David Wright Was Being Playful When He Said "Fuck You" To Freddie Freeman
Mets third baseman and lunch policeman David Wright was fired up after tying the game with an RBI single in the seventh inning of Wednesday night’s game.

The Idiotic <i>Stonewall </i>Is A Bigger Disaster Than Roland Emmerich's Actual Disaster Movies
1. Stonewall misses the point of the Stonewall riots in almost the exact same way that Pearl Harbor missed the point of Pearl Harbor. That’s not a comparison I make lightly.

Photos: Jason Pierre-Paul's Right Hand
The New York Daily News published some pretty clear photos of Jason Pierre-Paul’s right hand, which he badly damaged in a fireworks accident in July.

Ducks' Clayton Stoner Charged For Killing And Beheading Cheeky The Bear
NHL player Clayton Stoner, then with the Minnesota Wild, traveled to British Columbia in May of 2013, killed a grizzly bear, cut off his head, and posed for a photo. That September, we declared him an enemy of Deadspin. Today, Stoner’s facing five charges related to the death of Cheeky the bear....

Tom Brady Says It "Would Be Great" If Donald Trump Becomes President

OK, Just How Many Damn Fingers Does JPP Have Left?
We knew, from curiously leaked hospital records, that Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul lost his right index finger after a July 4 fireworks accident. Pierre-Paul maintained that, other than the whole missing finger, he was fine; the Giants disagreed once they finally got to see it. Now comes a report tha...
