Paul MacLean Was Haunted By A Doppelgänger Last Night
Ottawa smoked the Florida Panthers 4-0 last night, but the more entertaining portion of the game was the man behind the Senators' bench who bore a striking resemblance to Ottawa coach Paul MacLean. The amusing double-shots continued for much of the game, until something tragic happened: they ejecte...
This Stephen Curry Bounce Pass Is Just Vicious
Earlier today Stephen Curry executed what can objectively be described as a stunning play during the Golden State Warriors 106-99 defeat of the Los Angeles Clippers. In the fourth quarter, Curry fired a half-court bounce pass that split two defenders and caught Jarrett Jack in stride for a reverse...
"You're Here For One Reason: To Fuck Us Good!": Let's Remember The Time Earl Weaver Completely Lost It On An Umpire

Inauguration Day In Post-Racial America: George Stephanopoulos Thinks Bill Russell Looks Like Morgan Freeman
Never mind that Morgan Freeman looks nothing like the 6-foot-10 NBA Hall of Famer: The Celtics cap with Russell's number on it apparently wasn't enough of a clue for Stephanopoulos, either. With a nudge from David Remnick, Stephanopoulos—a Massachusetts native—quickly corrected himself. But not bef...
It Appears Bill Cowher Is A Skoal Man
The only bigger waste of time than watching insipid and moronic NFL pre-game shows is watching their post-game counterparts, in which washed-up former stars mumble vacuous platitudes and chickenscratch X's and O's. We noticed something curious last night, though, when Shannon Sharpe suffered a brie...
Watch Expert Troll Russell Westbrook Goaltend A Mascot's Backward, Half-Court Shot
At some point during every Nuggets home game, team mascot Rocky attempts to make a backward, half-court shot. The crowd gets into it, the scoreboard operator puts Rocky's half-court shooting percentage on the jumbotron for all to see, and Rocky hams it up on the rare occasion that he sinks one. It...
The Sacramento Kings Are A Step Closer To Moving To Seattle
Marc Stein and others are reporting that the Maloofs have agreed to sell a majority stake of the Sacramento Kings to a group that would relocate the team to Seattle by the start of next season.

Canadian Figure Skaters Are A Menace
So, you're minding your business (or pleasure) in your tidy Delta Meadowvale hotel room in Mississauga and then, bam! Chaos. Figure skaters everywhere. One man had his cheek cut. He was OK and didn't need any medical attention, but I mean come on. The police were even called....
Jim Harbaugh's Failed Challenge Freakout Is Even Better In Extreme Slow Motion
We brought you the GIF, and so you had to figure the Deadspin Video was coming. Jim Harbaugh and his legendary temper are headed to the Super Bowl, and if we're lucky America's largest television audience will get to witness another historic meltdown like the one he had this afternoon. [Fox]...
Dwight Howard Ejected On Perhaps The Flimsiest Double Technical Foul Ever
What you see there, somewhere, is Dwight Howard's second technical foul of the day—second technical foul of the first half, even—and so, the referees had to send him packing. Their hands were tied, it's a rule. Howard appears to get tangled up with the Raptors Alan Anderson after a Metta World Pea...
John L. Smith, Who Succeeded Bobby Petrino At Arkansas, Will Spend Next Year Coaching A Terrible DII School For About 8% Of His Old Salary
Arkansas's John L. Smith was one of the more colorful characters of this past college football season. The coach of an awful football team whose location he couldn't quite remember, Smith had very little money in the bank as of September, and negative $40 million as of October. Through it all, Smith...

Vince Young Is Just Another Bored College Student Again
Cam Newton's decision to re-enroll at Auburn has been a quiet storyline this week, but Newton's not the only national-title-winning QB again giving school the old college try. Vince Young is back in the classroom at the University of Texas, and he more or less began the week with sharpened pencils a...
High School Hoops Coach Fired After Telling Player To Flatten Opposing Coach
On Monday night, a junior guard at Amherst (Mass.) Regional High School twice ran full speed into the other team's coach, South Hadley's Jeff Guiel, knocking him to the ground. (One of those shoves can be seen below.) That player, Tyrell Jackson, was suspended indefinitely—but he and five teammates ...
Eagles And Browns Executives Are Feuding Like High School Girls Over Chip Kelly
On Monday, CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora did a hatchet job on Eagles GM Howie Roseman. He wrote that Roseman was "drunk with power" and "woefully out of his depth," and to add the sheen of authority, La Canfora cloaked it in "a growing perception around the league."...
Brian De Palma Will Direct That Forthcoming Joe Paterno Movie Starring Al Pacino
We learned back in September that Joe Posnanski's book Paterno would be hitting the big screen, and that Al Pacino had been lined up to play the late Penn State coach. We hadn't heard anything since then, so we hadn't thought anything of it, at least not until we saw this Deadline report:...
Oregon Already Has A Job Listing For A New Head Coach
For some reason, Eagles fans are currently tracking new head coach Chip Kelly's flight from Eugene to Philadelphia. (I think because they saw college fans do it, and it looked fun.)...
