Dwyane Wade Cartwheel-Bombs LeBron Interview
LeBron James scored 35 points on just 14 FGA last night in a 107-92 win over the Suns. But the real master of efficiency was Wade, who derailed the entire postgame interview with two celebratory cartwheels....
One 49er Thinks RGIII Shouldn't Be Playing
On Sunday, NFL Network reported that Robert Griffin III asked the Redskins not to show any of his bad plays during team meetings. If there's any truth to that (and Washington said there isn't), film sessions are going to be short this week....
The Redskins Honor Navajo Code Talkers, Still Go By "Redskins"
The Washington Redskins would appreciate it if you reflect upon the noble, under-acknowledged history of the Navajo Code Talkers.

Long Snapper Trick-Shot Video Knows Your Opinion Of Long Snapping
You know those videos that come into your life under a headline like, "I Can't Stop Watching This Whatever Do Something"? This video of Lawrence University long snapper John Doran is not that.

The Time This Kid Realized He Was Waving A Turkey Leg
The waving of the turkey leg — sure, cute, but we've all been there. Having only two hands can feel so limiting, so of course, you're watching Okie State piss-pound Baylor back into the MaybeNextYear.com Bowl, and everyone else starts some kind of en masse arm swing, and what option do you have but ...
Eli: Still The Saddest Manning
After last night's disaster in Foxboro in which the Broncos blew a 24-point lead, you'd be right to expect Peyton Manning to be a bit down. But, as always, he's the chipper member of the family—as little bro Eli is once again letting his face tell a story of desperation and dysphoria....

Chase Cut To
The Busy Body Lounge, a strip club in Evansville, Ind., is causing controversy with a sign that promises a free blow job with each dance. Which is exactly the idea. (To create controversy, not to promise sex with a lapdance. Although that's also the idea.)...

This Predators Video Could Not Be More American
Nashville put up a very red-white-and-blue victory over Toronto on Thursday, with Americans notching all four goals and seven of the eight assists. To celebrate, the Predators put together this foot-stomping, air-guitar-shredding, manifest-destiny-realizing highlight video. Today, we are all Predato...
Manchester City Are England's Best Team. So What's Their Problem?
Tottenham visited Manchester City yesterday in a hugely anticipated match. City have been unreal at home this season, and most teams go into Etihad Stadium playing defensively, hoping for a draw. Spurs instead decided to meet City head on, and played an attacking, free-flowing style. After 12 second...
Steve Weatherford Was Drug Tested One Day After A Career Game
Yesterday, Giants punter Steve Weatherford had a banner day. He led the NFL in net average, had two punts over 65 yards, and placed two inside the 20-yard-line. Today, he had to pee in a cup. ...
2013 Deadspin Hall Of Fame Nominee: Rocket Frog
This remarkable photograph of a frog's ascension into the heavens was captured during the September launch of NASA's LADEE-laden Minotaur V Rocket. We'd like to think that, instead of succumbing to fiery death and returning to Earth as fried grenouille a la NASA, Rocket Frog slipped the surly bonds...
