The NFL heads back to London for the second consecutive week when the Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Chicago Bears.
Jacksonville has the worst passing defense in the NFL and my Jaguars vs. Bears predictions surrounding NFL prop picks see Chicago taking advantage of some mismatches.
Here are my favorite NFL picks for Sunday, October 13.

So Snapchat has chosen to celebrate 4/20 with a totally advisable Bob Marley filter that gives you blackface and dreadlocks. They’ll be pulling it and humbly apologizing any time now; I am typing this as fast as I can. Anyway, here are some experiments I’ve conducted. Thank you for your time, which I realize is valuable. I wish I could say the same. Phoenix Suns Star Dan Majerle 2008 Dog-Adjacent Romantic Comedy Marley & Me Did You Know There Was A Glee Character Named Marley? I Didn’t TBH.

José Luis Mendilíbar says he likes the “sound of football”, boot on ball, and mostly football likes the sound of him. Old school and potty mouthed, no pretence or pretentiousness, he’s not messing about. Anti-VAR, pro-fans, attacking authorities and challenging charlatans, cutting through the crap, he has a way with words and his way is direct, blunt, warm and often funny. The coach whose response to a former player apologising for scoring against him was “don’t do it, then” and who admitted “we’re a bunch of cheats in La Liga; touch us and it’s like someone killed us”. He is the man one footballer says could never manage a big club because the media would murder him if he said in Madrid and Barcelona what he says in Eibar.
At times like these, you really have to hand it to Gareth Southgate. Suffocating tension, an underwhelming performance, the fans booing and he remains inscrutable, immaculate, not a bead on him.
When you have lived what Southgate has lived – two World Cups as an England player, now into his second as the manager – it is easier to put a game like Friday night’s slog against the USA into perspective, to blot out the noise.
As Southgate reflected on the 0-0 draw, which was marked from an England point of view by a lack of zip and risk, he made a comment that was perfectly in keeping with his outlook but at the same time seemed to hint at something deeper. “I have come here to enjoy this tournament as much as I …
THE SCOTTISH PLAY
As humans, our brains are hardwired to tell us stories about our lives – with us as the matinee idol main character, of course – such that there’s an entire academic subject and therapeutic industry devoted to unpicking them. And this intensifies for those of us who are football fans, our teams – by amazing coincidence – crystallising aspects of our personal character and our countries crystallising aspects of our national character.
In that context, there’ll have been many who saw the tousing Scotland took from Germany and thought it in perfect keeping with the above, lots of bluster followed by lots of embarrassment. Many, though, are unaware that the quintesse…
While most subscription streaming services are competing to snap up rights to live programming in an effort to attract paying viewers, Sports Illustrated, a publication that simply can’t compete with broadcast giants like ESPN or NBC Sports, has bought the rights to show replays of Liverpool matches, according to a report published by Digiday today. The step might make sense given that SI TV’s current programming consists mostly of old sports movies and SI-produced web shows, but considering that the target demographic for these games are Liverpool fans, the idea that they would become paying SI TV customers in order to watch their team play on a significant delay (at least seven hours for Premier League matches, per Digiday) feels overly optimistic. There’s also the complicating…

2015 was a banner year for the world’s profanity practitioners, as motherfuckers with filthy mouths talked shit on TV, to referees, and to fans around the world. Here’s the best fucking curse words we highlighted on Deadspin’s pages in 2015: To contact the author of this post, write to [email protected] ( PGP key) or find him on Twitter @bubbaprog. …
By a vote of 6-2, the Phoenix City Council approved public funding for renovations to the Suns’ arena and a lease that will keep them in town through 2037. The negotiations over the arena deal were short, shady, and resulted in the Suns getting one of the cushiest deals in recent times. And, because this is Phoenix, the final hearing also featured a bizarre appearance and speech by a man who shot a councilperson over a previous stadium deal. We’ll get to that. First, the details of the funding agreement—which were only publicly released in December, less than week before the scheduled vote, before public pressure resulted in it being pushed back a month. The city of Phoenix will pay $150 million for renovations to the arena, while the Suns will pay $80 million, plus cost overruns.…
The hoopster formerly known as Ron Artest has been a joy to behold this year. From prank-calling radio stations to helping reporters with marriage proposals to senselessly clotheslining J.J. Barea to his mastery of the art of avoiding questions to public-service announcements with wild animals to changing his name to Dancing With The Stars to doing stand-up comedy to his appreciation of Celine Dion's music, Metta World Peace was the gift that kept on giving in the last 12 months. Oh, right, he also (allegedly!) texted photos of his dong to a woman in Oklahoma City, and he couldn't understand all the fuss once word of that became public. We know he's guaranteed to stay crazy and to keep us entertained. But is Metta World Peace a Deadspin Hall of Famer? That…
