Dan Le Batard Horrifies You The Most
Congratulations to Dan Le Batard, who you say has the most terrifying ESPN: The Magazine mugshot. It was a tight race, with Le Batard — who was joking about the mugshots and this poll on his radio show yesterday, quoting from several of our great commenters — edging out Stuart Scott (who actually ...
Poll: Scariest ESPN Mag Mugshots
Yesterday, we tried to figure out what was going on with Bill Simmons' ridiculous mugshot in ESPN: The Magazine. Well, now we've got copies of all four main mugshots in the magazine, and they're inexplicable. And horrifying. Take a look at them below, and let us know which one makes you want to c...

To answer your question, yes, we did watch the Oscars last night, and since we think Crash is aggressively awful, we weren't going to bring it up today....

Is it possible to ever get tired of the Vikings sex boat story? We think it's not. We're pretty sure, actually....
Just Another Way To Celebrate A Duke Loss
All kinds of glee around college basketball this morning, because ding dong, Duke has lost. We always notice a bit of a buzz around this here Web world the morning after a Duke loss; the sun's a little brighter, the grass is a little greener, so on....
Yeah, Damon Back At Fenway Should Be Fun
A reader, calling himself (ominously) "the Hector Villanueva Posse," writes in from Boston to give us this photo of Johnny Damon memorabilia being drastically cut down in price in Boston....
Vince Young, Meet David Beckham
Here's international soccer superstar David Beckham on helping his son Brooklyn (?) with his homework....
Today In College Hoops...
UConn just put their thing down against Villanova this afternoon, winning by a score of 89-75 and avenging their earlier loss to the Wildcats. This is probably as much talent as is possible to put on one college basketball floor at one time this year. UConn's talent, however, is much taller....
Darko, Freed and Shorn
You see that? Gone are the frosted sissy-locks of the old Darko. The new Darko has a buzzcut. It's not just a new style. It's symbolic. Military. High and tight. Bad ass. Oozing masculinity. That is the hairstyle of a man who will not be stopped....
Now That Was Just Cruel
OK, we were nearly finished — halfway out the door to greet the remains of the day — when a final, fateful e-mail popped into view. We feel we have suffered enough today, what with the Johnny Weir topless photos, "The Pizzle's" French rap technique and unrelenting abuse from Nova Scotia residents....
Shani Davis Is Huge in Holland
Nearly lost in the hullaballoo (I've never used that word before, and I have no idea why I'm starting now) of the Chad Hedrick/Shani Davis post-race news conference yesterday, is the fact that members of the Dutch curling team showed up for the sole purpose of heckling Chad Hedrick. In turn, I sup...
Announcements: Tuesdays With A.J.
'Mornin. A.J. Daulerio back again for more Deadspin access-less, favor-less, indiscretion. We're 3/4 through the Will Leitch Caribbean Floating Adventure and he'll be happy to know that he's missed nothing while he was gone. The NBA All-Star Game was the uninspired half-court alley oop-fest it was s...
The House of Mirrors That is the Mind of Barry Bonds
What would we see if we could step into the mind of Barry Bonds? The Mad Hatter would be hosting a tea party in there, certainly. Posters of Gilbert Gottfried and Prof. Irwin Corey on every wall. Fantastic creatures would abound — animals not found in nature, such as a spiny jackrabbit, and a half...
Speedskating Beef
The issues between U.S. speedskaters Chad Hedrick and Shani Davis continue to garner attention. I mentioned it briefly yesterday, but the story's picking up a little steam, and hopefully has the potential to develop into a Harding/Kerrigan situation. If things continue on this path, one is going t...
The Deadspin Daytona 500 Preview...
...is going to be non-existent, because I just don't care. I apologize, but I am woefully inadequate to prepare any kind of a Daytona preview that doesn't make me seem like an elitist prick. The only way I'm going to watch is if Shani Davis comes out of nowhere to take the lead on lap 198 on a pai...
Nate Robinson, Controversy, Abound
We can't even have an All-Star Saturday Night without officiating controversy anymore. Last night in the Sprite Rising Stars Slam Dunk Contest, 5'9" Nate Robinson took down Andre Iguodala, but not without one of the biggest and most important officiating controversies of our time. Or, maybe not....
A Differing View On Davis' Trip Into The Stands
Deadspin reader Tom Malkin was in a section right by Antonio Davis' wife during the incident at the United Center last night, and he has a very different take on what actually happened prior to Davis' stomp upstairs. Here's an excerpt:...
What Really Happened In The Stands? Nothing.
As most of you have probably already seen this morning, Knicks forward Antonio Davis ran into the stands last night in Chicago to "protect his wife from an intoxicated fan." Davis said, "I saw him touch her, and I know I should not have acted the way I did, but I would have felt terrible if I didn...
