Kevin Durant's Back Tattoo Has A Misspelled Word In It
Kevin Durant finally got around to finishing the massive back tattoo that he's been adding to over the years, and he posted a picture of a the finished product to his Instagram page. Impressive! But, um, that's not how you spell "mature."...
La Vida Macho
In case you missed it, peep Paul Solotaroff's terrific Men's Journal piece on the late Hector "Macho" Camacho. Solotaroff manages to capture the mishegoss and absurdity that was Camacho's life with empathy and humor. The story plays it straight when it could easily have become a mean, one-note take ...

Top Billin
Few people, if any, have written better stories—funny and smart—about college football than Dan Jenkins. Last fall, Michael MacCambridge was good enough to make Jenkins' 1963 Sports Illustrated piece, "The Disciples of St. Darrell on a Wild Weekend" part of his excellent Director's Cut series for Gr...
Jakub Voracek Smashed Up His Ferrari
The 23-year-old Flyers winger is uninjured after crashing into a truck, a tree, and finally a telephone pole in an accident in his native Czech Republic this morning....
The Wall Is In Bryce Harper's Head
After Bryce Harper clumsily ran face-first into the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium, we were assured—by Harper himself and others—that the incident would not prevent Harper from “playing hard” in the future. Those assurances may have been given a bit hastily....
Brian Urlacher Announces His Retirement
After a 13-year career as one of the most feared linebackers in the NFL, Brian Urlacher has decided to call it quits rather than play for a team other than the Bears....
Sorry, Wrong Number
I woke up this morning, turned on my phone and checked last night's scores. I do this most every day and am reminded of how I used to get in trouble as a kid for calling up 976-1313, the sports phone line in New York. I'd sneak it whenever I could because up-to-the-minute scores were hard to come by...
Matt Bonner And Zach Randolph Give Us The Best Jump Ball Of All Time
This was absolutely the highlight of last night's Grizzlies-Spurs game. There's just something refreshing about watching two NBA players flail around like a couple of hapless rec leaguers. I hope every remaining game in this series features multiple jump balls between Randolph and Bonner, each endin...
The Cavs Are Willing To Trade The First Overall Pick
The Cavaliers beat the odds—a 15.6 percent chance, third-best in the lottery—to land the 2013 first overall pick. But the consensus top pick has questions, and he's not particularly what Cleveland needs. It would make all the sense in the world for the Cavs to trade down from No. 1, something that h...

Jalen Rose Says Tony Allen's Flop Was Worthy Of A Pulitzer Prize
When Manu Ginobili hit Tony Allen with a flagrant foul late in last night's Grizzlies-Spurs game, Allen engaged in a truly fantastic bit of theater by pretending that Ginobili's foul had caused him to slam his head against the floor. It was a flop for the ages (which doesn't change the fact that th...
Mike Trout Was Born To Hit For The Cycle
It's almost surprising that it took Mike Trout this long—his 224th career major league game—to hit for the cycle. But this generation's prototypical five-tool player rectified that last night, and finished it off in style....
Spurs Beat Grizzlies; All Anyone Cares About Is "We Did It" Guy
Memphis came back from a mighty deficit to force overtime in San Antonio (thanks to a questionable late flagrant foul call) but couldn't pull out the victory. It led one fan nearby to issue quite the verbal ejaculation. Deadspin I-Team, assemble....

LA Kings Tweet Out Rape Joke [UPDATE]

Sergio Garcia Makes Tiger Woods "Fried Chicken" Joke, Apologizes
For over a week now, we've had to talk about this weak golf "feud" between Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods which started in 1999 and got heated, or at least slightly warm, a week and a half ago. Garcia hit a terrible shot on a par-5 second hole at The Players Championship, and blamed Woods for the mis...

The Memphis Grizzlies Are Struggling Tonight
San Antonio's leading Memphis by 15 at the half, but even given the Grizzlies' struggles that's a bit of surprise; neither team has looked especially good tonight....
