How To Order Delivery Without Feeling Like Shit, You Lazy Bum
Sometimes, after a long, soul-crushing day at work (or when you’re staring down an impossible hangover), the last thing you want to do is cook. You’d much rather fire up Seamless and order from your favorite local restaurant, where someone else will prepare the greasy food you think will make you fe...
What's Wrong With The Warriors? Nothing, Chill The Hell Out.
The Warriors are plenty easy to dislike. There’s Draymond. There’s the techno-libertarian scum that’s (unfairly) come to represent them. There are the moving screens. There’s Kevin Draper. There’s all the winning, which, in an NBA postseason that really hasn’t had more than a handful of entertaining...
The Cavs Knocked The Stuffing Out Of The Warriors, And We Got Ourselves A Series
The most spectacular play LeBron James made tonight was his pogo-stick leap up to grab a stray Kyrie Irving alley-oop, but if there’s one particular play that embodied the overwhelming beatdown the Cavaliers administered upon the heads of the Warriors, it was one that didn’t even count. Towards the ...
LeBron Jumped To The Moon To Slam This Alley-Oop Home
LeBron scrambled to his knees to recover this ball and ping it to Kyrie Irving, who tossed this alley-oop about three feet too high. Most humans (hell, most NBA players) wouldn’t be able to ascend, grab the wayward pass, and slam it violently into the hoop, but LeBron had no problem at all with it....
The Broncos Can't Lock Up Von Miller, And It's All The Giants' Fault
The Broncos slapped a $14.1 million franchise tag on star linebacker Von Miller this offseason, but were hoping to get him signed to a long-term deal before today’s team-imposed deadline. Talks between the two sides have broken off, though, and the Broncos are probably very, very mad at the New York...
A Lot Of People Were Happy To See Yordano Ventura Get Thumped
I can’t recall a player or a team being so unrepentant—so proud—of a bench-clearing brawl as Manny Machado and the Orioles were of Machado charging the mound and delivering a haymaker/DDT combo. But then, I can’t recall a player that so many around baseball have wanted to see take a punch to the fac...
Manny Machado Charges The Mound, Lights Up Yordano Ventura
After throwing at him earlier in the game, Yordano Ventura plunked Manny Machado in the fifth inning, prompting Machado to quickly remove his helmet, limp to the mound, and light into Ventura. It looks like he landed a decent string of punches before he got pulled off the Royals pitcher....
Matt Murray Is The Man
One win away from a Stanley Cup, and because the Penguins are doing so many things so well, it’s become easy to underpraise the player who might’ve done more than anyone to get them here....
Hey, I Think The Sharks Are Boned
We’ve talked about the Penguins’ depth, constructed through signings and trades and able to carry the load on nights the top lines don’t have it. We’ve talked about one of those scoring lines, even before Phil Kessel emerged as a potential Conn Smythe candidate. We’ve done plenty of talking about Si...
Sidney Crosby Is The Anti-Steeler
It started as a joke here at Deadspin, when Drew Magary called the Penguins the Ice Steelers. Naturally, I decided that it actually was the perfect name for my favorite hockey team and proceeded to only ever refer to them by that, modifying it slightly to fit with traditional Pittsburgh-ese to “Ice ...
Finnish TV Announcer Goes Nuts Over Joonas Donskoi's Overtime-Winning Game 3 Goal
“JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS DONNNNNNNNNNNSKOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!”...
Joonas Donskoi OT Goal Wins Game 3 For Sharks, Gives Us A Series
For awhile there, it looked like Pittsburgh wasn’t going to lose another game; the Penguins had become a completely different team somewhere around the midway point of their Game 5 loss to Tampa Bay. Thankfully (for neutral hockey fans, at least) San Jose found a goal when it counted, courtesy a Fin...
Should Intent Matter When A Lousy Player Whacks A Guy In The Dick And Balls?
For my money, the strangest moment of last night’s lopsided NBA Finals Game 1 came just after Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova whacked Warriors forward Andre Iguodala in the dick and balls....
The Warriors Didn't Even Need Their Stars To Wallop The Cavs
Here’s how thorough the whooping the Warriors bench put on the Cavaliers in tonight’s 104-89 beatdown was: Shaun Livingston got a curtain call; the Cavs’ best highlight was a nutshot; Brandon Rush and Timofey Mozgov played; Golden State’s bench outscored Cleveland’s 45-5 before a brief garbage time ...
Matthew Dellavedova Thumps Andre Iguodala In The Dick And Balls
Earlier today, we had Matthew Dellavedova atop our rankings of the most hateable players in the NBA Finals, and he lived up to his billing in short order, striking the first blow against an opponent’s dick and balls. The victim? Andre Iguodala....
Donald Trump Doesn't Know Shit About The Bay Area
Vulgar olive loaf Donald Trump is hitting the campaign trail in California in advance of the state’s June 7 primary. A good way to appeal to your constituents is to show that you’re “one of them” by feigning nominal interest in their sports teams. If you do this, though, you should have a working se...
Whatever Happens, Anderson Varejão Is Going To Be A Dude With A Championship Ring
The Warriors are a ruthlessly efficient team run by a fiery, undersized center who will take out his anger on your dick and balls and a teeny-tiny point guard who carries himself with a non-insistent swagger, and they’re owned by a techno-libertarian pug who named his dogs after Ayn Rand characters....
An Extremely Helpful NBA Finals Preview For Basketball Morons
Hello, casual basketball viewer! The NBA Finals begin tonight, pitting LeBron James’s Cleveland Cavaliers against Ayn Rand’s Golden State Warriors in a rematch of last season’s Finals, which the Warriors won in six games. Here’s what to expect, what to look for, and what to pretend to know about eac...
