Deadspin's Favorite Sports Moments Of 2016
The Deadspin staff pick their favorite sports moments from 2016, and explain what made them so special. Here they are....
The End Of Bernard Hopkins
Bernard Hopkins, a man I both like and admire, generally, if selectively, tells the truth. But he has some cinematic set pieces, one of which involves a story of being taken aside at the time of his release from Graterford Prison and told by the warden, “I’ll see you back here in six months.”...
I Hope The Beef Between Meyers Leonard And DeMarcus Cousins Lasts Forever
DeMarcus Cousins dropped 55 points on Tuesday, but not before dropping a platter of hot beef on Meyers Leonard’s lap. In the decisive seconds of the fourth quarter, he spun his way into a pretty and-1, walked over to the Blazers bench and let some choice words and a mouthguard fall out of his mouth:...
This Strange Column About Bud Selig And Drugs Is Extremely Confusing
Estimable baseball writer Tim Brown has a column up today that’s either about how Bud Selig’s election to the Hall of Fame shows up the condemnation of players such as Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens by the likes of the veteran baseball writers who have refused to vote them into the Hall of Fame for ...
Report: CBA Has Exceptions So Harden And Westbrook Can Get Paid This Year
At first it appeared that the new CBA’s “Kevin Durant Rule,” which allows NBA teams to offer fatter contracts to keep their superstars from flirting with other options in free agency, would leave the Thunder and Rockets feeling like idiots. Last summer both teams just signed their cornerstones—Russ...
DeMarcus Cousins Got Ejected, Then Un-Ejected
It was a busy Tuesday for DeMarcus Cousins. Fresh off a $50,000 fine for berating a Sacramento Bee columnist (for which he offered a notably lacking apology), Cousins went out, had a monster game, got ejected, got un-ejected, scored 55 points, led the Kings to a big win over the Blazers, and then ga...
DeMarcus Cousins Apologizes To Everyone Except The <i>Sacramento Bee</i>
A week after DeMarcus Cousins chewed out a Sacramento Bee columnist for writing about his brother—and three days after the Bee released video of the incident—the Kings center has reportedly been fined $50,000 by the NBA. He also released an apology heavy on public relations-speak: ...
The NBA's New "Kevin Durant Rule" Will Incentivize Young Superstars To Stay Put
We knew the new CBA made life a little sweeter for the NBA’s superstars, but it’s a dense thing to parse, and explanations have been dribbling out slowly. ESPN’s new Q&A with salary cap expert Larry Coon argues that the most noteworthy development is the owners’ new weapon to keep their superstar pl...
Ex-UConn Soccer Player Sues School After Losing Scholarship Over Middle Finger
In 2014, then-UConn women’s soccer freshman Noriana Radwan flipped off the ESPNU camera in a fit of excitement after the Huskies won their conference championship. I don’t think it reveals too much bias to say the act was, however shocking (not that shocking), effectively harmless....
DeMarcus Cousins Berates Columnist For Writing About His Brother
Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins has never had a cozy relationship with the local media, but things seem to have hit a new low last week....

Two more universities have suspended men’s teams after they found misogynistic messages being sent by the players.

Sage Northcutt Is Running Wild In Sacramento<em></em>
It’s a dull, dreary day here in Northern California, as long-awaited rainstorms are replenishing the state’s meager water supplies and keeping citizens indoors sulking. That, however, is not nearly enough to dampen the spirits of the UFC’s premier Ken doll/golden retriever, Sage Northcutt, who is in...
Hall Of Fame Voter Who Wants To Fight Curt Schilling Gives Up Hall Of Fame Vote
God, it’s “Get worked up about shitty Hall of Fame takes” season again. Every year I go in feeling optimistic—Oh, maybe my guy will get in this year!—and by mid-December I’d rather pull out my fingernails one by one than look at yet another goddamn ballot with two bewildering selections on it. ...
DeMarcus Cousins Is On The Sacramento Kings
DeMarcus Cousins is on the Sacramento Kings. He is not on the Boston Celtics. His time on the Boston Celtics has not gone well or poorly, because he has not had any time on the Boston Celtics, because all of his time has been on the Sacramento Kings. (Also he is not on any other teams, except for th...

What Does The U.S. Department Of Energy Do?
The Department of Energy (DOE) is a Cabinet-level department in the United States government, created in 1977. It is a descendant of—and consolidates the functions of—several predecessor agencies, among them the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA), which was itself a descendant of ...
Rick Perry's Glasses Qualify Him For Important Science Post, Building Nukes<em></em><em></em>
Rick Perry, a swaggering idiot who found a pair of glasses on the street one day, is about to become the head of the Department of Energy, according to CBS News. The Department of Energy’s job right now is to develop the next generation of nuclear weapons. What this means practically speaking, of co...
