In 2023, the Baltimore Orioles won 101 games (their first time winning 100+ games since 1980), then lost in the ALDS to the Texas Rangers. In 2024, the Baltimore Orioles won 91 games and then lost in the Wild Card Series to the Kansas City Royals. Last season, the Baltimore Orioles finished 75-87—last place in […]
It’s the end of the year, a time when we writers pretend to be gatekeepers and tastemakers, deciding which art deserves preservation, stealing easy engagement with end-of-year wrap-ups. My turn. (Check out my newsletter to read My Top 50 Albums of 2025) Okay, let’s get into it. Here are my 1o favorite films of 2025: […]
The 8-2 Detroit Pistons hosting the 1-9 Washington Wizards on Peacock’s big Monday night primetime game. I liked Washington’s offseason acquisition of Cam Whitmore—but I’m not sure I’d lock them into the 3rd week of the NBA’s return to NBC. But Washington might be the greatest 1-win team of all time, pushing Detroit to overtime, […]

The New York Giants have the 3rd most wins in NFL history. 4 Super Bowl Championships. A historic institution in this country. In 1925, Tim Mara and Will Gibson scraped together the most money they could, outbidding the field— ً$2,500 the New York Football Giants. Today, the price at the drive-thru window ordering dinner for […]
You never want to celebrate the loss of another human life. We only get one opportunity on this planet Earth . We are so fortunate to have our cells formed and developed into living, breathing organisms. Every life on this Earth is sacred—just as any loss of life is a tragedy. HOWEVER… OREM, Utah (AP) […]
I loved the 2018 Yankees. They led baseball in homers—Aaron Judge only hit 27 of them. Gleyber Torres and Gary Sanchez were future Hall of Famers. They had two potential decade-long first basemen in Greg Bird and Luke Voit. Giancarlo Stanton looked like the MVP they stole from Miami. Didi Gregorius was the next Jeter. […]
Dear Riley Gaines, I pray this reaches your eyes—although I understand how busy you must be changing the world. See, you are an inspiration to folks like me. Whenever I see you trending—standing up against trans women in sports—a non-issue to most people because statistically, there are sooooo few trans women attempting to participate […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates stink. They’re only mentioned as background characters in the life of Paul Skenes—the best pitcher in baseball. Skenes is only 4-6 in his 14 starts, thanks to the bad team around him. Pittsburgh is 29th in runs—ahead of only the Colorado Rockies—a team that, at this point, I have to believe is […]
In 2012, Wade Miley was The Prince Who Was Promised for the Arizona Diamondbacks. In a textbook definied “average” season, finishing 81-81, 25-year-old Wade Miley looked like the type of player a front office just pencils into their rotation for the next decade. Here’s what Miley did back in ’12: 16 wins 11 losses 194.2 […]
Welcome to Free Throws, Deadseriousness’s weekly NBA column, getting some shots up and tossing around some basketball takes. This week, we have a breakdown on why the Boston Celtics are down 0-2 in the second round, a whistleblower on the Draymond Green Agenda™ and some quick Tyrese Haliburton slander, as a treat. The […]
I don’t like writing about these domestic abuse cases. It feels icky sometimes. But I also imagine the victims don’t like getting beat up by celebrities and athletes who casually return to work without facing any real consequences—so I guess I’ll talk about this new Tyreek Hill fight. Wednesday afternoon, local Sunny Isles Beach police […]

Druski is the only social media comedian I genuinely find funny. I mean, I’m not entirely sure where his content is, like in full totality. I’ve only consumed his work in 60-second clips from other accounts BUT those 60-second clips were fun. There are over ONE HUNDRED active lawsuits filed against Diddy right now and […]
