the dark side of the locker room

And Toward Me He Charged: Charles Haley's Bananas

Being a sports reporter is, at times, an absolutely horrible job. Sure you get to watch games, travel and interact with athletes, but there is a horrendous downside. (Which is pretty much everything else.) And this is never more disturbingly clear than when a reporter has their first (or 50th) awful experience with a half-naked, exhausted athlete. Sometimes they'll be openly dismissive, sometimes they'll yell, and sometimes, well, they'll fart in your face. Most of these stories never end up in the newspaper the next day. So now, Deadspin proudly presents "The Dark Side of the Locker Room" where current and former sports writers can share some of their most distressing interactions. If you've got your own story to share, please send it along to ajd@deadspin.com. More »

NFL Draft Attendees Restore The Good Name Of The Fan


We didn't make it to the NFL Draft this weekend, because of a city ordinance that requires all professional bloggers to break out in hives when within a seven-mile radius of Mel Kiper. (That Bloomberg: Such a micromanager!) So we missed the brilliant fan getups on display. More »

Jeff Reed Will See Your Giant Dong And Raise You A Tiara And A Lady

Reviewing The NFL Draft, As If Anybody Knows Anything

Some "experts" — you know, the people who decide who did a great job in a draft mere hours after it was completed and before, uh, anyone so much as puts on more than a hat — were up on the New England Patriots' selections at the NFL Draft this weekend. We couldn't tell you, but we did love any and all shots of Bill Belichick yesterday. Bill! Are you letting your hair grow out? Someone's been hanging out with Bon Jovi! More »

"Big Dick Bandit" Now A Raven

In case you thought the departure of Brian Billick would bring a new age of sterling character to the Baltimore Ravens, you are most definitely wrong. Among the more interesting second day picks came with two of the Baltimore Ravens' three 3rd round picks. With the 7th pick of the third round, they took Miami linebacker Tavares Gooden, whom you may recall for his membership in the acclaimed Seventh Floor Crew under the tag "Big Dick Bandit." It seems Ray Rice isn't the competition that fellow U alum Willis McGahee has to worry about. More »
