"Look At Me, Mr. Fucking Howdy Doody!": Wyoming Head Coach Goes On Hilarious Rant After Loss To Air Force
Last Saturday, Wyoming lost a conference game to Air Force by a score of 28-27. It was a tough loss for the Cowboys, as they squandered a 10-point halftime lead.

Those Ads On NBA Jerseys Might Not Be Happening Just Yet
When the NBA indicated this summer that it was nearing a deal to put advertisements on its uniforms, in the form of two-inch-by-two-inch patches on the shoulder, we figured it was putrid but inevitable. But mostly we figured it was impending. Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said not one single owner...
Yankees: Derek Jeter's Injury Tied To Steroid Use. No, Seriously.
The Yankees used injections of the steroid cortisone to keep Derek Jeter playing through a cascade of ankle injuries, culminating in his crippling on-field fracture in Game One of the American League Championship Series, according to manager Joe Girardi.

<em>NBA 2K13</em> Leaks The New OKC Jersey, And It's Spelled "Thudner"
Video games seem to be the new way to leak NBA jerseys, and it's probably not intentional. The league has to share the designs with 2K Sports so they can be in the game and ready for its release date, long before the "official" unveiling. We've seen it with Brooklyn, we've seen it with the tweaked K...
Bengals Cheerleader Pleads Guilty To Sexing Up High School Student, Leaves Courthouse With Him
Sarah Jones has had a busy couple of years. In 2010, the former Ben-Gal (ugh) attempted to sue TheDirty.com for claiming she was riddled with STDs from sleeping with Cincinnati players. That was good! (Although her lawyer mistakenly sued the wrong company, so she was unable to collect.) In December ...
Arizona's Three Losses Are The Worst Three Losses In College Football
Candidate for most crud-awful season in football this year: the Arizona Wildcats. Started 3-0, including handsome win over Oklahoma State team to get expectations buzzing. The Associated Press ranked the Cats for the first time since 2010. Next came a 56-0 paste job of South Carolina State. Oats wer...

Nike's New NFL Uniforms Are Too Damn Tight: "It Looks Like You Ate A Small Baby"
It's got to be tough for NFL offensive linemen, whose entire vocation, at least more than any other position on the field, is dependent on how much they weigh. If you're skinny, you won't ever be an offensive lineman. It's their duty to stay as large as possible, for the sake of their livelihood. Pr...

Dallas Braden, Anti-Crime Crusader, Told Police "I'm A Multi-Millionaire And I Pitch For The Oakland A's. I Pay Your Fucking Salary."
A's pitcher Dallas Braden caused a scene at a public meeting last week, brandishing a baseball bat and yelling about the high crime and lax police response in his hometown of Stockton, Calif.

Welcome Back, "30 For 30": In Praise Of ESPN's Documentary Series
When Will Leitch started Deadspin, his guiding principal—beyond a belief that he could get the whole world to refer to the Arizona Cardinals as the Buzzsaw—was that sports, in the grand scheme of things, aren't that important. Yes, there's lots of money spent on them, and when your team wins the Wor...

Is A Quota The Answer For Reining In Hockey Fights?
Fighting! Few serious fans of hockey think it doesn't have a place in the sport. But then, no serious fans think this bullshit belongs either. How, then, to separate the meaningful fighting for legitimate purposes—enforcement, deterrence, stimulation—from fighting for fighting's sake? The OHL has an...
Beer Of The Week: Hoptimus Prime
The further we get from the '80s, the less defensible the hero-toys look. G.I. Joes might've delivered creepily timed PSAs - oh, don't mind Doc hanging around outside your bathroom window, kiddos - but in setting up a reflexively force-oriented response to terroristic threats probably helped set the...
Cal's Brendan Bigelow Threw His Hat Into The Ring For Play Of The Day With This 81-Yard Touchdown Run
Ohio State has mostly dominated today's ABC game in Columbus against the Cal Golden Bears, but Brendan Bigelow helped narrow the lead to 20-14 with this exceptional run that involved several spins, a juke, and a few stumbles. We're sure that's just how Jeff Tedford drew it up. [ABC]...
