Meanwhile, Over At Hogwarts ...
Know how we know you're gay? Your rugby team is trailing 24-7, until a group of male streakers run across the field. You then go on to win the match, 26-24....
What Should We Do With Ann Arbor Again? And When Should We Do It?
Realize, kids, that it's entirely possible that we might have an Ohio State vs. Michigan, No. 1 vs. No. 2, battle on our hands this year. That might 40 percent of the Middle West spontaneously combust. We're very excited....
Our Teams: A Requiem In Three Acts
I. So now it can be written and known: The spinning, sprinting 12-yard sideaways rugby punts are not, in fact, a device that has come to revolutionize the sport of football. Sorry, Coach Zook. Our Illini very well might be the worst team in Division I-A, and we see no reason they wouldn't lose to Ne...
New Looks For D-Backs, Reds
What to do if your team struggles late and is unable to sneak into the playoffs after a somewhat surprising season? Change your logo, of coruse....
Hazing, Or An Endorsement Of Intimate Apparel?
When it comes to accusations of boys being forced to wear lingerie and drink hard liquor, I could really go either way. If it's Michael Jackson doing it, then sure, there could be some cause for concern. When it's being done voluntarily by high school baseball players... I'm probably OK with it....
Hines Ward Earns The Opposite Of Street Cred
Apparently, Hines Ward is huge among the lonely housewives of America. Viewers of the Regis and Kelly show voted Hines Ward of the Pittsburgh Steelers as their favorite athlete, which is sort of like being presented an award for achievement in the field of advanced mathematics from the local Dockw...
Does This Mean Jay-Z Has To Rename His Club?
Forty. Forty. Forty. There was a time in the not-too-distant past when seeing that word three times in a row would mean that I had 120 ounces of this garbage coursing through my veins. Today, however, it represents the remarkable accomplishment of Alfonso Soriano, becoming the first ever member of t...
Week In Deadspin: How Much Are Tickets At RFK Again?
• A brother's remembrances. • Football can be extremely violent, and if you're not careful, you'll —- HUGH! • We knew the beer at RFK Stadium was bad, but this is ridiculous. • It's probably not a good idea, in general, to be Joey Porter's neighbor. • Whatever it takes to fire Americans up about t...
Satan, Your Ass Is Gigantic And Red; Who Are We Going To Pretend You Are? Liza Minnelli?
You know what sucks about being a Baldwin? NOTHING!...
Must Be Sittin' In The Front Row!
Earlier this week, we heard rumors of a fan and his girlfriend / wife / mistress / crossdresser, while in the top level of the mostly empty RFK Stadium, uh, enjoying themselves in a way that you can't exactly enjoy yourself in the crowded Yankee Stadium bleachers. We weren't going to run anything ab...
Chad Johnson, Perhaps Unaware Of His Surroundings
So remember that hit Chad Johnson took at the end of the Bengals-Browns game last week? Well, over at The Fanhouse, the omnipotent Mighty MJD found the video of Johnson's postgame "discussion" with reporters. We think maybe he wasn't quite ready for an interview yet....
Boxer Told To Knock It Off With The Smurf Crap
This gentleman is named Arthur Abraham, and he's the IBF middleweight champion, whatever the hell that means anymore. If you're looking at his hat and thinking, "Gee, that kind of looks like a Smurf hat," well, you're right: That's exactly what it is....
Deadspin Moral Quandary: PK Vs. KSK
Contrary to the popular opinion concerning blogs, we consider ourselves pretty nice guys. We mean well for humanity, pet puppies, occasionally give change to the homeless, say please and thank you, all that. But there's still this mindset that blogs are somehow mean. Therefore, we're looking inward ...
Darren Prince Understands Athlete Felonies
We can't exactly criticize anyone else for attempting to capitalize off the Maurice Clarett sentencing yesterday: We've certainly earned our fair share of frequent flier mileage from the story....
In Case It Slipped Your Mind, Ohio State Still Hates Michigan
For the record, we're pretty sure that the Pat Forde-recommended Dead Schembechlers hate the University of Michigan more than any punk band ever hated anything, and that's saying something. So if you also hate the Wolverines, you won't want to miss the Hate Michigan Rally on Nov. 17 in Columbus, hea...
A Day At Paul Brown Stadium
So, we are sad to report that we did not make it to Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson's dramatic interpretation of the chicken dance at Cincinnati's Oktoberfest on Saturday afternoon; we figured by the time we actually made it downtown, we'd be too far away to see anything but the tip of Johnson's ...

Week In Deadspin: Clap Your Hands Say "Cough"
• If you can't punch a bouncer for yelling at you for bringing underage girls into a bar, jeez, what's the point of playing quarterback? • Everybody get fired up about your prostate! • It's not barking anymore: Now Browns fans steal your wheels. And then they poop on towels! • "Hey, Rob!" • You know...
Nothing Says "Sloth" Like A Long College Football Saturday
As has been established, tomorrow is a day for much gluttony/sloth/greed/skinny ladies' head in the box: seven pretty outstanding college football games. And no, we're not referring to Syracuse-Illinois. We are actually offended that the game is on television....
