James Dolan's New Song Is About How He Should Have Stopped Harvey Weinstein
Knicks owner James Dolan was a longtime friend of disgraced sex pervert Harvey Weinstein, and now he wants to let everyone know that he, James Dolan, is sorry that he never stopped Weinstein from sexually assaulting countless women. Because he is James Dolan, he has expressed this regret through a p...
Yeah, That's A Goddamn Moth In An Umpire's Ear
Gahhhhh. This is an awful thing that should never happen—with any living creature, not just a dusty flying bug—but Yankees-White Sox umpire Bruce Dreckman was remarkably calm when a small, moth-like animal (most likely a moth) flew into his ear between innings....
Alvin Kamara Still Isn't Fucking Over That Minneapolis Miracle Shit<em></em>
Bleacher Report’s Master Tesfatsion went long on Saints running back Alvin Kamara, who’s described as a “reluctant star.” Kamara, the reigning NFL offensive rookie of the year, really opened up to Tesfatsion, especially on the topic of the Minneapolis Miracle that bounced the Saints from the playoff...
Why Is Jose Reyes Still Playing For The Mets?
It still doesn’t quite scan, given that Jose Reyes is one of the best players ever to play for the New York Mets, but it’s true. Purely from a baseball standpoint—surely the most charitable standpoint from which to view someone who was suspended for 51 games by Major League Baseball for an incident ...
Two Pirates Minor Leaguers Hit For The Cycle In The Same Game
Here’s something improbable: two minor league teammates in the Pirates system hit for the cycle Tuesday night, in the same game. Kevin Newman got his in five at-bats, notching a single, a pair of doubles, a triple, and finally, in the eighth inning, a solo dong to left:...
Jerod Mayo's Missing Dog Found Dead In Dog Trainer's Closet
Knox, the pet English bulldog of former New England Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo, went missing back in June, while in the custody of his trainer. On Sunday, the Rhode Island SPCA found the dog’s dead body, in the trainer’s house, where she’d been hiding it....
Yankees Play-By-Play Guy Michael Kay Is In Hot Water With Clint Frazier
In an animated discussion on his radio show Monday, about the four-game weekend series sweep that all but knocked the Yankees out of contention in the AL East, Yankees television play-by-play man Michael Kay was at the very least clumsy with his choice of words while bitching about which Yankees wer...
Bird's Dong Ripped Out Of The Sky
The Yankees are looking to get healthy against the woeful White Sox Monday night, following a decisive four-game sweep at the hands of the Red Sox that all but ended the race for the AL East. Mostly they’re having their way, but the highlight of the game came in the top of the fourth inning, when Ya...
Matt Harvey Is Not Bitter Toward The Mets At All, No Sir
The lowly Reds are taking on the even lowlier Mets Monday night, for the start of a three-game series. The occasion marks the return of Matt Harvey to New York, for the first time as a member of a visiting club. The Mets, perhaps feeling some regret over the way Harvey’s time as a Met ended, put tog...
Why Your Team Sucks 2018: New York Jets<em></em>
Some people are fans of the New York Jets. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the New York Jets. This 2018 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here....
Why Sam Darnold's Holdout Was Bigger Than The Jets
Monday morning, as Sam Darnold’s holdout from Jets training camp was entering its fourth day, the view from two of the country’s top football writers was that a deal simply needed to get done ASAP....
That Might've Been Sonny Gray's Last Bad Start For A While
Sonny Gray, last year’s big trade deadline acquisition, has had a poor 2018, with an ERA of 5.56 and a role in the rotation that’s gone unthreatened only because the Yankees haven’t had any other real options. That last part changed this week when New York went out and got Lance Lynn, who hasn’t bee...
Only The Shit-Ass Mets And Shit-Ass José Reyes Could Make Baseball History Like This
To the surprise of nobody, the Mets followed up yesterday’s 25-4 loss to the Nationals by losing yet again. They couldn’t capitalize on the late momentum they generated last night or the Nationals’ fluid roster, and they wound up losing 5-3. It was not for lack of effort on José Reyes’s part, howeve...
Whatever Caleb Joseph Was Doing On This Home-Plate Play, It Didn't Work<em></em>
With two outs in the top of the fifth in today’s game between the last-place Orioles and the Yankees, Baltimore catcher Caleb Joseph tried to score from first base on a double, but he was out by a mile. As Yankees catcher Austin Romine squared up in front of the plate to make the tag, Joseph went to...
Behold A Cursed Phrase: "The Worst Loss In Mets History"
It is obviously not so simple as this, but when a team, especially one as desperately crummy as the New York Mets, decides to stand pat at the trade deadline, the front office (or perhaps ownership, in this instance) is saying to fans and to the players, “This is fine.” Is this fine? Mere hours afte...
Why Your Team Sucks 2018: New York Giants<em></em>
Some people are fans of the New York Giants. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the New York Giants. This 2018 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here....
Rookie Patriots Lineman Catches Punt, Wins Nights Off
If you ever had any illusions about how easy it would be for you to catch a punt, please watch Patriots rookie lineman Isaiah Wynn, a large man but an athlete nonetheless, struggle to bring one in at the end of a team practice:...
Nationals' Sean Doolittle Does Some Good And Wise Tweets
Nationals reliever Sean Doolittle, whose teammate is one of three prominent baseball players recently found to have a history of homophobic and/or racist Twitter behavior, spent a portion of his Monday off constructing a thoughtful series of tweets on casual bigotry, baseball, and social media:...
The Value Of Public Shaming
The bad old tweets are an increasingly permanent component of the news cycle: An athlete does something good—has a good run of appearances, or gets drafted, or, say, loses a no-hitter with two strikes to go—and someone looks up his very old (and very public) tweets, which are racist and/or homophobi...
