Rick Reilly's Latest Self-Plagiarism Is The Worst
The most generous reading of Rick Reilly's latest column, large parts of which are lifted wholesale from a 2009 Rick Reilly column, is that he just wants to give readers something from a time he wasn't mailing things in. But that 2009 column was awful too. Rick Reilly disdains you so much that he's ...

Patrick Kane Honors Dead Grandfather, Breaks Down After Game
Just before taking the ice for last night's game against the Kings, Patrick Kane learned that his grandfather had died. Kane played in the game, finishing with two goals and one assist. After scoring his first goal, seen above, Kane kissed his fingers and pointed skyward....
Derrick Williams Attempts Ill-Fated Off-The-Backboard Dunk
Garbage time is usually an opportunity for NBA stars to draw from the grab bag of Globetrotter tricks. Derrick Williams tried a pretty mild off-the-backboard dunk maneuver. It didn't go so well....
You're Eating It Wrong: Chicken Wings
Yesterday we taught you how to make wings for your Super Bowl party, but now the big day is here, and, holy shit, how do I eat these things? The answer: Not how you've been doing it, weirdo!...
How To Make Wings, Instead Of Letting The Pizza Dude Do It For You
So the Super Bowl is tomorrow, and just as Super Bowl viewership is essentially non-optional for Americans who do not wish to be regarded with open suspicion by their acquaintances and coworkers, the provision of chicken wings is essentially non-optional for Super Bowl party hosts who do not wish to...
The Dick Vitale Concert Series: Barry Manilow
Dick Vitale thinks you should give up if you can't "get lucky" with some Barry Manilow on the ol' gramophone. That's right, Dickie V. is back on the concert circuit and last night he live-tweeted a Barry Manilow show. He's still basically just tweeting the names of the songs in all caps and randomly...
J.R. Smith Torches Anthony Bennett For Nasty Dunk
Here we have J.R. Smith turning Cavs rookie Anthony Bennett from player to spectator. First, he blows by Bennett with a pretty gnarly crossover and then continues on to the rim where he finishes it off with a windmill dunk. Clean, quick and decisive. All in all, it's a pretty nifty little bit of hu...
Colin Kaepernick On Richard Sherman: “Come On”
Colin Kaepernick was in a private room on the sixth floor of a West Side event space, standing in front of a white scrim festooned with corporate logos and posing for photos with a succession of lesser VIPs. He was there as the "surprise guest" of Deadspin's Super Bowl party last night, which is ano...

Fox Sports 1's Katie Nolan Lays Waste To Rick Reilly
Rick Reilly went on TV yesterday and said some stupid things—chief among them was referring to Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas as Gabby Giffords, the Arizona congresswoman who survived being shot in the head in 2011—but he also said some mean things about Regis Philbin. Reilly's words did not s...
Here's Jonathan Quick's Olympic Mask
We've already seen Ryan Miller's America-out-the-ass mask for the Sochi games. Now we've got Jonathan Quick's. Patriotic? Meh. Shiny? Oh my, yes!...

Police Officer Indicted In Shooting Death Of Former Florida A&M Player
A grand jury yesterday indicted Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer Randall Kerrick on a count of voluntary manslaughter, for his role in the Sept. 14 death of Jonathan Ferrell. Kerrick fired 12 shots, hitting the unarmed Ferrell 10 times, as he sought help after a car accident....
Statistically, When Is The Best Time To Buy Super Bowl Tickets?
Just a few days ago, you'd have had a better chance of finding a reasonably priced one-bedroom in Manhattan than you would've of scoring Super Bowl tickets for less than a mortgage payment or ten. For those who were able to hold off a few days, though, the savings are likely in the thousands....
Chief-On-Chief Violence At The Pro Bowl
The only remotely noteworthy thing to happen during yesterday's Pro Bowl was Derrick Johnson laying a solid hit on Chiefs teammate Jamaal Charles. More than solid—Johnson, named the game's defensive MVP, went helmet-t0-helmet on Charles three weeks after the RB left a playoff game with a concussion....
