Philip Rivers Is An Intense Weirdo

San Diego 19, Indianapolis 9: This is the only GIF necessary from this game. Nick Novak hit a 50-yard field goal just inside the two-minute warning to give the Chargers a two-possession lead. This was Philip Rivers's reaction. He's like a sad movie character who pumps himself up in front of a mirro...

Baton-Twirling Legend Causes Fire At High School Football Game

The woman who seems totally unconcerned with the flames licking her feet is named Beverly Bernardi Post. She is a legend of sorts in Topeka, Kansas baton-twirling circles and according to reader Jim, she was the "featured baton twirler" for Kansas in the 70s. Now she is lighting high school footbal...

The Washington Redskins, Rebranded: Your Best Submissions

99design's "Rebrand The Washington Redskins" contest ended this weekend, with the logo above (by user Mixaurus) winning the $499 prize. Apparently the polls were overrun with pro-Redskins trolls or graphic designers are really nit-picky (or both), because the second-highest-rated submission garnered...

High School Volleyballer Suspended For Being Designated Driver

A Massachusetts high school senior has been suspended for five matches and stripped of her volleyball captaincy thanks to the school's no-tolerance policy toward alcohol. Except she wasn't drinking, and had only shown up at the house party to drive an intoxicated friend home. ...

This Eagles Fan Is Covered In Unfortunate Tattoos

This Eagles superfan was spotted at yesterday's Eagles-Bucs game by reader Kevin. Not only is David Akers featured prominently in this man's sad mural of Eagles history, it is also home to a disembodied arm preparing to hike a football. The hell is going on with that arm?...

Where Does Phil Mushnick's Wordbarf Rank Among Awful Sports Columns?

Phil Mushnick's "Adrian Peterson is a thug and at fault for his son's death" column is bad. Really bad. But is it worse than the reigning champion of instantly appalling sports columns, Mark Whicker's "Here's what Jaycee Dugard missed in sports while she was imprisoned and raped in a backyard shed f...

Your Regular Reminder That Phil Mushnick Is A Race-Baiting Troll

Professional shithead Phil Mushnick is at it again, opining in his unbelievable-even-for-the-Post column that Adrian Peterson deserves some blame for the beating death of his 2-year-old son, a son that until recently he didn't know he had....

Would You Do It Again? We Ask Former NFLer Chidi Ahanotu

This is an interview series in which we ask the plaintiffs of the NFL concussion lawsuit one question (and maybe a few more): Knowing what you know now, if you could do it over again, would you still play football?...

Nick Young Takes Video Selfie While Crashing His Toboggan

The Los Angeles Lakers' Chinese tobogganing trip is the gift that keeps on giving. First, it allowed us to laugh at Chris Kaman's account of the very real dangers that come with tobogganing down the Great Wall of China, and now it's given us an even greater gift: Nick Young filming himself as he los...

High Five Gone Wrong Leads To Eye Injury

Australia's Brad Haddin went to celebrate a wicket with teammate James Faulkner during Sunday's cricket match against India. Yes! High five! Shit. Sorry....

Jack Clark's Lawyer Responds To Albert Pujols's Lawsuit With Pizazz

Albert Pujols is suing former baseball player Jack Clark because Clark recently went on his now-cancelled radio show and told listeners that Pujols's trainer once told him that Pujols had been "juicing." Judging by a settlement offer that was sent from Clark's attorney to Pujols's attorney this morn...

Map: What's The Nearest Pizza Chain?

The weird distribution of fast food across the United States is an endless source of conversation ("What do you mean you don't have Sonic?!"), and a pretty fun thing to map. We've seen these sorts of data visualizations for McDonald's, burger places, and breakfast haunts, but over at FlowingData, th...

Small Town Turns On Girl Who Was Allegedly Raped By HS Football Player

Here's a depressing story that will bring back memories of the Steubenville rape case. It begins with a 14-year-old drunk girl getting dumped on her porch by the high school football player who had just allegedly raped her, and it ends with her family being driven out of town by an unsupportive comm...

Here's An Awesome, Fan-Shot Video Of David Ortiz's Grand Slam

Big Papi essentially gave birth to this genre of videos with his work in the 2004 playoffs, and they are still one of the best things about October baseball. This one is particularly satisfying, as it proves that Torii Hunter's tumble over the outfield wall is hilarious from any distance or angle....

Patriots Radio Batshit Winning TD Call Matched Up With Tecmo Bowl Sim

We like many things here at Deadspin, and the list of those things includes "radio announcers going insane over great sports moments" alongside "famous football plays rendered in Tecmo Super Bowl." This video features both....
