Damian Lillard for MVP? It’s about Dame Time
There is no player in the NBA that I would want to build a franchise around more than Damian Lillard. Not only is he an elite talent on the court, with his signature #LogoLillard range and #DameTime late-game heroics, but he’s as loyal, hard-working, and passionate about the community as it gets. He...

Historic Robert Saleh hire sparks loooong-lost feeling of hope for this Jets fan
I do not understand. This does not compute. It simply cannot be that the New York Football Jets have gone and done something that hasn’t made me either irate, confused, sad ... or simply emotionless. I go through life as a Jets fan resigned to a fate I accepted four decades ago when I stupidly lande...

Candies To Stress Eat While You Watch The World Series Game Tonight, Ranked
This World Series is depressing as hell, just like many other things that are happening right now and which we have no control over. Neither the Houston Astros nor the Washington Nationals (my team) have managed to win a home game. At Game 3, people were literally crying as we left the stadium, whic...

Classic Rock, Ranked
Kelsey said she saw the film Yesterday on a plane. I said I didn’t understand why “Eleanor Rigby” was such a popular Beatles song. This being Deadspin, we have, after hours of yelling at each other in Slack, reached the natural endpoint of this, which is a democratically produced staff ranking of cl...

Crumbs At The Bottom Of The Cereal Bag, Ranked
(NOTE: Only ranked by how these perform in a bowl with milk. If you wanna use them as an ingredient in some nouveau dessert brittle, that’s a different list.)...

The Deadspin 100: NBA Players, Ranked
It’s that time of year again, hoops fans! The NFL season is in full swing, baseball’s playoffs start next week, and the NBA regular season won’t tip off for another month. You know what that means: It’s time to rank the top 100 active NBA players!...

Best Sports To Read To, Ranked
The thing about reading a book is that it is absolutely, undeniably a sport. Not only does reading a book require endurance, concentration, and a good amount of practice, it is also occasionally competitive. For sure, working so hard to get AR points for reading The Golden Compass or some long doors...

Deadspin, Ranked
Today is my last day as your social media person here at good ol’ Deadspin dot com. I truly cannot think of any better way to say goodbye to this site than by ranking everything I’ve enjoyed about it, including my colleagues and you, the readers....

Worst Foods To Barf, Ranked
I know what you’re thinking: Barfing is bad! All foods are bad to vomit! This is true, but some foods are way worse to puke up than, say, saltine crackers. These are those foods, plus a few liquids that are also bad to throw up....

Which Flavor Of White Claw Hard Seltzer Is Best (At Football)?
This past weekend, I stopped by the little beer-and-wine store near my local supermarket and picked up a 12-can variety pack of White Claw–brand fruit-flavored “hard seltzer.” At the checkout counter, I had two options: A hip-looking 20-something dude with a beard and some kind of bunlike thing goin...

Rex Ryan Is Still Thinking About Those Feeties
Rex Ryan loves feet—specifically his wife’s feet, and we have all known this for years and years. What’s inspiring about Ryan is not that he has an admiration for feet, but that he is extremely comfortable with the entire world having knowledge of that admiration....

Every USWNT Goal Against Thailand, Ranked
If you haven’t heard, the United States puréed Thailand by a score of 13-0 in their 2019 Women’s World Cup opening match today. You don’t score 13 goals without at least some of them being nice, so here’s an objectively correct ranking of every goal:...

Let's Remember Some Guys: The Large Men Of Fleer
There are ways in which the basketball currently being played in the NBA is an evolved version of the basketball played there a decade or so ago. It really is more open in a bunch of ways, for instance, and as a result there are new possibilities in each game that simply would not have fit in the NB...

Arcade Games, Ranked
The Deadspin staff recently moved its office to Times Square, so we’ve been absolutely dying to check out every single frothy tourist trap around us that can sell grilled chicken sandwiches for $25 a pop because it has some sort of cute gimmick.
