This week in the NFL, NCAA: A Black vs. white game?; Aaron Rodgers fooling no one; Chargers coaching intrigue; time to talk MVP Award

The Week 15 finale on Monday Night Football has the biggest NFC playoff ramifications of any game on the slate.

There is very little in the world stupider than the Tommy DeVito 'Pizzagate'

Let me tell you about the dumbest story in the sports world this week that’s more than just a big dog sitting courtside at the Lakers game. (To be fair, it was a big, fluffy dog.) New York Giants QB Tommy DeVito got snapped by the cruel rubber band of fame after his agent, Sean Stellato, pulled the ...

Aaron Rodgers was never going to play and he knew it

There’s a list of things that are more important to Aaron Rodgers than playing quarterback. The first one is that you pay attention to him, above all else. That’s why he has his weekly Viking horn on Pat McAfee’s Douche Emporium For Chads, where he can vocal vomit a decent percentage of the world’s ...

Welcome to Deadspin’s The Sports Nihilist, where all is for naught, and we are but accidental jolts of electrified meat stuck to the surface of a rock in an indifferent universe....

This week in football: Chiefs' act is getting so old; No Supe for Al Michaels; Tommy DeVito's stupid situation with the Giants

Full disclosure, I’ve never been on board with the Kansas City Chiefs. Sure, they were, for a while, the best team in America, with a young and exciting generational talent under center and a head coach who never had to answer for anything because he wears Hawaiian shirts, has a funny mustache, and ...

Adam Silver shouldn't be consulting Twitter to decide Draymond Green's suspension

After a day of internet outrage by the media and fans alike, Draymond Green has been sat down for an indefinite amount of time.

Joe Flacco is doing something no one thought possible

There is a whole mess of teams clustered together with 7-6 records in the AFC. One of those teams is not the Cleveland Browns.

So how much does Shohei Ohtani really improve the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024?

Much like Susie Izzard (Drink!) says chiropractors “LIVE FOR THE NOISE!” I too live for the noise of the offseason. We can’t get much more than Shohei Ohtani and his reps donated to us, or at least their methods of sending the baseball press into orbit did. There should be much more to come, but the...

God, I’m sick of the Kansas City Chiefs

Full disclosure, I’ve never been on board with the Kansas City Chiefs. Sure, they were, for a while, the best team in America, with a young and exciting generational talent under center and a head coach who never had to answer for anything because he wears Hawaiian shirts, has a funny mustache, and ...

Zach Wilson keeps thriving when expectations are low

Intermittently, Zach Wilson is capable of balling out. He can’t consistently progress through reads and hit open receivers, but occasionally, his fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants quarterbacking rewards Jets fans with a rare gem. On Sunday, New York turned back to Wilson after benching him for the third...
