Wu-Tang Clan Album Skits, Ranked
Prince Paul and De La Soul popularized the hip-hop skit, and Dr. Dre turned the concept cinematic, but the nine-man Wu-Tang Clan raised it to the level of esoteric art. Mixing stream-of-blunted-consciousness talk with pulp-fiction plot twists, copious gunshots, and equal parts skewed humor and authe...
Sergi Roberto's Stunning Emergence Proves Barcelona Are Firing On All Cylinders
Of everything that happened in this Clásico—a half-strength Barcelona waltzing into the Bernabéu and not only beating a full-strength Real Madrid team that desperately needed a win, but pummeling them in gloriously humiliating fashion; the notoriously careful Rafa Benítez basically being pressured b...
There Probably Won't Be Enough .500 Teams To Fill All The Bowl Games
There are either too many bowl games, or not enough good teams. (The answer is obviously “both.”)...
The<i> Rocky </i>Movies, Ranked
Sylvester Stallone’s recent sit-down with Robert Rodriguez for The Director’s Chair made a pretty compelling case that the Rocky movies ought to be taken seriously as Sly’s greatest artistic achievement. Sure, most of them are exactly the same movie. (Rocky has to fight somebody no one thinks he ca...
Jose Calderon Left Hanging By Ruthless Fan
I don’t know the full story behind this savage own, which appears to have happened before, but I do know that this man is perhaps the world’s greatest agent of chaos:...
A Dead Pet Bunny, And More Of Your Grimmest Thanksgiving Disasters
Last year, at my family’s Thanksgiving celebration, I bestowed upon my brother the honor of carving the turkey. He stared at the bird for a solid minute, halfheartedly holding a tine and knife, before dropping the tools and tearing into it with his bare hands. Last week we asked you to tell us your ...
Why The Hell Was A Clearly Concussed Case Keenum Left In The Game?
The more you watch Rams quarterback Case Keenum get slammed to the ground, clutch his head, and wobble back to his feet, the harder it becomes to understand how he was allowed to continue playing....
Five Liquors For Your Friend Who's A Lush But Not A Concerning Lush (Yet)
Booze is good. Booze-snob culture is ... less good. Don’t let that put you off buying booze for yourself and people you like and, hell, people you don’t like this holiday season! Here are some of our recommendations, none of which will put you much out of pocket and none of which will shame you if y...
How Often Do I Have To Change My Pants?
Ask An Adequate Woman is a space where folks can ask the questions they can’t—or maybe just won’t!—pose to their friends about relationships, fashion, family dramas, dating, existential crises, weird sex stuff, and everything else. The Women of Deadspin (and some of our clever friends) are here to h...
Cam Newton Might Be The Most Photogenic Athlete In The World
This has nothing to do with the latest controversy over Cam Newton’s dancing, which I’m sick of and would rather not get into. (This guy’s got opinions, though.) Instead, it’s just an observation: no one takes better pictures than Cam Newton....
The Cowboys Are In Over Their Heads With Greg Hardy
Before the start of yesterday’s NFL action, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reported that the Cowboys’ support for defensive end and accused domestic abuser Greg Hardy was beginning to wane:...
Apparently, You <i>Can</i> Wear A Hoodie Under An NFL Jersey
This is the NFL, where you will get fined for wearing the wrong cleats, or eye black, or headphones, or baseball cap. So when Packers WR James Jones played the entire 30-13 win over the Vikings with a hoodie on underneath his jersey, most everyone figured he’d have to cut a check to pay for his cozi...
Bengals Blast "Ridiculous" Penalty That Set Up Cardinals Win
It’s a bit of a shame that a fun, close game between two of the league’s best teams came down to a crucial and obscure penalty, but there’s nothing to be done: it was almost certainly the correct call, and despite the Bengals’ protestations that it was “ridiculous,” they got caught....
The Clippers Are A Goddamn Mess
The ever-combustible Clippers up and combusted today. This afternoon, they dropped their third straight game (and their sixth of seven) to the Toronto Raptors. 6-7 is good for the worst start of the Chris Paul era. Given the cocktail of stubborn personalities in that locker room, it’s thoroughly uns...
¡Golazo Imposíble!
Dairon Asprilla, this is some good kicking. This last angle is pretty definitive proof that the shot hit no butts, and in fact just curved like crazy....
25 Years Later, The Undertaker Is Still Not Resting In Peace
Welcome to Deadspin’s irregular pro wrestling column, in which Tom Breihan and Ernest Wilkins will comb through the past month or so of superkicks, lariats, and 450 splashes in search of the greatest things that this most American of artforms has given us....
Deadspin Up All Night: The Greatest Book You Ever Read
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. This year, we’re rotisserie-ing our turkey....
Washington Defensive End Jason Hatcher: Referees "Single Us Out" Because Of Team Name
Washington got the shit kicked out of them by Cam Newton and the Panthers today. Newton tossed five touchdowns and generally ran all over everyone. Of course, Washington helped him out plenty, as they committed nine penalties for 68 yards, including a would-be pick-six that got called all the way ba...
Justin Meram Scores 10 Seconds Into MLS Playoff Game
Columbus got the scoring started rather early in today’s Eastern Conference final against the New York Red Bulls with this goal from Iraq national teamer Justin Meram a mere 10 seconds into the game. Kei Kamara and Ethan Finlay played it onto Meram, and he finished calmly....
