This Is Not Buzz Williams
The Buzz Williams era at Virginia Tech got off to an inauspicious start when Virginia Tech welcomed the former Marquette coach by appending a picture of his former assistant—another cherubic bald man—to Williams's entry in the staff directory....
Mercer's Monty Brown Doesn't Remember Yesterday's Upset Over Duke
Mercer big man Monty Brown suffered a concussion yesterday and played only four minutes in the Bears' huge win over Duke. Brown was held out of the game after the hit you see above and will not play tomorrow. Rachel Nichols also reports that Brown can't remember anything about the game....
Patric Young Baits Pittsburgh Into Vicious Block
Patric Young just slow-played himself into an awesome block. Young let Pitt Guard James Robinson slide past him—watch how he is making an effort to hold his hands down—and once Robinson makes his move to the basket, Young swats the shit out of it from behind. ...
Wayne Rooney Scores Goal From 50 Yards Away
Wayne Rooney opened the scoring for Manchester United today with a long-range bomb reminiscent of Luis Suarez's goal for Liverpool two years ago, a 50-yard volley that left NBC's announcers almost at a loss for words. We're sure Rooney's West Ham opponents had a few, though....
Dude Has A Blast Distracting St. Louis At The Foul Line
I love this dude. He's just out there rockin' out and urging on the Wolfpack with his bleached blonde hair and dark shades. He's like a young Tawny Kitaen, only blonder and...dude-lier. ...
Bill Belichick Is Entirely Too Chilled Out
Button it up, Bill. You're making us nervous....
Hockey Fan Pounding On Glass Sent Flying From Check Into The Boards
This is from the Canadiens and Blue Jackets game in Montreal Thursday night. A fan, pounding on the glass, is absolutely hammered back into the seats when a Blue Jacket and Canadien collide in the exact same spot she was hitting. Amazing....
<i>This</i> Is The Worst March Madness Bracket Ever
Friday we showed you what was, until now, the worst March Madness bracket. This is now the worst bracket ever. How is that possible? It's perfect, you object. This is true. Brad has correctly picked all 32 games thus far. In fact, he is the only one on Yahoo to have managed this feat. But! He did no...
Hockey Fight Erupts In, And Around, The Benches
(Update: this is from last year, our bad.) Lost in the madness of March was this little gem from the AHL this week. A fight between the Rockford Ice Hogs and Chicago Wolves, in the final seconds of a 2-1 Hogs win, broke out basically in the Rockford bench and spread to surrounding area. ...
Classy Coach K Congratulates Mercer In Their Locker Room, With Class
Last night, reader Will sent the Deadspin staff this email, with the subject line "Dook":...
Ref Sends Off Wrong Man In Chelsea-Arsenal Match
Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain appeared to use his hand to deflect a shot that was, at the very least, near the goal today in Stamford Bridge. Eden Hazard one-timed a feed from Fernando Torres to the far side of the goal and Oxlade-Chamberlain must have just brain-farted because he dove and trie...
How To Make Sausage Gravy, And Shave A Few Years Off Your Lifespan
Sausage gravy is deeply, deeply disreputable food. In its typical presentation, slopped across biscuits in some charmingly run-down roadside diner with Patsy Cline playing on the jukebox, it is, in essence, flour on flour, dressed up as actual sustenance by the inclusion of token quantities of butte...
VCU Loses In Overtime Thanks To Bonehead Foul
This is crazy. VCU was up five with 30 seconds to play and managed to piss this game away, losing 77-75 in overtime to Stephen F. Austin. With 10 seconds, and a 67-63 lead, VCU missed two free throws. Whatever, right? The game is basically over. Let them take a shot, worst case scenario: they hit a...
Russell Westbrook Knocked Out Of Game With Knee Injury [UPDATE]
Russell Westbrook, whose knee injury kept him out of most of last year's NBA playoffs as well as numerous games this season, had to be helped off the court tonight in Toronto after suffering what the Thunder are calling a knee sprain. ...
UNC Fan In Primo Seats Lifts Jersey To Display "Fuck Duke" T-Shirt
This is no usual videobomb. No, this Tar Heels fan came prepared, with a "Fuck Duke" shirt on just for that one moment when he'd be on display behind Marv Albert and Steve Kerr. Fine job, gent....
CBS Announcer Andrew Catalon Drops "Polack" On Gonzaga Player
Gonzaga's Przemek Karnowski is from Poland. Late in the Bulldogs' 8-9 matchup with Oklahoma State today, he got fouled several times. CBS announcer Andrew Catalon decided to dub the Cowboys' strategy "Hack-A-Polack."...
Good Night, Sweet Buttfumble
You were never actually as terrible as you were in the worst times, nor as great as in the good ones. You were a Jets quarterback through and through, but now you are gone. Farewell, Mark Sanchez. You will be...remembered....
Jets Release Mark Sanchez, Sign Michael Vick
On the heels of the news that the fumble of the Buttfumble has been released, the Jets have signed Michael Vick. Adam Schefter says it's one year, $5 million. The timing of the announcements (Friday evening, in the middle of the NCAA tourney), and their quick succession, make you wonder if the Jets ...
