Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer—who, we take great pleasure in reiterating, was charged after allegedly punching a boy in the face over some beach chairs—will miss the first six games of the season....
Boomerangs Are Bullshit
Deadspin is nominally a sports blogsite. There are no major sports in action right now unless you want to count baseball, which is a bad and weak sport. So we at Deadspin started talking about comic books, because at least 100 grim, gritty trailers for superhero movies came out over the weekend. Eve...
How Much Of The Home Run Derby Awesomeness Was The Format?
The Home Run Derby was, from top to bottom, the best in the event’s three-decade history. (I want to hug the phrase “buzzer-beating home run.” We’ve finally perfected sports.) MLB is rightfully being universally praised for introducing new rules that increased the drama, excitement, and competition,...
Hey, The Home Run Derby Was Pretty Fun!
We thought the new Home Run Derby format sounded good, and it turns out that it was. In a scene straight out of an MLB marketer’s daydream, longtime Cincinnati Red Todd Frazier won in bonus time over Joc Pederson, the most exciting Home Run Derby in years. ...
MLB Will Shorten The Home Run Derby Because Of The Weather
Severe weather is expected in much of the Midwest tonight, and that includes Cincinnati, home of the All-Star Game and tonight’s Home Run Derby. There’s the possibility of lightning, damaging winds, and downpours like the ones that rolled through this afternoon:...
NFL Coach Who Allegedly Hit A Kid May Go With The "It Was Dark" Defense
Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer, who was arrested on Sunday for allegedly punching a boy and then threatening to kill that boy’s family if he went to the cops, is going to have to come up with some kind of explanation for allegedly punching a kid. According to a source who spoke to Fox Sport...

The Home Run Derby Field Is A Good One
We are—dare I say—excited about next Monday’s Home Run Derby in Cincinnati. A radical new format promises more action in less time, and the eight participants, announced last night, don’t have a stinker among them....
Dee Gordon's Inside-The-Parker Was The Fastest Home Run On Record
Granted, the record only goes back six seasons. But damn, Dee Gordon is fast:...
This Year's Home Run Derby Sounds Pretty Good, Actually

No, Of Course That UFC Guy Didn't Yell About "Not For Gay Jesus" On TV
Does “Go for Jesus, not for gay Jesus, people!” sound like a plausible, idiomatic form of religious trolling to you, or does it maybe seem like the sort of infantilized structure that’s easy to map onto a non-native speaker’s syntax and pronunciation? ...
Alex Rodriguez Hits Home Run For 3,000th Career Hit
Alex Rodriguez became the first player since Derek Jeter to join baseball’s 3,000-hit club, and just like Jeter in 2011, he did it with a home run....
Joey Gallo Is Already Raking
Rangers third baseman Joey Gallo made his major league debut tonight, and I can already tell that he is going to be one of my favorite baseball players. Basically, every time he comes to the plate, Gallo swings as hard as he possibly can. This results in a ludicrous number of strikeouts, but an equa...
Kris Bryant Nails Top Of Wrigley Scoreboard With 477-Foot Bomb
Kris Bryant has been hitting great since his ignominious introduction to the big leagues. He was batting .282 with six home runs before tonight’s game, and his OPS was 24th best in the majors, which is fantastic for a rookie. ...
Brewers Successfully Challenge Home Run Hitter Called Out At Home
Today in “manager challenges you didn’t expect to see”: Craig Counsell successfully challenging the Brewers’ Khris Davis being called out after hitting a home run. Home plate ump Will Little called Davis out after the Giants appealed, tossing the ball to the plate claiming the Milwaukee outfielder h...
Dodgers Fan Videotapes Himself Catching Home Run Ball
The Dodgers may be getting spanked by the Padres today at Chavez Ravine, but at least one L.A. fan will go home happy. That’s because this guy in left field not only snagged a home run ball, but he caught his own feat on video. That’s talent. (Send us your video, guy!)...
Pittsburgh Man Wants Home Run Ball That Landed In His Boat
Pittsburgh television station WTAE tracked down the owner of the boat that Pedro Alvarez hit a home run into last night, and he wants the ball back. ...
Giancarlo Stanton's Moonshot Topped Only By The Fan Who Caught It
Giancarlo Stanton is a very good baseball man. When he hits the ball, often it leaps off of his bat approaching the speed of light, and goes much farther than any tightly wound lump of cork, yarn, and cowhide has any right to go. ...
Giancarlo Stanton Crushes Homer Out Of Dodger Stadium, Literally
Holy crap, Giancarlo Stanton mashed this first inning pitch from Mike Bolsinger out of Dodger Stadium. Not out of the field of play, but out of the entire stadium....
Round Of 16 Champions League Tie Ends In Sorry Display Of Penalties
After 120 full minutes at the Vicente Calderón in Madrid, the round of 16 Champions League tie between Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen was level 1-1 on aggregate. Time for some penalties!...
