Hulk Hogan Retweeted Gentleman Because He "Went Balls Deep" On His Daughter Brooke
Generally speaking, the practice of asking for a retweet should be frowned upon as the last resort of the pathetic, but there are exceptions to every rule. One need not look any further than this masterpiece of random craziness....
ESPN's Brad Daugherty Promos NBA Playoff Game As "Paul Pierce & The Celtics Vs. LeBron James & The Officials"
ESPN analyst Brad Daugherty is one of the network's best NASCAR minds, but it was in basketball that he originally made his fortune. Thus, the NASCAR Countdown studio crew handing the reins for the promo reader of tomorrow night's Eastern Conference Finals game over to Daugherty was probably obvio...
LaMarcus Aldridge Rushed To Hospital With "Deadly" Blood Virus, Writes LaMarcus Aldridge
While he has been rehabbing from hip surgery in May, LaMarcus Aldridge has been posting on his blog called LA's Rehab Central, part of the Trail Blazers Bloggers Network. The other two posts on the blog are quick updates about how his rehab is progressing. They are pretty innocuous posts along the ...
Bubba Watson Involved In Menacing Late-Night Car Chase
So this is a weird one, and it's from Ohio. Bubba Watson was in Columbus this week for the Memorial Tournament—a tournament for which he did not make the cut. But he has a pretty good excuse: for 37 minutes Tuesday night, some unknown driver chased a car carrying Watson, his wife and newly adopted ...
Florida's Jonathon Crawford Threw The First Postseason No-Hitter In 21 Years Last Night
#1 Florida's opening-round NCAA tournament game against Bethune-Cookman proved history-making, as sophomore pitcher Jonathon Crawford no-hit the Wildcats for the Gators' first solo no-hitter since May 23, 1991—when John Burke kept Furman hitless....
Johan Santana No-Hit The Cardinals, Carlos Beltran Still Pissing Off Mets Fans
Johan Santana threw the first no-hitter in New York Mets history last night and, of course, it all hinged on Carlos Beltran. In the top of the sixth, Beltran hit a rocket down the third base line that was ruled foul and was clearly fair. It would be much ado about nothing, since these things happen...
Michelle Beadle's Final Day At ESPN Included A Licking From Mackerel Jordan
The very first time Deadspin mentioned Michelle Beadle, it was to feature a video of her being eaten by inflatable ZOOperstars mascot Mackerel Jordan. It's fitting, then, her departure from ESPN (a nine minute long staged ceremony that was equal parts sweet and contrived) had her saying goodbyes to...
Which Mets Player's Dong Did SNY Broadcast After Santana's No-Hitter? (NSFW)
SNY went justifiably nuts after Johan Santana pitched the Mets' first no-hitter, and the team's flagship network took advantage of the occasion to interview various Mets players about the feat. So here's a clip of their interview with pitcher R.A. Dickey, during which an unidentified dong emerges ...

Aroldis Chapman's Stripper Friend Can't Get Her Story Straight About That Hotel Room Robbery
Remember that story the other day about Aroldis Chapman's Pittsburgh hotel room being robbed while he was across the river at the Reds-Pirates game? Remember how it involved a woman in the room who was found bound by her hands and screaming shortly after the robbery occurred? Weird, right? Well, now...
The NFL Reportedly Has A Detailed Bounty Payout List Kept By The Saints
All along the Saints—particularly the litigious Jonathan Vilma—have called upon the NFL to release whatever evidence they collected in investigating the Saints bounty scandal. This isn't that release, but if it's one of those "official leaks," it's just as good. Apparently the Saints kept a ledger t...
Ridley Scott: What's The Big Idea?
Next Friday, Prometheus opens, and it promises to be this summer's big sci-fi film. The ad campaign has been incredibly effective, and the movie features a great cast, including Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender.

Immediately After A 38-Shot Rally, One Tennis Player Collapses And The Other Vomits
Richard Gasquet hit an overhead winner to end a 56 second-long point with Grigor Dimitrov in their French Open second round match today.

Soccer Fan Invades Pitch, Joins Match, Scores Goal
Most pitch invaders (and Idiots On The Field in general) earn a quick bouncing by security officials, but that isn't what happened Wednesday night in Montenegro as a supporter of FK Budućnost Podgorica leapt onto the field in the final moments of his side's league-clinching match against FK Lovćen...
Reds Third Baseman/Superhero Todd Frazier Has Been Crafting His Legend For Years
You already know about Todd Frazier's mythical ability to hit home runs without the use of his hands, as well as his unmatched heroism in the face of murderous chunks of steak, but did you know that Todd Frazier has been making a legend of himself since he was a child?...
