Tom Brady Leaves Press Conference After Two Questions About His Friendship With Donald Trump
This morning’s cover of the New York Daily News features the headline “BRADY HAS NO BALLS” over a picture of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady standing with rancid salmon filet Donald Trump, whom Brady has previously called a “great friend” while saying it “would be great” if Trump became p...
Tom Brady On Donald Trump: "He's A Good Friend Of Mine ... I Support All My Friends"
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady appeared for his regular interview on Dennis & Callahan this morning, and actually had to face a question about Donald Trump, a toupee someone found in a garbage can and stapled to a sweet potato. Brady did a good job of not providing an actual answer. When one of the ...
How The Warriors Streak Ended
24 wins in a row is as impressive of a streak as you’ll ever see to start an NBA season, but the Warriors were close to a different, sneakily difficult record last night. Had they beaten the Milwaukee Bucks, they would have secured the first 7-0 road trip in history. That stat doesn’t leap off the p...
Milwaukee Beats Golden State; Warriors' Record Season-Starting Win Streak Snapped At 24
Finally, someone has beaten the Golden State Warriors this 2015-26 season—and it’s the Milwaukee Bucks, whose 108-95 win lets us go back to pretending the NBA doesn’t exist for another two weeks....
The Orioles Are Done Talking To Chris Davis For Now
Hot stove season is the best because we all get to play. Not just passively hoping for and dreaming of improvements to our favorite teams, but the armchair, semi-informed analysis we get to provide when details of negotiations become public. If something leaks, it leaks for a reason, and when contra...
Soccer Players And Coaches Celebrate Season Finale By Pummeling Each Other
Well, this is certainly one way to mark the culmination of the Bolivian league season. Not the best way, mind you, but one way....
We Will Pay The Reporter Who Asks Tom Brady About His Friend Donald Trump’s Plan To Ban Muslims
Yesterday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called on the United States to ban all Muslims, including American citizens, from entering the country. Deadspin will pay $100 to the first reporter who asks Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who said three months ago that “it would be great” i...
Rogério Ceni, The Goalkeeper Who Thought He Was A Striker, Retires
In his over two decade career, Rogério Ceni scored 131 goals in 1,256 matches for club and country. A goal once every 10 games or so would be a piss-poor return if Ceni was a striker, but he wasn’t. He was a goalkeeper....
What Was Bill Belichick Thinking?
If the season ended today, the Patriots would have to play (against the Jets!) on wild-card weekend. It’s a quick turnaround for a team, that just two games ago, had its sights set on another perfect regular season. But life comes at you fast, and if it’s entirely normal that New England would strug...

Tom Brady Has Nobody Left To Throw To
After Rob Gronkowski left Sunday’s game against the Broncos with a late leg injury, Tom Brady threw passes to a 30-year-old backup who was very clear about that role, a rookie with more lost fumbles than NFL receptions, Brandon LaFell, and a backup running back with 22 career carries. It didn’t go w...
Jairo Samperio Gets Knocked Down, Scores Nifty Scissor-Kick Goal Anyway
Jorge Samperio is a young Spanish winger currently running around and scoring cool goals like this on the left wing for Bundesliga club Mainz 05. This was the most impressive league goal of his career, but the below goal is also pretty slick....
Stephen A. Smith Goes On Insane, Delusional Rant About Who Gets Credit For The Warriors' Success
With the Warriors off to a 20-0 start under interim head coach Luke Walton, a popular topic of discussion has been who deserves credit for the historic start. Coaching-wise Luke Walton and Steve Kerr both defer, crediting the other one, while the NBA has split the baby by officially crediting the wi...
Kemba Walker Would Like To Know Where The Fuck The Help Is At
Steph Curry did some extremely rude things to the Hornets last night, and Kemba Walker did not have a super fun time trying to guard the best scorer in the league....
Steph Curry Does Some Steph Curry Shit, Scores 28 In Third Quarter
The Warriors played somebody tonight and beat them by a ton of points and blah blah blah you’ve heard this a dozen times this season already. But what you haven’t seen is Steph Curry reaching a new level of supernova, scoring 28 points in the third quarter. Just look at the play-by-play for the fina...
Bill Belichick Is Extra Grumpy This Morning
The Patriots are notoriously cagey when it comes to talking publicly about player injuries, which is why it was kind of weird to see the team release an official statement about Rob Gronkowski’s knee injury. At this morning’s press conference, head coach Bill Belichick was asked why the team decided...
Warriors Players Mock Smarmy Basketblogger
After last night’s Warriors-Jazz game, a local Jazz blogger named Ben Dowsett sent out some bad tweets about how the Warriors just didn’t have enough respect for the team that didn’t beat them....
Reports: Rob Gronkowski Is "Going To Be OK"
Like some sort of reverse Christmas morning, where the presents are torn ligaments and the tinsel is an early playoff exit (I’m still working on the analogy), Patriots fans had to be dreading waking up to details on Rob Gronkowski’s scary-looking knee injury, which caused the star TE to be carted of...
Patriots' Undefeated Season Goes Down On 48-Yard C.J. Anderson Run In Overtime
The Peyton Manning-less Denver Broncos handed New England their first loss of the season in overtime in the middle of a Colorado blizzard tonight. C.J. Anderson sealed it with this run from 48 yards out on a toss play on third-and-1. Carolina is now the only undefeated team left in the NFL (probably...
The Patriots Are Sketchy And Deserve Scrutiny
Monday night’s Buffalo Bills-New England Patriots game was a primetime display of shoddy officiating. The most egregious instance involved an inadvertent whistle on a Danny Amendola catch that would have been a huge gain, if not a touchdown, but Gene Steratore’s crew bungled other plays throughout t...
