Passed-Out Drunk Guy Forces Fiesta Bowl Officials To Evacuate Women's Restroom

Oregon Football Boosters Are Mad That Chip Kelly Doesn't Hang Out With Them
The Chip Kelly era has brought the Oregon Ducks to two Rose Bowls and a BCS Championship Game in three seasons—and a Fiesta Bowl appearance this season—so it'd seem difficult to complain about the then-unknown New Hampshire offensive coordinator who took over a Pac-10 program. And yet, some of the ...
Wake Forest Head Coach Jeff Bzdelik Will No Longer Be Taking Callers On His Radio Show Because They Were All Angry Wake Forest Fans
Wake Forest was once a proud basketball program: only two different men helmed the team from 1934-1965, Murray Greason and Bones McKinney, and those two built a strong winning tradition. Carl Tracy stabilized the ship after some turnover in the 70s, and from 1989-2007, it was again a tale of two co...
A Message From Mike Vrabel's Stitched-Up Forehead: Always Wear A Helmet When Head-Butting People Wearing Helmets
Mike Vrabel has been a retired football player for a little more than a year now.

Buffalo Bills Fan Sues Team For Excessive Text Message Program He Signed Up For
There are many wonderful things about living in the United States. It's far from perfect, but as far as countries go, it's a pretty sweet place to live.

Olympic Sailing Called Off For Lack Of Wind
Today was to have been the medal race in the 470 class and a consolation race in the Elliott 6m, but the weather in Weymouth was just too darn nice to waste a day sailing. After waiting more than six hours for the wind to pick up, and failing to sacrifice a goat to Aeolus, racing was called off for ...
This Steelers Fan Has A Memorial Sticker On His Car's Rear Window Dedicated To His Foreskin
I don't know if memorial car stickers are a thing elsewhere in the country, but they're popular in Florida. People here regularly attach vinyl stickers to their rear windows in tribute to a beloved who has passed away....
What On Earth Is Happening Here? Apparently, A Wild Finish To An Aussie Rules Football Game
I'm not entirely sure what's going here, but I'll be damned if it isn't exciting. It comes to us from down under, where the first-place West Coast Eagles met the lowly Brisbane Lions this weekend in Australian Football League action. With the Lions trailing by three points in the closing moments, ...
How The Kings Toughened Up And Conquered The NHL
There are two central oddities in the New Jersey Devils-Los Angeles Kings Stanley Cup final, which the Kings lead 2-0 after two overtime wins. One is that the Kings were an eight seed with a meager plus-15 goal differential during the regular season, an eight seed that went 5-2-3 in its last 10 game...
Wake Forest And Elon Baseball Players Staged A "National Anthem Standoff"
It looks like a game of chicken to see which team can remain standing in anthem formation longer, since the actual ballgame can't start until they all leave the field. The above video was taken at the start of yesterday's game. It was sent to us in an email, the text of which is below, presented w...
Robbie Findley Missed An Open Net From Two Yards Out
He didn't even come particularly close, either. The US national and Nottingham Forest striker will be rueing this one, from the first half of today's FA Cup replay at Leicester City....
TNT's "NBA Forever" Season-Opening Video Is Spectacular
Most attempts at the Forrest Gump-style "modern people placed into old video" are hokey or at the very least poorly-executed, but TNT splashed the rainbow with this video that preceded the opening-day Celtics-Knicks broadcast. ...

Paper Illustrates Joe Frazier Tribute With Massive Photo Of George Foreman

Here's Video Of Prince William Playing Street Hockey Pretty Poorly
Will and Kate are touring that hockey-loving natural resources mine to our north—they might be in charge of it someday!—and their stop today brought them to Yellowknife. Yellowknife is the capital of the Northwest Territories. Not even 20,000 people live there. It's on the shores of the Great Slav...
Gluttony Among The Colonists: Deadspin's British Foreign Correspondent Reports From Nathan’s
America smells heavily of sweat. Sweat and old takeout—a lingering, clotted odor, a hybrid of a gas leak and authentic home cooking. This is my first time smelling or seeing the country. I arrived three days ago, Heathrow to JFK, having never crossed the Atlantic before. Now after a long and hot sub...
