Your Morning Video Wake Up Call
Good morning, sunshines. Today's video recap focuses, obviously, on the NBA Draft. It's a bunch of athletes wearing suits and talking to Stephen A. Smith. What could possibly go wrong? Enjoy....
Part XI: Deadspin Hall Of Fame Inductee...Will Leitch
Well, that was fun, wasn't it? I'd like to thank ALL of our roasters for their contributions to today's festivities. I can't think of a better send-off for our man. I'd also like to thank the always brilliant Jim Cooke for designing the above plaque, at last granting Will Leitch permanent immortali...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while Chris Hansen asks you to sit down so that he can write you a check ... • Boxing: Junior welterweights, Anthony Peterson vs. Fernando Trejo; super welterweights, Vanes Martirosyan vs. Angel Hernandez, in Las Vegas (9 p.m., ET).

Media Approval Ratings: John Saunders
We learned last year that John Saunders had been shopping memoir about his rough-and-tumble life on the streets of Toronto. We wouldn't have guessed his life was that rough-and-tumble, but what do we know?...
Your Morning Video Wake Up Call
Good morning, sunshines. Today's video recap features your College World Series, Mike and Mike throwing out first pitches, Tony Reali giggling and, yes, Erin Andrews. Enjoy....
Yes, No, Dude, Catfish
"Girls Gone Grabblin'" is a video featuring women of all types and ages, swimming around in dirty water trying to wrestle catfish (sorry, "grabble") out of their mud holes. The image on the front of the box is deceiving: the accompanying film footage and website do not feature buxom Southern gals in...
2008 NBA Draft Rankings: 1-15
I'm not going to bother trying to figure out who's taking whom. I mean, it would be easy if teams used common sense and drafted based on need ... but who does that anymore? So instead, I'm going to rank the available players based solely on talent, potential, and whether the coin I'm flipping lands...
SuperYid Youkilis Drubs The Hardly Punchless RedBirds
Slate's Robert Weintraub, like many of us, loves the old purple prose of early 1900s sportswriting, the Grantland Rices, the men who painted epic tales of warriors, grizzled combatants and lardywarks too manly to wear gloves. In an occasional series, Weintraub writes about the week's best baseball g...
Youth Golfers Get Blindsided By Boob-Infested Golf Outing
A golf team of pre-teen youngsters got a little more than they expected when they showed up for their junior club golf outing on Monday. Due to a scheduling "miscommunication" the lucky kids got to share the clubhouse with the annual Shotgun Willie's Charity Golf Tournament, an event sponsored by a ...
Belisimo, Big Cock Gallinari
SimonOnSports points us to this interesting revelation about potential NBA lottery pick Danillo Gallinari. The 19-year-old Italian small forward has impressed some draftniks with his outside shot and his shnoz for the basket, and he's pledged that he'll only play in the NBA if he's drafted by New Yo...
Media Approval Ratings: Terry Bradshaw
We can say with 100 percent certainty that, of all the people we've mentioned in this Media Approval Ratings business, Terry Bradshaw is the first whose bare ass we have seen. We're not sure which is worse: Having that happen, or admitting that we've seen Failure To Launch....
Clinton Portis Plays All The Old Hits
We hope whoever takes over this site keeps the Deadspin Hall Of Fame going; it would make us very happy to see that still cruising along in a decade. (We also love that it's so difficult to get in; just one inductee last year!) One of the earliest enshrinees, Clinton Portis, is returning to his old ...
Your Morning Video Wake Up Call
Good morning, sunshines. Today's video recap features College World Series innuendo, Tony Kornheiser discussing his sexual exploits in the restrooms of chain fast-food restaurants and John Anderson's amazing new show....
Ballgirls In The Pacific Coast League Are Especially Nimble
Here's a video that's been making the rounds the past couple of days, showing a ballgirl making a rather unbelievable catch of a foul ball during a Fresno Grizzlies game at Chukchansi Park. Pretty impressive; even when you discover that it was staged. It's actually a Gatorade commercial which was fi...
Smack My Bitch Up: Major League Baseball's Continuing Domestic Abuse Problem
Today is the second anniversary of Phillies pitcher Brett Myers' post-wife beating game start. Philadelphia magazine writer Rich Rys examines the impact of that decision and how it's affected his career and what it says about Major League Baseball''s handling of domestic violence cases. He can be r...
The Best Bronze Medal Money Can Buy?
The U.S. Olympic basketball roster was announced on Monday, and looking it over I think that we've finally engineered a lineup that can beat Angora. USA! USA! Getting by Argentina and Lithuania may be more problematic. Anyway, you've got your Kobe Bryant, your LeBron James, your Dwyane Wade, your Ca...
Media Approval Ratings: Michael Smith
There's probably no show on earth that we hammer on more than "Around The Horn," and jeez, how could we not? But of all the regular cast of characters — Mariotti, Plaschke, Paige, what not — Michael Smith (who's probably a semi-regular) seems to escape a lot of hatred....
