High School Makes Fancy Video Asking Jeremy Lin To Speak At Graduation, Lin Says No Thanks
One of the main duties of New York's Stuyvesant High School's senior class president is to line up the commencement speaker. So, with the help of students and faculty, he put together this video begging Jeremy Lin to be that speaker. (Warning: there's rapping. Of course there's rapping.)...
<em>Slap Shot</em>: The Only Honest Sports Movie
From the very first scene of Slap Shot, the classic hockey film makes its stance clear: The way everybody talks about sports is bullshit. Denis Lemieux, the befuddled language-challenged Charlestown Chiefs goalie, is on television talking to broadcaster Jim Carr, who is trying to get fans to bring t...
Arrested Drunk Man Sings "Bohemian Rhapsody" In Its Entirety In Back Of Police Car [UPDATE]
Dude in the video above wasn't happy about being picked up by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for being intoxicated. The best excuse he can muster is something about "brotherhood of men on the planet earth" before he segues right into singing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." In its entirety. He even...
Cheer Up, Lamar Odom And Derek Fisher: Kobe's Going To Bring You Back Home
The Lakers are like a progressive, experimental insane asylum already run by the insane, but then the incarcerated insane take over from the insane running the place, and agree to a power-sharing program where nobody's quite sure which of the insane people are in charge. All of which is to put this ...
JaVale McGee Dunked Jose Calderon Into The Front Row Last Night
JaVale steals the ball. JaVale runs the break. JaVale goes up for the power dunk and almost knocks a brave but foolish Jose Calderon out of the building. It's all so very JaVale. Great call from the Denver broadcast crew, too....
Channing Frye Is The Latest Victim Of A Blake Griffin Monster Dunk
It's not quite what Blake Griffin did to Kendrick Perkins back in January, but that's only because Channing Frye politely gets out of the way once he realizes what's coming. Griffin only accentuates his point by stealing the ball on the Suns' next possession and dunking again....
The Knicks Blew Out The Magic, But The Bigger Surprise Is That Glen Davis Didn't Eat This Knish
New York stomped Orlando 108-86 last night in a game that was less close than even that score indicates. But lost in the narrative is a single moment that speaks volumes about love, betrayal, and an uneaten knish....

Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Erik will be with you shortly....
Poor Dumb Snake Eats Golf Balls Thinking They're Eggs
It's almost cruel, what an Australian farmer did: he put golf balls in his chickens' nests to encourage them to lay eggs. Does that work? Well, it fooled a coastal carpet python, who swallowed two of them....
Release The Crappin'! <i>Wrath Of The Titans</i>, Reviewed.
1. Everyone looks so bored in Wrath of the Titans that I honestly felt bad for them. Sure, this sequel is an obvious quick-hit money grab, the sort of cash job that it's difficult to raise one's dander for, but hey, that's the reason most movies exist, after all. No, Wrath of the Titans inspires a p...
Tripping Basketballs: Hoopsters Are Alive And Well At The Ultra Music Festival
While we declared the end to the Hoopster trend a year and a half ago, the Hoopsters show no signs of quitting—certainly not at this past weekend's Ultra music fest in Miami. For the uninitiated, Ultra is the social event for college kids who love Ecstasy and sort of like electronic music. Here are...
Craig James Says Mike Leach Is "A Bully" In Amateurish Campaign Ad
Craig James's floundering campaign for a U.S. Senate seat has a new video in which the candidate trots out his daughter to address the thorny issue of what Mike Leach did to his son at Texas Tech. "If I see wrong, then I'm going to stand up against it. I will never let something go by that is a bu...
Steve Nash Dished A No-Look Pass While On His Ass Complaining To The Referee
Last night's Suns-Spurs game got off to a unique start, as Steve Nash fell to the floor after being checked by a San Antonio defender, looked up at the referee to complain about the no-call, and simultaneously passed the ball to Marcin Gortat, who attempted a three-pointer. If there's any play t...
Andrew Bynum's Mini-Mutiny Included Trying A Three, Pouting
There has to be some reason why Andrew Bynum thought it would be a good idea to chuck up a three-pointer with plenty of time on the shot clock in a close game against Golden State. These are the Lakers, and they spend more time sending each other passive-aggressive messages than actually playing b...
NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman Is Broke, Owes $800K In Child Support, Won't Go To Jail
Alleged deadbeat dad Dennis Rodman is not doing too well these days. Facing more than $800,000 in owed child support payments to his ex-wife, Rodman was facing four counts of contempt of court and serious jail time if convicted. Today, the commissioner overseeing his case delayed his next hearing un...
An Ohio State Superfan Was Hospitalized By A Flying Turkey
If all you know about Ohio is from watching WKRP, you might think that turkeys can't fly. Not so, claims Ohio State superfan John Chubb—better known as "Buck-I-Guy"—who claims one of the birds smashed through his windshield as he returned from the Buckeyes' 3rd-round win over Gonzaga last weekend....
Deadspin Up All Night: Be Golden
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. All kinds of goodness coming up tonight....
LeBron Dislocates Ring Finger
James injured his left ring finger during last night's loss to Indiana. The team isn't talking, but one report says it could be dislocated. This is your cue to make bad jokes. [ESPN]...
Cat Gets Loose During Basketball Game, Evades Dog Mascot
Israel is full of stray cats, so pure numbers say it was a matter of time before one of them ended up on the court during a Maccabi Tel Aviv game. The cat panicked, unable to handle the transition game and the slippery floor, and was set upon by Donny the Dog, Maccabi's mascot. Kitty escaped, thou...
