Deadspin Dead Ringers: Professional athletes and their celebrity doppelgängers
We’ve all heard of doppelgängers — people who aren’t related but look like one another. There’s a whole subreddit dedicated to finding lookalikes. There was a Saturday Night Live short on the subject. But have you ever looked at one of your favorite athletes, or a player on your favorite team and no...
The best fan-hosted NBA podcasts
With trust in the mainstream media dwindling daily, it’s no wonder corporate sports journalism is also losing ground. Partisanship and traffic-driven agendas have diluted the public’s trust in NBA talking heads. As anyone with a microphone and laptop can start a podcast, a DIY community of fan-drive...
Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers are putting on a show
It’s the season of giving and the Indiana Pacers have one man to be thankful for their early season prosperity. Tyrese Haliburton has given the league whiplash leading Indiana’s turnaround in the second year of his stint in Indiana. No offense is more captivating to watch or more dynamic than Indian...
Aaron Rodgers can't stop being a total idiot
It’s been nearly two weeks since America last rolled their eyes at Aaron Rodgers, thus giving him the attention he so desperately craves, so you knew he was going to say something galaxy-brained and bone-headed before the week was up. Luckily, we have Pat McAfee paying him for that, so we were not d...
For one week, at least, Monday Night Football regained its crown as king of must-see NFL action
I have lived long enough to be aware that there are people who have no idea of the enormity of Monday Night Football. The Brady-Manning Bowl of 2005 was an MNF broadcast. For three and a half decades, there was no bigger regular-season NFL stage than that primetime matchup on ABC. ...
The Carolina Panthers have a Dave Tepper problem
In May of 2018, at the Whitley Hotel in Atlanta — known then as the Ritz-Carlton (Buckhead) — Dave Tepper played one of the greatest games of “Big Bank Take Little Bank” of all time. He bought the Carolina Panthers for a then-record $2.275 billion…in CASH....
The Cardinals appear to want to assemble the worst starting rotation
The 2023 season for the St. Louis Cardinals was an absolute disaster. Though they entered it as the NL Central favorites, even if by default, they lost 91 games as pretty much everything went wrong. The epicenter of their collapse was their starting rotation, which contained pitchers that couldn’t s...
The Steelers finally fire Matt Canada, officially have no excuses left
Let it never be said again that the Rooney family, owners of the Pittsburgh Steelers, are loyal to a fault. It’s easy to see how many fans of the Black & Yellow, and national observers of the franchise, developed that opinion in recent years. ...
We’ve seen the Tush Push, now get ready for the Nose Tackle Nutmeg
If you weren’t too afraid of the never-ending Taylor Swift references to watch last night’s Philadelphia Eagles-Kansas City Chiefs game, you might have noticed Philly defensive tackle Jalen Carter doing something you have never seen before late in the first half. (Personally, I’m far more offended b...
Mark Wahlberg has the same enthusiasm for the ManningCast as we do
Peyton and Eli Manning were back on Monday Night on the “ManningCast” for the Super Bowl rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. As usual, they had a plethora of guests during this clash, which saw the Eagles hold on to win 21-17. One of the Manning brothers’ guests on this e...
Howie Roseman sure knows how to assemble a stacked roster
Obviously, the Kansas City Chiefs could have played better. Maybe the offense misses the big plays that JuJu Smith-Schuster made to help lift them past the Philadelphia Eagles in last season’s Super Bowl. The referees could have also been better at their jobs....
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are turning Monday Night Football into a <i>Meet the Parents </i>sequel

Vikings' Alexander Mattison is styling with chain mouth piece
Every now and then, we get a story in pro sports where a player is fined or reprimanded in some way for something viewed as trivial by the public. In the NFL, this often happens when a player violates the league’s uniform policy. In the past, players have been punished for wearing the wrong socks or...
The NFL wants to dismiss Jim Trotter’s lawsuit — Loretta Lynch is defending the league’s racism. Again
The first Black woman to serve as this country’s Attorney General is trying to get Jim Trotter’s racial discrimination/retaliation lawsuit against the NFL dismissed — 21 months after she was hired to defend the league from Brian Flores’ class-action lawsuit against the NFL’s alleged racists hiring p...
Week 11 NFL Takeaways: Lions, Dolphins and Texans escape disaster
Winning a game does not mean the victorious team is better than the one that lost. The football is oblong and takes several unpredictable bounces every game. Sometimes sure-handed running backs fumble and undependable quarterbacks throw for 400 yards and four touchdown passes....
The curse of the Detroit Lions may finally be over
This week marks the 60th anniversary of William Clay Ford becoming the majority owner of the Detroit Lions on the same day JFK was assassinated. That inauspicious timing fits the Lions franchise. The Kennedy family curse has nothing on the Ford family’s. Between 1952 and 1962, Detroit had won three ...
The Phillies are betting on Aaron Nola to bounce back
The numbers add up for the Phillies to hand Aaron Nola a seven-year deal with an average of $24 million or so per year. Losing him would have meant a hole in the No.2 spot of their rotation. at the very least, and the Phillies aren’t chasing down Atlanta (even if at this pace their 40-man roster mig...
The Jets got what they deserve with Zach Wilson
Zach Wilson finally broke Robert Saleh. Fortunately, for Saleh, not literally, when Wilson ran into him during the game. Saleh’s confidence in Wilson as starting quarterback for the New York Jets though, that is in pieces....
