AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! There goes my productivity for the next forever. Sorry boss, I can't work right now I have to play Contra on my phone

Contra is still to this day my favorite game of all time, and I highly doubt that will ever change. I'm pretty sure that it's physically impossible to beat it on single player without either the 30 life cheat or a game genie, but I think it's actually feasible to beat it without cheating on multi-player. No easy…

The NFL will do its own independent research and find that there is no such thing as a "concussion" or a "traumatic brain injury" so get back on the field you pussy

As someone who has played and coached lacrosse for nearly my entire life, I can confirm that it is indeed accurate

The problem is that (and my one example is absolutely not unique in this respect) when it comes to this subject, fandom trumps logic and reasoning. It doesn't help that, as guys in our late 20's / very early 30's, we're too young to actually remember the fact that the Redskins had to be dragged kicking and screaming…

I truly do not understand people who continue to defend the use of an outright racial slur as a team name. One of my best friends is a Washington native and as progressive as it comes on pretty much every other issue, but he's so blinded by his fandom that he still defends the Redskins name as "not that bad" and…

Wait wait wait wait wait. Whatever happened to "you're white, you're white, you don't fight"?!?!?!? Are you saying Kevin Hart lied to me? I, I don't even know what to think anymore

Why would there have ever been any chance of Cole being suspended? I'm certainly not suggesting that he should have been, so I'm not disagreeing with your point there. He didn't break any written rules. That's not my point, my point is that Cole was being a pathetic whiner who should have just kept his mouth shut…

I'm not a professional referee nor do I work for the NHL in any capacity so I'm just guessing here, but based on the language of the rule I'd wager that the statute of limitations is the duration of the play in question. If the goalie is impeded and said impedance prevents him from properly defending the net when a…

It's what James Franco named his iPhone

You know what's great about both Deadspin and Puck Daddy? You can actually see who the author is of an article before clicking on the link to read it. That way, if you don't like a particular writer, you can simply ignore articles written by him instead of whining like a little baby that a major sports news outlet…

Maybe try some reading comprehension. The issue isn't the call, it's the rule. The call was correct based on the rule, it's just a poorly written rule that should be updated. Directly from the NHL's official rule book, rule 69.3:

If it isn't written it isn't a rule. Bitching about players breaking "unwritten rules" is pathetic. That's the point.

Wow. I missed that one last year. Yeah, all the dots connect

Whomever from the Mets decided that the best course of action was for Harvey to delete his entire Twitter account is likely so tech-illiterate that he/she thought that deleting the account would remove this photo's existence from the internet entirely

Though he's been the model of reform for the past few seasons now, Cooke also has a very well documented history of incredibly dirty play. Bickell has never received supplementary discipline, no suspensions not even a fine, for dirty play, so DOPS is likely giving him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't intend to…

If you watch Bickell on Sobotka and Cooke on Barrie and you see the same thing, you're watching with major blinders. They certainly share some similarities - in both cases the "offender" (Cooke / Bickell) attempts on open ice hit which the "victim" (Barrie / Sobotka) attempts to dodge and the end result is…

I don't disagree with you, but the same can be said for Cole. Dude doesn't need to be a baby about Gomez admiring his handiwork. As has been mentioned many other times in this story's comment section, if anything Cole should be thanking Gomez for being so slow out of the box because if he'd actually run hard he'd…

If you honestly think that's what Cole said, verbatim, then I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd love to sell you...

I have a million such stories because I was that kid growing up who played basically every sport before dwindling down to just a couple for high school (not that I was anything special mind you, the apex of my athletic career was being good enough to eventually be a benchwarmer on a D-III lacrosse team, just saying…
