White People Make Us Laugh
More fun from the NFL Draft Combine: Vivid reminders that, as we all know and love from the world of comedy, black people are so much cooler than white people. This is quite vividly illustrated when they are stripped down to their underwear and asked to move around....
Humor Is Different In Australia, Apparently.
These two fellers are Central Coast Mariners, which is apparently an Australian Rules Football team. Shockingly, for Australians, they have somewhat, uh, a little trouble in the racial department. That guy on the right is in blackface. Really bad blackface, but blackface nevertheless. You think tha...
Kyle Orton Is Just Getting Warmed Up
Don't worry, folks: Deadspin Hall of Famer Kyle Orton isn't going anywhere: He'll be back in the Bears uniform next year....
GSTF Book Tour Stop: New York, New York
After the last month of madness, lunacy and a constantly clicking odometer, we were quite pleased to return to New York last night for the first of our two NYC readings to close this first tour leg out. Unfortunately, nobody took any pictures — or at least nobody sent us any — so instead we decided ...
About Last Night
What you missed while watching the funniest thing that Jimmy Kimmel has ever done ... • NHL: Fearless Forsberg returns to Avalanche, and all it took was $5 mil. Yay! • College basketball: Texas cannot be stopped, by anyone, ever. (May not apply to postseason play). • NFL: Michael Strahan considers r...
All Readings Should End With Tassels
All right, we're gonna head over to that reading thing now; to remind, it's right here. Because it's only 15 minutes or so from now, we're even gonna let ya know where the after-shindig is....
The NFL Network's Weekend Of Scantily Clad Men
We've said this before, but it bears repeating: The NFL Combine has always creeped us out. Call us old-fashioned, but we just can't muster the appropriate interest in recruiting and draft prospect stories. We like to see a guy show up on our team and then see how he fits in. We know: We're a geezer....
When You're Too Slow To Avoid The Zamboni
No, don't worry: A Pittsburgh Penguin did not get crushed on the ice. It's just what happens when a Zamboni's transmission fails, as reported by reader War Penguin, who was on the scene in Pittsburgh in its game against the San Jose Sharks. More action photos after the jump....
Get Ready For The Glory And Majesty That Is The 'Name Of The Year' tournament
It's like waking up the morning before the NCAA Basketball Tournament and discovering that your favorite team has lost its eligibility (*cough* Hoosiers! *cough*). That was my reaction when I found out this morning that Brian Suksomwong has been booted from the prestigious Name of the Year competiti...
Our Final Two Readings, NYC-Style
After the madness of the last month of our life, the first leg of the God Save The Fan tour ends over the next two nights in beautiful New York City, home of the bastard liberal media and hot dogs made of pig snout. It's Manhattan tonight, and Brooklyn tomorrow, and then we're gonna take a freaking ...
Bryant McKinnie, Back In The News, Thankfully
We will always hold a special place in our hearts for the four most prominent participants in the Vikings' sex boat scandal from a few years ago: Daunte Culpepper, Fred Smoot, Moe Williams and, today's featured star, Bryant McKinnie. Those guys have us so much enjoyment that we remain honored to hav...
Tiger Is Unstoppable
Tiger Woods just put away Stewart Cink record fashion at the WGC Match Play Final by a score of 8&7. What that means is that Tiger was leading by 8 holes with just 7 remaining in their 36-hole match. Although they never got anywhere near that 36th hole, Tiger managed to pile up 11 victorious holes t...
Russell Westbrook Gets Dirty On the Ducks
I still can't tell who was on the receiving end (thanks Nike), but I'm sure somebody has already started making fun of him....
What I Learned From the Combine
There's nothing quite like a sunny Sunday afternoon spent indoors at the computer while watching live coverage of the NFL Scouting Combine. I may not be off in football nerd heaven like FanHouse's MDS but I'm content with the high def broadcast accompanied by the dulcet tones of Rich Eisen and co. T...
Herm Edwards Is Optimistic, Stupid
The coins have been flipped and the NFL draft has it's official order. Atlanta was the big winner, winding up with the third overall pick, but that's not how Herm Edwards sees it. After Atlanta assured their spot immediately by winning the first flip, Herm seemed pretty cool with it....
The Volunteers and Tigers Are Delivering At FedEx
I'm back from the Wizards game and I'm actually in a good mood because they won. And hey, the Bobcats minus Gerald Wallace are tough! Since I've been back I've had a chance to catch up on this 1 vs. 2 matchup and frankly, it's even better than the Wizards and Bobcats. The action has been high paced ...
This Ends Badly
That's just fucked up. The man you see above, Arsenal's Eduardo Da Silva, is about to have his tibia and/or fibula poking through his sock. Needless to say, it's pretty brutal and because you might not want to see it, I'll just link to it after the jump, along with the non-crippling Premier League a...
The Kelvin Sampson Era Is Officially Over
Kelvin Sampson and the University of Indiana have reached an agreement that will pay the coach $750,000 to get the fuck out of Bloomington. The overzealous recruiter has also agreed not to sue the school for wrongful termination. Although the Hoosiers have rid themselves of Sampson they still have a...
