If A Broncos Player Pees In The Woods, The Broncos' Website Will Get It On Video

NFL websites tend to include interview videos of players and coaches muttering a variety of clichés. These interviews invariably are nothing more than harmless banter meant for those who really like seeing anyone on their favorite team say anything, without really having to pay any attention to exac...

MLB To Introduce "Interview Caps." You Know, For Interviews.

How funny! I was just saying to myself the other day, "MLB needs more caps. Sure, they've got home caps, road caps, alternate caps, throwback caps, second alternate caps, batting practice caps, road batting practice caps, fashion caps, and playoff caps for each round, but that's not nearly enough ca...

Tyler Seguin Spent The Lockout Living In His Own Filth [UPDATE]

For most players who went to Europe during the lockout, it was just business: an opportunity to make a paycheck and stay in shape until the NHL returned. But for Tyler Seguin, it was something much more monumental: it was the first time in the young Bruins star's life he's ever lived on his own. And...

Bullpen Cell Phones Are Coming To Major League Baseball Next Season

MLB and T-Mobile just announced a new deal here at CES that'll (maybe? hopefully?) cut down on embarrassing miscommunications between the bench and the pen. Starting next season, clubs will have the option of using dedicated, in-dugout cell phones to help get their relievers up and warming. Although...

An Inside Look At The Impending Flying Robot Apocalypse (And How To Put A Stop To It)

The Consumer Electronics Show, held in Vegas every year during the second-ish week in January, is an odd duck. Everyone is desperate to talk to you and show you things and shake your hand and trample you on the show floor and so forth. But (and this is my third time being here) there's often littl...

Oprah Winfrey Gets The Next Chance At Asking Lance Armstrong If He Cheated At Cycling

News surfaced last week that Lance Armstrong was sorta kinda getting itchy to come clean on certain PED-related matters, and now it seems that Oprah Winfrey will get the next crack at letting the ex-seven-time Tour de France winner admit, well, anything he might feel compelled to admit. And on the o...

An Oregon Player Faked An Injury During The Fiesta Bowl So That His Teammate Could Get Into His First And Last Bowl Game

Crazy Person Tackles Runner Mid-Race; Runner Wins Anyway

We don't want to give Kenyan runner Edwin Kipsang Rotich too much credit, because this race in Brazil over the weekend was a 10k, giving him plenty of time to make up for nearly getting bowled over by a spectator. His attacker was detained by police, who say he has a history of psychiatric problem...

In Defense Of Mike Shanahan

Three months ago, the head coach of a professional football team made a terrible, terrible decision. On Sept. 30, up by a point with less than two minutes to go, Carolina's Ron Rivera decided to punt the ball away to the Atlanta Falcons, even though it was fourth-and-1, even though his team was on A...

Watch A.J. McCarron Pretend Not To Be Freaked Out About How Famous His Girlfriend Is Now

The only thing worth noting about last night's BCS championship game was Brent Musburger's old-man boner over Katherine Webb, the girlfriend of Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron. In the video above, you can see reporters telling McCarron that his girlfriend was the night's breakout star, and then ...

Deadspin Nature Moment: Right Now, There Is A Hawk Hunting Rats Outside The Office

Craggs came back in and said there was a hawk outside, looking at the rats. He was flustered, because Craggs does not do well with nature. People followed him out onto the fire escape and there it was, perched on the fire escape of the Bowery House hotel behind our building, right beside a mop hung ...

The NHL Barely Dodged A Putin-Backed Russian Mutiny, But The League Might Not Be Out Of The Woods Yet

The NHL lockout is over, and most of the players (not Lubomir Visnovsky, though) who kept their games sharp in the KHL have returned to work in the United States. Washington's Alex Ovechkin is back in the States, saying funny things and wearing funny t-shirts. Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin has abandone...
