The Deadspin Pizza Idiots Investigate: <em></em>Which Chain Pizza Is The Least Awful?

John Gibson's Glove Save Was So Good, It Fooled Whoever Operates The Goal Horn
There’s a weird tic of hockey writers where every great save has to be framed as a “save of the year candidate.” I do this too. Was tempted to do it here. Why? Why can’t we just set up a great save with “here’s a great save”? Do we not trust readers to watch a highlight unless we position it as a po...
TCU's John Diarse Lays Out For Spectacular One-Handed Touchdown Grab
Third-ranked Oklahoma jumped out to a 17-0 lead over TCU after just four total possessions this afternoon, and very much looked poised to run away from the Horned Frogs.

The Man Cops Say Is My Neighborhood Serial Killer Was A Basketball Walk-On At St. John's
For almost two months, my neighborhood in Tampa has been terrorized by a serial killer. Four people are dead, with nothing connecting them other than that they live here in Seminole Heights.

Tennessee AD John Currie Is Now Under Fire For Bungling The Greg Schiano Hire
The University of Tennessee athletic department is currently in full-on crisis mode thanks to the bungled hiring of Greg Schiano, and the apparent and baffling lack of vetting behind the decision-making process that led to that hiring.

Oh Great, Now John Wall's Knee Is An Issue, This Is Just Fucking Great
The top of the NBA’s Eastern Conference is a little deeper than most observers expected it to be before the season. The Celtics are kicking everyone’s ass. The Pistons are good.

The Broncos Are A Mess
The Broncos started the season 3-1 and looked decent while doing it. But Week 6, after the bye week, brought an embarrassing loss to the Giants, and things have somehow gotten worse since then. Yesterday’s 20-17 loss to the Bengals has them at 3-7 and in last place in the AFC West....
I Can’t Get Enough Of The Stupid NFL Pizza Wars<em></em>
Earlier this week the Papa John’s Twitter account, which apparently thinks it is a real person, bravely denounced Nazis who might enjoy its product and apologized for dipping their garlicky, ranchy toes into the middle of an NFL civil war. And while I love it when a brand publicly steps on its own n...
