Do Not Taunt West Virginia Fans
We always feel bad for college journalists who stumble across shitstorms; when we worked for our college newspaper, we just wanted to type a bit and then get out in time to drink until dawn. We wanted no trouble....
Mike Tyson's Punch Out ... LIVE!
Via Mr. Irrelevant and Bill Simmons' intern — look, we saw something on your site first, and we credited you with it; see how easy that is? — comes some pretty solid early-afternoon entertainment: A bunch of college students doing a live-action version of Mike Tyson's Punch Out....
New Mexico Packs Some Serious Heat
We've received a lot of amusing PhotoShop montages involving former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus "New Mexico" Vick, but, for some reason, we think this is our favorite one....
He Stands Before You. Clinton. Simply Clinton.
If the real sports world were like the Deadspin sports world, someone like Dennis Rodman or Joe Pepitone would be popping open some champagne this morning, 1972 Dolphins-style: The Clinton Portis madness streak has finally come to an end....
The Tecmo Bowl Playoff Preview
The glory of Tecmo Bowl has been well documented all across this great Interweb, but we're still suckers for it every time. Like most of you, we suspect, we spent a large percentage of our formative years playing Tecmo Bowl; with Timm Rosenbach, Johnny Johnson and J.T. Smith, our Phoenix Cardinals...
Blogdom's Best: Hating The Fighting Irish
Perhaps nothing says hatred like college athletics. We have witnessed the body painting, we have seen the flaming objects hurled onto the court. Yes, we have seen the pants waving from atop the flag pole. And today, we salute those pants. We believe that college athletics were invented to give stu...
Sean Taylor Needs To Practice His Spitting
If you watched last weekend's Redskins-Buccaneers game, you saw Washington safety Sean Taylor ejected for spitting on Tampa Bay running back Michael Pittman, and you know when you spit on a Marine who has been known to drive his Hummer into vehicles that contain his wife and child, there will be r...
Vince Young's NFL Ready Throwing Motion
We were sent this a while ago, and it's possible you've already seen it, but we couldn't figure out how to post animated GIFs back then, mainly because we're morons....
The Curse Of Queen City
A beleaguered Cincinnati sports fan, still reeling from Carson Palmer's knee implosion and an ugly first-round playoff exit, implores us to feel his pain by reeling off the succession of brutal injuries to befall the Queen City at the worst possible times. Witness:...
Cabrera's Linguisitic Transgressions
On the surface, the news that a complaint has been filed against Florida Marlins wunderkind outfielder Miguel Cabrera for an incident outside a Venezuela club seems pretty rote, just another athlete "scuffle" at a bar. But the story from the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel confuses us so much we can't...
Say It Ain't So, Chad
So you know, Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson — forever known as Our Hero around here — did not get in a fight with his coach Marvin Lewis at halftime of Sunday's loss to the Steelers. Who said he did, you ask?...
Engine No. 42 Makes The Hall
It's a happy day here at Deadspin headquarters: Former Cardinals closer Bruce Sutter has made the Hall of Fame. He was the only player elected to the Hall; Goose Gossage and others (including, unfortunately, Willie McGee) did not make it in....
New Mexico's Teenage Tough Love
Well, it's almost noon, and hey: Marcus "New Mexico" Vick hasn't gotten arrested yet today. Good for him!...
Up Your Butt, Jobu
Not to get all Bill Simmons on you here — if just because we consider you less readers than active participants — but, hey, this is Deadspin Nation. Robert Taylor sends us these pictures of him and his friends from last Halloween, all dressed up as the guys from Major League....
New Mexico's Busy Fortnight
Apparently, Marcus "New Mexico" Vick thinks he's a rock star ... or Phil Spector....
The Downside Of Faith And Football
When we first started this site, we were wondering the best places to find sources from within teams to dish some dirt. We figured beat reporters, sports information guys, groupies, so on. But one friend told us: "Team chaplains. Those guys know everything. Might be tough to get them to talk, thou...
Excuse Our Dust
We're having some email server issues over here, so if you've been sending your tips to [email protected] and you haven't heard back from us, it's very possible that it didn't get here. We're sorry; we're working on it....
Gheorghe Muresan Will Destroy All Bloggers
Apparently, former Washington Bullet/Billy Crystal co-star Gheorghe Muresan does a lot of meet-and-greets at Wizards game, and blogger Mark Pike was one of them and sent us this picture....
Blogdom's Best: Hating The Stanford Cardinal
Perhaps nothing says hatred like college athletics. We have witnessed the body painting, we have seen the flaming objects hurled onto the court. Yes, we have seen the pants waving from atop the flag pole. And today, we salute those pants. We believe that college athletics were invented to give stu...
Redskins Surprisingly Effective Car Salesmen
With the Redskins improbably advancing to the NFL's Final Eight, we're obviously going to be ratcheting up the Clinton Portis coverage even more than we already have, if that's not terrifying enough for you. As a little appetizer, though, we present you this gaggle of advertisements for Easterns A...
