Wisconsin Fans Fond Of Wearing "Eat Shit/Fuck You" T-Shirts To Nationally-Televised Football Games
This is apparently a whole thing for Wisconsin fans, alongside their prefab dancing to terrible rap songs.

Brent Musburger Bleeped By ESPN Censors After Saying Something Naughty

A.J. Pierzynski Has No Problem Calling Twins Pitcher Nick Blackburn A "Piece Of Shit" To His Face
A.J. Pierzynski is not the most popular ballplayer. This is, after all, the guy whose own manager said "If you play against A.J., you hate him. If you play with him, you hate him a little less." So should anyone really be surprised that upon scoring the tying run tonight against Minnesota, the Whi...

Atlanta Hawks Fans Are Not The Most Welcoming
Unlike many of my esteemed Deadspin colleagues, I am not blessed to live the Big Apple, a city of vogue fashion and style.
