The Caveman Guy Is Getting His Own Show ... With Phil Simms?
So here's a show we would watch: It turns out that the GEICO Caveman commercials are getting their own television show. We have no problem with this idea; we find the Caveman skits hilarious, particularly the one where he's on the cable news show....
NHL To Simon: Pack Your Crap And Get Out
Because we've never really shown it, here's the tomahawk chop by the Islanders' Chris Simon on the Rangers' Ryan Hollweg from Thursday. After mulling the attack over the weekend, the NHL doled out a 25-game suspension for Hollweg for thrusting his neck at Simon in a vicious manner. Or, no, the other...
Wait, Who's Teaching Whom Here?
You know, nothing is going to encourage kids to head out there and hit the books than an interactive reading session with Tampa Bay Devil Rays Shawn Camp and Rudy Lugo, particularly because each and every one of the kids is better at reading than Shawn Camp and Rudy Lugo. (Seriously, those SUPERSTAR...
Run, Futboler, Run!
We're probably stepping on Mr. Hirshey's toes here, but this above, from yesterday's Champions League game between Inter Milan and Valencia, has all the elements of a great soccer fight. Everyone's just grabbing each other, lightly tapping and hugging, really, until one guy comes in and punches a gu...
Don't Take This Personally, Coach, But ... THWACK!
So often fans throw projectiles — until it's in the air, it's just an object; it's not until it's thrown that it becomes a projectile — from the stands and don't even come close to a reasonable distance from their target. But last night, in a soccer game in Spain, one careening bottle at last found ...
... And Italy Is Awarded Another Penalty Kick
When even French TV announcers are laughing at your attempts to take a dive, perhaps it's time to just consider playing straight up. Even Barry Bonds is looking at this and saying "That's cheating, dude."...

The Stoner Hoops Highlight Reel
Ah, the halcyon days of yesteryear, when life consisted mostly of lying around in your pajamas all day, playing Sega, pretending to study and mostly mastering the art of Nerf basketball. These dorm room kids from Vanderbilt have mastered this art, and the whole enterprise is making us feel extremely...
The Soundtrack To Ashley Judd's Next Movie
Because nothing's more fun than a good embarrassing fan-made video, here's something's that's becoming a yearly tradition: A completely humiliating Kentucky "rap" video....
Deadspin Field Trip: The AJ Daulerio Going Away Roast
About a month ago, our own AJ Daulerio wrote, in his Cultural Oddsmaker column, that he dreamed of one day having a roast in his honor. Little did he know that the wheels were already in motion for that very thing....
We Hope You've Already Eaten This Morning
We're sorry about this, but we really do have to show you the video of Clippers guard Shaun Livingston's brutal knee injury last night. We're not sure what they're cleaning the floor with over there, but it's either rubber cement or battery acid. Imagine if someone would have actually been guarding ...
Why Do They Mic Up Golfers, Anyway?
For all the talk of Tim Hardaway over the last week, we mustn't forget this grand moment from last year's Masters, when Vijay Singh, upset with a slicing drive, croaked "Fucking Faggot Motherfucker!" in his special Vijah Singh accent....
ESPN: We Pan The Crowd, You Decide
Look, according to union rules, technicians in the ESPN video truck get one 15-minute coffee break every two hours. So if you're the director, sometimes you need to delegate. "Go ahead and choose which section of the crowd to pan, Buzz. I'm finishing my danish." Or, you know, perhaps every fifth per...
That's How You Celebrate A Goal
Another reason to tentatively, cautiously warm up to soccer: When one of its players beats up a teammate with a golf club for refusing to join him in karaoke, he's not beneath celebrating a goal the next week by swinging an air golf club feverishly. This is like, say, Pacman Jones celebrating a touc...
We're So Sorry, Uncle Albert
Look, we're still a little unclear on why the University of Florida's mascot statue, Albert the Alligator, was placed on the Ohio State campus recently (some kind of a Nike promotion or something). All we know is that it took more than five hours for students there to destroy it, which is simply una...
What's Eating Tim Hardaway?
You might have seen this already, but this clip from the "Jimmy Kimmel Show" — which, surprisingly, is rumored to have been in trouble of late — dips a bung into the brain of Tim Hardaway and pretty much captures is deepest, darkest, most desirable fears. Plus, it's Takei....
Gilbert Arenas Is Playing Russian Roulette With His ACL
As always, the greatest moments of All-Star Weekend happen when the "game" isn't actually on, and The 700 Level found perhaps the best one. During a commercial break, Gilbert Arenas — of course — decided to satisfy a lifelong curiosity and, playing along with the "entertainment," dunked off a trampo...
Rarely Are Pillow Fights Won So Decisively
We imagine that this is what the ancient Roman gladitorial games must have been like, if they fought with pillows, and one of the combatants was an incredible wuss. "Think that's the worst of it? Release the kitten!"...
Tim Hardaway's Deeper Hole
OK, so here's what we want to happen today: Every half hour, we want someone to call Tim Hardaway to ask him about his comments about hating gay people. You can ask him the same question every time, every half hour. It'll be great, because he'll find a way to dig himself an even deeper hole each tim...
What You See After You Hang Out With The Gonzaga Basketball Team
From the Things We Don't Understand file, we end your day with this entirely random video that features Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and "Saved By The Bell"'s Mr. Belding playing Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" with "metal" "band" Metal Skool....
