Lonnie Chisenhall Hits Walk-Off Single, Is Thanked By Teammates With An Attempted Cornholing
Not entirely sure what's going on here. After leading his team to victory with a walk-off hit last night, Cleveland Indians third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall was treated to a rather odd celebratory scrum....
The Scab Refs Still Suck, And Roger Goodell Is Still A Hypocritical Shitstain
On Aug. 31, just a week or so prior to the kickoff of the new season, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell sent out a "note" to the public that was essentially a press release, a reminder to you, the NFL viewing public, that the league was going balls-out on player safety:...
Steelers 27, Jets 10: In Two GIFS
The Steelers slowly bludgeoned the Jets. It was over well before, but Isaac Redman trucked what was either a terrible or exhausted defense in the fourth quarter and this one was never really in doubt. Mark Sanchez followed up his fine season opener in his usual characteristically inconsistent manne...
Bengals 34, Browns 27: The Game In Two GIFs
Some primo running in this one—and actually some primo passing too, and generally good football playing all around. It's like Sean always says (this morning), "it's these god-awful looking games that become the most compelling." This one wasn't the most compelling, but if you like long runs to the e...
Eagles 24, Ravens 23: The Game In Three Gifs
A dogfight between cities on I-95 that just plain hate each other. It showed:...
Tom Coughlin Yells At Greg Schiano Because Tom Coughlin Yells At People
At the end of the game, Eli Manning took a knee to run out the clock and end the game. The Tampa Bay defense pushed hard and knocked Eli over. Manning thought it was a cheap shot....
Goalie Can't Make Save, Can Dive Face First Into Goal Post
New York Red Bulls teammates Thierry Henry and Dax McCarty hooked up for a nice goal off an Henry corner kick in the Red Bulls 3-1 win over the Columbus Crew. Poor Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum made a hell of an effort to stop it, but he came up short....

NFL Removes Replacement Referee Assigned To New Orleans Saints Game Because He Is A Saints Fan
Chris Mortensen reported this one and it is truly amazing. Brian Stropolo is an NFL replacement side judge, for now, who was scheduled to officiate the New Orleans Saints-Carolina Panthers game this afternoon. Brian Stropolo is also a huge Saints fan— and I mean, huge. Check out his facebook. If he'...
Beer Of The Week: Hoptimus Prime
The further we get from the '80s, the less defensible the hero-toys look. G.I. Joes might've delivered creepily timed PSAs - oh, don't mind Doc hanging around outside your bathroom window, kiddos - but in setting up a reflexively force-oriented response to terroristic threats probably helped set the...
Arkansas' Season-Long Nightmare Is In Full Swing
Against Arkansas today, Alabama covered the over (51 points) without allowing Arkansas to score. This is a difficult thing to accomplish. Vegas didn't see it coming - the last line I saw was Arkansas +20.5 - but at least two Razorbacks fans knew this one was going to be the college football equivale...

Deadspin's Sign Of The Apocalypse

Cal's Brendan Bigelow Threw His Hat Into The Ring For Play Of The Day With This 81-Yard Touchdown Run
Ohio State has mostly dominated today's ABC game in Columbus against the Cal Golden Bears, but Brendan Bigelow helped narrow the lead to 20-14 with this exceptional run that involved several spins, a juke, and a few stumbles. We're sure that's just how Jeff Tedford drew it up. [ABC]...
Remember Ian Beckles? Neither Do We, But He Got Arrested Last Night For Drunkenly Touching A Horse
Ah, Ian Beckles. Ian Beckles, Ian Beckles, Ian Beckles. Ian Beckles, Ian Beckles. Who the fuck is Ian Beckles?...
643 Rushing Yards And 10 Touchdowns Make For A Pretty Solid Birthday
What was your eighteenth birthday like? Mine was my first day of college: After four hours by car (we got lost), uncomfortable goodbyes, and eons of totally disorienting orientation activities, I went to a party and lost in beer pong, without hitting a cup, to two girls. I don't specifically recall ...
Ozzie Guillen Thinks ESPN's Buster Olney Is "Full Of Shit"
Today ESPN's Buster Olney published this (Insider-only) post questioning whether the Marlins' not meeting attendance projections could be blamed on Ozzie Guillen (and not, say, the team's utterly disappointing performance this year). Olney even opened the door for Guillen to be fired after the seas...
Pythagoras, Meet Hippocrates: Kevin Gregg's Season Was The Opposite Of Lucky
This afternoon, the Baltimore Orioles released reliever Kevin Gregg. On Tuesday, the team had designated him for assignment. That night, they went out and beat the Tampa Bay Rays 9-2, moving into a tie for first place in the American League East. They beat Tampa Bay again the next night, and again ...
