Just checking in to confirm what I knew when I saw this live - Deadspin staff is on top of it’s shit.

Man, they’ve really downgraded on the quality of the lake boating trips for professional athletes in Minnesota.

Just don’t ask him how hard he works as a sports personality on tv and radio. He’d have you believe he was working in a coal mine for his family.

Funny how the NFL doesn’t mind Kaepernick’s jersey and gear still up for sale:

Raul Mondesi, who played 13 years in the big leagues, has been sentenced to eight years in prison in his native Dominican Republic for political corruption... Mondesi was also forbidden from holding public office for 10 years

What do those three lonesome seasons of Eastern Conference bottom-feeding tell you about the future, if anything?

Is “a more colorful version of ‘Is that a strike too?’”  something to eject a player for?

Man. Christie waddling away with his nachos is just perfection.

The ESPY’s - god damn it.

A poor man’s Ricky Rubio? That should play great in today’s modern NBA!
