Vince Young's NFL Ready Throwing Motion
We were sent this a while ago, and it's possible you've already seen it, but we couldn't figure out how to post animated GIFs back then, mainly because we're morons....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while avoiding questions at your confirmation hearing ... • NBA: LeBron's White Crane Style cannot defeat Knicks' Eagle Claw Style in ferocious open combat. • NHL: Thornton's return to Boston ends abruptly — he's ejected. Turns out Sharks didn't need him anyway. • College Basketball:...
Cabrera's Linguisitic Transgressions
On the surface, the news that a complaint has been filed against Florida Marlins wunderkind outfielder Miguel Cabrera for an incident outside a Venezuela club seems pretty rote, just another athlete "scuffle" at a bar. But the story from the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel confuses us so much we can't...
Engine No. 42 Makes The Hall
It's a happy day here at Deadspin headquarters: Former Cardinals closer Bruce Sutter has made the Hall of Fame. He was the only player elected to the Hall; Goose Gossage and others (including, unfortunately, Willie McGee) did not make it in....
Is Baseball's Top Shoulder Doc OK?
Buried in a Houston Chronicle story about Jeff Bagwell's rehab of his right shoulder was this disturbing tidbit:...
You'll Have To Stay Up Late For Stephen A. Now
In news we'd heard might be coming for a while, our main man Stephen A. Smith — whose show "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith," in case you forgot, is "bigger than ESPN" despite having worse ratings than billiards — is having his show moved from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the end of the month....
Up Your Butt, Jobu
Not to get all Bill Simmons on you here — if just because we consider you less readers than active participants — but, hey, this is Deadspin Nation. Robert Taylor sends us these pictures of him and his friends from last Halloween, all dressed up as the guys from Major League....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while petting the rug and vacuuming the cat ... • NBA: I'm guarding him? I thought you were guarding him! Kobe hits 45 for fourth straight game as Lakers upend Pacers. • College Basketball: Welcome to the Big East, Cincinnati (sorry for the bruises). • NHL: No-go between the pipes: B...
Gheorghe Muresan Will Destroy All Bloggers
Apparently, former Washington Bullet/Billy Crystal co-star Gheorghe Muresan does a lot of meet-and-greets at Wizards game, and blogger Mark Pike was one of them and sent us this picture....
Redskins Surprisingly Effective Car Salesmen
With the Redskins improbably advancing to the NFL's Final Eight, we're obviously going to be ratcheting up the Clinton Portis coverage even more than we already have, if that's not terrifying enough for you. As a little appetizer, though, we present you this gaggle of advertisements for Easterns A...
NFL Playoff Roundup: Riiiiipppppp!
• Honestly, we know this was covered all weekend, but man, that Carson Palmer thing was the worst playoff moment we can remember. We think Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals have it tough; Bengals fans finally get in the playoffs, and two plays in, their Pro Bowl QB tears an ACL and MCL. (Quest...
About Last Night ...
Your weekend was like a David Lynch movie, only without the midgets. We'll bring you up to speed ... • NFL Playoffs: One Manning down, one to go. Panthers maul hapless Giants; Palmer-less Bengals lose to Steelers. • College Basketball: No. 1 Duke stays unbeaten with win over No. 23 Wake Forest, just...
About Last Night...
• NFL: Jaguars 3, Patriots 28. It was a Tom Kazanski performance for the Patriots last night. It's the way they play, ice cold, no mistakes. They wear you down, you get bored, frustrated—do something stupid and they've got you. • NBA: Jazz 94, Pistons 90. Utah beats Detroit for the second time this ...
Redskins vs. Bucs - 4th quarter
• Mike Patrick just said the words, "An exciting muff."...
Redskins vs. Bucs - 3rd quarter
• That's how you get back into a game. First, the Bucs force a 3-and-out with a sack on third down, then a nice punt return, then a very slick offensive drive capped by a Simms TD on a bootleg. That's quality work you did at halftime, Jon Gruden. 17-10 Redskins....
Redskins vs. Bucs - 2nd quarter
• The Redskins front 7 is playing very well, keeping Cadillac Williams in check. In essence, they're putting the game into the hands of Chris Simms. • Tampa Bay gets on the board with a Matt Bryant FG, making the score 14-3 Redskins. This leads to the positively infuriating "Score, Commercial, Kic...
Redskins vs. Bucs - 1st quarter
• Anthony Becht and LaVar Arrington seem to have different levels of respect for the recent accomplishments of their alma maters. Becht announced himself as being from "The 2006 Sugar Bowl Champion West Virginia Mountaineers," while Arrington said he was from "North Hills High." • Chris Hovan has ...
Elsewhere in College Basketball...
• #5 Florida 90, Georgia 72. Gators push it to 14-0 by hammering the Bulldogs. Currently, there's not a ranked team on Florida's schedule other than Kentucky, and I'm not sure if they should count. • #12 Maryland 70, Miami 84. Miami hits 12-of-19 three balls to beat the Terps. Nice win, but I'll nee...
Illinois Joins The Ranks Of The Defeated
That nasty Iowa defense spent the day sweating Dee Brown into a 2-of-14 performance from field, holding him to just six points and polishing off a 63-48 Iowa victory....
Kentucky Pounded By Kansas
Unlike everyone else, Kansas and Kentucky have refused to play within their conferences today, and in fact, Kentucky appears to have refused to play basketball at all. They're getting absolutely pounded by the Jayhawks, 73-44 with about a minute left to play....
