The Politically Incorrect Cow
There's no way we're not seeing that cow in our nightmares. We had no idea he was so ... tall....
Introducing The Deadspin Morning Video Wrapup
We're trying something new around these parts to see how it goes over. We've asked the great Brian Powell of Awful Announcing to come up with a morning video wrapup of the night's events. It will usually run earlier in the morning, but we like the idea. This morning: Stephen A. Smith's phone troubl...
Shaquille O'Neal Won't Mince Words About Kobe Bryant
Gossip scoundrels TMZ have released probably one of the most entertaining videos you'll ever see in your whole entire life, as Phoenix Sun center Shaquille O'Neal revisits his Shaq-Fu roots and burns Kobe Bryant with an impromptu free-style at a New York City club....
"In Baseball, The Goal Is To Go Home ... To Be Safe At Home"
As you've surely already heard, George Carlin died at the age of 71. He's most famous for the seven dirty words, but for our money, the above clip, about the differences between baseball and football, is the funniest thing he's ever done. He nails the emotional principles behind each sport and re...
Lacrosse Cheerleaders Gotta Keep A Heads Up
You might have wondered why Major League Lacrosse would possibly need cheerleaders. Wonder no longer: Major League Lacrosse needs cheerleaders so they can be hit in the face by errant shots. Duh....
Kevin Millar: Word To Your Mother
Because we're video crazy this morning, Bromoblog has uncovered an apparent bet between Jason Varitek and Kevin Millar on the NBA Finals; loser has to come to bat to Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby." Apparently Millar lost....
What's More Fun Than Sprinting California Rolls?
It's a lazy, post-Finals Thursday morning, with the sports world mostly taking a deep breath to relax over the next month and a half. We're going to spend most of our day waiting for our parents' plane to arrive and trying to direct them through the vagaries of the New York City subway system. (Hone...
Keith Olbermann Is Not Much Of A Pistons Fan
Keith Olbermann seemed genuinely flustered last night when Al Gore took his sweet time taking the stage at Joe Louis Arena to endorse Barack Obama; so much so that he forgot what team Chauncey Billups plays for. Billups was onstage to introduce Gore, and Olbermann had to go to his notes to identify ...
Barbados World Cup Dreams Go Down Hard
Well, that went about as expected, considering that Sussman is their starting goalie. Barbados lost to the U.S. 8-0 on Sunday in a World Cup qualifier, as you can see in the above video highlights, which are nearly as long as the match itself. Watch closely, because I'm pretty sure we scored two goa...
Tim Russert Was A Grand Thespian
Acting! What's more fun than seeing Russert saying, "it's all about the Benjamins" while doing a fist bump? If you haven't seen Luke Russert's interview this morning with "Today," we recommend doing so immediately, but only when no one's around, lest your boss make fun of you for weeping. We still t...
Kobe Bryant, Experienced Drinker
Of all the weird, vaguely insane things that Kobe Bryant has done in his weird, vaguely insane life — this is still our favorite — the most public and quietly strange might have been his claim at his press conference last night that he would go home and “whine about it tonight ... lot of wine ... lo...
Hang Onto The Ball, Or Pants?
If you're trying for a foul ball at a game, it's best to make certain that your pants will stay in the proper "wrapped around your waist" position for which they were initially intended. Imagine if this would have happened to poor Steve Bartman....
How Not To Heckle
We enjoy heckling as much as the next guy, but yeah: This is a bit much. It's also the inevitable byproduct of having open bullpens like that. Yes, yes, you bought a ticket, you have the right to yell ... but man, points go to Percival for not throwing his glove at somebody....
The Tampa Bay Rays Educate You On The Fist Bump
Seriously, though, about those Rays: Remember back in March 2007, when Rays president Matthew Silverman amusingly bought himself a blogger fan? We mocked them — good-naturedly — back then, but the Rays are clearly on the right track, fanbase wise. If there's any way to bring fans into the Rays tent ...
Yankee Fans Even Hate Givers Of Life
Yes, bringer of life to the planet ... YOU SUCK! TRADE THE BUM!...
Please Don't Make Legends Wear Their Old Uniforms
Most frighteningly, as The Serious Tip points out, their collective voices sounds like ... well, an old friend....
To Live, Lose And Be Pummeled In L.A.
That's actually a substantial fight, one worthy of praise; had there been a game going on, they'd have broken it up so much sooner. We hope this was a run-of-the-mill dispute, the kind that happens when you file thousands of people into a confined space to watch the home team stink it up for three-p...
Congratulations, Stanley Cup Champion Detroit Red Wings
The NHL Closer is written by five people of European descent at Melt Your Face Off. We're not the first people to blog the Stanley Cup Finals, but Don Cherry still calls us "soft". So, for all you kids out there, Raskolnikov toughened up to recapitulate Detroit's clincher....
The Blog Show Takes One Step Closer To Critical Mass
Any sports personality who's established a serious level of online notoriety now has a must-stop to truly establish themselves as an internet mega-star: Mottram and Steinberg's "Blog Show." The Comcast D.C. mini-sodes have risen from the depths of cable access-style shlockyness to fascinating and en...
