    I'm relatively certain the NBA is not excited that their advertisement is right next to a post that links to an academic criticism of their officials. Then again, the services you get from Deadspin advertising isn't too dissimilar from what you get from officials, a lot of money for, at best, an average return.

    A study conducted by me found that picturing Joey Crawford's face is the best way to stave off premature ejaculation and all future boners.

    Ray Smith (center) has a pang of remorse when thinking about what he had to endure to become Frank Perdue's first black employee.

    That study is flawed; it doesn't take into consideration factors such as whether the ref is star-struck by Jack Nicholson or Spike Lee, or if VanGundy's flab is in the way of the sideline running lanes.

    The players knew they were in for a rough game that day when the infamous "Oreo Crew" were refing the game.

    Most academic studies I'm familiar with involve a ratio of natural light cases to bowls of schwag.

    An academic study concludes that NBA zebras "tend to favor home teams, teams trailing in a game and teams trailing in a playoff series."


    And so does David Stern! What a coincidence.

    The home-team advantage, for instance, would yield about one extra turnover every three games, Bluffstone said.


    Stanley Roberts actually had this written into his contract, but he didn't specify whether it would be apple or cherry.

    If that picture doesn't say "I just shit my pants and I don't care if these guys know it"...I have no idea what would.
