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. The NFL was apparently unswayed by late reports that he felt threatened by baseball bat-wielding Panthers players. Beckham will appeal his suspension, according to CBS Sports’ Jason L...
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...

Giants Fans Get Into A Fight In Stadium Bathroom
The Giants are getting the shit kicked out of them by the Panthers, who will almost certainly move to 13-1. Fans are apparently pissed off, and a few got into a fight in the bathroom of MetLife Stadium....
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 ...
Sixers Mascot Gets Robin Lopez A Christmas Present, Catches His Hands In Return
Franklin the dog, much like the team he represents, got walloped on by Robin Lopez last night. I can’t feel bad for ole Franklin here, when he asked for the asskicking....
Here's Your Ready-Made NFL Officiating Conspiracy Theory
In the wake of a string of very visible officiating blunders—and a perceived increase in the number of zebra screw-ups—the NFL this week announced a potentially big change to its postseason procedures, one that will expand the types of disputed calls on which officials will be allowed to consult the...
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....

Rugby Dude Gets 4 Teeth Knocked Out Of His Head, Fumbles Around For Them On Field
Thoughts I would have before I, unlike LOU’s Jérémy Gondrand, got up and started calmly looking for the four teeth that had just been smashed out of my head:...
Kid At Jets Game Enjoys Whatever's In That Bud Light Bottle
Technically, there could be anything in that beer bottle. Maybe someone rinsed it out and filled it with Fresca. All we’re doing is pointing out that it happened....
New York Giants Cut Damontre Moore After He Fought Cullen Jenkins Over Headphones
Damontre Moore is no longer a New York Giant after getting cut yesterday. Now why would the Giants cut a third-round pick in the middle of a *stifles laughter* playoff push? Well:...
Chowderhead ADs Bemoan How College Athletes Choose To Spend Their Own Money
Those in charge of college athletics attempting to exert incomparable levels of control over the athletes they barely pay is nothing new. But even by the very low standards by which athletics directors should be held, Alabama’s Bill Battle and North Carolina State’s Debbie Yow said some some dumb sh...
These Are Fully Theo Epstein's Cubs Now
It still feels weird talking about the Cubs as a team trying to acquire the last few pieces for a championship run, rather than as one that needs to rebuild from the ground up, but that’s where we are: with the reigning Cy Young winner and some of the best young hitters in the game, Chicago doesn’t ...
