The Finals Are Butt And I'm So Mad At The Cavs
First things first: They get no credit for making the Finals. LeBron James could win three playoff series in the East with any four Supreme Court justices as his running mates. Account for that, and what have these bozos contributed to the effort?...
Kevin Love In Concussion Protocol After Taking Elbow To The Head
This hasn’t exactly been the redemptive trip to the Finals Kevin Love was probably hoping for. After scoring 17 points and grabbing 13 rebounds in the Game 1 loss, Love had the worst night possible in Game 2. He scored five points and corralled three rebounds in 21 minutes, and had to remove himself...
Snapchat Vikings Fan Has One Thing Go Right In His Life
If you use Snapchat—probably not, because you read Deadspin and are statistically most likely to be an irritable dad with a law degree—you were probably captivated by the romance of the week. Two University of Wisconsin students, “Mystery Girl” and “Vikings Fan,” noticed each other on the school’s S...
The Cavs' Best Offense Runs Through Kevin Love
In Kevin Love, the Cavaliers have an incomplete player who is very good at the things he does well, and a liability in the things he doesn’t. Trailing in the fourth quarter, and so perhaps out of desperation, Tyronn Lue and the Cavs switched to a risky gameplan that paid off with a win, and a somewh...
Bryce Harper Is Hungry For Gloves, Bases
Mmmm. Mmmmm. Love the taste of my glove. MMMM....
Now Davis Love III Has Hit A Hole-In-One
Holes-in-one for everyone! Moments after Shane Lowry’s eight-iron tee shot found the hole, veteran Davis Love III repeated the trick using a seven-iron. Who needs guys named Spieth or McIlroy?...
Troy Tulowitzki Is Going To Ridiculous Lengths To Keep Using His Ancient Glove
Troy Tulowitzki is apparently not the type of person who easily lets go of the past. Tulo has used the same glove for at least five years (or as many as eight, depending who you believe), and even as it was clearly deteriorating back into dust in last year’s ALCS, the Blue Jays shortstop stuck with ...
Soccer Player Quits Team After Learning Teammate Was Sleeping With His Wife
The man pictured above is Christian Keller, very recently the captain of Danish first-division club Randers. He and his fellow Horses had to bid adieu to one of their teammates today, after Jonas Borring announced that certain personal events had led him to decide to leave the club. What instigated ...
Gigi Buffon Pens Moving Poem To His One True Love, The Goal
There’s something about time and the slow accretion of age that turns men wistful. Even the most stoic man will shed his hardened emotional exterior, and just might see himself so moved by, say, reaching an especially poignant milestone or achievement in life that he feels the urge to memorialize hi...
Diego Costa Sent Off After Getting Intimate With Gareth Barry (And Maybe Biting Him)
Everton downed Chelsea 2-0 in FA Cup action today, though the real excitement came in the final minutes as Diego Costa earned a red card for intruding on Gareth Barry’s personal space; Barry himself would be sent off minutes later, but let’s not miss the glory of Costa either kissing Barry, trying t...
Love Is Real: Donald Sterling And His Wife Are Calling Off Their Divorce
In August, lawsuit-loving former Clippers owner Donald Sterling filed for divorce from his wife Shelly, who he called a “pig” during court proceedings when they were fighting over who would retain control of the Clippers (as it turns out, the eventual answer to that one was neither, thank God)....
NHL Teams Are Figuring Out 3-On-3 Overtime And Scoring Less
The first year of 3-on-3 overtime has been a boon to the NHL, both in terms of excitement and in avoiding shootouts. But the heady early days of end-to-end action and goals aplenty have gradually given way to something slightly more sedate. Which doesn’t mean it’s still not better than the old way....
Hmmmmmm. LeBron James And Kyrie Irving Sent Some Cryptic Tweets. Hmmmmmmm.
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics 120-103 on Saturday, and one would assume that such a victory would have put everyone in the locker room in a good mood. Maybe it did, but it also put LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in the mood to do some subtweeting....
The Only Valentine's Day Message I Need
This Sunday morning, as I do on every Valentine’s Day, I will wake up to a message from my mother. Last year, it was a long email sent at an ungodly early hour, carrying all of her usual, heartfelt, holiday-appropriate sentiments: “Today is not only about boyfriends/girlfriends or husbands/wives but...
Kevin Love Finally Got In The Picture, And The Cavs Are Clicking
With last night’s victory against the Indiana Pacers, the Cleveland Cavaliers are 5-1 since David Blatt was fired and Tyronn Lue was named head coach. After the game, Kevin Love punctuated his team’s string of successes with this Instagram post:...
Second Student Arrested, Charged With Helping Virginia Tech Athlete Dispose Of Dead 13-Year-Old's Body
Blacksburg, Va. police arrested a second Virginia Tech student today, claiming 19-year-old Natalie Keepers helped David Eisenhauer dispose of Nicole Lovell’s body after the Hokies track athlete allegedly murdered the middle-schooler this week....
All That's Left Is For The Warriors And Spurs To Rumble
The Cleveland Cavaliers screwed the goddamn pooch. They dropped the ball. They shit the bed. They crashed and burned. They were on the ass-end of a trainwreck. They blew it....
LeBron James And Kevin Love Have Resolved Their Beef
Remember those subtweets, stilted interviews, and posed Instagram pictures that had a lot of people wondering if there was a rift between LeBron James and Kevin Love last year? Well, according to the Akron Beacon Journal, there was indeed some fire behind all that smoke....
You Should See the 3D Sex Drama <i>Love</i>, Even If You Hate Gaspar Noé
There are two very understandable reasons why people hate Gaspar Noé’s films: He’s a pompous tool, and his movies are often little more than showy provocations filled with vapid ciphers. If anything, Love finds the 51-year-old director doubling down on his self-appointed enfant terrible persona, and...
Coming Soon To Seattle-Area High School Football: Satanic Invocations (UPDATE)
The legal position on prayer in public school in America is, generally, settled. Across decades of cases, the Supreme Court has held that religion may not be included in school-sponsored activities, but that students may independently gather for religious purposes. But a high school football coach i...
