Deadspin HOF Nominee: Michael Vick
Long before this whole dogfighting business, Michael Vick / Ron Mexico / Ookie was a popular guy around these parts. It is amazing to us, even to this day, how few people know about the Ron Mexico story. Now, ironically, this whole "electrocuting puppies" business may assure even fewer find out abou...
Bobble Hard, America. Bobble Proud
Time to check in on the world of minor league baseball promotions with Rick Chandler's Minor Enterprise!...
Deadspin HOF Nominee: February 1, 2007
We didn't actually notice what was going on at first; we were at the gym, and we made it back to our desk, there were countless emails: You have to check out what's happening on Simmons' column page. The one-time experiment with Simmons' "conversation" — he hasn't had comments on a column since then...
Hall Of Fame Voting Enters The Final Stretch
To date, we have:...
MLB.tv Is Five ... Buffering ... Years ... Buffering ... Old
We have a subscription to MLB.tv, one that we use the same way we use, say, a miniature tube of toothpaste. It's only needed when we're on the road, it's never quite the brand we like, but it works in a pinch despite its obvious inferiority to the real thing. (It also ends up staining our suitcase, ...
Dance, Marshall Fella, Dance
Last night, in Huntington, W.Va., the Marshall football team hosted a Women's Clinic, meant, apparently, to explain to feeble minded babymakers the basic concepts of football so that they will understand when to leave the room, when to leave the house and when to just bring more beer. It's not easy...
Michael Vick, Born For The Arena League
It is a great sign for Mr. Mexico that, just a few days after word leaked that Michael Vick will plead guilty to electrocuting puppies — and a few days before he actually will — there's already people in the league who are lobbying for him to play when he gets out of jail. Sure, it's the Arena Leagu...
Hey Everyone, Look Who's Back!
Yes, David Wells is now a Dodger. For in-depth analysis of this move, we of course go to Touch 'Em All, Alyssa Milano's comprehensive Dodgers blog. Hmm, nothing. Well, I should have guessed. (Those headbands do look nice, though)....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: "Lemme Know"
Most people don't remember it now, but our own AJ Daulerio actually covered Super Bowl XL in Detroit. He didn't do a bad job — we'll never forget when he lost his rental car — but it was early in Deadspin's history, and AJ was still feeling his way around. By the time he arrived in Miami for last ye...
Michael Vick Hall Shall Stand!
Here's something we didn't know: At Virginia Tech, they actually have a Michael Vick Hall. (You can kind of see it on that map, if you squint.)...
FIU Must Protect This House!
You might remember, during Miami announcer Lamar Thomas' insane rant during the Miami-Florida International fight last year, when he said something to the effect of, "you don't come into our house pulling that," or some similar nonsense. Well guess what, Lamar? Ned and his band of FIU faithful are a...
Your Socks Appear To Be Somewhat Damp
There are so many teams in sports with terrible nicknames. We're not talking about the Redskins; we mean legitimately stupid ones. We think there might be nothing worse than the Toronto Raptors; does anyone even remember Jurassic Park anymore? And don't get us started on the 54,234 teams named "Wild...
How Not To Help A Player Cheat In Class
If you're going to cheat in class to help a college athlete, it's probably a wise idea to at least pretend to try to hide it. Use a fake email account, wear a fake mustache, something. Cover your tracks a little, you know?...
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Kige Ramsey
The thing that's great about Kige Ramsey's dispatches for "YouTube Sports" is not their production value, though that's of course an instant eye-grabber. And it's not Ramsey's natural love affair with the camera. No, it's the straightforward nature of his commentary; no showmanship, no tomfoolery. Y...
Mr. Peabody Instructs Sherman To Set The Wayback Machine To 1897
Just to put the Texas Rangers' 30-3 win over the Batimore Orioles on Wednesday into proper perspective, we take you now to 1897, the last time a Major League team cracked the 30-run barrier. It was a glorious, two-fisted era in baseball, when an umpire could be arrested twice in the same season for ...
Marques Slocum Has Fascinating Pets
This is Marques Slocum, defensive tackle for the Michigan Wolverines. He has a Facebook page. And it's quite glorious....
