Pol's son says Trump hinted at 'a lot of money' in 2008 for Spygate probe to go away
The New England Patriots have as much of a scandalous underbelly as any NFL organization, in no small part due to the example that is set from the top down.

Deadspin fixes the Falcons: Trade Julio Jones and the No. 4 overall pick
Everyone and their mother is talking about the 49ers’ Kyle Shanahan and the No. 3 overall pick. I’ve done so like six different times now.

Drink in the Trevor Bauer tears
In some ways, it felt like MLB set up their new “inspection of baseballs” rules specifically for Trevor Bauer.

You probably do too. That might be why you’re on Twitter — to follow the “Woj Bombs” or Schefter’s BREAKING news. But...
AL West Preview: Now without the noise, what are the Astros?
There are many who thought the Astros got off light before even hitting spring training last year. While the response was always “immunity,” only a couple managers and a GM suffered with the loss of their jobs. ...
I guess I’m still supposed to care about Johnny Manziel?
I’ll be honest, I haven’t cared about Johnny Manziel since long before he was investigated for the domestic abuse of his then-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley. If you’ll recall, Manziel was charged with misdemeanor assault following allegations that he struck Crowley several times after the couple left a...

Dolphins Win Barf Bowl, Lose To Washington In Final Seconds
So far this season the Miami Dolphins had looked unstoppable on their way to a No. 1 draft pick and Tua Tagovailoa.

Jessica Andrade's Neck Slam KO Was Legal, But That Doesn't Make It Any Easier To Watch
Tip to tail, UFC 237 was a bummer. Saturday’s event felt sour from the start of the prelims—when former UFC champ B.J. Penn led off the undercard one month after MMA Junkie reported on allegations against Penn of years of physical and sexual abuse—and the evening culminated with Jessica Andrade det...
Steve Keim Has Built Something Beautifully Dumb In The Desert
For a while there was at least Ryan Grigson, and that was enough.
