It's Impossible To Oversell How Dumb This Adam Eaton–Todd Frazier Beef Has Gotten
The 2016 White Sox were historically blighted. That was the team where Chris Sale was suspended for insubordination after literally cutting up throwback uniforms during batting practice before a start so he wouldn’t have to wear one. That was the team that nearly underwent a mutiny and then a counte...
Figure Skater Says Former Partner John Coughlin Sexually Abused Her For Years

Deontay Wilder's Devastating Right Hand Gave Him A First-Round Knockout Against Dominic Breazeale
Let’s start with the good news: Deontay Wilder did not end up killing Dominic Breazeale in their heavyweight bout on Saturday. But that’s where the positive takeaways from the fight end for Breazeale (20-2, 18 KOs). Just 2:17 into the first round, the Bronze Bomber landed a ferocious right hand on h...
Alex Rodriguez And His Lawyers Very Much Don't Want Anyone To See A Photo Of Him On The Toilet
There’s a photo of ESPN baseball analyst and former New York Yankees pariah Alex Rodriguez using a bathroom for its intended purpose. The picture was snapped from the building adjacent to A-Rod as he sat on the toilet, but there’s nothing explicit about it. The only notable details are that there’s ...
We Have Exceeded The Recommended Dose Of NBA Excitement
Sometimes there are Deadcasts where Drew and I spend twenty minutes saying, like, “soup is canceled” back and forth to each other. It’s just going to happen sometimes, because even though we enjoy talking about sports and all that, there are also just many more weeks in a year than there are good sp...
Vancouver Whitecaps Goalie Pulls Off Three Spectacular Saves In A Row
If there’s one thing better than a good goalkeeper boner, it’s a goalkeeper thwarting an attacking onslaught by turning into a brick wall. Think Tim Howard at the 2014 World Cup, or David de Gea last season (before his brain broke and he became sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit)....
Robert Kraft <i>Really</i> Wants To Make Sure You Never See Video Of His Hand Job

Rockies Strike Out 24 Times, Still Manage To Beat Red Sox
Tuesday night the Colorado Rockies became the third team since 1908 to strike out at least 24 times in a major league game and also win. They did it by beating the Boston Red Sox in extra innings, 5–4, on a game-winning RBI single from Mark Reynolds, who knows a thing or two about striking out a lot...
Arcade Games, Ranked
The Deadspin staff recently moved its office to Times Square, so we’ve been absolutely dying to check out every single frothy tourist trap around us that can sell grilled chicken sandwiches for $25 a pop because it has some sort of cute gimmick. Chief among these is the big bright sports bar that bo...

The Palm Beach County judge overseeing Robert Kraft’s criminal case has said that certain pieces of evidence can be tossed.

It Is Probably Not The White Sox's Year

The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is This Masterpiece Of Humiliation
In a few short seconds, the kid defending the hoop in this clip learned a few important lessons about basketball. If you’re going to jump, really jump; if your opponent is palming the ball on you with a full head of steam, know they are trying to expose you; and finally, make sure to be aware of you...
Texas A&M Hurdler Wins SEC Title With A Daring Diving Finish
Texas A&M hurdler Infinite Tucker was losing his grip on the lead of the 400-meter hurdles at the 2019 SEC Track & Field Championships.

An Interview With A Man Who Eats Leftover Food From Strangers' Plates In Restaurants
Alex is a 43-year-old San Franciscan who works in the financial sector. He also eagerly eats uneaten and untouched leftover food off of plates if he spots it out in the open at a public dining establishment, even if it’s off a stranger’s plate. He forages in an urban setting, you might say. I called...
Josh Reddick Rips A Go-Ahead Three-Run Jack Back From The Land Of Dingers
This insane Josh Reddick catch may not have quite the stakes of Jackie Bradley Jr.’s latest ridiculous highlight, but there was plenty on the line, and anyway the catch is molto buono, my friends. Molto, molto buono. You can’t see this, but I am doing the chef’s kiss as I watch it:...

<i>Boston Globe </i>Drops Out Of The Legal Fight For The Robert Kraft Video [Update]
The Boston Globe—hometown newspaper to billionaire Robert Kraft and the NFL team he owns—is no longer among the media outlets intervening in the criminal case against him. Kraft faces two counts of misdemeanor solicitation after he was one of two dozen men charged in a Jupiter, Florida, police inves...
Horse Seeks Justice In Court
Maximum Security and his entourage of humans are not going to take his controversial Kentucky Derby disqualification lying down, even after those scoundrels down at the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission summarily denied the bay colt’s formal protest earlier this week. To a lesser horse, this would be...
Boston Radio Host Hangs Up On Carolina Hurricanes Reporter Because Of His Southern Accent
To preview the upcoming Carolina Hurricanes–Boston Bruins playoff series, Boston sports radio show Toucher & Rich had Chip Alexander, Canes beat writer for the Raleigh News and Observer, call in Wednesday to talk hockey.

These Lads Were Proper Chuffed By Tottenham's Incredible Champions League Victory
We’re all aware of what a thrilling, last-second, game-winning touchdown can do American football fans, but I submit that nothing can make a sports fan lose his or her mind quite like a stoppage-time winner in soccer. It’s such a rare thing, such an unexpected thing—you dare not even hope for it!—th...
Jackie Bradley Jr.'s Latest Insane Feat Is Robbing A Walk-Off Dong
Wednesday’s Red Sox-Orioles game was much more eventful than you might expect from a game featuring a Red Sox team climbing back from a rotten start and, well, the Orioles, who are trash. Chris Sale took a no-hitter into the sixth inning; later, after losing the no-no, Sale took out his frustration ...
