Why Can't Golf Always Be Like This?
I’m not one of those snot-nosed shits who will say stuff like, “Golf? Bleehhhhhh. Golf is so boooooring!” while doing a sick ollie. I like watching golf! It’s a perfectly pleasant way to pass a Sunday. Having said that, I was riveted by the video above, and now wish golf was always played like this....
Here, Have Five Solid Minutes Of Warriors Highlights
I’m going to be honest, before I clicked play on this video I thought to myself, “Man, I’ve spent the whole dang season watching Warriors highlights. I’m going to get bored with this in under 30 seconds.” Then I ended up watching the whole thing from start to finish....
Get A Load Of This Young Soccer Boy Just Savaging People On The Pitch
I know absolutely nothing about this video or this kid, other than that this child of unknown origin has a taste for snatching the souls of his opponents with his incredible skills and that he needs to get onto the USMNT ASAP:...
Alcides Escobar Made One Hell Of A Double Play
Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar can do a lot of cool things in the field, and last night he turned in his first stunner of this season....
This Pitch Was So Bad That Adrian Beltre Had To Call Time To Laugh At It
Chris Tillman had a rough night. The Orioles pulled him after he gave up 6 runs in 5.1 innings of work. That’s nothing to be ashamed of, the Rangers can really hit and they’re in their home ballpark. However this pitch to Adrian Beltre is flat embarrassing....
Brett Gardner Tumbles Butt First Into The Stands To Catch A Foul Ball
The Yankees wrap up a three-game series in Toronto tonight, and they got their second out of the night with a fair bit of pizazz, as Brett Gardner went ass-over-teakettle to make this grab here....
Trust Me, This Is A Cool Ultimate Frisbee Highlight
We’ve run a scant few ultimate frisbee blogs in the past few years here at Deadspin, but finally, our long national drought is over because the Philadelphia Spinners pulled off a truly dope frisbee play this week....
Francisco Lindor Won't Let The Rays' Catwalks Get Him Down
The Tampa Bay Rays still have dumb catwalks at the top of their dumb stadium, and they still occasionally wreak havoc on high fly balls. During last night’s game against the Indians, one catwalk prevented shortstop Francisco Lindor from catching a foul ball with two outs in the ninth inning. ...
Noble Strongman Trevor Story Undone By His Own Dumb Stadium
The Colorado Rockies will try anything to not suck. They paid Mike Hampton something like a billion dollars, stuck their baseballs in a dang humidor, and even appealed to Jesus Christ. This year, they decided to try something new, and made the right-field fence about twice as high as it used to be. ...
Korean Announcers Lose Their Shit Over Dae-Ho Lee's 10th-Inning Walk-Off Dinger
The Mariners stopped their five-game skid in the most emphatic way possible: by walking off the winners after a big ole’ dinger in the tenth inning against a division rival. You can watch the official MLB version of Dae-Ho Lee’s home run against the Rangers if you want, but we recommend these Korean...
Both Of J.J. Hardy's Dingers Were Teeny-Tiny Baby Dingers
The Orioles are knocking the stuffing out of the ball this year, and they remain the only undefeated team in Major League Baseball after today’s 9-5 comeback win over the Red Sox. Today’s hero was shortstop J.J. Hardy, who knocked in five runs and whacked two dingers....
Yasiel Puig's Got Moves On The Basepath
The Dodgers opened up Dodger Stadium for the season with a 4-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks and their weird new road uniforms (Rob Lowe is not a fan). L.A. had a slim lead for most of the game but Arizona came back at the end and scored all their runs after Kenta Maeda sat down. Yasiel Puig did,...
The Wizards Were Embarrassing Failures This Season, Thank God
If 2015-16 hasn’t quite been a disaster for the Washington Wizards—nobody pulled a loaded gun on a teammate in the locker room, so far as I know—it certainly has been a complete waste. They were supposed to be one of the East’s better teams; instead they are shitty, often embarrassingly so, and will...
Mike Trout Can Dunk And Shoot
A few Angels players went to the Golden State Warriors’ practice today, and the world learned that Mike Trout can do more than just mash taters (he’s still really, really good at that, by the way). Trout can also ball a little bit....
The Nets' Season Highlight Video Is Just This Play, Over And Over
It is, to be fair, impressive that falling behind 20-0 was not the Nets at their most woebegone last night. That honor belongs to the help defense on this JJ Hickson dunk, a true team effort:...
The Other Curry Can Do Cool Basketball Shit Too
Tonight, the Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Su—oh, who gives a shit? Both Pacific Division trashcans are in the midst of a tank-off and the Kings coaching staff didn’t even know that Boogie Cousins wasn’t playing until they couldn’t find him on the plane....
Bryce Harper Is Hungry For Gloves, Bases
Mmmm. Mmmmm. Love the taste of my glove. MMMM....
Boy, They Sure Killed The Shit Out Of Some Racehorses In England This Week
The Grand National in Liverpool, England, is a horse racing institution nearly 200 years in the making, full of pageantry, glitz, drama, and horses getting killed. That tradition continued this week, when the fortuitously named 33-to-1 shot Rule The World emerged triumphal in the featured race—“a fa...
Now Davis Love III Has Hit A Hole-In-One
Holes-in-one for everyone! Moments after Shane Lowry’s eight-iron tee shot found the hole, veteran Davis Love III repeated the trick using a seven-iron. Who needs guys named Spieth or McIlroy?...
Beer League Soccer Guy Scores Incredible Golazo
Warren Byrne plays for South Shields in the tenth division of English soccer. He scored a goal yesterday against Tow Law Town that belongs amongst FIFA’s Puskás Award nominees:...
