Remember To Help Enshrine The Worthy
In case you forgot, given all the Twitter madness and the server shutdowns this week, it is DSHOF week. Right now, Barkley is the only one who looks to have a reasonable shot at enshrinement. He continues to amaze. More » -

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Barbaro
Oh, like he wasn't going to get a nomination. Barbaro will be nominated until you guys finally come to your senses and elect him.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Stephon Marbury

Oh, Jay, Jay, Jay. You are an evil temptress. No matter how hard we try, we just can't help ourselves from making you more famous.

Last Call For Deadspin Hall Of Fame Voting
We have come down to the last few hours of voting for the Deadspin Hall Of Fame, so this is your last chance to make your voice heard. (Kind of. I'm not sure "having one's voice heard" is a major issue around here.) The 75 percent induction threshold is what's required, and there are a few nominees just hovering around there.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Barbaro
One SHOTY winner looks like he's gonna make it into the Hall this year. The other is up for an unprecedented third time. Is this the year? Can't a dead horse catch a break?

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Sean Salisbury
I hadn't planned on Sean Salisbury making the Final 10 cut of nominees until ...well, until AJ's wild interview with the man. It's just an amazing glimpse inside a man's mind, in a way that made me (and, I suspect, a lot of you) extremely uncomfortable.

Inside Kige Ramsey's Studio: A Deadspin Exclusive
On June 20, I traveled to the headquarters of "YouTube Sports" to sit down for an interview with Kige Ramsey. It was a three-part interview because Kige has difficulty loading clips of more than three minutes. At the time I planned on running my own interview and story about Kige with CBS. But then I left the ClayNation column and moved over to Deadspin. Meaning the video interview existed in this internet netherworld — inexplicable yet clearly existing. Like Kige himself.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Nightmare Ant
How did I know that Nightmare Ant — the creation of the great, great, J.E. Skeets — had gone "viral," as they say? When some jokester tagged my book "Bow Down Before Nightmare Ant." It made me laugh far more than another damned emo bangs comment.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Erin Andrews
If you're ever bored — or if you're, you know, anything else — I encourage you to check out Deadspin's Erin Andrews archive. The reason sports blogs write so much about Erin Andrews is because there is demand. Put Erin Andrews in a post, and whammo: Instant hit. Just reacting to the market, people ... you know, just like mainstream media.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Kige Ramsey
Whatever your thoughts on his candidacy for the Deadspin Hall of Fame — and I'm fully aware that our comment ombudsman loses his mind every time Kige comes up — you have to admire that, along among all SHOTY and H of F nominees, only Kige has openly lobbied for induction. It's warms my heart every time I think about it.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Matt Leinart
One particular joy this NFL offseason is to flip through the preseason guides and note all the references to the above Matt Leinart photo. Inevitably, it'll read something like, "Leinart had an offseason that pleased the ladies and the blogs more than it pleased the Cardinals coaching staff." I still think this is a rather epic photo; it even inspired a Jeopardy! question

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Isiah Thomas
It's worth noting that no SHOTY winner has ever made the Deadspin Hall of Fame. Barbaro might be up for nomination again this year. Amazingly, this is Isiah's first ever nomination.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Dana Jacobson
On a certain level, you have to like anyone who can piss off Charlie Weis, you know? Everyone forgets now that the Dana Jacobson story was actually broken by an Atlantic City newspaper. And she pretty much assured that ESPN won't be hosting anymore "celebrity" roasts.

Time For Deadspin Hall Of Fame Nominations
Ah, August. You stupid, awful month. You're endless, you're hot and you bring us absolutely nothing to celebrate. The only thing worthwhile about August is that when it ends, we get football, baseball pennant chases and watchable television. And, back in 2005, the end of August brought us Deadspin. Which is why today, we (and I'm using we because I am talking for Deadspin Collective, and not myself, so there) call once again for nominations the third annual Deadspin Hall of Fame.

Part XI: Deadspin Hall Of Fame Inductee...Will Leitch
Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? I’d like to thank ALL of our roasters for their contributions to today’s festivities. I can’t think of a better send-off for our man. I’d also like to thank the always brilliant Jim Cooke for designing the above plaque, at last granting Will Leitch permanent immortality here on this very site. Now and forevermore. Until this post gets buried by the next one. Good thing we bypassed the voting process, because there’s no way he would have gotten 75% of the vote.

Parsing The Deadspin HOF Voting
So, we only had one entrant in the Deadspin Hall of Fame this year. Some have called for us to automatically induct some popular picks, like we did last year with YWML and Carl Monday, but that seems against the spirit of matters. (We don't think anyone would argue they wouldn't have made it, had it been up for a vote; we just wanted those two to have a special honor.) We are populists at heart, and we do believe the people have chosen. More » -

Absolute Last Call For HOF Votes
As mentioned on Friday, Deadspin Hall Of Fame voting has been extended until 5 p.m. today; polls will officially close then, and we'll have the inductions tomorrow. There's still some awfully close battles. Here's where the numbers are standing, as of now. More » -

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Michael Vick
Long before this whole dogfighting business, Michael Vick / Ron Mexico / Ookie was a popular guy around these parts. It is amazing to us, even to this day, how few people know about the Ron Mexico story. Now, ironically, this whole "electrocuting puppies" business may assure even fewer find out about it. Shame, too: It's still pretty hilarious. More » -

Deadspin HOF Nominee: February 1, 2007
We didn't actually notice what was going on at first; we were at the gym, and we made it back to our desk, there were countless emails: You have to check out what's happening on Simmons' column page. The one-time experiment with Simmons' "conversation" — he hasn't had comments on a column since then, though the rest of Page 2 has caved — turned into an explosion, a storming of the gates the likes of which we hadn't seen.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: "Lemme Know"
Most people don't remember it now, but our own AJ Daulerio actually covered Super Bowl XL in Detroit. He didn't do a bad job — we'll never forget when he lost his rental car — but it was early in Deadspin's history, and AJ was still feeling his way around. By the time he arrived in Miami for last year's Super Bowl, he was ready to rock. And boy, did he ever rock. More » -

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Kige Ramsey
The thing that's great about Kige Ramsey's dispatches for "YouTube Sports" is not their production value, though that's of course an instant eye-grabber. And it's not Ramsey's natural love affair with the camera. No, it's the straightforward nature of his commentary; no showmanship, no tomfoolery. You want to know the facts, he's got 'em. More » -

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Pac Man Jones
It is easy to forget, in this new day of Ron Mexico and dogfighting, that Pac Man Jones was once the poster boy for All That Is Wrong With Humanity. It seems so silly now, doesn't it? Man, the guy just wants to rassle professionally. Is that so wrong? More » -
