NCAA hoops should follow NFL’s lead on relaxing uniform number rules
If you’ve ever watched college basketball, chances are you’ve never seen anyone wear a number ending in 6-through-9 or exceeding 55. If you’ve ever played a college basketball video game, you could never even create a character with such a number. So if you’ve played MyCareer in a recent NBA2K insta...
With a fully vaxxed commish, bring on the bro hugs and chest bumps!
Because I’m a lunatic who thinks entirely too much about the NFL Draft, I’ve been wondering what the process would look like next week. Last year, Roger Goodell slouched in his beat up leather chair while wearing a cardigan, then read the names. The camera would cut to wherever those athletes were, ...
College football makes change to OT, and it doesn't suck
The NCAA apparently doesn’t want college football games to potentially go to absurd quadruple overtimes anymore, so they made a slight change to the manner in which overtime will be played, starting this year....
Earth Day 2021: Athletes say climate change should be a hot topic in sports
The world of sports is not hermetically sealed. Societal issues, economic concerns, political disputes, and, yes, the climate, all permeate the games we watch and play....
Oh look, here’s a DUMB take from Tom Brady no one asked for
Tom Brady kindly would like you to get off his lawn and stop fucking with traditions that are super-duper important, like jersey numbers. The NFL has passed a rule to relax their jersey number options, allowing running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends to wear any number from 1-49 and 80-89. Def...
Nope, sorry, I’m tired of hearing it — size does NOT matter when it comes to DeVonta Smith’s talent
Yes-yes, sure-sure … top-tier wide receiver prospect DeVonta Smith is 166 pounds — I know. And I don’t give a damn....
Vikings' Justin Jefferson ballin’ makes us wonder which other NFL players could get you buckets?

Deadspin Fixes: The NHL schedule
Yesterday over at ESPN, Greg Wyshynski put forth a report that says the NHL is looking to start next season somewhere around October 12. It’s a little later than a season would normally start, thanks to this season ending in the middle of July for two teams at least, and maybe more if the league has...
The NFL doesn’t make the rules, they just… wait, yes they do
Every year, the NFL comes together to throw out new rules which tend to confuse us, screw our teams, and sometimes both. So pay attention. Because, today, the league and team owners agreed to pass these new rules for the 2021 season....
MLB Film Room allows you to choose your own video compilation adventure
If you like sports and watching videos online, YouTube’s algorithm becomes a self-fulfilling goldmine of clips. Watch enough highlights, and your front page fills up with stuff like “NFL Most Yards Lost in One Play,” “MLB 1 in a Billion Moments,” and “Legendary Fake Plays.” A whole bunch of accounts...
Hurts so good, too bad his dumbass coach doesn’t see it
Even after trading Carson Wentz, Jalen Hurts still isn’t being treated like a franchise quarterback, despite the only other quarterback option on the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster being 36-year-old statuesque can-only-operate-from-the-pocket Joe Flacco. Apparently, new head coach Nick Sirianni isn’t n...
There’s being a clueless rich white guy, then there’s Mark Davis
While Nancy Pelosi’s awful characterization of the murder of George Floyd as “sacrificing” himself probably cannot be outdone, the sports world had plenty of tone-deaf responses to the Derek Chauvin verdict. Notably, the NHL offered up a nothing burger that didn’t mention race or George Floyd and re...
The Derek Chauvin verdict is what Colin Kaepernick was kneeling for
From the time Colin Kaepernick first sat, and later kneeled, during the National Anthem to when George Floyd’s murderer was found guilty on all counts, 1,698 days, 40,752 hours, and 2,445,120 minutes had passed. ...
Sports world hails guilty verdict for Derek Chauvin
The sports world took to twitter before and after the Derek Chauvin verdict was announced Tuesday. Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of the murder of George Floyd, was found guilty on all counts, which included second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree mansla...
It's 4:20 on 4/20, let's fire one up for the sports heroes who smoke weed
With every 4/20 that goes by, sports leagues seem to care less and less about weed. As they should....
If Zach Wilson goes ahead of Justin Fields that’s some B.S.

Aldon Smith wanted for allegedly choking person unconscious in coffee shop
It’s not every day that you see an NFL player on a wanted poster. The freshly-signed-by-the-Seahawks Aldon Smith is wanted for a second-degree battery from an incident that happened on the evening of April 17, 2021....
Alex Smith completed the comeback
If any one person deserves the trite title of “comeback kid,” it’s Alex Smith. The veteran quarterback almost died after suffering a gruesome leg injury in 2018, and somehow returned to (and won games in) the league....
Rams, clearly jealous of Kliff Kingsbury’s house, retreat to Malibu mansion for draft
I’m not sure if the Los Angeles Rams’ draft is sponsored by Rocket Mortgage or cocaine sales, but it’s definitely one of those. After watching Arizona Cardinals’ head coach Kliff Kingsbury draft from his lair last year like a modern-day Batman villain, Sean McVay will be getting a similar setup this...
