Some people are fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. This 2015 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: Kansas City Chefs. GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY. Your 2014 record: 9-7. You Chiefs fans have now experienced the full portfolio of what Andy Reid has to offer. You’ve had your crushing playoff collapse. And now you’ve had your deadening, mediocre season to follow up that collapse. You’ve run the gamut. Oh, and did the Chiefs hand the 0-10 Raiders their first win of the season last year? You know they did. Life with Andy Reid means experiencing at least one utterly inexplicable loss to a horrid team every season. Your coach: OHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH! It never ge…
The New Orleans Hornets, currently owned by the NBA and soon to be owned by Saints owner Tom Benson, will select first in the 2012 NBA Draft (most likely choosing Kentucky forward Anthony Davis). The Charlotte Bobcats, which had the worst winning percenatge in NBA history this past season, will pick second, and the Washington Wizards, which one sportswriter predicted would get the top slot, will pick third. The Brooklyn Nets came up sixth, but the pick was only protected if they made the top 3, so their selection goes to Portland as part of the Gerald Wallace trade. The Cavaliers will pick fourth, after nabbing Kyrie Irving with the top pick last year. As Michael Wilbon put it shortly after the lottery: "Well, well, well. Drew Brees and the bounty hunters, the spotlight's off…
If Anna Kournikova would like to get back into competitive sports, may we suggest the Association of Volleyball Professionals Tour? That's beach volleyball, in case you didn't know; two-person teams square off on a 15-event circuit with stops from New York to California. But that's not important right now. The fact is, the AVP Tour isn't fooling anyone; it's probably a safe bet that a good majority of pro beach volleyball fans are there strictly for the, um, view. After having gone broke in 1997, pro beach volleyball is now on steady legs, with 15 tournaments this season; among them stops in New York, Chicago and just about every beach in California. And that includes Lake Tahoe (technically the MontBleu Resort and Casino on the Nevada side) this past weekend,…
data-mm-id=”_3zlx0ziqi”>Tony Romo is back on a green field, making up yardage in bunches en route to potential Sunday heroics. No, Romo hasn't accepted one of the many deals the social media general managers make him every time their favorite quarterback tallies an incompletion. Instead, Romo is partaking in the Safeway Open, a PGA Tour even in Napa, California. Romo's passion for golf has been well-documented. He has partaken in several PGA Tour events over the past few years in the wake of his retirement from NFL football in 2017. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback has yet to be a major contender in any event, but this week's competition in Napa has been very interesting. With play underway in wine country, Romo is currently even on his scorecard. In first round act…
data-mm-id=”_h31h3hh2g”>Are you in the mood for the most insane, reaching, nonsensical sports comparison ever? Are you? Seriously. If you're not, close this tab because this is an absolute doozy. It is so far out there that if you presented this take to Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman on the set of First Things First both of their heads would explode. Do you feel properly warned? Well then consider the fact that four-time career starter Zack Collins was actually close to an equal to MVP candidate Luka Doncic. Here is Former Portland Trail Blazers announcer Mike Rice on Twitter.I keep mentioning how much blazers miss Zack .He was improving & his skill level was starting to match what Doncic is doing for Mavs.— Mike Rice (@mikerice6) November 24, 2019Since it doesn't a…
data-mm-id=”_14i92p46y”>Tyson Fury's brutal domination of Deontay Wilder was consequential from each direction. It made him a champion — the heavyweight champion of the world. It was an introduction to an audience unfamiliar with today's boxing. It was a personal win years removed from suicidal thoughts and a lifestyle of drugs at 400 pounds. It was a paradigm-shifting, throwback to the golden age, face-of-the-genre victory.Fury rode into the ring on a throne as the "Gypsy King." As one of the few recognizable fighters outside of boxing circles. He walked out wearing his opponent's blood splattered over his body. Wearing titles as the king of boxing, as the heir apparent to Floyd Mayweather. Post-Mayweather, the second most well-known fighter, by default, was…
data-mm-id=”_l0ay5o0e5″>Mike Francesa is once again allowing people to post clips from his show online and a certain Twitter account has decided to post them again.After a two-week crusade to stop anyone from posting his content — mainly aimed at the Funhouse Twitter account (@BackAftaThis) — Francesa relented (but not before he laid the blame at the feet of Entercom). Initially, Funhouse claimed it wouldn't post his clips anymore even after the veteran radio host gave up his battle. That has now changed. On Wednesday, the account posted the following after asking followers if it should start posting Francesa clips again:Please read this accompanying novella. It was too long to squeeze into a tweet. pic.twitter.com/cua2Ip6Upm— Funhouse (@BackAftaThis) May 6, 2020If you can…
แม้ว่าเดือนกุมภาพันธ์กำลังจะจบลง แต่ผลงานเดบิวต์ใหม่อย่าง Helldivers ภาคใหม่ยังคงเป็นเกมที่ได้รับความนิยมต่อเนื่องและน่าจะดูท่าว่ากระแสคงไม่ตกเร็วๆ นี้ด้วย ซึ่งนอกเหนือจากการเรียกร้องให้ขยายเซิร์ฟเวอร์แล้ว หลายคนยังพบว่ามีการเดินหน้าทำแคมเปญเพื่อให้เกมได้รับการพอร์ตสู่อุปก�…
data-mm-id=”_cs6xkh0pi”>Free agent running back Devonta Freeman remains unsigned months after the start of free agency. After six seasons in Atlanta with the Falcons, Freeman proved himself to be a serviceable dual-threat back, but injuries hampered his efforts over the last two years. His stock was fairly low coming into his first free agency foray of his career. With that in mind, he seemed to be a likely candidate to sign a one-year prove-it deal, especially as a running back, a position group that doesn't exactly have the greatest leverage in today's NFL. Freeman has not read the market correctly, it would seem. On a conference call with reporters, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said Freeman's price point was too high to consider adding the former divis…
data-mm-id=”_oucp4s4vn”>It's August, and football is right around the corner. That means the end of summer is near, and it also means the newest edition of Madden has been released. This year has been strange in ways no words can describe, but Madden came out on schedule regardless. And it sucks. Again. Madden 21 has been taking a lot of heat since its release late last week for various glitches and bugs that vary in egregiousness. Some are the kind of ridiculous, "are you kidding me" moments that new video games always deal with in some way, shape, or form when it is first released. Like this. Needless to say Madden fans are generally NOT happy with this year’s edition. #MaddenNFL21 has claimed one of the lowest Metacritic user scores ever at 0.3. pic.twitter.com/j5pz…
