No One Knows What ESPN Is Doing To Grantland
Two months ago, ESPN unexpectedly, unceremoniously dumped Bill Simmons, one of the network’s biggest and best-known personalities. When they did, Simmons was forced to abandon Grantland, the sports and pop culture website he created and edited; more specifically, he was forced to abandon dozens of w...
Reports: Colin Cowherd To Leave ESPN, Join Fox Sports
Notable smegma man Colin Cowherd is ending his tenure at ESPN and apparently bringing his show to Fox Sports. (While a deal isn’t yet finalized, that seems like a formality.) The Big Lead’s Ryan Glasspiegel first reported the move....
What Is The Value Of A Ballgame?
Grantland writer Bill Barnwell posed an interesting question yesterday: What if MLB had a player-loan system similar to those used in soccer leagues around the world? This a perfectly fine idea to consider and precisely the kind of thought experiment that could make for an interesting column, which ...
An Adult’s Guide To Learning To Ride A Bicycle
The Anna Karenina principle of biking is this: Everyone who learned how to ride a bicycle did so in roughly the same boring way; anyone who made it to adulthood without learning required a unique series of roadblocks, failures, negligence, and procrastination. If you fall into the latter group, cong...
<i>Trainwreck </i>Isn't A Revolutionary Romcom, But It Is A Great One
For a movie written by and starring a comedian whose standup upends sexual taboos and whose hit Comedy Central show often skewers different genres and pop-culture detritus, the most remarkable thing about Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck is how traditional it is. That’s not a criticism: Rather than trying t...
This Hard Cider Is The Best Summertime Bourbon Mixer
On Monday, one of my favorite beer writers, Jason Notte of Marketwatch, told us to drink more fruit beer. He is a wise man, and that is generally sound advice. However! What if you’ve been drinking too much fruit beer lately? What if you’ve had the good sense to overdose on, say, 21st Amendment’s He...
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 To Run With The Bulls
The following is from True.Ink, the new experience-based magazine; head there for way more photos, not to mention dispatches on how to make a pipe, how to turn your pickup truck into a “boatmobile,” and how to make Tom Brady’s pancake recipe....

The Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos have yet to sign their respective star receivers—Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas—to longterm deals, and the deadline to do so is this Wednesday. According to an ESPN report, if Thomas and Bryant don’t get new deals by the deadline, the players’ union will bring ...
Let's Laugh At The Lakers' Awful Summer League Performance
Tonight the Los Angeles Lakers came out against the Knicks with a performance for the ages: a first quarter featuring seven turnovers, six fouls, and five points. Your future, Lakers fans, is apparently getting dominated by a certain Latvian. ...
White Sox Complete Extremely Stupid Double Play
This double play to close the third in Chicago today is just like White Sox broadcaster Ken “Hawk” Harrelson: famous for being awful. (Fortunately for the White Sox, the Cubs managed to be even more awful at baserunning during the 9-2-6 double play.)...
Greg Hardy's 10-Game Suspension Reduced To Four
Defensive end Greg Hardy signed with the Cowboys in March after his domestic violence charges were dropped when the victim didn’t show up to court; the NFL gave him a 10-game suspension without pay in April. Hardy appealed the punishment, and today, arbitrator Harold Henderson reduced the suspension...
