Thank you for continued support of Deadspin. The night shift should be coming on in a few, so stick around, put your feet up, why not?...
Like A Meaner, Braver, Less Funny <em>Bridesmaids</em>. <em>Bachelorette</em>, Reviewed.
1. In retrospect, the "surprising" success of Bridesmaids should have been the furthest thing from a surprise. It was a big, broad, audience-friendly comedy that made sure, in between all the poop jokes and the rampant silliness, that you liked all of its characters. It was ribald and bawdy, but nev...
The Knicks' New Uniforms Contain A Hidden Threat
The Knicks haven't been particularly coy about leaking the designs for their new jerseys. Two weeks, ago, there were the screenshots from an NBA 2K12 preview, and a league source quickly confirmed their authenticity. Yesterday, Amar'e Stoudemire showed up wearing the new uni on Live! With Kelly And ...
Vladimir Putin Dressed Like A Bird And Flew With Endangered Cranes
Manliest of world leaders, Vladimir Putin has never met a sporting photo op he didn't like. So it's precisely zero surprise to see the Russian president flying an ultralight aircraft, leading a flock of endangered birds on their first migration....

A Movie About Books Made By People Who Don't Read Them. <em>The Words</em>, Reviewed.
1. When my first book was published—and "published" is honestly being kind; it's probably more accurate to say it was "repeatedly photocopied"—perhaps the most common question family members asked me: So, are you going to go on Oprah? They were joking (I think), but something about their question wa...

PNC Park Rings With Ric Flair "WOOO"s As Pirates Fans Liven Up Game With Impromptu Nature Boy Calls
If you were watching last night's rain-delayed Astros-Pirates game from Pittsburgh, you may have noticed an odd series of noises coming from the crowd during the middle innings.

Wolf Blitzer Could Only Sum Up Michelle Obama's Speech With An Awkward Baseball Reference
When Michelle Obama's rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention concluded tonight, CNN's Wolf Blitzer was so flummoxed, all he could manage was a bumbling baseball reference that on paper seems fine but, when spoken, came off as if he didn't know, as the words were coming out of his mou...

<em>Keep The Lights On</em>: The Year's Best Unhappy Love Story
Hollywood makes a lot of love stories in which the couple end up happily ever after, but the ones that endure tend to be those where the opposite is true. Casablanca, Gone With the Wind, Annie Hall—love doesn't conquer all in any of these movies, and they stay with us because they play into our shar...
Story About LeBron Promising Liverpool A Vegas Party Was Too Fake For Even The British Tabloids To Stand Behind
Liverpool is...not having the best of starts. The high-priced, high-expectation club has gotten out of the gate at 0-2-1, which is only the second-most disastrous performance of the year for a Fenway Sports Group team. But another Reds owner was reportedly not so sanguine about the results. LeBron J...

Chick-Fil-A Is Still Sponsoring NCAA Football
If you watched Clemson vs. Auburn at the Georgia Dome yesterday, or North Carolina State vs. Tennessee the day before, you undoubtedly noticed—because, you know, branding—that the sponsor for the games was Chick-Fil-A; the two-day event was called the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game. As you can see in the ...
