Let Us Now Praise The Patriots' Super Bowl Defense
Much of the blame for the Falcons’ monumental choke job in Super Bowl 51 fell on Kyle Shanahan for his aggressive play-calling, and that’s fair. It’s screamingly obvious Atlanta should have run the ball more or milked the clock to keep Tom Brady and the Patriots from even having a chance to storm al...
Mic'd-Up Julian Edelman Argued With Falcons Defender Over Whether He Caught That Ball
Even after all the replays and photos, it’s still hard to believe that Julian Edelman made that catch....
Austrian TV's Super Bowl Highlight Reel Is Much Better Than Anything Fox Produced
Super Bowl LI was an incredible game that featured a historic comeback and two of the greatest catches in Super Bowl history. But you might not get a sense of how bonkers the Patriots’ unholy comeback was from watching the limp highlight reel that FOX played at the end of the game. If you want the g...
Michael Floyd Overcomes DUI Arrest To Become A Super Bowl Champion
There are many different paths a player can take to get to a Super Bowl victory. Some, like Malcolm Butler and Tom Brady, start out as unknowns but turn into essential components. Others, such as Dont’a Hightower and Devin McCourty, come with expectations around them, which they fulfill. Michael Flo...
Gronk Goes Shirtless At Parade, Chugs Beers, Laughs At The Number 69
Rob Gronkowski, who gained his powers after he was accidentally left behind during a government test of a nuclear sacktap, missed the Patriots’ Super Bowl run with a back injury, but he was in attendance for the championship parade in Boston today. The tight end played his greatest hits....
Bill Belichick Is Fired Up About Labor
The Patriots’ Super Bowl parade is today, and head coach Bill Belichick attempted to fire up the crowd with a spirited chant. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to receive a pep talk about the virtues of year-round work from a Google Home, you now have your answer:...
Wait, Did You Realize Lady Gaga's Rooftop Bit Was Prerecorded?
Yeah yeah, you knew all along. Whatever, I’ll self-own with this post, I’ve already taken nothing but Ls over the last year....
Julio Jones Did What He Could
Julian Edelman made a ludicrous catch last night, going to the ground to keep the ball while being tackled by three Falcons defenders, but he wasn’t the only receiver on the field making impossible catches when his team needed them most....
Martellus Bennett's Daughter Is Moving Up The Sports Baby Rankings
Riley Curry and T.J. Smith might be feeling comfortable at the top of the sports baby hierarchy but Jett Bennett, Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett’s daughter, laid down the foundation for her campaign after New England’s Super Bowl win last night....
Donald Trump Is The Ultimate Frontrunner
On top of everything else, Donald Trump is the scummiest kind of sports fan. The Patriots were losing 28-3 in the third quarter when he ditched his Super Bowl watch party in Florida:...
Gisele Was The Only Good Fan
Think back to last night’s broadcast: Did you see many crowd shots that didn’t focus on celebrities? Did you see any? You did not, and you never do at the Super Bowl, because the NFL allocates the vast majority of tickets to corporate sponsors. There just aren’t that many actual fans of either team ...
Someone Seems To Have Stolen Tom Brady's Super Bowl Jersey
We have an honest-to-God post-Super Bowl mystery on our hands, and I am elated. You see, Tom Brady doesn’t know what happened to his game jersey:...
No One Is Happy For The Patriots<em></em>
Let’s start with the obvious, which is that (gun to head) the Patriots are the greatest dynasty in NFL history. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach in history. Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback in history, with last night being the definitive instance of him performing football miracles with li...
A Timeline Of Proposed Super Bowl 51 Headlines From Last Night
The Deadspin staff convened in our staff chatroom last night to discuss and coordinate our coverage of Super Bowl 51 while we all watched it from our various homes and/or Super Bowl parties. As the game unfolded, staffers suggested various headlines for our postgame story; I’ve compiled them into a ...
The Patriots Have Their Revenge
Before last night, the last time Roger Goodell and Tom Brady were in the same building—as far as we know—was in a federal courthouse in downtown Manhattan in August 2015, each seated and silent, flanked by attorneys....
What The Hell Was Kyle Shanahan Thinking?
You’ve watched enough football games to understand what’s supposed to happen when a team is up 28-12 and has the ball with 9:40 left to play. They run the ball as much as they can, they squeeze every second out of the game clock, and they win the goddamn game....
David Ortiz Was Super Pumped About The Patriots' Win
Adopted Bostonian David Ortiz, who knows a little something about improbable comebacks, watched last night’s Super Bowl miracle at home with his family, most likely going from cautiously excited to devastated to deliriously happy like all Patriots fans over the course of the evening. He gave us a gl...
Julian Edelman Caught That Somehow
So, there it is, right there in the above photo. One inch, maybe two, between football and turf? Some barely countable fraction of a second that felt like it took forever as the ball hung, seemingly unmoored from gravity, precisely long enough for Julian Edelman to double-clutch. An instantly iconic...
