2011 Deadspin Hall Of Fame Nominee: A.J. Daulerio
He ruined Deadspin. He's no Will Leitch. He's the worst man in sports. He sat on top of a toilet for GQ. He dropped acid. And now he's taking his act across the room to ruin Gawker. Dick....

FIU Fans Weren't The Only Ones Getting Rowdy At The Beef 'O'Brady's Bowl
We bought you this segment of drunk Florida International fans at the Beef 'O'Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl earlier this week, and it resulted in quite a few nasty emails my way from FIU folks, featuring phrases like:...
2011 Deadspin Hall Of Fame Nominee: Penn State
Sandusky. Paterno. The whistle that no one blew. The sweatpants riots and the sad, sad bros and the news van tipped over like some sort of Holstein cow. Penn State was horror and farce, all at once—the whole range of human folly on display. 1-800-REALITY, indeed....

Here's How Dan Orlovsky (With The Help Of The Houston Texans) Ruined Christmas For Colts Fans
Down 16-12 to the Houston Texans with 1:50 left in the game, no timeouts, and the ball on their own 22, the Indianapolis Colts would have been heavy dogs to win even with Peyton Manning playing quarterback. But win they did, thanks to the heroics of backup-backup QB Dan Orlovsky and some timely pe...

2011 Deadspin Hall Of Fame Nominee: Bill Simmons
He picked a fight with Charlie Pierce. He started Grantland. He scooped up our pal Katie Baker. He shamelessly hopped on the Bruins bandwagon. He told ESPN to go fuck itself.

FBI Docs: George Steinbrenner Thought The FBI Was The "Nearest Thing To Perfection"
When we published my October profile of Howie Spira, the gambler who tangled with George Steinbrenner and wound up in prison, I knew the story wasn't over. In the course of my reporting, I'd submitted a few Freedom of Information Act requests to the FBI. These things can take a while for the federal...

2011 Deadspin Hall Of Fame Nominee: Brett Favre
The Dongslinger finally called it quits in the past year, but not without great fanfare. We did our most recent HOF inductions in September 2010, just before the world saw his penis.
