outside shooting, a pink-sequined pantsuit, trash-talk that got personal, a record-setting final score, nanny-state officiating, an Iowan breaking the tournament all-time scoring record, and Billie Jean King....
Girls can talk trash, too
Depending on whatever echo chamber you’ve decided to inhabit on social media, the final of the Women’s college basketball tournament might sound very different than it does to someone else. I’m sure for all the genuine college basketball fans out there, and especially LSU fans, all there is is an ap...
What’s better than transcendent?
That felt like the March Madness we know and crave. Upsets are fantastic, certainly, and Iowa beating South Carolina was an upset, but only because of the Gamecocks’ perfect 36-0 record and 42-game winning streak overall. This wasn’t David beating Goliath. It was LeBron James taking Zydrunas Ilgausk...

Welcome to Deadspin’s IDIOT OF THE MONTH! Take a gander at these dunces and be reminded that a future in which artificial intelligence destroys all biological life on Earth might not be so bad after all....
The Women’s NCAA Tournament has reached a new golden era
It’s only been a few short weeks since Outkick’s David Hookstead blamed some non-existent woke-ism manifesto for the placement of women’s college basketball dominating ESPN.com’s front page. A few weeks before that, Jason Whitlock was frothing at the mouth over women’s basketball highlights leading ...
Life ain’t easy for Bayern Munich… according to Bayern Munich
Wherever he is, George Steinbrenner must’ve smiled and nodded at the news of Bayern Munich firing their manager with three-quarters of the season gone. Not only would that have reminded Big Steinn of his “glory” days (obviously the Yankees didn’t regain their spot atop the baseball world until Stein...
Boston radio producer suspended after claiming he was trying to make sexist joke about Mila Kunis’ nipples, not ethnic slur about Mina Kimes
Update (March 23): Chris Curtis opened the Greg Hill Show on Thursday to announce his own suspension. He also once again claimed he meant to say “Mila Kunis” instead of “Mina Kimes.” Curtis will be sidelined for a week, according to the Boston Globe’s Chad Finn. ...
South Carolina women’s basketball team is the best in the NCAA Tournament — regardless of gender
Whether you call it irony or coincidence, the best team playing during college basketball’s biggest moment during a month that’s dedicated to the history of women makes too much sense. Yes, we all think of the men’s game when we think of March Madness. And yes, the men’s game brings in all the money...
Presenting the ‘You Gotta Be Kidding Me’ Team from opening day of March Madness
If you’re like me — an NBA fan who pivots to college basketball for a few weeks in March — the best part of the NCAA tournament is the unknown. What I don’t know about draft stock, a coach, a player, a team, or anything, makes the discovery all the more entertaining....
It’d take the lengthiest of zone defenses to cover Jim Boeheim’s career
Jim Boeheim’s tenure reflects a coach whose career almost spanned half a century at Syracuse. From bringing his alma mater a national championship in 2003, to winning the second most games of any college basketball coach, to ushering in and out the Big East Conference (as we knew and loved it) to hi...
Mercedes Moné should have left WWE a long time ago
If you were like me, and god help you if you are, and you needed some sort of wrestling cleanse after WWE barfed up WWE things on Saturday, then Mercedes Moné came to your rescue late in the night. Mercedes made her return to the ring in NJPW’s Battle In The Valley in San Jose, wrestling Kairi (the ...
Dawn Staley showed a Philly legend love while knocking off an undefeated opponent
Dawn Staley had to work a few hours before the Super Bowl. Logically, ESPN and the SEC thought early that afternoon on Super Bowl Sunday would provide a great window to feature her defending champion South Carolina Gamecocks against Kim Mulkey’s LSU Tigers. Surely the programmers knew that the Phila...
We'll be inundated with gambling <i>and</i> beer ads during Super Bowl LVII
While the Super Bowl matchup this time is one of the more fascinating in recent history — two Black starting QBs (Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes), the Kansas City Chiefs attempting to cement their modern dynasty, what Philadelphia Eagles fans will eat and climb on this time — we know that the ads ...

Damar Hamlin's first public speaking appearance since cardiac arrest is at <i>Masked Singer</i> taping
Less than a month since he went into cardiac arrest on Monday Night Football, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin made his first public speaking appearance since the incident on Tuesday night as a surprise guest at a taping of FOX’s upcoming season of The Masked Singer. Per TMZ Sports, Hamlin attended...
So do Chelsea have a plan?
You have to hand it to Chelsea FC’s new-ish owner Todd Boehly. If you’re replacing Roman Abramovich as owner, and ushering in a new era after the club’s trophy-laden one that the Russian Oligarch oversaw, you can win over the fans by going on a spending binge that would even make Abramovich raise on...
I get picking a young star, but Jazz Chisholm only played in 60 games last year
Earning the distinction of cover athlete for your sport’s premier video game franchise is a unique honor. You didn’t necessarily win any awards, championships, or playoff games, but you played well enough for people to consider you the most marketable face they could put on the cover of their produc...
