Say hello to Mr. July 2014, Aaron Hernandez. Oof. This is one of those things that seems absurd right now, but you have to remember, when it was actually getting made and approved, Aaron Hernandez had not been charged with murdering three people. In fact, he might not have even allegedly murdered three people yet. He may have only allegedly murdered two people, unbeknownst to all of us. Florida's football twitter account seems to acknowledge the calendar is legitimate, but rightfully points out how it's just a terrible situation. Hernandez was charged with the murder of Odin Lloyd on June 26, 2013. The next day we learned he was also being investigated for a July 2012 double-homicide in Boston. Maybe someone, somewhere should have remembered that they approved a calendar …

Like many of you, I'm largely indifferent to soccer most of the time. But one thing I'm never indifferent to is an opportunity to gleefully hate 31 lesser nations in the spirit of international competition. Yes, that's right. It's time to put on my hater's cap (it's made of 100% hate/poly blend) and offer you, the Deadspin reader, this handy Hater's Guide to the 2010 World Cup. I don't know much about soccer, nor do I know all that much about nations such as Ghana. But that kind of all-encompassing ignorance is PERFECT for breeding a solid batch of hate. Knowledge only serves to spoil the anger and white hot fury. So now, join me as I run through the World Cup draw and make sweeping generalizations about each country, its citizens, its brand of soc…

data-mm-id=”_nd338usui”>With the decade coming to a close, Forbes released their list of athletes who made the most money in the past 10 years. Floyd Mayweather came in at No. 1, which you could have increased your net worth betting on. Mayweather, who made just under $1 billion, brought in over $500 million in dominating wins over Manny Pacquiao, who also made the list, and Conor McGregor.The order following Mayweather was a bit more eye-opening. In the United States, most would've assumed it was the most-covered athlete, LeBron James, at No. 2. But James came in fourth, also trailing the world's two biggest soccer names.10. Lewis Hamilton: $400 million9. Kevin Durant: $425 million8. Manny Pacquiao: $435 million7. Phil Mickelson: $480 million6. Tiger Woods: $615 million5. Ro…
data-mm-id=”_wtdwse4q4″>The New England Patriots without Tom Brady is a reality that won't really set in until we see the 43-year-old QB in Buccaneer red and black. It will be as strange as seeing Michael Jordan in his Wizards uniform or Peyton Manning in Broncos colors. But despite the separation of two parties seemingly inseparable for 20 years, Vegas doesn't think things will change all that much. According to Caesar's Sportsbook, the Patriots are still the favorites to win the AFC East at -110. Buffalo is relatively close behind at +180, but the Jets and Dolphins are still seen as long shots to become the first team in over 10 years outside of New England to win the division. No Brady no problem? The sharps in Vegas think so:Per Caesars Sportsbook:Odds To Win Divisi…
data-mm-id=”_7byi8tdbo”>The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the New York Giants on Monday Night Football in a game that was a lot closer than many people expected. Tom Brady and the Bucs found themselves trailing going into the fourth quarter and had to stop a 2-point conversion with 28 seconds remaining to hold on and win in regulation. In order to get that stop they also needed the referees to pick up a flag. Here is the official explanation why the officials decided to do that.Referee Brad Rodgers on picking up the flag for pass interference on the two-point conversion: pic.twitter.com/taEHJXqRHd— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) November 3, 2020Sure, sure, sure.

Unfortunately for the Wizards, Beal is undecided on if he wants to join the NBA's season restart in Orlando.

Definitely, it’s more or less going to be a decision that comes down to the medical staff and I, just because of our precautions and coming back from being 0 to 100, then I have some nagging stuff a…
data-mm-id=”_l6tf2w0bu”>I come to you today, reader, with a very serious problem. I cannot stop thinking about this Da Vinky TikTok that has gone viral in recent days.

data-mm-id=”_3rcgehn06″>Despite testing positive for COVID-19 during Game 6 of the World Series, Justin Turner celebrated on the field with his teammates after the Los Angeles Dodgers won the title on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Major League Baseball blasted his decision to exit isolation and mingle with the rest of the Dodgers' players, coaches and family members. Turner received word of his positive coronavirus test during Game 6 and was removed from the game and isolated. Soon after the Dodgers secured the 3-1 win and the series, he was out on the field celebrating. He even discarded his mask for a while and interacted in close proximity to others. All of that violated the protocols MLB and the players union agreed to. Here the key section of MLB's statement on the matter:”Imme…
