Dez Bryant May Have Shoved His Own Mother [Update]

POTUS And FLOTUS Showed Some PDA To Team USA
President Obama brought the family to watch Team USA's exhibition against Brazil, one that ended up being a lot more interesting than expected as the American squad found itself in an early hole only to pull out an 80-69 victory....
Penn State's Student Ticket Campout Group Will No Longer Be Called Paternoville
Penn State students have pitched tents outside Beaver Stadium in order to score the best seats for that week's football game for nearly 20 years. Starting with the 2005 home game against Ohio State, the name of that tent city became known as Paternoville, and it was eventually recognized by the univ...
Chris Webber Refers To Ron Jeremy Instead Of Ron Burgundy During NBA Summer League Broadcast
Not sure what about this I like best: Webber making the mistaken Anchorman reference at the 22-second mark, the nearly 10 seconds of awkward silence until he corrects himself, or the minute-plus the rest the broadcast crew then spends laughing at him. It's a hard one....
Drew Brees Says He Never Cared About Being The NFL's Highest Paid Player
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Brees may not have angled for it, but he got it anyway....
The Patriots Want Rob Gronkowski To Stop Being Rob Gronkowski
From the moment he hit the dance floor in the hours after the Super Bowl, we've loved everything about Rob Gronkowski's offseason. The last five months have been such a sweaty blur of shirtlessness and beer-stained Zubaz, we never really gave much thought to how The Gronk Show was being received by ...
Triathlete Hospitalized After Otter Attack
So, here's reason #245 we'll never attempt a triathlon: angry otters. A Minnesota woman was practicing for next month's Duluth Triathlon in a nearby lake, when she was set upon by an adorable furry little daggertoothed killing machine....
Why Your Team Sucks 2012: Oakland Raiders
Some people are fans of the Oakland Raiders. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Oakland Raiders. This 2012 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read the other Why Your Team Sucks 2012 previews here....

Ozzie Guillen is upset about something or other, bemused sources tell exhausted beat reporters. Also Bryce Harper did something with something and something something professional something something respect for the game....
Can Seattle Support Any More Sports Teams?
It's more or less assumed that if Chris Hansen and Seattle can build a new arena, the reincarnated Sonics would return. It's probably just a matter of time before the NHL tries its hand in the American Cascadia. Seattle is a wonderful sports town and is unrepresented in two of the four major sports,...
Report: Three More Men Say Jerry Sandusky Abused Them In The 1970s Or '80s
It won't end, will it? Sara Ganim has the details, and she has two sources who told her police have been informed of the new allegations, which would be the first from before the 1990s. Basically, this still isn't close to being finished:...

Jeremy Lin's Contract Could Cost The Knicks $58 $43 Million In Year Three [UPDATE]
From a purely basketball standpoint, there are very few fans and GMs who would take Raymond Felton over Jeremy Lin (and Jared Jeffries!). But Houston's offer sheet to Lin, with that massive $15 million salary in the third year, makes this about a lot more than basketball, or Linsanity. As the Knicks...
A Toothbrush-Wielding Red Sox Fan Was Ejected From Tropicana Field This Weekend
There are myriad ways to earn ejection from a major league ballpark, and most of them are punctuated by overconsumption of alcohol. That appears to be the cause of this incident from Saturday's Red Sox-Rays game in St. Pete, as a Red Sox fan quickly found herself parked outside after a bizarre int...
The Paterno Family Will Conduct Their Own Non-Biased Investigation
To the Paterno family, the Freeh Report was merely the scribblings of an Inquisitor, a series of "opinions and interpretations [presented] as if they were absolute facts." Which is a shame, because for $6.5 million, seven months, hundreds of interviews and millions of records, you would have hoped f...
Olympics Field Guide: Jordan Burroughs: The Best Wrestler In The World Who Isn't Afraid To Say It
Name: Jordan Burroughs...
Chone Figgins Is Bad At Cheating, Too
Let's start with the good: Chone Figgins was on base! Twice, actually! In a rare start, he went 0-1 with two walks, lowering his average to .185. Look, that's as much "good" as you're going to get. As put by Lookout Landing, who's also responsible for this wonderful gif,...
Reds Prospect Billy Hamilton's Legend Continued After Hitting This Inside-The-Park Homer
The story of this minor league season has been Reds shortstop prospect Billy Hamilton, who after stealing 104 bases in 82 games with the Bakersfield Blaze, earned a call-up to the AA Pensacola Blue Wahoos. (He also turned some heads during the All-Star Break Futures Game along the way.)...
Minor League Mascot Eats It In ATV Crash
Rip Tide, blue fursuited embodiment of the Triple A Norfolk Tides, was out for his usual four-wheeler cruise around the stadium when he took the right field turn a little too sharp. Rip Tide was unharmed but embarrassed (especially when he couldn't get his ATV running again), and I think The Oriol...
Ozzie Guillen May Wish To Avoid Taking Managerial Advice From Tinfoil Hat Guy
Ever-profane Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen got himself into a bit of hot water Sunday as his gripes about Nats rookie Bryce Harper's bat drew the ire of home plate umpire Marty Foster. Foster told Guillen to shut his trap about what the Miami skipper felt was too much pine tar on Harper's stick, af...
Tim Tebow Refuses To Do Book Signing For Christian Book Store Near Jets Training Camp
The New York Jets will kick off their 2012 training camp schedule at SUNY Cortland on July 26, 2012. Excitement is high in the city for the month-long economic/notoriety boon. Even more so than usual because, OHMIGODTIMTEBOW. He's on the Jets, remember?...
