Low-Budget Pitbull Imitator Produces Nauseating "Do The Mark Sanchez" Video

Jack Dickey — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 14:10:00 EDT

There aren't too many lyrics here, other than "do the Mark Sanchez," and "heart of a champion," so it's hard to dispute their words with statistical evidence. (Of note: the call-and-response here is "Who's number one?" "We number one!" But "we" could really be the Jets or the performers.) Mark Sanchez isn't good, but they don't really claim that he is. Also, "the Mark Sanchez," a bent-arm point skyward that closely resembles the Soulja Boy, is not a move that Mark Sanchez ever performs on the field. If they wanted to more closely mimic Sanchez's physicality, they'd be better off imitating a check-down on third and long. More »

EA Sports' New "Dive" Feature In FIFA 12 Could Have Been More Subtle

FIFA 12 Could Have Been More Subtle" alt="Click here to read EA Sports' New "Dive" Feature In FIFA 12 Could Have Been More Subtle" src="http://cache.deadspin.com/assets/images/11/2011/09/small_f7omgn8o-eu.jpg"/>

When you put out a football game every year (American or European), you're faced with the difficult task of keeping it fresh. To that end, one of the most hyped additions to FIFA 12 is the heralded Player Impact Engine. It's an "advanced procedural animation system tied with accurate collision physics," meaning players are going to actually interact when they collide. It sounds great. But judging from demo play videos making their way around the web, it might be one of the bigger mistakes the EA team has made. More »

From NESW Sports, "This youtuber was sitting near the front row, and he caught an awesome vid of the end of this fight that will, at the very least, be talked about for some time. Mayweather wins by knockout. But how did we get there?" More »

OK, This Might Be One Of The Least Likely Sports Fetishes Of All Time

Barry Petchesky — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 11:35:26 EDT

Turned on yet? This is just one of a huge collection of videos of women's soccer players spitting. That's all. Not playing. Not celebrating. Just spitting. The fact that they're clearly filmed directly off the TV screen makes it even creepier. More »

This Is What Happens When You Do Ecstasy At Home By Yourself In Your Underwear

A.J. Daulerio — Wed, 19 May 2010 13:35:37 EDT

He actually took a sedative to calm himself down a bit. Then, of course, he strips and dances around with a pacifier in his mouth. Because it's rave or die time, I assume. Mesmerizing. [ViaAlexBlagg'sTwitter] More »

Thank You, Deadspin, And Goodnight!

Leitch — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 17:53:36 EDT

The past two days have been so much fun that they've reminded me of nothing if not... groin shots. One long string of groin shots. Now, I know this "too-hot-for-TV" beer ad has made the rounds, but — just like the genre was at the Springfield Film Festival — you simply can't get enough of it. I figured while you're waiting for Sopranos (or, OK if you insist, the NBA Finals), it'll give you something to occupy your time. More »

Poor Mario Got Strung Out On Mushrooms

mjdeadspin — Sun, 06 May 2007 19:25:20 EDT

So a rockin' sports Saturday morphed into a pretty lazy sports Sunday that was redeemed only recently by an excellent Spurs/Suns game that featured over 215 points and several gallons of Steve Nash's blood. The Spurs did hang on to take Game One. More »

UFC fights don't traditionally get a ton of attention here on Deadspin, and that's probably not going to change anytime soon. Sorry. But I do think you'll enjoy this video of one huge man kicking another huge man really hard in the ear. More »

You'd Think He'd Run Inside

mjdeadspin — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 19:00:00 EDT

I'm not sure exactly what sport this is (I can find no evidence of a Shirtless Snow-Diving Jackass League), but it was under the category of sports on YouTube. Maybe there's a winter roof-diving subdivision of gymnastics. The flip is textbook, though I'm not sure he really stuck the landing. More »

West Virginia isn't likely to hear their name called during this evening's NCAA Selection Show, so to cushion the blow, I thought we could check in with former Mountaineer stars Mike Gansey and Patrick Beilein and see what they're up to these days. More »

Because This Had To End With Tim Hardaway Being Nude On YouTube

mjdeadspin — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 15:30:00 EST

Tim Hardaway might not enjoy gay people, but I really think it could give us all a chance to heal if gay people had a chance to enjoy Tim Hardaway. And since there's already footage available on YouTube that might facilitate this healing process... I feel morally obligated to bring it to you. More »

Alonzo Mourning has announced his intentions to return to the Miami Heat to help Jason Williams and Antoine Walker defend their NBA championship.
