Wes Welker Is Back And It Feels Terrible
By all accounts—his own, his teams’, and a top NFL-affiliated concussion specialist’s—Wes Welker is healthy and ready to play. St. Louis badly needs a receiver. Still, when the Rams announced they signed Welker to bolster their etiolated passing attack, my first reaction was disappointment. It’s a s...
Rams Owner Stan Kroenke Is A Bathroom Hog
With the Vikings playing in the University of Minnesota’s stadium until their own new building is complete, visiting dignitaries don’t have the level of luxury they may be used to. Wherever Rams owner Stan Kroenke watched the game from, it didn’t have adequate private restrooms. So he commandeered t...
Vikings Angry At "Cheap" Rams After Late Hits On Teddy Bridgewater
Vikings players and coaches had strong words for the Rams—and especially defensive coordinator Gregg Williams—after Minnesota’s 21-18 overtime win, completed without QB Teddy Bridgewater, who left early in the fourth after being knocked unconscious by a shoulder to the head from CB Lamarcus Joyner....
The Blues And Blackhawks Scored 10 Damn Goals In Two Periods

Reggie Bush Is The Latest Victim Of The Rams' Concrete Ring Of Death
The 49ers believe Reggie Bush’s injury, suffered yesterday against the Rams, is a torn ACL, a season-ender. It’s a particularly frustrating one for Bush, who’s had trouble staying healthy throughout his career, because it had basically nothing to do with football. Bush was just the latest victim of ...
The Chargers Will File For Relocation To Los Angeles In January
It’s increasingly apparent that the NFL will have at least one NFL team (and probably three) playing in Los Angeles soon. The only uncertainty is which teams and when. Yesterday, the San Diego Chargers made a public declaration that they will apply for relocation. ...

Former Louisville Players Describe School Using Strippers, Prostitutes In Recruiting
The Louisville basketball program was thrown into the spotlight earlier this month, following the publication of a book written by self-described madame Katina Powell, who claims to have supplied escorts to former members of the Louisville basketball team. ESPN’s Outside the Lines has since gotten i...
May The Cubs Never Stop Mashing These Dingers
This is a screenshot of a Cubs fan losing his mind right after Kyle Schwarber hit a ball so goddamn hard that it exited our atmosphere and now lies sprinkled amongst the stars like cosmic dust. Schwarber’s climactic tater was the Cubs’ third of the game, which when combined with the six-homer assaul...
EAT SHIT, LEITCH!
This is Will Leitch, the founder of Deadspin and world’s most annoying Cardinals fan. We love Leitch, but we also like trolling him at every possible opportunity by telling him that he is human garbage and his favorite team is a band of wingnut Puritan shitbags who hack into laptops and pepper spray...
The Cubs Socked Six Dingers Last Night! Man! <i>Six!</i>
Hot dang! Six! That’s how many taters the Chicago Cubs mashed off the St. Louis Cardinals’ butt pitchers yesterday evening. That’s a postseason record, and it has the Cubs one win from the NLCS....
Proposed Rams Stadium Would Cost Taxpayers A Hell Of A Lot More Than Promised
It’s a truly bizarre situation in St. Louis, with Rams owner Stan Kroenke desperate to leave for Los Angeles, and (some) local politicians desperate to build him a stadium to get him to stay. Problem is, according to documents FOIA’d by St. Louis Magazine, taxpayers would be on the hook for a lot mo...

Pat Forde at Yahoo Sports has gotten his hands on a copy of a book written by self-described madame Katina Powell and journalist Dick Cady.

Jon Jay (Accidentally?) Fakes A Ground Rule Double, Prevents Run

Rams Game Delayed After Pyrotechnics Set Field On Fire
The Rams-Steelers game today in St. Louis was delayed today after pregame pyrotechnics set the artificial turf on fire. The fire extinguisher left skin irritants all over the field and the start was pushed back to vaccuum it all up. Good way to slow down Le’Veon Bell!...
The NFL Wants Players To Help Pay For New Los Angeles Stadium
The NFL is coming to Los Angeles soon, no matter what Oaklanders, St. Louisans, San Diegans, or local labor groups have to say about it. The sheer amount of money behind the proposed moves of one or all of the Rams, Chargers, or Raiders, coupled with the NFL’s desire to break into the country’s #2 m...
