What Did We Get Stuck In Our Rectums Last Year?
It is time for a Deadspin holiday tradition like no other: our annual trawl of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's database of emergency room visits to discover the strangest, unlikeliest, and most awkwardly shaped objects America inappropriately shoved into its various holes. God bless us...
75-Yard Miracle Play Ruined By Failed Two-Point Conversion
This is perhaps the greatest college football play any of us have ever seen, and it was all for naught as Central Michigan went for two, and a 36-point comeback, and failed. CMU was down 49-14 at one point, and this play left the final 49-48—again, because they went for the win and didn't get it....

Andrew Wiggins Dunking On Him Is A Metaphor For Kevin Love's Season
Andrew Wiggins had one of his best game as a pro tonight against the team that drafted him first and then traded him away, punctuating his 27 points with this thundering tomahawk jam that Kevin Love—who Wiggins was traded for—wanted no part of. Of course, the Timberwolves lost by 20 because they a...

Pats Fan At Jets Game Gets Nachos Dumped All Over Him In Fight
We aren't sure the context here, but it appears our brave Patriots fan—not only did he venture out to Jets country, he did so while sporting his customized team hoodie, which reads "God Maserati"—was being escorted out of the stadium by security when some Jets fans began to taunt him. Mr. Maserati...
The Year In Sports Fans: The Good, The Bad, And The Bills

Man, Did Anthony Davis Whomp The Shit Out Of The Thunder Or What
There's no one particularly SportsCenter-y highlight from Anthony Davis's 38-point, 12-rebound, three-block eruption against Oklahoma City last night. He didn't block all three shots in one leap; or tear the entire backboard off the stanchion with a dunk; or, like, spike a dead-on-arrival Kendrick ...
Man Licks His New Jordans During Local News Report On Shoe Release
Ohio's ABC 13 brings us this report on a Jordan 11 release rescheduled to Saturday because of an unruly crowd on Wednesday. Paul Moses was the local news protagonist who bought the shoes at the Franklin Park mall that morning, and he applauded the police's approach on Saturday as being much better t...
Michael Vick Says Jameis Winston Is The 'Future Of The NFL'
New York Jets quarterback Michael Vick had some kind words for embattled Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, who could very well end up with New York in the draft. Here's what Vick had to say, via NJ.com: ...
Houston TV Station Uses <i>NBA2K </i>Screenshot To Report Troy Daniels Trade
The Rockets traded Troy Daniels to the Timberwolves today for Corey Brewer and a draft pick, and Houston Fox affiliate KRIV reported on it during tonight's news. They didn't use an actual photo of Daniels, though; they used a screen shot from the NBA2K video game instead, for some reason....

Behold Drunkspin's 2014 Bastard Of The Year
As we wind down the most successful year in Drunkspin's long and storied history of being your no. 1 source for under-informed beer reviews and gratuitous Yuengling hatred, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and, at the same time, apologize for violating your trust....
Sony Totally Caved On <i>The Interview</i>, And Now We're All Screwed
Monday night, Seth Rogen was a guest during the final week of The Colbert Report. Ordinarily, he isn't much of a "get," in talk-show parlance—he's funny, sure, but he always makes the rounds when he has a new movie, no big deal. But this was the first (and probably only) time that his appearance h...
Michael Vick Is Learning To Live Boat-Free
Here's a story on how Michael Vick has paid off an extraordinary amount of debt over the last five years—more than $15 million of the $17.8 million he owed creditors upon declaring for bankruptcy while in prison on dogfighting charges. It's a window on Vick's responsibility—which has, by all account...
Anchor Christmas Ale 2014: Great Tradition, Mediocre Year
My family is woefully short on Christmas traditions.

But we like kids and Christs just fine, and everybody likes days off in the middle of the ...
