Carlos Gomez Is A Good Buddy Who Will Leave You Some Gum
Sometimes I forget how much I enjoy Carlos Gomez, who is always down to start some shit on the field or give a hilarious quote off of it, and then he goes and does something like this:...
Helen Mirren Reads "Where The Sidewalk Ends" In Awesome Fox Promo
Fox’s Women’s World Cup coverage has been hit or miss, but this intro featuring Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren reading Shel Silverstein’s “Where the Sidewalk Ends” is simply outstanding. That’s Explosions In The Sky’s “Your Hand In Mine” as the music bed....
Conor McGregor Has As Much Sex As Possible, Would "Dismantle" Mayweather
While Conor McGregor’s scheduled bout against Jose Aldo next Saturday is off the table, McGregor still made an appearance on Conan last night in preparation for his new opponent Chad Mendes. And McGregor had plenty to say, including that he has “as much sex as possible” before big fights and that we...
Predictably, In Just 24 Hours, The Kings' Plans Have Gone Awry
Yesterday the Sacramento Kings made a bad trade. For the privilege of giving away two marginally useful players and thus opening up an additional $13 million in salary cap space, they had to trade to the 76ers last season’s first-round draft pick, a top-ten protected 2018 first-round draft pick, and...
Who Is Russell Westbrook Side-Eyeing Here?
Yesterday, between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. EDT, Russell Westbrook disapproved of something, or multiple somethings. Since there is no other NBA news to speak of, and especially since there is nothing miserable or at all depressing happening in New York, let’s use this downtime to figure out who cros...
Tennis Player CoCo Vandeweghe Thinks Carmelo Anthony Is Soft As Hell
I have no idea why pro tennis player CoCo Vandeweghe was asked for her opinion on Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks, other than the fact that her uncle is former NBA player and GM Kiki Vandeweghe, but I sure am glad it happened. ...
11 Good Things About Budweiser
Handsome and tasteful beer aficionados like ourselves rarely have nice things to say about Budweiser, for the very good reason that it sucks. However! Even sucky beer is pretty good. (Unless you’re talking about Heineken, and why would you?) Plus, qualitative sins of the flagship product aside, Anhe...
Larry Bird And The Pacers Don't Look Great In This David West Interview
David West surprised just about everybody when he opted out of the final year and $12.5 million left on his contract with the Indiana Pacers. Tonight he had an extensive sit-down with longtime Pacers reporter Bob Kravitz, and the upshot of the interview is that the Pacers organization is a low-rent ...
Chris Christie Blew $82,594 With MetLife Vendor But Can't Find Receipts
This started with an easy question. How did Chris Christie blow more than $80,000 in less than two years on concessions at MetLife Stadium?...
Sweaty Gronk Freestyles At Bar, Gets The Boot
If you had one shot or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it, or just let it slip? Perspiring colossus Rob Gronkowski let it slip, at a Georgia bar over the weekend....
Will Middlebrooks Injured By Stray Bat While Attempting To Catch Foul
Padres third baseman Will Middlebrooks left today’s game against the Diamondbacks in the seventh inning after his attempt to field a Cliff Pennington pop foul was interrupted by a abandoned bat in the on-deck circle....
US Track & Field Championships Simmering Til Done
Eugene, Ore., where the USA Track & Field National Championship is underway, is gripped in a heat wave. The steamy conditions produce a nice muscle-loosening affect on athletes whose events last less than 60 seconds, but it’s been less accommodating for the distance events. The preliminary rounds of...
A Lovely Saison For The Red Clapboard Farmhouse Of Your Dreams
Dear Drunkspin,...
Tanzania's Goat Races Are Decadent And Depraved
Slumgoat Millionaire lost his first race at the Dar es Salaam Charity Goat Races. While the “owners” (sponsors, really) were standing in the corral at the center of the small racetrack, one of the MCs asked Slumgoat’s patron if he knew the rules....
Teenaged Red Sox Fan Somehow Not Garbage
Three things that are shit: Teenagers, Red Sox fans, and the city of Boston, a trash town that belongs in the dumpster. So I’m not entirely sure what to make of this:...
Totally Agenda-less Sources: Tom Brady Is A Really Great Guy
In a 10-hour hearing at NFL headquarters yesterday, Tom Brady defended himself against accusations he was involved in Ballghazi and appealed his four-game suspension. If we are to believe ESPN’s sources, who certainly have no motivation other than disseminating god’s truth, Brady was so good, his su...
Co-Ed Softball Team's Pro-Style Instagram Account Is My Favorite Thing
I would like you to meet the Stinkmitts, a beer-league softball team from Toronto that really understands how to get the most out of social media. Throughout the 2015 season, which the Stinkmitts appear to be dominating, the team has been running its Instagram account as if it was in the big leagues...
A Summer Beer Trend Worth Chasing
We here at Deadspin are not a trendy lot. We prefer to honor the timeless beauty of the classics instead of mindlessly following this or that faulty prophet with his new hop-bursting techniques or euphemisms for “replacing half of your beer with powdered lemonade.” Plus, we don’t always learn so goo...
A Healthy Way To Build A Hangover
We here at Drunkspin freely concede that beer is the very best goddamn thing in the world, better than gin, softball, and naps combined. Yet for as much as we love beer, we sometimes fail to lead the cheers loudly enough to satisfy the sunnier members of the Craft Beer Movement™, who take exception ...
