The Dodgers’ trade deadline was better than you think
Last night, the Dodgers’ Max Scherzer threw six innings of shutout baseball to lead his team to a 4-3 win. With that victory, coupled with a Giants loss to Milwaukee, the Dodgers took sole possession of first place in the NL West....
MLB record-holder ...Robbie Ray?
An MLB record was broken last night. Toronto Blue Jays’ southpaw Robbie Ray through a seven-inning gem last night (4 H, 1 BB, 2 ER, 10 K) en route to a victory over the Baltimore Orioles. He’s now recorded three straight games with double-digit strikeouts. That’s not the record though. Of all the gr...
You done messed up, Urban
The Jaguars are not going to compete for a Super Bowl this year. They are not going to compete for a division title. They are not going to compete for a playoff spot. With that in mind, all that should matter in Urban Meyer’s first season as head coach, is developing his rookie quarterback, Trevor L...
Tua Tagovailoa is at the center of two stupid things, and neither are his fault
Last season, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa became the first left-handed quarterback in the NFL to throw a pass in a regular-season game in several years. It became noticeable since the former national champion at Alabama followed a once semi-trend established and carried on by guys like ...

The Giants just won’t die
For everyone who isn’t a child of Will Clark or Jason Schmidt, watching the Giants hold off the Dodgers in the NL West has been something like watching one of those nature videos of a lion stalking a wounded antelope. It’s not a question of if or when. It’s going to happen....
When the smoke clears, it’ll be WFT in the NFC East
This season there should be zero roadblocks standing in the Washington Football Team’s way in the NFC East. Yes, that includes the Dallas Cowboys, who have been picked by many to win the division and contend for the Super Bowl. Okay, we’ll see about that....
Let the complaining begin: NBA 2K ratings released
A tradition unlike any other. NBA 2K video game ratings begin to trickle out this time every year slowly and on schedule; players are not happy about their ratings and aren’t afraid to tell us about it....

Deadspin wins you money*: Slam that over on the Carolina Panthers

Nice record you broke there — be a shame if I broke it by more
In 1983, Edwin Moses broke his own world record in the 400-meter hurdles, blazing home in 47.02 seconds at a meet in Koblenz, Germany. The following year, Moses won his second Olympic gold medal in the event, but he never did break the 47-second barrier — that didn’t happen until Kevin Young ran a...
NBA Free Agency doesn’t wait around
We always expect the dawn of NBA free agency to be on the bonkers side, and yet are always surprised with how bonkers it gets. With the offseason once again crunched as the league desperately claws back an 82-game season from players who will barely be able to stand at the end of it, teams are proba...
Milwaukee’s Peralta: 2021 NL Cy Young winner? (Don't tell me you just said, 'What?!')
Well, this trade deadline was crazy. The Dodgers continue to throw insane amounts of money at every problem they have. The Yankees teased the Red Sox by picking up Anthony Rizzo. So, why don’t we just take a small step back from all the trade talk and talk instead about someone who’s not getting nea...
LOL JK Padres, no Max Scherzer for you
Hey, so, cool story. Remember that one time I wrote about how Max Scherzer was totally going to the San Diego Padres like five hours ago? Also, unrelated — have you ever seen “Elf” with Will Ferrell? Well, if you have (or if you haven’t, whatever), there’s a scene where Buddy the Elf, played by Ferr...
