Markieff Morris Ejected After Kicking Mason Plumlee In The Dick And Balls
Folks, we got some twin-on-twin on violence against one of the twin’s twins. Markieff Morris got stonewalled by Mason Plumlee late in the fourth quarter and his leg popped up in what Draymond Green would call a “natural foot motion,” catching Plumlee right in the dick and balls. The look of anguish ...
Benches Clear As Steaming-Mad Chris Mullin Gets Into It With Georgetown Coaching Staff
Things got real testy in the second half of Georgetown’s meeting with St. John’s in the Big East Tournament. After Georgetown players took issue with a seemingly dirty foul, they scuffled a bit. Then, volcano of angry energy Chris Mullin left the bench and went out of his way to yell at John Thompso...
Piss Off, Tim Tebow
Tim Tebow isn’t a major-league ballplayer, and he isn’t a pro ballplayer in any but the barest, most literal sense. Certainly, if he weren’t famous for playing football and for not having been aborted, no one anywhere would pay him money to play baseball. Look at this shit!...
Democratic Process Gives Every Idiot A Voice
The true spirit of our Founding Fathers was celebrated this week in Bayonne, New Jersey, where the local quacks, racists, and morons were allowed to voice their stupid views at a zoning hearing. ...
Dirk Nowitzki Forever
Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki came into tonight’s game against the Lakers just 20 points short of 30,000 career points.

USWNT Concedes A Pair Of Easy Goals To France
France took a 2-0 lead against the United States Women’s National Team into halftime tonight without having to do much besides let Eugénie Le Sommer run at the USWNT’s center backs and let them fall over themselves to give her easy paths to goal. It started in the seventh minute, when Allie Long got...
Man, Cristiano Ronaldo Really Blew This One
Okay, okay, this isn’t quite a gimme goal here that Cristiano Ronaldo just missed. The angle was tough, and he had a lot to focus on with the keeper and defender right on top of him. Still, it was an open net, it would’ve been a hugely important goal in this second leg of Real Madrid’s Champions Lea...

No Move Makes More Sense Than Tony Romo To The Broncos
Tony Romo, despite missing all but four games to injury over the last two seasons, is probably the most in-demand quarterback on the market. The Broncos are probably the best overall team with a massive hole at quarterback, and the motivation to quickly plug in an effective veteran. So, Romo-to-Denv...

Dwight Howard And Dennis Schroder Argue While Steph Curry Hits An Open Three<em></em>
Gah, it must be frustrating being Dwight Howard’s teammate. You’d probably want to vent too after watching that dumb, charmless lunk whip a routine pass at the scorer’s table. But if you yap too hard, as Dennis Schroder did last night, you might end up leaving Steph Curry wide open from three. ...
The Future Of Feature Writing Is Woof Woof Bark Aww
If you’re a regular reader of feature journalism on the internet, you have encountered what we at Deadspin sometimes refer to as the “Snow Fall” treatment, after the famous New York Times story that launched the phenomenon.

Georgetown SID Shuts Down Reporter Who Asks About John Thompson III's Job
The past week—well, the past four years—has been rough for the Georgetown men’s basketball program, which is slowly coming to terms with the fact that it will have to part ways with John Thompson III in the very-near future. While students, fans, and pundits all see the falling curtain, the Hoyas pu...

The Idiot Behind "Kirby's Law" Is Giving Us The Latest Stupid Bill Out Of Georgia
It took me just one semester of college covering the Florida legislature as a student to realize how little state lawmakers give a shit about public universities as institutions of higher learning. Sure, they give out money, but it’s largely in the extension of their own interests. In Florida, the G...

John Wall Denied Serge Ibaka's Dunk And It Was Glorious
In the fourth quarter of the Wednesday night game between the Toronto Raports and the Washington Wizards, Raptors forward Serge Ibaka collected a pass under the basket, pivoted, and launched himself towards the rim for a one-handed jam. It looked like he’d make it, too, until John Wall swooped down ...
