Fans Dress In KKK Hoods At A North Dakota High School Hockey Game, Coach Calls It "Pretty Tacky"
And that was the better response from a school administrator. Someone is either very handy with the Photoshop and committed to making North Dakota-area high schoolers look bad, or there are some extreeemely intolerant and/or stupid North Dakota-area high schoolers. From The Grand Forks Herald:...
When JaVale McGee Was 18, He Wore A Grill Made Of Aluminum Foil
First off, JaVale looks about 13 here. But he was 18, according to J-Mac himself when he posted the photo to his Instagram yesterday (throwback Thursday!). He was either about to start college, or was already Nevada's starting center. A little too old (and recent—just seven years ago) to be living t...
Javale McGee Throws Down Three-Quarter-Court Alley-Oop
Is it a dunk? Is it just a really emphatic layup? It doesn't matter. It's Javale and that's all that ever matters....
JaVale McGee Throws Himself An Alley-Oop, Dons A Celebratory Fingerstache
JaVale McGee continues to be a delight. A normal basketball player, after fooling Omer Asik with a savvy pump fake, would have finished this play with a simple step-through move and a gentle layup. But JaVale McGee is not a normal basketball player, and so the fact that he decided to throw himself...

MLB To Introduce "Interview Caps." You Know, For Interviews.
How funny! I was just saying to myself the other day, "MLB needs more caps. Sure, they've got home caps, road caps, alternate caps, throwback caps, second alternate caps, batting practice caps, road batting practice caps, fashion caps, and playoff caps for each round, but that's not nearly enough ca...
JaVale McGee Goes Up And Over Two Of His Own Teammates For A Putback Dunk
See, this is why we love JaVale McGee: he'll forego the smart play for the spectacular play. Late in the first half of yesterday's win over the Lakers, a missed Kosta Koufos layup bounced right in the middle of three Nuggets. Rather than yell "same team" or beg off to avoid deflecting the ball, Mc...

JaVale McGee Hits Buzzer-Beating Three, Unveils Wonderful Celebration
In recent years, the NBA has showcased a variety of creative three-point celebrations. We've seen the championship belt, the three goggles, and the three-to-the-head, among others. But none of those moves are quite like what JaVale McGee dropped on us last night after hitting a buzzer-beating thre...
MLB Teams Are Getting New Batting Practice Hats. Some Of Them Are Neat. One Of Them Features A Screaming Indian
Uni Watch got its hands on the designs for the new batting practice hats that each of MLB's 30 teams will be unveiling in the coming months. Some of the hats are great, like this one, which brings back the A's old elephant logo. Unfortunately, the Atlanta Braves' hat looks like this:...

Fat Chipper Jones Is Throwing A Horrible Super Bowl Party
You will recall that a grown man who called himself "Chipper" used to play third base for the Atlanta Braves. You will recall, too, that he is fat and dates a Playboy model. He also has a Twitter feed. And an upcoming Super Bowl party. What a Super Bowl party it is....
The Year In JaVale McGee, Our Favorite Basketball Player
No NBA player is closer to Deadspin's heart than JaVale McGee. That's because JaVale McGee only makes spectacular plays—the plays that no one else in the NBA could or would make, because they're cowards. To commemorate the man with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, here's the best of McG...

JaVale McGee Had A Bad Minute During Last Night's Nuggets-Knicks Game [UPDATE: Now With George Karl Reaction GIF]
On Friday JaVale McGee performed a terrible, wonderful, perfectly awful feat and helped lead the Nuggets to a big win. He was less effective last night against the Knicks, picking up as many fouls as he had rebounds and only scoring four points. That's not to say our love for McGee is tempered; o...
JaVale McGee Performs Perfectly Terrible, Ridiculous, Awful Play
JaVale McGee helped lead the Nuggets to a 92-89 win over the Pacers in Indianapolis tonight thanks to 20 points on 9-9 shooting. That perfect shooting percentage only held up because the official scorer decided not to classify whatever happens at the end of this play as a shot. Sure, it's probabl...
Ask The Internet's Biggest Television Writer About Everything That's Happened On TV In The Last 15 Years
It used to be that TV was so mediocre that it wasn't really worth discussing. Then TV got a lot better, but we didn't have much of a place to discuss it. Then Alan Sepinwall, who was the TV critic for the Star-Ledger hung out his shingle online, recapping episodes and spurring plenty of discussions....
Ask A Notre Dame Beat Writer About The—Cough, Cough—Best Football Team In The Country
Brian Hamilton covers the Fighting Irish for the Chicago Tribune (in which capacity he is regularly abused by the most self-indulgent fanbase west of Massachusetts). Got some questions about the country's temporarily top-ranked team? Brian's in the discussion below....
JaVale McGee Converts An Alley-Oop While Getting Fouled And Never Actually Touching The Rim
What, you think JaVale McGee is going to just throw down a normal, ho-hum alley-oop? Don't be silly. Only our man JaVale could rise above the rim, get his arm hooked while trying to slam the ball home, and then still somehow get the ball to go through the hoop without ever actually getting his han...
