"What A Man": Reactions To The University Of Arizona's Negligent Treatment Of Matt Scott's Concussion
There's little doubt that head trauma can result in vomiting: the Mayo Clinic lists "nausea or vomiting" as among the likely symptoms of a concussion, and 100 Questions & Answers About Head and Brain Injuries (available as an eBook through Google) spends a section speculating about the cause of po...
This Week's Signs Of The Apocalypse
For nearly two decades, Sports Illustrated has stirred the tea leaves to discern a weekly Sign of the Apocalypse. Deadspin salutes the magazine's ongoing effort to cover the end of times but declines to cede the scoop on the biggest event in world history....
Lawrence Taylor Twirled His Used Condom Over His Head "Like A Lasso" After Sexing That Underage Prostitute
Lawrence Taylor is a registered sex offender after pleading guilty to paying a 16-year-old $300 for sex in a suburban hotel room in 2010. (Both he and the girl say she told him she was 19.) The plea spared him jail time, but now he's facing a civil suit from the girl, who claims he forced himself on...
Steve Francis Is Being Sued For $9,000 In Missed Payments On A 1964 Ford Thunderbird
We haven't heard from Steve Francis in a while. Last we checked in, he was being welcomed like a king in China—then left his team after playing less than 14 minutes. Seems he's living back in Houston (in a pretty nice house, so don't worry about Stevie), and buying classic cars, and, allegedly, not ...
The Deadspin Staff Discusses An Oddly Captivating Photo Of Eminem And Prince Fielder
A few minutes ago, Deadspin staff member Jack Dickey stumbled upon the photo you see here. This is the conversation that it elicited from the other members of the staff:...

Patrick Kane's New Swiss Hockey Team Has Heard Some Things About How He Acts Off The Ice
The NHL has foolishly locked out Chicago Blackhawks right wing and frequent Deadspin subject Patrick Kane, in addition to 719 other players. Once the lockout became official in September, many of those players signed in Russia and elsewhere in Europe. Others decided they'd cool their heels and wait ...
Aural History: How An Old Lady In Brooklyn Ensured That The "Shot Heard 'Round The World" Call Was Heard 'Round The World
It was Oct. 3, 1951, and the New York Giants were about to lose the pennant to the Brooklyn Dodgers two games to one in a best-of-three series. In Brooklyn, a 26-year-old travel agent asked his mother to flip a switch on his reel-to-reel machine, and few moments later at the Polo Grounds in Upper ...
The NFL Pro Shop Can't Fit Michael Hoomanawanui's Name On His Jersey
Poor Michael Hoomanawanui. If any family members or fans want to show their support and buy the tight end's jersey from the NFL Pro Shop, it might be a couple letters short of his actual last name. For some reason, the previewed jersey can't fit Hoomanawanui's full last name....

Players, Fans, Coaches And Everyone Else In Maple Grove, Minnesota Got Involved In This High School Soccer Brawl
Totino Grace and Prairie Seeds, two longtime rivals and high-ranking teams in the world of Minnesota high school soccer, came together last night to decide who would move on to the state tournament (it would be Prairie Seeds, which won the match 2-1), and also to whale on each other indiscriminate...
Tim Tebow Has Officially Trademarked Tebowing
Word trickles out of Jets practice that Tim Tebow is now, finally, the legal owner of the term "Tebowing." This doesn't mean you or I can't continue to talk about or write about Tebow. It just means we can't profit off of it. (What does this mean for ESPN, where Tebow=Profit?)...
What Is A Chop Block, Anyway, And Why Was Last Night's Call Against Seattle A Bad One?
Barry wrote earlier about the safety Niners coach Jim Harbaugh declined in last night's game. The safety would have made the score 15-6 rather than 13-6, and would have pleased those who wagered on the Niners (who were -7 at most books) and vexed those who wagered on the Seahawks. Barry also noted...
The NFL Was Completely Fine With "Smash-For-Cash" Bounty Programs 16 Years Ago [Updated With Video]
The four players implicated in the Saints bounty scandal are in a kind of limbo, as their suspension appeals make their way through through federal court, as well as the league's CBA-mandated appeals process. The latest movement comes in a Louisiana District Court, where yesterday the NFLPA filed...
When Jim Harbaugh Declined That Safety, He Swung About $75 Million In Bets
Let's get this out of the way first: 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was absolutely right to decline a penalty resulting in a safety toward the end of his team's win over the Seahawks. With a flag for a chop block, San Francisco could have accepted it, taken two points to push its lead to nine, and receive...
Russell Wilson Getting The Football Snapped Into His Ass Summed Up The Seahawks' Offense
San Francisco 13, Seattle 6: Oh, this was not for the faint of heart. Yet another low-scoring NFC West scramble for yards, points, and general attention span of all those who bore witness to this borefest. Alex Smith and Russell Wilson both threw ill-timed and sloppy INTs that could've titled the re...
Here's Footage Of Former WWE Wrestler Shawn Daivari Choking Out An Allegedly Belligerent Train Passenger
Earlier this month, we brought you the tale of ex-WWE wrestler Shawn Daivari choking out Levin Blair, an ill-tempered passenger who was allegedly threatening other riders on a Minneapolis light-rail train. Now, FOX 9 has the surveillance footage of the incident. Watch below as Daivari uses a rear n...
Here Is A Very Important Message From Jerramy Stevens's Attorney
Last year, we published a story about former Seahawks and Buccaneers tight end Jerramy Stevens, who's known as much for being a draft bust as he is for being an all-around bad guy. Stevens played nine seasons in the NFL, but if you go to his Wikipedia entry, you'll find more details about his legal ...
<em>The Sessions</em> And The Trap Of The Disease-Of-The-Week Movie
All genres have their trademarks. In romantic comedies, the two meet, fall in love, break up, and then wind up together. In action movies, a lot of ass is kicked, then more ass is kicked, and then at the end, a hell of a lot of ass is kicked. That predictability isn't always a bad thing—after all, w...
