Brandon Webb, Still Shutting People Down
Tonight, against the first-place (for now!) Milwaukee Brewers, Arizona pitcher Brandon Webb is attempting to extend his 42 consecutive inning scoreless sheet. He's 17 innings away from tying Orel Hershiser's record of 59 — Orel Hershiser married a girl from Mattoon, by the way — and that's just two ...
The Day The Chargers Avoided Disaster
On last night's "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," the plucky host who stole Larry Sanders' show out from under him mocked the NBC SundayNightIsFootballNight crew for analyzing how the NFL and the Atlanta Falcons would deal with Michael Vick's guilty plea. We understand the easy joke — Who cares abo...

Deadspin HOF Nominee: ESPN Memo
It's impossible to overstate the joy in our hearts when the ESPN Internal Complaint Memo showed up in our email box. We had always suspected that ESPN was a depressing, Brazil-esque bureaucracy. But we had no idea how bad it was....
Deadspin Film School Continues
Our other two films so far, both made on behalf of Ned, are here (by Proffessor Jerkwheat) and here (by Chad Sexington). We had no idea there was such filmmaking talent amongst the comments, and it's clear that at some time in the near future we're going to have to have a Deadspin Film Festival....

Our only returning nominee, the circumstances have certainly changed a little bit since Barbaro garnered only 31.1 percent of the vote in Hall of Fame balloting....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Sean Salisbury
We don't require much to become a Deadspin Hall Of Fame nominee. It helps to have done something embarrassing, or at least epic enough to linger permanently in the collective memory. Or, in a pinch, you can just take a picture of your penis and show it to your fellow ESPN employees....

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Brady Quinn
The art of photography is a delicate, complicated one. You must possess an eye for composition and complexity, yes, but you also must hope your subject — whatever he, she or it is — can be capturing in a moment that reveals something, not just about his / she / its nature, but also humanity as a who...

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Ned
When Florida International and The U had their infamous brawl last October, the actions of Miami then-broadcaster Lamar Thomas were funny enough. ("I did say you cant come into our house and try to slap us and not get slapped back. which is true so.") But little did we know about the true hero that ...

Ladies... Weekend
Good morning, gentleman. We trust that you are all well rested. This is a crazy weekend for us, as not only are we covering Deadspin, but about half of us are on the road visiting fine ballparks across this great land of ours. (Which may or may not be overstating the fact, since Metschick did choose...

You Can't Tell, But Howie Long Is Erect
If we know our average Deadspin reader, you were obviously watching "Fox & Friends" on the Fox News Channel this morning. But just in case ... Richard Simmons was hanging out with the FOX NFL Sunday crew. Finally, someone who makes Jimmy Johnson look well dressed, and Terry Bradshaw look less gay. ...
Darren Daulton, The Only Man With The Stones To Speak The Truth
A little part of us have always wondered if Darren Daulton's whole time-traveling, metaphysics schtick is a bit of a intricate prank foisted on us by Dutch and John Kruk. But even if it is, it doesn't matter, because it's endless entertaining regardless....
