WKRG Admits On-Air That Yes, Our Sports Director's Son Is In The Teabagging Video
Randy Patrick was mysteriously absent from tonight's 10:00 news on WKRG in Mobile, but anchor Mel Showers stood in and briefly noted that as we reported on Deadspin earlier today, Randy's son Patrick Setterstrom is a co-star of the now-famous video of the Alabama teabagging incident....
<em>Philadelphia Daily News</em> Columnist Marcus Hayes Suggests NBA Players Don't Know Who Their Fathers Are
Here's a clip from today's Daily News roundup program on CSN Philly, where a discussion of the Minnesota Wild team members bringing their fathers on a trip to play the Flyers tonight is brought to a grinding halt by columnist Marcus Hayes's "It's a good thing they don't do that in the NBA."...
Alabama TV Station Airs Teabagging Video That Features The Son Of The Station's Sports Director
Mobile, Ala.'s WKRG opened its 10 p.m. newscast with the video of an Alabama fan teabagging an LSU fan at the Bourbon Street Krystal after the BCS title game. What WKRG failed to mention is that one of the stars of the video is none other than Patrick Setterstrom, a recent college grad and son of th...
Chandler Parsons Just Dunked On JaVale McGee
Sure, it's a tip-slam, but if you're 7'0" JaVale McGee then the likes of Chandler Parsons should not be dunking on you—under any circumstances. Parsons then rides around with his crotch in McGee's face for a few seconds just added to the degradation, but these sorts of things are how a team like ...
The Job Of Sumo Referee Is A Dangerous One
Things got scarier than usual Wednesday at the New Year Grand Sumo tournament when gyoji Shozaburo Kimura found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. The referee was knocked unconscious and removed from the auditorium on a stretcher. [Kyodo]...
Hakeem Nicks Hauled In A Halftime Hail Mary

NSFW: An Alabama Fan Teabagged A Passed-Out LSU Fan At The Bourbon Street Krystal [UPDATE]
Those of us un/fortunate enough to have visited the Krystal restaurant at the mouth of Bourbon Street in New Orleans know it's a place where the occasionally odd, bizarre, or criminal events take place. We don't know which of these this incident is, if not all three. That's especially given that so...
Darius Morris Hit A 50-Foot Contested Buzzer-Beater
Darius Morris hasn't seen much action for the Lakers this season—the rookie guard has tallied all of 55 minutes thus far—but you might be seeing more of him after this buzzer-beater in last night's 102-94 loss to the Clippers. That or it was just a fluke. (It was just a fluke.) [NBA TV]...
It May Be Professional Lacrosse's Season-Opener, But Teams' Fighting Skills Are In Midseason Form
I'll admit professional lacrosse is a sport beyond my professional purview, so I didn't even know they had hockey-style fights. Last night's season-opener between Rochester and Philadelphia ended with a real rumbler, though, even bringing the goalies out for fisticuffs. In the end, the fight laste...
Edson Barboza's <em>Roadhouse</em>-Style Face-Kick Knockout Is Even Better When Slowed Down 500%
We didn't have time to give this nasty wheel kick KO the proper treatment last night, but here's Edson Barboza's heel applied to Terry Etim's face in extreme slow motion, from Saturday's UFC 142 lightweight event....

Tom Brady's Punt Finally Brought Some Life To The Broncos Defense, If By Life You Mean Punches
Blame Von Miller for this dirty hit that is an unfortunate coda to his otherwise spectacular season. But quick kicks always tend to result in some kind of craziness; like turnovers, they put players outside their comfort zone. In this case, it was reason for Miller to go on an assault mission, th...
Edson Barboza Brutally Knocked Out Terry Etim With A Kick To The Face
While the New England Patriots are metaphorically kicking the crap out of the Denver Broncos, this knock-out wheel kick from Edson Barboza provides legitimate reason to check Terry Etim's pants. It was a blow that might ruin the adjective "lightweight" forever....
Here's The Evidence That Alex Smith Really Did Throw A Playoff Game-Winning Touchdown Pass In The Final Seconds
Jim Harbaugh played for the win, and the 49ers delivered it for him on this Alex Smith-Vernon Davis touchdown pass with ten seconds remaning in the game—just a minute and a half after blowing an earlier lead. [Fox]...
Here's CNN Meteorologist Alexandra Steele's Forecast For Today's Chargers-Lions Playoff Game At Ford Field
Consider how many people are involved in the production of a simple weather forecast on CNN. You have the meteorologist, for sure, but you also have the producer who loads the "wx" into the script/rundown, and the graphics techs who run the system that creates what you see on your screen. ...
Somebody Let Tony Siragusa Know There's An "L" In The Word "Flag"
There are unfortunate misstatements, and then there is questioning the sexuality of an inanimate object. [Fox]...
Florida State Upset North Carolina, But What We Really Learned Is That Walk-Ons Are Expendable
When the clock hit zero at the end of Florida State's shocking 90-57 upset of #3 North Carolina, none of the Tar Heels' star players were on the floor. In fact, they were already in the locker room, as they'd been pulled out of the arena along with the rest of UNC's scholarship players—leaving fi...
Donte Whitner Knocked Pierre Thomas Out Cold With This Helmet-To-Helmet Hit
Legal? According to the NFL. Safe? Smart? You make the call. [Fox]...
Stephen Bardo Saw <em>The King's Speech</em> But Clearly Didn't Pay Much Attention To It
ESPN basketball analyst Stephen Bardo tried to link the story of Missouri basketball star Kim English—who battled a speech impediment—to last year's Academy Award-winning film The King's Speech, but got a few details wrong. Like, for example, that a king was involved....
