The Entire Plot Of The Next Season Of <i>Game Of Thrones </i>Seems To Have Leaked
HBO’s Game Of Thrones, the hit show about sibling fucking, is currently in the process of filming its seventh and kinda-sorta-not-really final full season in Spain.

The Cowboys Still Won't Commit To Dak Prescott
Rookie QB Dak Prescott has a seven-game track record that should be more than enough to secure him the starting job.

The Beer-Throwing Blue Jays Fan Got Away
There’s a pattern here. Four years ago at the Rogers Centre someone nailed an umpire with a beer. Three years ago a fan chucked a full beer can at the Orioles’ Nate McLouth. In last year’s ALDS, the crowd protested a bizarre play by littering the field with trash, a scene lowlighted by a baby being ...

Jerry Jones Bought Himself A Helicopter Because That's What Rich Old Bastards Do

GRRM Refuses To Address Rumor That He Has Pages
Last we heard from friend of the program and A Song Of Ice And Fire author George R.R. Martin, he insisted to Deadspin that he had pages.

UFC 200 Is Still The Best Card Of The Year
All the old knocks still apply. The Ultimate Fighting Championship is a corrupt, exploitative brand in a corrupt, exploitative sport. It functions in large part to enrich the egos and bank accounts of people lacking for neither, and it does so belligerently. At the moment it’s a business that may or...
