Tom Brady was fine, but give the Bucs’ defense their due
There is zero chance I would have believed you last week if you told me that the Chiefs, with one of the most explosive and creative offenses in the NFL, and with one of the most talented arms the league has ever seen, would be kept out of the end zone in the Super Bowl. But that happened. The Bucca...
Farewell to Pedro Gomez, a pioneer for Latinos, baseball fans, and aspiring journalists
If you’re of a certain age group — mainly if you were born in the mid to late 1990s — Gomez was probably the first Latino you saw regularly report on ESPN. By definition, the late journalism legend was a pioneer for a multicultural community that has been granted minimal access to mainstream airwave...
Don’t be stupid, Patrick Mahomes is still coming for GOAT status
Please, please, please before you bring out these “Patrick Mahomes will never be the GOAT Takes” I beg of you to really dissect the game you just watched....
There is something about Brady, I just have no idea what it is
Anyway, to the game. Over the next few days, you’ll see plenty of takes, and the term “GOAT”, which needs to be erased from our vernacular yesterday. I don’t know if Brady is the greatest. With an unimaginable seven rings and a record five Super Bowl MVPs, he’s the most decorated, that’s for sure. I...
SEE IT: Streaker makes only memorable play of Super Bowl LV
In the most exciting play of the game tonight while the Chiefs offense was on the field, a fan, who probably bet his own prop about a fan running on the field… ran on the field. The odds were +800. CBS did their best to cut away from the fan, but luckily, we have fan footage from the stands. Let’s b...
Twitter's best reactions to The Weeknd’s bizarre halftime performance
Whether you liked it or not — and the social media streets were all over the place — The Weeknd’s Super Bowl halftime performance brought the best and worst of Twitter reactions, per usual during a sporting event. ...
President Biden plans to accept Roger Goodell's offer to use NFL stadiums for mass vaccination sites
Starting tomorrow, all NFL stadiums will sit empty through the winter, spring, and summer. Why not use these large, mostly outdoor, venues for the public good? ...
Alisson kicks Premier League to Manchester City
Two and a half months ago or so, I wrote this. I certainly wasn’t the only one, and perhaps I let my red-colored view of the world get the better of me just a touch as well. While Pep Guardiola was coming under more fire than he ever had while in charge of Manchester City, possibly at any of his sto...

Give Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl all the ice baths and chocolate milk
The “Battle Of Alberta,” the rivalry between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames, has lacked a little something for a long while now. Which is a little weird to say about one of the league’s most bitter rivalries, as the two were the league’s best teams in the 80s and contesting playoff series th...
The Super spread: Deadspin’s Super Bowl pick ATS
Tampa Bay isn’t a home team because they get to play in their home stadium. The league alternates home and away teams by conference every year. Honestly, Tampa just got lucky. Speaking of coincidences, the Bucs will not be the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home market. And with only a thi...
A Super NFL recap of who won what and who’s headed for Canton
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, the culmination of a lot of work put in by… us, the Deadspin staff. Seriously, go read up, my teammates here did a hell of a job the past couple of weeks. The game tonight is the biggest thing in the sports world, but Saturday was really busy, with the NFL awards and Pro Foot...

Stop the seasons now and let’s get sports right
We learned this week that the Biden administration wants the start of baseball season to be delayed, a desire that at this point stands to go unfulfilled because the Major League Baseball Players Association is not willing to let ownership link such a delay with a reopening of their collective barga...

Kevin Durant debacle shows NBA’s COVID policy is a disaster
