Some people are fans of the St. Louis Rams. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the St. Louis Rams. This 2013 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the 2013 NFL previews so far right here. Your team: St. Louis Rams Your 2012 record: 7-8-1. Congrats on your finest season since 2006, Rams fans. The Rams haven't had a winning season in a decade. I remember when Tim McDonald played for the 49ers a long time ago. After they handed the Rams a particularly stern asswhipping, McDonald said in the locker room afterward: "Same Niners. Same Rams." It was an absolutely withering putdown. And even though the Niners were bafflingly incapable of beating St. Louis last season, I always think about that McDonald quote whenever the Rams sink bac…
For years, every time he went to the free throw line, Jason Kidd has blown a kiss into the air as a symbol of his love for his wife. Now that the marriage is over, though, Kidd is apparently sending the kisses somewhere that he feels needs the love a little more … his own asshole. Romantic guy, that Jason Kidd.

data-mm-id=”_vtsulk3mw”>Athletes are just as bored as the rest of us, and a few have decided to fill their time by jumping on studio shows that currently represent our only sports-centric escape from reality. Cam Heyward did just that on Thursday, appearing on First Things First to explain why the 2011 NFL Draft is one of the best of all time. With the caveat that Heyward is inherently biased as a member of that class, he broke down his argument to Nick Wright. "I'm biased, b/c I'm part of the 2011 draft, but I definitely think it's one of the best drafts ever. We had 12 D-linemen in the 1st round & then you look at the guys who weren't in the first round — Jurrell Casey or Richard Sherman. Richard is a HOFer in my book." — @CamHeyward pic.twitter…
data-mm-id=”_7wfikugc1″>Anthony Davis' talent has been apparent since he entered the league in 2012. It became only more so as he grew into his body and became one of the most dominant two-way players in the game [when healthy]. But, thanks to a combination of front office incompetence and untimely injuries to both Davis and his most important teammates, playoff success has been severely lacking for a player many consider to be top five in the NBA. His trade to the Los Angeles Lakers was mainly to fill that gap in his resume. The quest for playoff success was put on hold along with the rest of the NBA season back in March. Now, though, we've finally arrived at the moment we've eagerly awaited for months: real basketball games that count. Tonight, the Lakers will face off…
data-mm-id=”_vkk7d6y4t”>Bryce Harper made a smart financial decision when he signed the biggest contract he was offered as a free agent two offseasons ago. Everything else baseball-wise has sucked for Harper since signing that 13-year, $330 million contract in 2019, but at least he's got the money to soothe his ego because things look like they'll get worse for Bryce before they get better. Last week, a story emerged that the Phillies wouldn't be able to re-sign star free agent catcher J.T. Realmuto because of the monetary losses the team suffered during this past pandemic-impacted season. The Phillies traded for Realmuto before signing Harper as part of their effort to build a championship-contending team. But with their reported financial shortfall preventing them from…
data-mm-id=”_vg5xvsx34″>Pickleball is everywhere. People love to play pickleball. Courts are popping up everywhere as unused real estate is repurposed and everyone you know has their own paddle. Including Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone, who will be coaching the rest of his team's second round series against the Phoenix Suns with a battle scar on his forehead that looks like something that would be on Nikola Jokic's arms.Pickleball paddle to the face! pic.twitter.com/i1cA3BcT3N— J.E. Skeets (@jeskeets) May 2, 2023This is not just some random thing for Malone. He's been into the sport for a while now.
