2014 Deadspin Hall Of Fame Inductee: Tommy Craggs
Tommy Craggs has left us to lord over every other Gawker Media site for the next year or so, after which he'll probably need work. After getting a big ol' boner in the quest to verify that Manti Te'o's dead girlfriend was indeed fake and turning Deadspin into a site for communist propaganda, he no...
Tommy Craggs Wants You To Be As Miserable As He Is
I've had the privilege of sitting next to Craggs for five years now (and working alongside him at ESPN The Mag for a year before that, though I don't think he once bothered to say hello or introduce himself—this generation's I.F. Stone wouldn't deign to pretend he was doing anything more than slummi...
Tommy Craggs Is A Communist
You're never going to get me to say anything bad about Tommy Craggs. The guy once sent me to Panama for a story and said nothing as I blew several deadlines in a row for it. He knew I fucked up, I knew I fucked up, and he knew that I knew that he knew I fucked up, and he said nothing, presumably in ...

Bears DB Arrested For DUI While Speeding To Parent-Teacher Conference
Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence around noon on Wednesday.

Gender Equity Is Not A Zero-Sum Game
The world of college sports reform can be divided into three camps. The first is the NCAA itself, which seems to want to change just enough to have everyone stop bashing it just for a little while. Then there are two opposing camps, both of which see the NCAA's centralized control of college sport...

An Ungodly Monster Of A Stout From Colorado
Last week I told all you big, dirty motherfuckers that we were getting off the imperial stouts for a few. You know, get our heads together, our resolutions set in stone, our children's names remembered, the whole deal. Ha. Check it out: I lied. People who write about beer for half a living will do t...
<i>Peaky Blinders </i>Is The Brutal British Gangster Saga For You
Right now, my wife is making it through both seasons of Peaky Blinders, the British TV show about warring 1920s gangs, for the second time. The big difference: This time, she's watching it with the subtitles on. She swears she'd missed entire plot threads the first time just through the sheer, dis...
Meet The Dunce Ex-Cop Who Fucked Up The NFL's Ray Rice Investigation
Throughout the coverage of the NFL's handling of Ray Rice, talk of the league's investigatory arm has for the most part presumed a certain level of competence. The NFL employs a number of former law enforcement agents, and has billions of dollars besides—it's got to be capable of getting any informa...
ACC Fires Karl Hess, College Basketball's Joey Crawford
You may not immediately recognize the name Karl Hess—though if you're an ACC fan you probably do—but if you've watched a college basketball game where a referee pulled some look-at-me funny business while misapplying the rules, there's a good chance it was Hess. There was the time he ejected Tom Gug...
The Kenny Hill Era Is Over At Texas A&M
Remember when quarterback Kenny Hill was going to make Aggies fans forget about Johnny Manziel? He even had a nickname—Kenny Trill—that rivaled "Johnny Football." Well, the sophomore's transferring to TCU, now....
Jerks Dick Kid Out Of A PS4 <i>Madden</i> Game For Being A Lions Fan
Everyone needs to shut up about the reversed pass interference call from last week's playoff game between the Cowboys and Lions, because the real travesty of the day occurred before the game even started....
Can The Chillest Runner In The U.S. Be The First To Make Five Olympics?
It's noon in Tucson, Ariz., and Abdi Abdirahman is making a spot of tea. The Black Cactus (having correctly ascertained that what distance running needs is more cowbell and monikers) is part way through an easy day. So, 12 miles, done. He's chill, he's happy, he's confident. What the hell's the matt...

Why Did The NYPD Clip This Japanese Marathoner?
Above is a screen shot of prolific Japanese runner Yuki Kawauchi making a break from the lead pack in the 2014 NYC Marathon, at about 18K, just past 11 miles.
