Nicolas Cage, Dying (And Humping January Jones) Before Our Very Eyes
We have reached the point where the release of a new Nicolas Cage movie is less fodder for humor than it is an indignity upon everyone involved with its making. It is odd, actually, that movies like Seeking Justice, which will slink across 250 screens today, less a movie release than a walk of shame...
Deadspin Up All Night: Ride It Out

The Blazers Have Cut Greg Oden
It was only a matter of time, really, once word got out last month that Greg Oden would again need knee surgery, and this time on the knee that hadn't been bothering him in the last two-plus years. But now that Portland has committed to building up by tearing down—the Blazers sent Marcus Camby to Ho...

Will Ferrell, King Of WTF
Will Ferrell has a movie coming out this Friday, and there's a chance you aren't even aware of it. That's probably fine with him—although that doesn't mean he's not really proud of this film....
British Media Can't Stop Talking About How David Cameron Ate Hot Dogs At A Basketball Game
The British press has already dubbed President Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron's trip to Tuesday's Western Kentucky-MVSU First Four game "The Hot Dog Summit," and U.K. news reports all appear to be uniquely concerned with Cameron's consumption of the mid-game snack....
Police Pointed A Gun At Zach Randolph While He Was In Bed With A Woman
No charges were filed relating to a mansion party hosted by Zach Randolph outside of Portland last year, where a marijuana dealer alleged he was assaulted by Randolph's entourage after a "disagreement in price" over the weed he was selling.

Just Another Spinning, Jumping, Behind-The-Back Pass From Rajon Rondo
Ho hum, just your run-of-the-mill no-look, mid-air, behind-the-back assist from Rajon Rondo, one of 14 on the night in a Boston win at Golden State. He doesn't care if you're not in his field of vision, or if he's double-covered, Rondo will get you the ball....

Here's Blake Griffin Airballing Consecutive Free Throws
Blake Griffin is good at many things, like dunking and shilling inexpensive Korean automobiles. He is also not very good at some things, and one of them is shooting free throws. Don't expect much reaction from the Clippers broadcast team, though—they're too busy debating the merits of Tracy McGra...
Marcus Camby Wrecked Landry Fields With A Flagrant Foul
Former New York Knick Marcus Camby clearly doesn't have much love for his former team, or maybe he was just frustrated by the ass-kicking the newly-D'Antoni-free New York squad was handing his Trail Blazers. Either way, he put the hit out on Landry Fields and earned a Flagrant 2 for it (reduced t...

Report: Mike D'Antoni Quit Because James Dolan Wouldn't Trade Carmelo For Deron Williams
Oh, you didn't think Mike D'Antoni would go in peace, did you? You didn't think this story would pass without details of hilarious standoffs between D'Antoni and Jimmy Dolan, did you? And you didn't think Mike D'Antoni would leave without all his money, did you?...
Say Goodbye To Mumblecore: How The Duplass Brothers Rise Above The Ramble
It's really easy to hate mumblecore. Not the movies—just that name. A collection of like-minded low-budget indie films about 20-somethings (usually white and pasty) trying to find their way in the world, "mumblecore" calls to mind all the weakest tendencies in these movies—specifically, their ineffe...
JaVale McGee Did Another JaVale McGee Thing Last Night
We already showed you JaVale McGee's, um, pass to Jason Kidd from last night. And we still think what happened Monday, when he cherry-picked after trying to catch a pass with his face before giving up, is without equal in McGee's ceaseless catalogue of hilarity, a virtuoso blend of the sort of low...
Just A Reminder That Knicks Ticket Prices Are Still Going Up
In the wake of the latest Knicks' meltdown and salting of the earth, we thought it worth the time to ask Madison Square Garden if season ticket prices are still going up as planned next year—an average of 4.9 percent, with most of the increases in the upper levels....
