U.S. Gymnast Danell Leyva Has A Habit Of Sending Half-Naked Photos Of Himself To Women [Kinda NSFW]
So says a woman who came to us this afternoon with an offer to "submit some risque photos of Danell Leyva." The woman asked for nothing in return.

Jason Babin Was Cleared For An MRI Because He Finally Took A Shit
Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Jason Babin strained his calf on Saturday, and while the team right away announced he would be out for about a week, they wanted Babin to undergo an MRI, just to be sure.

Men's Gymnastics: Fierce Competitors, Stuck In Second Place
The United States men's gymnastics team is currently trying to achieve what no American men's team has ever done: win a team gold medal at a non-boycotted Olympics.

Perverts Abound At The London Olympics
We acknowledge gymnasts' leotards leave little to the imagination, and while we've never attended a competition in person it's just assumed that, like on a nude beach, staring is the sort of thing most would consider gauche....
Here Is The Screwy Ending To The Judo Quarterfinal Match
This is like something out of a movie. We told you earlier about the controversial ending to the judo quarterfinal match between Masashi Ebinuma of Japan (in white) and Cho Jun-Ho of South Korea (in blue). Both men eventually won bronze medals, but that does not make this scene any less bizarre....
Jerry Jones: "I Want Me Some Glory Hole"
Hoo fucking boy, this is wonderful. Jerry Jones, while discussing the sense of urgency and pressure of being a Dallas Cowboy, mentioned how he yearns for the glory holes of yesteryear.

U.S. Men's Basketball Players Get Hugs From Michelle Obama Despite Not Beating France By 75
Of course, much of this is self-inflicted with all the Dream Team comparisons but it is silly nonetheless. At no point during this "game" against France did anyone with a skull full of working parts think the outcome was in jeopardy. But if the U.S. doesn't look flawless while its opponent simulta...
The Brewers Are Still Depressed About The Greinke Trade And It's Bumming Everyone Else Out, Too
So this is a weird little technical issue that turned the Nationals-Brewers game on MASN2 HD into Dances With Wolves in space, on a baseball diamond. The issue briefly occurred in the fourth inning before MASN fixed the glitch. [National's Enquirer]...
Men's Gymnastics Preliminaries: U.S. Wins, Britain Has Best Hair, None Of It Really Counts
Michael Phelps wasn't the only athlete to prove he was a mere human today.

NASCAR Announcer Cannot Remember His Broadcast Partner's Name
Everything about this is just a mess. ESPN NASCAR announcer Marty Reid has an absolute brain fart on air when introducing his booth-mates before throwing in the towel. He first stumbles when introducing Dale Jarrett (once he remembers his name) and then just gives up on introducing Andy Petree by ...
Hope Solo Slams Brandi Chastain For Disparaging Remarks
Brandi Chastain had some words for the U.S. Women's soccer team that did not sit well with goal keeper Hope Solo. Chastain criticized defender Rachel Buehler for giving the ball away, noting it was something Buehler would have to work on. Not too incendiary, but following the women's 3-0 victory o...
Here Is Your Handy Olympic Master Schedule
The Olympics are crazy. There are lots and lots of events at all hours of the day. But if NBC has its way, you'll learn about the events only a few minutes before you watch them, probably on tape-delay, with all the foreigners cut out. We at Deadspin don't want that to be the case! So we've assemble...
Oh Look, Another Awesome Summer League Dunk
This one's from the South Carolina Pro-Am League, where last night UNC-Wilmington product Dominique Lacy just straight pushed some guy's shit in.

American Beach Volleyball Players Respect The Sanctity Of The Bikini
You may notice some wardrobe changes while watching beach volleyball at these Olympics: A good number of teams will forego the traditional bikini in favor of loose-fitting shorts and t-shirts.
