2013 Deadspin Hall of Fame Nominee: Vodka Samm
Vodka Samm stumbled and slurred her way into our hearts back in September.

2013 Deadspin Hall Of Fame Nominee: Rocket Frog
This remarkable photograph of a frog's ascension into the heavens was captured during the September launch of NASA's LADEE-laden Minotaur V Rocket.

Brazil's World Cup Kick-Off Times Are <em>Perfect</em>
The last four World Cups have been nightmares for American television viewers, with games kicking off at sunrise or (in 2002) in the middle of the night, and finishing in the middle of the afternoon.

Ronaldo Scores Three, Feigns Human Emotion; Portugal On To World Cup
The Portugal-Sweden playoff matchup was seen by most as little more than a matchup of Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimović, two of the best players in the world.
