The Woodford Reserve Turf Classic Was Cursed

Kasaqui and Triple Threat got tangled up on the final turn of today’s Kentucky Derby national broadcast undercard race, with the former taking an ugly spill and both horses losing their jockeys.

MLB Expansion Won't Happen For A While, But When It Does, Rob Manfred Likes Montreal And Mexico City

Get Fucked, John Kasich

What even was John Kasich’s sweaty, affronted, whatever-happened-to-the-responsible-grownups-in-this-party act if not an even more insulting and ahistorical version of “Make America Great Again”? When was the last time the Republican Party had responsible grownups? When it sold a needless, catastrop...

What A Silent Retreat Is Like For Someone Who Can't Shut Up

Seriously, I can’t shut up. “Loquacious” would be putting it nicely. “Needy, overwhelming persistence” would probably be more accurate. Hell, it’s why I’m a journalist: because I can’t keep myself from expressing every single utterly useless thought that slips into my head. Although I can fend off t...

The Story Behind Hockey's Most Famous Photo

The number of truly iconic hockey pictures is surprisingly small. The sport is notoriously difficult to photograph, thanks to the fast-paced action, the elusive puck, and some unique space, proximity, and lighting restrictions. There’s Denis Brodeur (yes, Martin’s father) and his shot of Paul Hender...

The richest touring musician in the world is being called to the stage for a soundcheck....

Lionel Messi Is Back On Japanese TV, Juggling Balls He Kicks To The Moon

During the same appearance on the Japanese game show in which he bested that enormous robot demon keeper, Lionel Messi sought to reclaim the world-record juggling trick he set the last time he was on the show. Unsurprisingly, he succeeded:...

Youtube Bodybuilders Rich Piana And Dmitry Klokov Can Teach You How To Live

As many people do, I enjoy watching Youtube fitness personalities who range from eccentric to dangerous to themselves. There are the classic accounts like Scooby, a fedora-wearing older man with a pleasant voice and numerous dietary theories; there are the newer folks on the scene like Kinobody, som...

How Two Online Baseball Writers Won An Indie-League Draft By Finding Talent And Stealing It

The following is excerpted from The Only Rule Is It Has To Work, the wonderful new book in which two sabermetrically-inclined baseball writers—Sam Miller of Baseball Prospectus and Ben Lindbergh of ESPN—recount their experience running baseball operations for the Sonoma Stompers, an actual, real-lif...

Is The Live Sports Rights Bubble Finally Bursting?

Snapchat Vikings Fan Has One Thing Go Right In His Life 

If you use Snapchat—probably not, because you read Deadspin and are statistically most likely to be an irritable dad with a law degree—you were probably captivated by the romance of the week.

Lionel Messi Takes On Giant Inflatable Demon Robot Keeper

A Japanese game show recently tested out the “Why don’t you just play with a huge goalkeeper who can block the whole goal?” theory on Lionel Messi. He showed that, even if you get a nightmarish, house-sized Miitomo-looking demon to guard the goal, he’ll still score on you....

Never Doubt Lionel Messi

You’d have to go back a little earlier in the game than where this clip starts to get it, but watching live, at the point where the following highlight begins I was pretty sure Lionel Messi was fucking up:...

George Karl Says The Kings Were As Toxic As They Seemed

This might be counterintuitive, but I wish the Kings had been a little better or a lot worse. They won just few enough games to not matter, and did so boringly, and that’s a shame: This was one of the most dysfunctional seasons in recent memory, and even though everyone knew it, I’m not sure it gets...
