We’ll be with you as we count down the haughtiest, most hypocritical, and just plain dumbest...
These are the oldest players in MLB history
Baseball is America’s oldest and most storied professional sport. The lengthy history of the game, coupled with its non-contact nature, has made these players by far the oldest to appear in a game in the history of North American sports....
Dear Santa: All I want for Christmas is my sports suggestions taken seriously
By and large, sports are pretty awesome. I have learned to keep my childhood favorite teams at a healthy distance and I advise all Chicago sports fans to do the same. I spend most of the year in awe of the artistic displays of the most brilliant athletes in the world. ...
This week in the NBA: G-League star in sex-date murder; Miles Bridges with another 'ban'; Chris Russo pokes the Shaq bear
A former NBA G-League player confessed to strangling a woman with the help of his ex-girlfriend, who planned the murder plot, according to court records obtained by KCRA 3. - Mackenzie Meaney Read More...
May old acquaintance be forgot: The notable athletes who retired in 2023
As the curtain falls on 2023, the sports world bids adieu to a tapestry of legends and underdogs across all sports. We highlighted the legacy names who decided to hang it up in 2023. Many on this list are cemented in record books and in the hearts of their die-hard fanbases. Let’s pour out a drink a...
The Ravens have their bulletin board material ready for their biggest game of the year
One of the biggest Christmas Day showdowns since Shaq vs. Kobe 2004, and Rocky vs. Drago is taking place on Dec. 25, 2023. The No. 1 seed in the AFC — the Baltimore Ravens — is going up against the top NFC seed — the San Francisco 49ers. Personally, I prefer when the NFL does not insert itself into ...
Zion Williamson is losing money for not losing weight
One of the league’s best young players may have his career slip away before our eyes. ...
I hope Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo knows he’s in Shaq’s dog house
Chris “Mad Dog” Russo got a little carried away Wednesday on First Take. I know, that is his job on the show. The guy invented sports-talk radio volume. His takes are somehow louder than his voice. In small social media clips, I find Mad Dog entertaining. I even find some of his perspectives on life...
Former NBA G-Leaguer confesses to killing woman on sex date
A former NBA G-League player confessed to strangling a woman with the help of his ex-girlfriend, who planned the murder plot, according to court records obtained by KCRA 3....
What Ja Morant did Tuesday night is why I want him to stay out of trouble
What is most important for Ja Morant is to stop moving recklessly in his life. He recently appeared in court for an alleged fight with a 17-year-old. Both times the NBA has suspended him, it wanted him to stop making decisions that are capable of ruining — and possibly ending — his life. All of that...
Aaron Rodgers was never going to play and he knew it
There’s a list of things that are more important to Aaron Rodgers than playing quarterback. The first one is that you pay attention to him, above all else. That’s why he has his weekly Viking horn on Pat McAfee’s Douche Emporium For Chads, where he can vocal vomit a decent percentage of the world’s ...
A Black vs. white NFL game might teach league talent evaluators to give white players a chance at all positions
I do not agree with Rashard Mendenhall, entirely. In my humble opinion, people of all races and ethnicities talk entirely too spicy about professional athletes. No professional is above criticism just because the critic is not one. However, regardless of whether someone can dunk at an open gym or be...
If only the NBA found Miles Bridges as intolerable as Canada does
Canada should’ve just denied entry to the entire Charlotte Hornets organization. LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Steve Clifford, Hugo the Hornet and the rest of them should’ve taken the team plane to the next city willing to let Miles Bridges perform his basketball duties. ...
The Cowboys getting beat down by the Bills might help them in the long run
Taking an ass-whooping can is a part of life. Whether getting physically dominated or simply enduring a hard loss, that moment is eventually almost unavoidable for most people. The Dallas Cowboys got their ass kicked in a physical sense all throughout their Week 15 matchup against the Buffalo Bills....
Social media sports troll strikes again at DII hoop game
Some fans will do anything for attention, and then there are content creators for whom attention is the entire point. One example of the latter tried his luck on Saturday during the Lindenwood versus Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis college hoops game. With less than 90 seconds left...
It's been 17 years since Carmelo Anthony punched Mardy Collins
It is the 17th anniversary of one of the last big brawls the NBA has seen. It’s so infamous it even has its own Wikipedia page....
Using a dead Kobe Bryant as a symbol of LA sports culture is very late-stage capitalism
The Los Angeles Dodgers pulled out all the stops for their Shohei Ohtani pitch. That included bringing back Kobe Bryant from the dead. ...
Phoenix Suns' Big 3 will be put on hold...again
Welcome to Deadspin’s The Sports Nihilist, where all is for naught, and we are but accidental jolts of electrified meat stuck to the surface of a rock in an indifferent universe....
