This Is The Face Of Pacers Fan Denial
Oh, sure, this is supposedly an image of Ryan Briscoe, the Aussie driver who will sit the pole for Sunday's Indy 500, but then a bespectacled Roger Sterling in a "Gold Swagger" t-shirt (which the real Roger Sterling would totally wear) decided he needed to be in on the fun. He also appears to have ...

This Nun In Field-Level Seats At Yankee Stadium Just Had To Take That Call On Her Flip Phone
After watching the video below, two thoughts immediately sprang to mind: Either God needs to upgrade his family plan, or the Angels really have to start giving their scouts better equipment....

This Brewers Fan Appears To Have Eaten A Lot Of Peanut Butta Jelly In His Time
Let's just quote CSN Bay Area's Andrew Baggarly here:...

Yankee Fans Think The Team's Play Of Late Has Been For The Birds
The Yankees fell to .500 after being shut out by the Kansas City Royals in the Bronx last night, but that hasn't stopped some fans from insisting the Yanks are #1....

Bobcats Facebook Poll Goes Poorly
Charlotte's official Facebook page put up a poll, which could have been fun. It was an inane question, sure—"what pick will the Bobcats get in the lottery"—but it could have been a window into the fanbase's level of pessimism. The Cats have the best odds, so anyone picking anything but "No. 1 overal...

People Actually Attend Baseball Game In Pittsburgh, Security Guard Loses Finger, Cop Injures Shoulder Slapping Woman
That's how the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported what went down Saturday night at PNC Park, at least in part. It started when 21-year-old Rachel George was allegedly smoking in her seat, which led to George being escorted to the ballpark's security office. But then George's boyfriend and father got i...

Umpire Bill Miller Has Bad Night, Gets Hit First By Brett Lawrie's Helmet And Then A Blue Jays Fan's Beer
In what's turning out to be a bad day for MLB umpires, Bill Miller—behind the plate for tonight's Rays-at-Jays matchup in Toronto—suffered the wrath of Brett Lawrie's helmet after the Blue Jays third baseman took issue with Miller's strike zone....

Clumsy Dodgers Fan Drops Foul Ball, Falls Onto Field, Knocks Over Beer
This poor joker just couldn't do anything right in his pursuit of a ball that was pretty much hit right at him. And to top it off, he was wearing a glove. Watching this, I half-expected to see O.J. Simpson stumble into a bear trap, trip into a wedding cake, and fall off a boat....

Devils Launch "Don't Sell Tickets To Rangers Fans" Campaign
Compared to the old place at the Meadowlands, the Prudential Center is clean and modern...and really, really easy to get to from New York City. This tends to lead to the Rock being lousy with Rangers fans, something that could get a little embarrassing come playoff time. So the Devils aren't going t...

Padres Fan Catches Foul Ball In Beer Cup, Chugs
OK, OK. As you can see in the video below, it wasn't a clean grab, since it's obvious the ball ricocheted into dude's cup. But so what? Both Padres play-by-play man Dick Enberg and his broadcast partner, Mark Grant, knew what had to be done. And, just like that, dude obliged....

Despite Hitting Four Home Runs, Josh Hamilton Could Not Secure A Majority Of The Player Of The Game Vote
In you were in the mood to have your head explode this morning, here you go. (Obviously this is the poll taken on the Baltimore MASN broadcast, which may be a measure of the grasp Orioles fans have on reality, or at least Orioles fans who possess cell phones.)...

The Story Of The 40 Phillies Fans Who Took A Bus To Nationals Park (And The 38 Who Returned)
There's a smoking section near the first-base gate of Nationals Park. On Saturday, it hosted a mixed batch of fans. You could tell who was whom by the lettering on their red-and-white gear....

Fans Are Not Permitted In The Fountains At Kauffman Stadium. This Fan Did Not Care.
When Humberto Quintero's home-run ball bounced over the heads of the fans in left-center yesterday afternoon, it wound up out of play for anyone hoping to snag a souvenir. But one audacious guy would not be deterred; he was unconcerned with fences, warning signs, or consequences of any sort. He kick...

And Here's A Woman Stumbling Out Onto The Court During Tonight's Nuggets-Lakers Playoff Game [UPDATE]
We're used to our idiots on the field being male and at baseball games, but stereotypes be damned! We had a woman try to join the action in Denver tonight as the Nuggets and Lakers wound down the first half of their Game Four matchup. ...
![There Was An Extra Tool In Today's Braves Tool Race, And This One Got Arrested [UPDATE]](https://images.deadspin.com/tr:w-900/Image_Not_Found_1x_qjofp8.png)
There Was An Extra Tool In Today's Braves Tool Race, And This One Got Arrested [UPDATE]
Like most ballparks, Turner Field hosts a silly race between costumed characters that represent some sponsoring interest. In the Braves' case, it's the Home Depot Tool Race. Today's Tool Race featured an extra competitor, a fan who raced in from center field and made it to the infield before being...

A Grizzlies Fan Put His Fingers Where They Don't Belong On Marc Gasol
This... this is not appropriate....

Atlanta Hawks Fans Are Not The Most Welcoming
Unlike many of my esteemed Deadspin colleagues, I am not blessed to live the Big Apple, a city of vogue fashion and style. The only reason I recognize the Chanel logo on this Hawks fan's bizarre t-shirt is because my grandmother has worn Chanel No. 5 for 60 years and we buy it for her every Christm...

You Can Lead A Baseball Fan In A Horse Mask To Beer, But You Can't Make Him Drink It
This video has nothing to do with ESPN, Sarah Phillips, or parody Twitter accounts. It has everything to do with baseball, beer, and horses. You know, the important stuff....

What's more impressive is that he actually tips it to himself. [MLB]...

They Tear Down Goalposts In Soccer, Too
Zenit St. Petersburg supporters went nuts after their team beat rivals Dynamo Moscow 2-1 Saturday to clinch a repeat Russian Premiership title, a victory gained despite being down a man for most of the second half. The thrill of victory led to the agony of jail for a handful of fans whose revelry g...
