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 »

An Appeal, Straight From The Heart


As you head into your weekend of Hall Of Fame voting, we present a very special message.

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.

Hall Of Fame Voting Enters The Final Stretch


As we enter the final day of nominations for the Deadspin Hall Of Fame — polls are open until 9 a.m. Monday morning — we remain amazed and impressed by the level of passion on display. Above is just the most recent of the campaign videos; there are many more. More »

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 »

To further sway your Deadspin Hall Of Fame votes, here's a pro-ESPN memo video and a pro-Pac Man Jones video. Vote hard!

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 »

Deadspin HOF Nominee: ESPN Memo

It's impossible to overstate the joy in our hearts when the ESPN Internal Complaint Memo showed up in our email box. We had always suspected that ESPN was a depressing, Brazil-esque bureaucracy. But we had no idea how bad it was. More »

Deadspin Film School Continues


Our next Deadspin Hall of Fame campaign film involves Barbaro and comes from the fertile mind of commenter Athletic Supporter, who, like all good directors, ties everything together with some compelling scenes at the end. More »

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Barbaro

Our only returning nominee, the circumstances have certainly changed a little bit since Barbaro garnered only 31.1 percent of the vote in Hall of Fame balloting. More »

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Sean Salisbury

We don't require much to become a Deadspin Hall Of Fame nominee. It helps to have done something embarrassing, or at least epic enough to linger permanently in the collective memory. Or, in a pinch, you can just take a picture of your penis and show it to your fellow ESPN employees. More »

The Ned Campaign Pulls Out All the Stops


We don't mean to influence the Deadspin Hall of Fame voting — we're impartial, totally — but how could we not point out what is surely the first commenter-produced campaign video in this site's history? The production value is excellent, the writing superb; it's like watching a Ken Burns special on PBS, only without so much Lincoln. Good job, Professor Jerkwheat. A grateful nation salutes you.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Brady Quinn

The art of photography is a delicate, complicated one. You must possess an eye for composition and complexity, yes, but you also must hope your subject — whatever he, she or it is — can be capturing in a moment that reveals something, not just about his / she / its nature, but also humanity as a whole. Therefore, Brady Quinn, a star before he ever plays an NFL down. More »

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Ned

When Florida International and The U had their infamous brawl last October, the actions of Miami then-broadcaster Lamar Thomas were funny enough. ("I did say you cant come into our house and try to slap us and not get slapped back. which is true so.") But little did we know about the true hero that would emerge. More »
