Here's 100 Japanese Children Playing Against A Professional Soccer Team
The best parts are the corner kick (1:44) and the goal (3:50). I always wondered about how this would work, whether skill could overcome large numbers. Would it be possible to put a group together of 8 NBA players that couldn't beat the Heat starting lineup? Can an outfield of the two best center ...
Tim Tebow Dreams Of A World In Which College Athletes Get Paid Enough To Buy Scooters And Eat At Outback
Tim Tebow was on the Daily Show last night with a brand new tagline: Author. If you haven't heard, by way of the book's trailer (this is a thing that is apparently done quite regularly now) or his Colorado-to-Florida book tour, the 23-year-old quarterback has released his first-quarter-of-life mem...
Tiny Child Inspires Us To Get Up Off Our Asses To Pwactice Widing A Bike
With the way cynicism travels through generations these days, we'll give him about six to eight years before he realizes that compared to the rest of life, riding a bike isn't really a big deal at all. But my god, what good cheer! Consider this cold heart (especially from someone who also struggle...
Shaq: One Of The Greatest To Ever Play And Star Of One Of The Most Awful Movies Ever Made
We shared a few good stories with you today, and so we will end Wednesday with nothing but whimsy, from the man who has perhaps the best innate understanding of whimsy in the game. Here is Shaq, at age 24, emerging from a magic boombox as a freestyling genie with the promise of three wishes in the...
Jimmer Will Be A Great NBA Player If You Let Him Shoot From 20 Feet Without Anyone Guarding Him
Jimmer Fredette, who is perhaps the ideal Indiana Pacer, had a pre-draft workout in Indianapolis today, and Pacers announcer Michael Grady took footage of his shoot-around. Behold the Jimmer, taking and making 15 straight set shots from behind the arc, then buckling just slightly, and closing out ...
"God Has A Plan For Us And We Will Be Fine. We Will Be Buckeyes Forever."

Here's Video Of A College Catcher Almost Throwing A Baseball Through A College Pitcher's Neck
When University of Florida catcher Mike Zunino flung the ball toward second base during yesterday's game against Georgia, it's not like he meant to nail his sophomore pitcher Brian Johnson behind the ear or anything. He just did....
German Women Adept At Milking Cows, Plowing Fields Vie For Calendar-Modeling Gig
Two hundred women applied but just 25 made the first cut. From there, the Hamburg Chamber of Trade will whittle down the list to determine who has what it takes to represent not only a nation, but a way of life, in the 2012 German Farm Girls Calendar....
This Memorial Day Weekend, Don't Forget To Prepare For The Penis Inspector
As far as we know, this isn't real. Carlmont High (Calif.) students don't have to "ensure that their penises are clean and orderly," nor do they have to procure a friend's pubes if they have trimmed their own. It's a senior prank, and a well-executed one at that....

Before you click play, know that she goes down on the final hurdle. The anticipation will be dreadful....
The Boom Goes The Dynamite Guy Tries His Hand At Intentional Comedy
This post is, of course, half public apology to the friends of Deadspin I may have offended last week, when I did not really know who Daniel Tosh was and, accordingly, did not give him due respect when Manny Pacquiao punched him in the face....
A Photo Of Dirk Nowitzki Astride Mark Cuban, Both Men Enjoying Themselves Immensely
This photo was taken circa 2001 by Sports Illustrated, a year after Mark Cuban bought the Mavericks and began reaching for the brass ring. Those were happy days. Magnolia flowers impregnated the Texas air with sweet perfume. Children gamboled by the Trinity River. And these cowboys loved each other....
Here's A Photo Of Every Single Tampa Bay Lightning Fan
All 800 of them, sending their beloved team off yesterday. Organized on Facebook (of course) and by the team (grassroots it is not), every single man woman or child that roots or ever rooted for the Lightning gathered in a parking lot at Tampa International Aiport and stood in the shape of a lightni...

Ja'Juan Story's Doodoo Story
This week, just by sharing two details about his pregame ritual on the site Gator Country, incoming Florida receiver Ja'Juan Story became the most interesting freshman football player in the nation.

And We'll End The First Day Of The ESPN Book Freakout With This Little Tidbit From The Intro
"Deadspin editor A.J. Daulerio felt he couldn't handle spending the entire day cozying to ESPN's big kahunas, so he dispatched "Blazer Girl," the blog's answer to Lois Lane, to cover the event. If Daulerio is hoping she will go all Woodward and Bernstein on ESPN, however, he's going to be disappoint...
Now They're Making Fun Of Jay Cutler In The Wisconsin Senate Race
Poor Jay Cutler. Jay Cutler did not ask for any of this. He did not ask to be born with the most hangdoggery hangdog face of all time. He did not ask for you to question his toughness. And he did not ask to become the punchline in the Wisconsin Senate Race. But that is what has happened....
LeBron, Wade, Bosh "Human Centipede" Sign Too Gross For Display Inside United Center
But according to CB Probasco, artist and season ticketholder, the sign was a big hit outside the arena. Suggested headline from Brett, another participant, was "FEED HER! Taj Gibson Certainly Did," but I didn't want to ruin this poster with that haunting imagery. Too late, I guess....
