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....

Mississippi State Coach Apologizes For Cursing Out Marshall Henderson
Cameras caught Mississippi State head coach Rick Ray saying what looked like "fuck you" to Marshall Henderson last night. Today, Ray posted an apology on Instagram. (Why Instagram?) ...
MMA Fight Concludes In Eight Seconds With A Kick To The Head
Sure, it's an amateur MMA fight, so the eight-second knockout via head kick is devalued a bit, but it's still a sweet head kick. John Lohke was completely not ready, and his response—putting his hands down to try and catch David Maloley's leg—was poorly thought out. BOOM. Head kick....
Mississippi State Coach Is Not Happy With Marshall Henderson
Did he say "fuck you"? It looks like he said "fuck you." Ole Miss soundly beat intra-state rival Mississippi State by 19 today and Marshall Henderson did what Marshall Henderson does: pissed the shit out of everyone. It looks like he even got under the skin of Miss. St. head coach Rick Ray at the ve...
Here's Every Shot Carmelo Anthony Made In His 62-Point Night
Carmelo Anthony had the highest scoring game ever at Madison Square Garden last night and surpassed Bernard King's 60 for the franchise record of points scored in a game. Once Melo passed King (and Kobe Bryant's MSG record of 61 points) he was removed with over seven minutes remaining because the K...
The Single Dumbest Foul So Far This NBA Season
Of course, no sooner do we find out who committed the two dumbest fouls of the season than JJ Hickson, at the end of the half last night against the Blazers, commits this travesty on Wes Matthews, behind halfcourt. Here now, the worst foul of the NBA season so far. ...
Andrea Bargnani Is Out Indefinitely; We Made Him A Tribute Video
Sad news, everyone. Andrea Bargnani, the Knicks player who brought us the most entertainment this year, has a torn ligament in his left arm that will keep him off the court indefinitely. Bargs hurt himself doing what Bargs does best: playing basketball like a dummy....
J.R. Smith Plays Air Guitar While Enjoying A Very Chill Tune
At some point during last night's 76ers-Knicks game, J.R. Smith helped a young girl get through her cover of a popular Lumineers song. This is incontrovertible proof that despite the fact that the Lumineers make vapid, insufferably folksy music that appeals to the lowest common denominator of human...
