Vladimir Putin Goes Bobsledding, <i>Almost</i> Makes It To The End
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is a manly sort, who's never met a sporting photo op he didn't like. Yesterday he visited a training complex outside Moscow to watch the Russian national team train, but couldn't resist hopping in the two-man sled for a ride, despite his fur-lined parka and complete...
We Are All Witnesses To A Magisterial Slap-To-The-Head Flop
This is from London. There, it seems, suited security guards have more leeway to engage in full-on Rick James-esque slaps to others's earholes. Said guard immediately seems to have a tinge of regret to his actions, though....
Nantz: Pebble Beach Is The World's Best Golf Course, So You Should Respect Bill Belichick For Playing It
Pebble Beach Golf Links (among the other courses associated with the Pebble Beach Pro-Am) is one of the most desired courses on Earth for hackers to play. Today's CBS broadcast of the event regularly referred to it as "The World's Best Golf Course." Yet for some competitors in the Pro-Am, CBS golf...
Watch A Shopping-Mall Brawler With Panties Exposed Kick Her Foe In The Face
This ladyfight outside the Giti 8 women's clothing store at the University Mall in Tampa was so mesmerizing in its brutal panties exposure that a reporter just had to take it and show it to shoppers who might have missed it....
Apparently Darko Milicic Never Invests Any Of His Money, Or Even Puts It In A Bank
Former NBA scrub Casey Jacobsen—not to be confused with former MLB scrub Bucky Jacobsen—blogs occasionally for SLAM from Germany, where he now plays for Brose Baskets. His most recent post, where he describes his NBA teammates with senior superlatives, offers a real gem about Darko:...
If This Drunk Canadian Just Kept His Mouth Shut, His Hat Wouldn't Have Gotten Pissed On
Oh, this poor, poor Canadian chappie. He's 34. He calls out a kid with a Mohawk because "we used to shave our heads." Then, he confronts brochacho wearing sunglasses at night in homage to Corey Hart, more likely than not. He then pulls the surrogate-father line of meddlin'....
Jon Heyman's Tweets Make Him Seem Like The Richest Man Alive
Jon Heyman, late of Sports Illustrated and Newsday, now of CBS, is a fine baseball reporter. He keeps up with rumors at an impressive clip, and, when he's not the first with a scoop, he'll credit whoever had it first on Twitter. Judging by his TV and Twitter personas, he seems reasonable. But he als...
Please Get J.R. Smith Out Of China Before His Family Starts World War III
The last time we checked in with J.R. Smith, he was breaking ankles while his sister Stephanie was starting brawls....
Goalies Fight In Minor League Hockey Brawl, Announcers Herald "Mass Hysteria"
Half the fun of this brawl between the Bakersfield Condors and the Ontario Reign last night is, obviously, the brawl itself—which included the goalies. The other half is the announcers' slow descent into giddy madness, including tossing out quotes from Ghostbusters. One of the goalies shamefully k...
Last Night's Ohio-Central Michigan Women's Basketball Game Got A Bit Chippy-Wa
Apologies for the lousy video quality, but here's a fight that erupted between Ohio's Porsha Harris and CMU's Jas'Mine Bracey during the Chippewas' 67-53 win over the Bobcats last night in Mount Pleasant....
The State Of The Union Is Punchy In Front Yards, Trailer Parks And Beyond (NSFW)
Per YouTube uploader kustomcougar, "Cocky neighbor gets his big mouth shut after constant harassment. Then he throws a rock at my brothers truck."...

Yes, This Is CBS Host James Brown Interviewing A Fake Baby
It took CBS all of 15 hours to do something more embarrassing than prematurely reporting Joe Paterno's death. Here's a clip from the network's The NFL Today, something we're pretty sure is an advertisement for E*Trade—though we thought FCC rules mandated such things needed to be disclosed to the ...
We Are Running Out Of Athletes Named Bob
The estimable Jon Bois has an exhaustive study up at SBNation today about how there is only one active athlete in major American professional and college sports named Bob. (It's not Sura.) There used to be a lot. RIP, Bob....
This Is What A Decisive Victory In A Jack-In-The-Box Parking Lot Looks Like
A few things can be taken from this fisticuffs festival outside a Jack-in-the-Box somewhere out there. ALWAYS guard yourself after you land a shot, especially if your foe has already landed at least three to your dome. NEVER hit a man when he's down. And YES, there are still Jack-in-the-Box eateri...
Holy Balls Serena Williams Is Ripped: Deadspin's Australian Open Preview
While Americans were freezing their Tebows off watching playoff football, the first major tennis tournament of the year kicked off in Australia, with temperatures in Melbourne hitting 92 on day one. Dylan Stableford, Deadspin's tennis editor, has a preview of the action Down Under....
It May Be Professional Lacrosse's Season-Opener, But Teams' Fighting Skills Are In Midseason Form
I'll admit professional lacrosse is a sport beyond my professional purview, so I didn't even know they had hockey-style fights. Last night's season-opener between Rochester and Philadelphia ended with a real rumbler, though, even bringing the goalies out for fisticuffs. In the end, the fight laste...
Tom Brady's Punt Finally Brought Some Life To The Broncos Defense, If By Life You Mean Punches
Blame Von Miller for this dirty hit that is an unfortunate coda to his otherwise spectacular season. But quick kicks always tend to result in some kind of craziness; like turnovers, they put players outside their comfort zone. In this case, it was reason for Miller to go on an assault mission, th...
Stephen Bardo Saw <em>The King's Speech</em> But Clearly Didn't Pay Much Attention To It
ESPN basketball analyst Stephen Bardo tried to link the story of Missouri basketball star Kim English—who battled a speech impediment—to last year's Academy Award-winning film The King's Speech, but got a few details wrong. Like, for example, that a king was involved....
Bonnie Bernstein Defends Holly Rowe's Sharp Elbows
We all got a kick out of watching Holly Rowe bust out the sharp elbows to establish her turf after last week's Sugar Bowl. We were amused again to discover it wasn't the first time Rowe had thrown around some muscle in the name of postgame journalism. But there's a reason Rowe does this, and it's ...
