"She Was Not Dressed As A Prostitute," And Other Highlights From The Time Andray Blatche Invited Two Radio Hosts To Tell Him How Awful He Is
Andray Blatche and the Washington Wizards just can't get away from each other. Blatche, now with the Nets, took a jab at his former team last night when he asked reporters what the Wizards' record was. Then he got into it on Twitter with Wizards fans and reporters who still had grievances to air ov...
By Adding Tulane And East Carolina, The Big East's Takeover Of Conference USA Is Almost Complete
Oh, look: The Big East is adding teams again, because why not? West Virginia already bolted, Pitt and Syracuse will be gone next year, and Rutgers the year after that (if not sooner). What better solution, then, than to add Tulane for all sports and East Carolina for football?...
The Los Angeles Clippers Missed Five Three-Pointers In One Minute Last Night
The L.A. Clippers lost their fourth straight last night, dropping a home bout with New Orleans 105-98 thanks to Blake Griffin's miserable performance (he fouled out, having gone 1-9 from the field) and despite Caron Butler going berserk in the second half (he ended up hitting nine three-pointers o...
The Bobcats Were So, So Awful Last Night
While Raymond Felton was ruining the end of an otherwise good Nets-Knicks game for a national audience, the Charlotte Bobcats were quietly having a statement game of their own—plunging deep into the depths of basketball shittiness during a 114-69 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Going into the ga...
Slick Rick's Embarrassing Performance At The Nets Game Last Night Was Worse Than You Think
We told you about Slick Rick getting booed at halftime of the Knicks-Nets game, and about Frank Isola of the New York Daily News getting all kinds of grief on Twitter for wondering whether Slick Rick was indeed a hip-hop legend. Slick's got nothing to prove to anyone anymore, but after hearing thi...
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...
Blake Griffin And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
The Clippers' Blake Griffin had what appears to be his worst night as a pro basketball player last evening, going 1-9 with four turnovers and fouling out in L.A.'s 105-98 loss to the Hornets. It had the normally-gregarious product pitchman casting a very different look upon his face....
Drew Gooden Got Three People To Throw Their Clothes In Their Toilets
Prior to the Milwaukee Bucks game in Chicago Monday evening, Drew Gooden held a contest to give away tickets. Gooden, formerly of the Bulls, asked followers to throw their Bulls jerseys in the toilet. The first one to send him a picture would receive his tickets to the game....
These Are The Faces Of Philadelphia: Panthers-Eagles, In Two GIFs
Carolina 30, Philadelphia 22: As a fan, maybe you know the internal feeling that this man is expressing outwardly. Perhaps you've even been similarly confused, hurt, angry and vulnerable and you let yourself get a little silly. Luckily for you, though, it never happened with ESPN's high definition ...
There Is Nowhere Else To Go But Up For The Washington Wizards
The Washington Wizards lost to the San Antonio Spurs tonight and are now 0-12 on the season. John Wall remains injured but it looks like he has a plan. Or he's falling asleep. Either way....
Jamaal Charles Waited Around for Peyton Manning's Autograph After Losing To Peyton Manning
According to Neal Jones of KCTV-5, Dwayne Bowe also got in on the action and posed for some pictures with Manning following Kansas City's 17-9 loss to the Broncos. And he actually made some sense. When cameras caught the two Chiefs stars milling around for Manning, it was a goofy bit of video—which...
Slick Rick Got Booed At Halftime Of Nets-Knicks, Reporter Gets Buried For Questioning His Hip Hop Legend Status
The New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets finally got around to playing that game at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn that was canceled in the wake of hurricane Sandy. For halftime entertainment the Nets brought in Slick Rick to delight the masses. It apparently did not go so well for Mr. Rick—Slic...
Your Monday Night Football Open Thread
God bless you if you are watching this game. Or may he have mercy on you, whichever. It's the Andy Reid farewell tour and...shit, I don't know, Cam Newton will probably do something that someone finds objectionable? Yakspin!...
Deadspin Up All Night: Time To Set It Straight
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. There's Panthers-Eagles on Monday Night Football, Knicks-Nets to highlight the NBA slate, and Big Daddy Kane and his flat-top now and forever....
Texas A&M Finally Lets Johnny Football Talk
Johnny Manziel—though he has a really cool nickname, and though he led his team to an upset of top-ranked Alabama, and though he is putting together one of the all-time great individual seasons—remains something of a mystery to college football fans. This was in part due to Texas A&M coach Kevin Su...
Jay Cutler: The Antihero Who Looks A Lot Like A Hero
On Sunday, during ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, Tom Jackson went on a mini tirade about Bears quarterback Jay Cutler that was as needless as it was brainless. Here was a grown man dispatched into sputtering agitation by a 10-second clip of another guy walking into a stadium. We've been down this road...
The Eagles Can't Even Fire Some No-Name Marketing Executive Without Screwing Something Up
The Philadelphia Eagles this afternoon fired someone named Tim McDermott. From a football standpoint, it's not a big deal. McDermott was the team's senior vice president and chief marketing officer, so it's not like he was responsible for, say, drafting Jaiquwan Jarrett. If anything, shitcanning McD...

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: We'll never stop talking about the time a guy didn't get hired....
