On Tuesday, Jamie Woode, a member of the Orlando Magic cheerleading squad and "stunt team"—that's where they throw you around—fell during a between-quarter routine and landed on her head and neck, fracturing three vertebrae and breaking a rib.

Next Monday, Nov. 19, will mark one year since Florida A&M drum major Robert Champion was beaten to death while being hazed by members of the university's famed marching band, the Marching 100.

This Week's Signs Of The Apocalypse
For nearly two decades, Sports Illustrated has stirred the tea leaves to discern a weekly Sign of the Apocalypse. Deadspin salutes the magazine's ongoing effort to cover the end of times but declines to cede the scoop on the biggest event in world history....
As It Turns Out, Outdoor Basketball On A Hardwood Floor In November Is A Bad Idea
Last night, the daytime temperature in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina was 69 degrees, followed by a nighttime low of 34 degrees. If we understand condensation correctly, water droplets form on hard surfaces when the temperature of the surface drops below the dew point of the air which is in contac...

That Damn Marlins Fan Was Behind The Plate Again Last Night At The World Series
Perhaps you noticed a douchey-looking gent behind home plate during NLCS Game 7, wearing a bright orange Marlins jersey and Marlins visor worn sideways. If not, you definitely saw him in the same seat tonight, still wearing the Marlins shirt though in a panda hat (that he later changed to a differe...
This Florida Fan's Spooky Stare During Saturday's Game Might Be The Scariest Thing You See This Halloween Season
The Florida Gators rode a series of Gamecocks mistakes to a blowout win Saturday over South Carolina, but it seems not every fan in Gainesville was impressed by the performance. Here's one gentleman that despite being surrounded by excited young fans spends his time staring into the camera with a...
Florida Gators Coach Will Muschamp Can't Control The VOLUME OF HIS VOICE
The Florida Gators put a beating on South Carolina yesterday in what many expected to be the marquee match-up of the day. At halftime, the Gators were up 21-6, so local radio might reasonably have expected a positive and mellow interview from a pleasantly surprised Florida coach....
There's No Cheering In The Pressbox, So ESPN's Lee Corso Went Down To The Sidelines
Lee Corso's College GameDay schtick has for decades been his end-of-show prognostication of the day's feature game—usually involving his favored team's mascot. (Today he picked the hometown Gators to beat South Carolina, and even brought a baby alligator to the set.) But we mostly assumed his inte...
Little League Football Assistant Coach Viciously Slaps Referee After Disputed Call
Meet Dion Robinson: a 43-year-old ex-con and soon to be former assistant football coach in a youth football league in West Park, Florida—weird. Specifically, Robinson has been arrested over 12 times and has pled no contest to charges including "cocaine delivery, indecent exposure and unlawful use ...

ESPN Definitely Messed Up The Halftime Scoreboard For UK-Florida, But It's Not Because You Can't Score One Point
Yeah, that wasn't the score at all. It was 24-0, Florida, and we do not know why it said 17-1. However many of you wrote it in claiming that the score was not only incorrect, but necessarily incorrect, because a team could never have one point. Not so. It would take a blocked extra point, a recover...
The NHL Lockout's First Casualty: Florida Has Laid Off Mascot Stanley C. Panther
A work stoppage in sports, obviously, affects more than the players and owners. It takes a ton of people to make hockey go, from referees and broadcasters to concessionaires and janitors. And it's always the little guys who are first to go when the money stops rolling in....
Faceless Florida Gator Is Kind Of Horrific
The Florida Gators find themselves down a touchdown to rivals Tennessee in Knoxville tonight, and it seems one Gators player can't bear to show his face out of embarrassment—either that, or Will Muschamp tore it off in a fit of rage....
Florida State Didn't Cover Against Savannah State Because They Played With A Running Clock And Ended The Game Halfway Through
Yesterday, we talked about Savannah State football throwing itself on the altar of an increased budget for the school's athletic department; today, we see the absurd fallout that can result from a cupcake game no one is particularly invested in. The Tigers had been slaughtered 84-0 by Oklahoma State...
Ozzie Guillen Is Back On Twitter And As Crazy As Ever
On May 17, the last time Ozzie Guillén composed a tweet before his 3.5 month hiatus, the Marlins were celebrating a new stadium, a largely new team, a new manager, and new trippy home run celebration sculpture. So it seemed logical that Guillen would quit Twitter to focus on managing the Marlins. At...
