Stan Van Gundy Shows Us How Much It Hurts To Coach Josh Smith
One of the many problems Stan Van Gundy faced when he took over the Detroit Pistons was Josh Smith's dreadful three-point shooting. He shot 265 threes last season and only hit 26 percent of them, but Stan Van has managed to put the straps on him a bit this year. Smith's shot just 30 threes so far (h...

Fuck You, "Stay Classy"
Sometimes, the internet is just a big race to get the first quip in before anyone else. In comment sections everywhere (including Deadspin's—especially Deadspin's), it's about proving your wit. And that's perfectly all right! But for every comment that elicits laughs, there are 100 awful, lazy, gar...
What You're Expecting, But More So: <em>Anchorman 2</em>, Reviewed.
1. When did the tide start to turn on Ron Burgundy? It's a strange thing: Since Will Ferrell introduced his greatest creation in 2004, there has been a relentless drumbeat among the public to bring him back, from cameos on Conan to rampant interview requests to the ultimate point where Ferrell and P...
Watch Ron Burgundy Anchor An Actual Newscast In North Dakota
There's a new Anchorman movie coming out, which means Will Ferrell is making the rounds in character—ranging from Dodge ads to Canadian curling coverage.

Jeff Van Gundy Sits Down During Live Shot; Mark Jackson Mocks Him
Jeff Van Gundy got off to a rough start last night and didn't even make it to the tip of Warriors-Lakers before stepping in it. Mike Breen and Van Gundy were standing for a pre-game shot and hadn't even introduced the starting lineups when Van Gundy just casually starts to sit down. He slowly leav...

OK State QB Clint Chelf's Brother Not Happy With Mike Gundy
The plan going into today's game against Mississippi State was for Clint Chelf to start at quarterback and share significant time with J.W. Walsh. When the dust settled after OK State's 21-3 win, Chelf finished 3-6 for 11 yards while Walsh was 18-27 for 125 yards with a rushing TD....
"What A Joke This Sport Is!" Jeff Van Gundy Is Not A Fan Of The Designated Hitter Rule
The Thunder's beat-down of the Lakers last night got a little boring towards the end, as beat-downs will, and unlike some spectators, Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy were contractually obligated to remain in their seats. Naturally, talk turned to the designated hitter, and—like many people, but in h...
While Calling Game Involving Sub-.500 Team, Jeff Van Gundy Says Sub-.500 NBA Teams Shouldn't Be On TV
Midway through last night's snoozer of a Lakers-Thunder matchup—one OKC walked away with to the tune of 114-108—ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy poked fun at competitor NBA TV's sub-par national broadcast lineup. He has a point; NBA TV's national games have been far from the spotlight matchups of those...
Did The NBA Block Stan Van Gundy From Going To ESPN? Jeff Van Gundy Thinks So
Recently, former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy called David Stern a dick, among other things. Van Gundy disparaging Stern isn't a rare occurrence, as the two have a less-than-amicable relationship. But did Stern take revenge by influencing ESPN into rescinding their job offer to Van Gundy? Jeff Van Gund...
The NBA Is Finally Doing Something About Flopping
It's been a big story over the past few seasons: NBA players—in increasingly large numbers, rather than in isolated instances of Divacs and Lambieers and Reggie Millers—had outsmarted the league and taken advantage of the difficulty on officiating NBA games by just falling on the floor all the tim...
Deadspin's Sign of the Apocalypse
It was with no small degree of concern that Deadspin noted the lack of a Sign of the Apocalypse in this week's Sports Illustrated. Until August, the magazine had been chronicling the demise of Western civilization via sports news of the weird at least as far back as 1993, when it noted that "David C...
The Savannah State Athletic Director Sure Does Hate His Football Team
Or least that's the way it looks in the short-term. Partly as an investment in the future, Savannah State has offered itself up as a cupcake to far better teams this season, and has proven itself thus far a rich, artisanal cupcake, with delicate pink frosting and cinnamon accents. The program's fir...

Chris Webber Refers To Ron Jeremy Instead Of Ron Burgundy During NBA Summer League Broadcast
Not sure what about this I like best: Webber making the mistaken Anchorman reference at the 22-second mark, the nearly 10 seconds of awkward silence until he corrects himself, or the minute-plus the rest the broadcast crew then spends laughing at him. It's a hard one....
Who Will Speak Up For The Victims Of Flopping? Jeff Van Gundy Will
Jeff Van Gundy was mad enough when Mickael Pietrus stuck Mario Chalmers with a bogus technical foul down the stretch of last night's Celtics-Heat Game 5.
