Image: AP The Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers have been the NFC’s two-headed monsters all season. For the majority of this season, they’ve been the kaijus of the conference. However, the bigger they are, the harder the fall — and one of these behemoths has to end the weekend with a gaping hole in […]

Jeff SaturdayImage: AP I like to say that we over here at Deadspin started the unofficial petition to prevent Jeff Saturday from becoming the next full-time head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. The backlash to Saturday getting the nod over many qualified candidates who have —get this — coached football before, was so large that […]

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh has confirmed a poorly kept secret regarding his quarterback situation following the hiring of Nathaniel Hackett as the team’s new offensive coordinator.  “The quarterback position obviously with all the different interviews was the number one concern,” Saleh told reporters on Thursday about choosing Hackett, as shared by Reice […]

On Thursday, the Carolina Panthers passed on interim coach Steve Wilks, instead hiring former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich for the same role.  As the Panthers’ coaching search concluded, a ludicrous notion began to spread that Carolina would like to have Wilks and Reich on the same staff in a perfect world. According to […]

Even at age 38, LeBron James continues accomplishing things NBA fans haven’t seen before. Tuesday night, in a loss to the crosstown-rival Los Angeles Clippers, LeBron put up 46 points. In doing so, he became the first player in league history to have a 40-point game against every team. After the game, it wasn’t LeBron’s […]

Cynical dickheadPhoto: Getty Images Power Slap: Road to the Title is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. The new “hit” show on TBS that airs at the coveted 10 p.m. ET time slot on Wednesdays is so bad that it puts viewers in the shoes of the participants, because you feel like you’re getting a […]

The New York Knicks might have put up their signature win of the 2022-23 season on the road against the reigning Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics Thursday night. New York was on the verge of blowing another fourth-quarter lead. Tom Thibodeau’s squad found itself up 106-94 with under five minutes left. All-Star starter Jayson Tatum […]

This weekend, when teams hit the field for the AFC and NFC Conference Championships, the four remaining starting quarterbacks will make the NFL’s record books for a stat they can’t control.  On Sunday, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, and Brock Purdy will become only the second group of quarterbacks to play in the conference […]

Nathaniel HackettImage: AP The 2023 New York Jets are going to have a different quarterback than they did in 2022. I’m not a fan of the team, but even I’d be damned if the Jets opted to compete for an AFC East title with Joe Flacco, Mike White, or Zach Wilson again next year. Luckily, […]

The NBA announced the starters for this year’s All-Star Game, led by many familiar names. LeBron James is starting his record 19th straight All-Star Game, which ties Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most All-Star appearances in history. Looks like James isn’t just chasing Kareem for the all-time points record. Team LeBron has won all five All-Star […]
