Tommy Craggs has left us to lord over every other Gawker Media site for the next year or so, after which he'll probably need work. After getting a big ol' boner in the quest to verify that Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend was indeed fake and turning Deadspin into a site for communist propaganda, he no longer has to…
A butthole was eaten in a parking lot. Butt action forever.
The Chicago Cubs introduced a new mascot named Clark last January. We made fun of him for being a pantsless freak. Then, we gave him a dick and balls. Then, a news station used our photo of Clark with his cock and balls. That was fun.

We wanted a Baseball Hall of Fame vote both to make a farce of the increasingly absurd electoral process and to give our readers the opportunity to have a say in that process. Someone gave us his vote. That someone was Dan Le Batard. Thanks, Dan!

It was a Christmas miracle: A Twitter argument about Kobe Bryant got so heated that one guy drove to Temecula, Cali., to try and fight the other. (We debated the merits of this.) Thanks to @SnottieDrippen and @MyTweetsRealAF, "going to Temecula" now means more than taking a trip to wine country.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell showed his ass to everyone this year. The leak of surveillance footage showing Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice knocking out his then-fiancée in an elevator led to Goodell, who'd spent years carefully cultivating a reputation for square-jawed competence, standing revealed for…

Donald Sterling lost ownership of the Clippers after he was caught on tape being racist. (We already knew he was a vile man, but an actual recording was too much to ignore.) After NBA commissioner Adam Silver banned him for life, Sterling threatened to sue everyone basically every other day before Steve Ballmer bought…

Vodka Samm stumbled and slurred her way into our hearts back in September. She tried to jump on the field during a University of Iowa football game, was snagged by police before she could get there, had a .341 blood-alcohol content, and unashamedly boasted about it all on Twitter. Vodka Samm showed us how to do…

There may be a regional foodstuff somewhere in America that's worse than "Cincinnati chili." But we've yet to find it. More than a few Ohioans took umbrage with our take on their "abominable garbage-gravy." But what's important to keep in mind is that these are people who actually enjoy eating the stuff. They're…

Lennay Kekua was the heartbreaking story of the 2012 college football season. She was the young, beautiful girlfriend of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, but she died that September. The way the narrative went, her death served as an inspiration for what would become a charmed season, both for Te'o and for the…
