If you needed concrete proof why many NBA fans have been dreading seeing the Spurs in the NBA Finals, last night's win over the Jazz provided it. It was a succession of flops, plods, slaps, free throws and Manu Ginobili. We know some just call this winning basketball; we think it's sucking all the l...

One Series Is Alive ... Can We Make It Two?
As close as this series has been so far, we're just one Pistons victory away from it being totally lopsided. They've been so close on the road, most people believe the Cavs will be able to take at least a game at home. Except for Rasheed Wallace, who would lead you to believe that if the Pistons try...

Kevin Kolb Is Going To Be So Jealous
It took 9 shots and 3 hours (that had to be pleasant for the animal), but the end result is a sense of pride for an 11-year-old and a truckload of pork. Young Jamison Stone killed a 9-foot, 1051 pound wild hog in Alabama....
For Multiple Reasons, Your Jose Canseco Rated Rookie Card Is Worth Nothing
I imagine there are a lot of Deadspinners out there who collected baseball cards in the late 80s and early 90s, the height of the baseball card collecting boom ... the time of Upper Deck, Score, the extra-long Bowmans that didn't fit into the plastic sleeves, etc. And, of course, the infamous "fuck ...
