Hulk Hogan, Everybody's Cheerleader
The Flyers rolled out the Hulkster to rile up the home crowd with the promo video you see above, which was shown during yesterday's Game 3 victory over the hated Penguins.

Tyler Clippard Tries To Deliver A Pitch, Falls
The Nationals turned to reliever Tyler Clippard to begin the 11th inning of yesterday's game against the Reds. But as Clippard dug in to deliver his first pitch to Drew Stubbs, he ... oops.

Introducing The Official Deadspin Youth T-Ball League
Last year, in the midst of a video war we were then waging with MLB, we put out the call for willing participants to assist us in our cause.

Gilbert Arenas (Sort Of) Sets The Record Straight On Shoe-Pooping
USA Today has a story today on Gilbert Arenas, who seems to be enjoying the quiet calm and relative anonymity of being a role player earning the veteran's minimum with the Memphis Grizzlies (that the Magic still have to pay him $60 million probably helps)....

The Cavaliers' Mascot Had To Go To The Hospital Because David West Punched Him In The Eye
It's all fun and games until an NBA player lands a punch that sends a man in a giant dog costume to the hospital.

Flyers Defenseman Says He Hid His Concussion To Keep His Job

Two Blonde Blow-Up Dolls Got Motorcycle Rides On The Arkansas Campus Today
And this photo of them was spotted by a reader named Trey. This much is known: The two outlaws driving certainly weren't Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper.

Jerry Sandusky Is Using His Charity's Insurance To Pay For His Defense
That's according to USA Today, which estimated the cost of Sandusky's legal bills to be $200,000—so far.

Vince Carter Airballed A Finger-Roll Last Night
At first, the best part of this clip is how the Kings pretty much allow Carter to traipse down the lane for what should have been one of his signature dunks. Not too long ago, Carter would have obliged by giving all of us something to marvel at. But he's 35 now, and it must be harder and harder for...
