When You Invite Kevin Durant To Play Intramural Flag Football, He Might Just Show Up
What happened last night at Oklahoma State is a spiritual cousin to Nyjer Morgan being told on Twitter to go fly a kite, then doing it. Only less mentally imbalanced....
This Evening: Woody Paige Is A Sad Clown
Your p.m. roundup for Oct. 31, the day Domino's resorted to arson. Photo via Mock Session. Got any stories or photos for us? Tip your editors....
Andy Reid Is: Jason
He actually conducted a 20-minute-long interview for the Eagles site while wearing this mask today. Confidence is a potent drug. [Via Larry Brown Sports]...
Jim Irsay Is: Jeff Saturday
Funny thing is, Irsay probably could have helped his team had he dressed up as a receiver. [via Twitter]...
Here's West Virginia's Lawsuit Against The Big East, Which Is "No Longer A Viable And Competitive Football Conference"
On Friday, West Virginia announced that they're heading to the Big 12, which was a poorly kept secret. So poorly kept that the Big East has been preparing a lawsuit to force them to honor the terms of their agreement: that departing schools must stay in the conference for 27 months before leaving. T...
A Very Thirsty And Very Sweaty Gary Patterson Has A Personal Liquid-And-Towel Valet
Avid mid-major college football watchers (yes, we exist) have noticed this for awhile, and YouTuber wtem980 has been so kind as to compile this video of the young lady whose task it is to be at TCU head coach Gary Patterson's side at all times to supply him with hydration (I assume it's water, bu...
Andre Iguodala Is: Dragonfly Jones
It looks like the Sixers forward has spent the lockout watching DVDs of Martin, as he goes deep into the archive of non-Sheneneh recurring characters. [Twitter, via The700Level]...
Here's Another Cool Scorecard From Game 6
Perhaps World Series Game 6 has faded from your mind, as the series ended Friday night with not a bang but a whimper. But you should recall, in any case, that Game Six was pretty fucking cool. We posted New Yorker writer Roger Angell's scorecard and asked Deadspin readers for theirs. This one comes ...
JaVale McGee To Become The Latest Non-Filipino On The Philippines National Basketball Team (UPDATE)
The Philippines is a nation crazy about basketball. Sick of always losing to China in the FIBA Asia Championships, which act as qualifiers for the Olympics and World Championships, the country has taken advantage of some lax laws on citizenship to stock their team with talent from around the world. ...
The Rock Is: Fred Flintstone
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson dressed as a Flintstone from Bedrock. This works because of, you know, rocks; this fails because Fred Flintstone could never be so freakishly ripped. The John Goodman movie was awful, but John Goodman was the right schlub for the part. Still: credit to The Rock for (possibl...
In New Book, Shaq Explains How Kobe's Sexual Assault Charges Destroyed The Lakers
Shaq Uncut: My Story, the Diesel's new autobiography written with noted Around the Horn personage Jackie MacMullan, comes out November 15 and it dropped on our desk today. There's some juicy stuff in there, most obviously about the beef between Shaq and Kobe. We had always known that the feud took a...
Amar'e Stoudemire Is: King Solomon
Not pictured: 700 wives and 300 concubines. [Twitter]...
The Sad Saga Of A College Football Player Who Didn't Understand How Twitter Works
Elon senior RB Jamal Shuman is frustrated. The Phoenix lost 48-28 Saturday to Wofford, and Shuman only factored in one play—a five-yard pass reception. So he did what anyone would do in that situation, and vented on Twitter....
SprtsCntr: The Losers All Talk The Same
What is ESPN prattling on about right now? We condense your morning SportsCenter to its essence....
Wally Szczerbiak Is: Superman
Wally Szczerbiak is gainfully employed, unlike everyone else in the top 10 of his draft class. That temporary triumph doesn't make a Superman costume anything but a bit of a reach for the Szczerb: maybe someone like Aquaman or Jubilee would be more appropriate. [Twitter]...
Evgeni Malkin And Sidney Crosby Are: Hairy Guy And Gladiator
Not sure if that's "pimp", or the more general "hirsute man from the 70s." But to echo the comments every Penguins fan, Geno probably should have gone as the Invisible Man: he already has the costume. Meanwhile, someone ask Crosby if he likes gladiator movies. [Twitter]...
Paul Bissonnette Is: Hacksaw Jim Duggan
That's a brave, brave costume for the Coyotes tough guy, from the same team Halloween party that brought us the latest blackface costume debate. More importantly, how did the real, out-of-shape Jim Duggan walk around in briefs for a decade and none of us thought twice about it? [Twitter]...
Rob Gronkowski's Brother Goes As Rob Gronkowski For Halloween
Earlier today, Rob Gronkowski's younger brother, Glenn, tweeted a picture of his Halloween costume. Oh, those crazy younger brothers. He's a college student, at Kansas State, so this costume actually fits his budget perfectly. No Shirt, and a jersey from his brother. The whole thing is priceless. W...
Arizona Is Once Again Responsible For A Batshit Crazy Late-Night Play
Pac-12 football has long been the viewing domain of East Coast drunks and insomniacs, Midwestern degenerate gamblers looking to recover the day's losses, and Pacific coast... football fans. And it's often the home to the weird, the wild, and the stupid, which is exactly what happens here as Arizon...
