Designated Shitters: Help Deadspin Plumb The Secrets Of MLB Restrooms

Everyone Trying To Undermine Bobby Valentine
Beyond Lester, Beckett and Buchholz, the Red Sox rotation was up in the air. Would it be Daniel Bard, once the closer-in-waiting, now being stretched out to be a starter? Alfredo Aceves, the Yankees cast-off who can start, relieve or close? A guy named Felix Doubront? This being the Red Sox, and thi...

What The Astrodome Looks Like After Sitting Untouched And Rotting For A Decade
The Eighth Wonder of the World hasn't been used since the rodeo moved next door to Reliant Stadium in 2003.

Andrew Bynum Is Disgruntled
Andrew Bynum attempting a three on a meaningful possession was funny to most of us, hilarious even. Bynum pouting on the bench and refusing to join the huddle was even better. A mutinous Lakers star pulling a power move on his hapless coach, and Kobe Bryant wasn't involved? The Lakers are the best....
Baylor Assistant Damion McKinney Wore A Tablecloth As A Necktie To The National Championship
I believe that's Baylor women's assistant coach Damion McKinney as spotted before last night's 80-61 victory that capped off a 40-0 season for the lady Bears. I have no idea what he is wearing as a necktie. Did he eat at Red Lobster and forget to remove his bib? Was he arguing before the United Sta...
Josh McRoberts Hit One Of The Weirder Buzzer-Beaters You're Going To See
A behind-the-back crossover/spin combo buzzer-beater isn't all that impressive when Dwyane Wade or Derrick Rose pull it off, but when it's reserve Lakers frontcourter Josh McRoberts, you pay attention—for a few seconds, at least. He really does exhibit some solid ball control, but it mostly serves...
An Ugly High School Baseball Brawl In Which Nobody Looks Good (NSFW)
