Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and internets to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.

• Obama took an elbow to the mouf playing pickup basketball yesterday [ Accident and Injury Lawyer Blog]. This was enough for CNN to commission a think-blogpost on split lips.
And now, let's ease into a Deadspin Saturday with a collection of videos, shall we?
