No homers here, as Mets booth calls BS on team's HBP walk-off win

The Mets broadcast crew of Gary Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez are the very best at what they do....

Moving All-Star Game out of Georgia is surprisingly right move by MLB

Major League Baseball is not generally an organization that you’d think of as progressive, but Rob Manfred made a big move on Friday, stripping this year’s All-Star Game (something Rob Parker called for Deadspin on Monday) and draft from Atlanta in protest of the state of Georgia’s new voting rights...

Dodgers fans buy billboard outside Fenway to taunt... someone

I wouldn’t sit here and try to argue that Red Sox Nation is undeserving of being kicked while they’re down. They’ve had it their way for a very long time, though they would say they didn’t have it their way for a much longer period of time. And obviously, there isn’t anyone they didn’t annoy even ju...

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...

With No Games To Watch, SportsNet LA Punks Dodger Fans By Finally Reaching Deal With DirecTV & AT&T U-verse

Six years after it launched as Time Warner Cable Sportsnet, and four years since it changed its name to Spectrum SportsNet LA, the channel that broadcasts Dodgers games is finally available to DirecTV and AT&T U-verse customers, just in time for fans to be able to… not watch the Dodgers....

Sweden Defeat England For Women's World Cup Bronze As VAR Disallows Ellen White Goal For Second Straight Game

Two early goals were enough for Sweden to defeat England for third place at the Women’s World Cup on Saturday. Both teams began applying immediate pressure early and often, but it was ultimately Kosovare Asllani who broke through for the Swedes in the eleventh minute after a poor English clearance b...

The John Smoltz Urban Legend That Was Too Good To Check

John Smoltz is, at this point in his second career as a color commentator, not really that good at the job. He understands the game well, but he’s also drowsy and grouchy in all the ways that old ballplayers tend to be: checked out and skeptical and reflexively salty about today’s players, grumpily ...

Why An Ex-Jets Great Wants Nothing To Do With The Jets

Excerpted from Beyond Broadway Joe: The Super Bowl TEAM That Changed Football, now available from Dey Street Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers....

This Is The Stupidest Shit On The Entire Internet

A few weeks ago, I learned about a dystopian gathering called OzyFest where people paid real American dollars to gaze longingly at thinkfluencers and hear soup-brained psychopaths like Karl Rove host panels. The Silicon Valley–funded Ozy—which is somehow not an incisive performance art piece about o...

England Coming Home, Won't Bring Football With Them

The bracket was on their side, the memes were on their side, and even the sport, a creation of their very own, appeared to be in favor of the Brits. Unfortunately for them, football won’t be coming home, because Croatia beat England in their World Cup semifinal today by a score of 2-1....

NESN Suspends Anchor For Unleashing Stream Of Insults At Woman Who Told Him No [Updated]

Alyssa Labrie first posted on Facebook privately over the weekend, saying New England Sports Network anchor Marc James exploded at her in a string of angry text messages after she said she didn’t want to get drinks with him. Labrie told me that after she heard from people saying it needed to be kno...

Darren Baker, Once Nearly World Series Roadkill, Was Drafted By The Nationals

Darren Baker, the son of Nationals skipper Dusty Baker and probably best known for almost being trampled at home plate during the 2002 World Series, was selected by the Nationals on Wednesday in the 27th round of the MLB Draft. We’re all so very old....

A Lot Happening At The Ballparks Today

I Don't Think I Can Deal With Jim Harbaugh In Slim-Fit Khakis

The only thing Jim Harbaugh loves as much as football, Twitter, baseball dust, milk, and his bitchin’ mitt is a fresh pair of khaki pants. For years, Harbaugh has worn ill-fitting but absurdly cheap khakis, because luxury only serves to dull one’s taste for victory. It’s a little jarring, then, to s...

Sixers Broadcast Roughly As Dysfunctional As Sixers Team

A power blip in Philadelphia tonight left Comcast SportsNet a bit baffled as hosts blathered amongst themselves about what was happening, going almost a full minute before realizing that they were live on the air—teaching us all that The Process is not automated....

Newt Gingrich Is In A Dark Place<em></em>
