New Video Shows Confrontation Between Odell Beckham Jr. And Bat-Carrying Panthers Player
It’s hard to know what to make of Batghazi—the claims, which were released to various reporters all at the same time, hinting they came from a Giants source, that Panthers players gestured toward Odell Beckham Jr. with baseball bats before the game in which Beckham completely lost his composure. Her...

The Yankees Want To Know If Their Fans Are Down With Fire Pits
With a third straight disappointing season in the books, the Yankees are hoping to improve—on the field of course, but also off the field.

Kickboxer Gets Knocked Out, Turns Into One Of The Three Stooges
We don’t know much about when or where this video was originally filmed, nor who it depicts, but we do know that this guy’s reaction to getting knocked clean out is absolutely hysterical. If fighting doesn’t work out for him, he probably can fall back on a career in hurdling....

Have You Seen Nick Diaz's Bike?
It’s been a bad year for Nick Diaz. First the MMA great lost to Anderson Silva. Then he was suspended for five years and fined $165,000 by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for coming up positive for marijuana on a drug test. (An expert his lawyer consulted said it was “medically implausible” tha...

Italian Striker Celebrates Goal With A Nice, Refreshing Beer
Empoli’s Massimo Maccarone is really old. At 36 years old, you imagine the mere act of getting up in the morning, heading to the stadium, going through warmups, and playing a grueling match has to wear on him. So far be it from anyone to judge him for celebrating his overcoming of the odds—not only ...

Tom Coughlin Explains Why He Kept Odell Beckham Jr. In The Game
Odell Beckham Jr. should have been ejected after his helmet-to-helmet hit Josh Norman. He wasn’t, for reasons known only to the officiating crew. But he was actively hurting the Giants with penalties, and wasn’t getting anything done on the field (just one reception for three yards at the time), and...

NFL Suspends Odell Beckham Jr. One Game
Odell Beckham Jr. was suspended one game without pay for a whole bunch of personal fouls against Carolina on Sunday.

Reports: Bat-Wielding Panthers Menaced Odell Beckham Jr. During Pregame
Are you ready for the war of fists and words between Odell Beckham Jr. and the Panthers’ secondary to reach (sink to?) a new level of absurdity? Well then you are in luck, because now baseball bats are involved....

Odell Beckham Jr. Should Have Been Ejected
Despite the headline, this isn’t a hot take. I’m not trying to convince you of anything. It’s a statement of fact, really: given Beckham’s increasingly violent tantrums, culminating in a legitimately dangerous after-the-whistle hit on Josh Norman, he had absolutely no business being in that football...

OBJ And The Panthers Cornerbacks Are Staging A Boxing Match In The Middle Of A Football Game
Odell Beckham Jr.’s matchup today with Josh Norman, perhaps the best corner in the game this year, is one of the coolest one-on-one matchups we’ve seen all year. On the Giants’ fourth play from scrimmage, Beckham burned Norman, and then dropped a perfectly good touchdown. A few plays later in the qu...

Derrick Williams Blames $750K Jewelry Heist On Two Women He Took Home From A Club
After the Knicks beat the Sixers on Friday, Derrick Williams celebrated by heading to the Up & Down Club (which has only two stars on Yelp, but a lot of commenters saying they saw celebrities). According to the New York Post, after the party it’s the after party (at Williams’ house) and that’s where...

The Strange Case Of John Scott And The NHL All-Star Game
John Scott is an NHL player (well, sort of) whose most marketable skill is that he’s 6’8” and willing swing on anyone. He’s bounced around between six teams in as many years, and he’s scored five goals in his career. And yet, Scott is the leading vote-getter in NHL all-star game fan voting due to a ...

What Does This Headline Mean?
Sam Farmer wrote a column which started with the recent spate of injuries to playoff-bound NFL quarterbacks for Tuesday’s edition of the Los Angeles Times. The copy’s fine, but the headline has puzzled me and others on the Deadspin staff for a couple of days now....
