Last Night's Phoenix Coyotes Broadcast Featured Some Lady's Five-Hole
It's unclear where the blame falls for this shot that lingered for several seconds up this woman's skirt: on the director who zoomed in, on the woman for whom modesty seems not to be an issue, or on Fox Sports Arizona reporter Tyson Nash for wearing such a ridiculous outfit. Either way, it's a howl...

This Guy Died This Year: Clarence Clemons, Big Sideman
When Clarence Clemons, the saxophonist for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, died this year at 69 after a stroke, a lot of the remembrances, including Hickey's in this very webspace, cued up his solo in "Jungleland." "Jungleland" is a great song, one of Bruce's best, filled with lyrical drama and e...
The Nets' New Public Address Announcer Has Long Dreadlocks And Owns His Own Cigar Lounge
The New Jersey Nets are moving to Brooklyn next year, according to sources. (They're playing out the string in Newark this year or something.) People, especially those who are fans of rapper Jay-Z and center Johan Petro, are excited about this move. But the Nets can't move to Brooklyn and still be t...
Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About How Spectacularly Broke The Mets (And Their Owners) Are
Dan Lewis at Amazin' Avenue makes sense of the Mets' finances so you don't have to. Essentially, they're fucked independent of Bernie Madoff, and everything the team could conceivably sell is mortgaged. Makes you yearn for a couple months ago, when the team was a fuzz less fucked, but still fucked. ...
Mike Francesa Is Eager To Talk About The "Wild Hard Cunt"
WFAN blowhard Mike Francesa is no stranger to verbal blunders, but when he tried to discuss Tennessee's chances to earn an NFL Wild Card bid, things blew up in his face. The producer trying to cut the audio a few seconds too late is a nice touch. [h/t to Bob's Blitz.]...
Ken Rosenthal To My Mom, About Me: "Tell That Little Twit ..."
When I started as a Deadspin intern this fall, one of the duties I took on was publishing the Hot Fucking Stove every day. It's been on the site for two years or so, and it's nothing more than a semi-regular roundup of baseball stories. It's called "Hot Fucking Stove," mostly because that makes us l...
Is Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., The Justin Bieber Of Mexican Boxing, Actually Any Good?
Our guy Hamilton Nolan has a preview of this weekend's fight, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Peter Manfredo Jr., up at HBO. Chavez is clearly a star, with one hell of a bloodline, but is he a champion? Meanwhile, Manfredo's an older journeyman, but he's been winning lately. Read up. [HBO]...
The Lions Had An Awful Lot Of Excuses About The Wind Yesterday
You could chalk the Lions' embarrassing loss to Chicago up to many things. Turnovers, an inability to get the run game going, Matthew Stafford...but no matter how many things don't go your way, it remains all-but-impossible for an NFL team to win when the wind itself is a Bears fan. Here, some selec...
<i>Malcolm In The Middle</i> Makes A Rare NBA Rap Video Appearance
Thanks to tipster Rob and his rapper friend "Rube" for this ode to the NBA. He brings up a good point and something that is often overlooked in this hotly contested negotiation: "When I'm stuck watchin' reruns of Malcolm in the Middle and World Series of Poker can you fathom just a little the void...
You Must Watch This Long, Bizarre Video Résumé For Free Agent Cuban Defector Yoenis Cespedes
Maybe you remember Aleksey Vayner, the man whose video résumé took the snarking corners of the internet by storm in 2006. Or perhaps you're familiar with the glossy books that MLB superagent Scott Boras prints up to pitch his clients to MLB teams. And, you know, if you're familiar with both of the...
The Mets Are Moving The Fences To Distract Themselves From The Fact They're The Mets
Not so long ago (2009), the New York Mets opened a new stadium in Flushing. It was supposed to be a classy, exposed-brick-and-green-steel tribute to the franchise's ascendance. Instead, Citi Field has been a monument to the Mets' modern futility and clumsiness....
Watch Lionel Messi Fail To Convert A Game-Winning Penalty Kick
"The reason [Frederic] Kanoute got so worked up was that after Sevilla worked so hard to hold Barca scoreless for 90 minutes, they were awarded a very soft penalty when Andres Iniesta went down in the box. Kanoute earned his first booking when he knocked the ball off the penalty spot as Lionel Mes...
John Tortorella's 16-Second Press Conference Describes The Rangers' Performance Pretty Well
Getting shut out by the Edmonton Oilers, and Nikolai Khabibulin to boot? Allowing 27 shots to the Oilers? Having superduperstar goalie Henrik Lundqvist leave the game with foot pain?...
Darrelle Revis And His PR Handler Hung Up On A Trolling Mike Francesa Today (UPDATE)
WFAN/YES Network host Mike Francesa is a special combination of windbag and gadfly. He's the self-appointed expert on all matters of New York sports, even though he doesn't know much about them. And he loves picking on angry, frothing Jets fans for their loud coach and on-field antics, despite the...
St. Louis Cardinals Fan Provides A Teachable Moment About The Value Of Proper Spelling
The St. Louis Cardinals won Game One of the World Series 3-2. The St. Louis Cardinals fan who worked up that sign to flash behind the Baseball Tonight guys probably should've spell-checked the Brewer he was dissing's name....
Caller Wants To Discuss Tigers Pitcher, Mike Francesa Hangs Up On Him Because He Doesn't Believe That Pitcher Exists
Dave in Red Bank had some thoughts on Detroit reliver Al Alburquerque, who's gotten knocked around in the ALDS and also happens to have a funny name. (I'm unable to not think of this every time.) But noted sports talk radio caricature Mike Francesa decides that someone's having a laugh at his expens...
A Soccer Player Melts In The Sweatiest Press Conference Ever
Over at Sharapova's Thigh, there's an 8-minute video of Espanyol striker Walter Pandiani gradually getting sweatier and sweatier over the course of a press conference. We're not big on "gradual" around here, so we've chopped it up to show how that light blue dress shirt never had a chance....
Here's Video Of A Black Guy Hosing Down A Racist Lady In Motorized Wheelchair (NSFW)
Let this stand as a lesson that hurtful words and racial slurs have a tangible impact. Repercussions, if you will. In this case, they left a lady soaked and speeding down the block in shame....
All The Details Of The Sarah Palin-Glen Rice Coitus You've Been Waiting For
Joe McGinniss's Sarah Palin biography just landed on our desk, and our eyes went immediately to the excerpt—mentioned last week by the National Enquirer but quoted only in part—that proved for all time that Glen Rice never went to his left. Here it is, in case you were curious:...
