Yeah, We Want To Simulate THIS Guy
A couple of weeks ago, we told you about JJ Redick's appearance on the cover of NCAA College Hoops 2K7. Well, it turns out, it's much worse than you thought: They're actually doing the whole mo-cap suit thing to simulate his movements....
NBA Rookies, Striking A Pose

The Return Of The Cultural Oddsmaker
One of our favorite features of the late Oddjack was the Cultural Oddsmaker, editor A.J. Daulerio's strange odds on everything you wish you could bet on but can't. (We loved them so much, we even wrote one.) So we are very honored to return them to a wanting nation here at Deadspin, starting today....
Does Redick Have Bigger Worries Than The DUI?
This image, put together lovingly by our friends at Bad Idea Blue Jeans, pretty much sums up reaction to Day 2 of the JJ Redick story: Yep, it's still unbridled glee, all around....
Revisiting The Day's Top Story ... Redick!
So, drinking and driving causes thousands of deaths a year, is extremely dangerous, completely irresponsible and potentially destructive. Drunken driving costs lives, and therefore isn't funny. OK? We're covered here, yes? Good....
JJ Redick ... DUI. Seriously.
Not to pile on here, but we'd say the odds are pretty good this is going to make him cry....
If You Can Make It There ...
We know that the obvious death of boxing has been thoroughly documented and dissected, but we kind of think this pretty much pushes it into the kitsch category....

In Case You Need Just A LITTLE More Duke Hate
Yes, yes, we know that Duke has been out of the tournament for coming up on a week now, and yes, we know that everybody loves George Mason and that's all that really matters. But that doesn't mean people have satiated their bloodlust for Duke hatred. Witness, this video from a bored student having f...
It Gets The Feelings Out
The question has been asked by sports fans for a while now, and it's tough to get a straight answer: Is it all right to cry? Howard Stern's old radio show once ran a montage of celebrities crying in public, and though the sentiments were sincere enough, it was difficult to hear the clips without h...
Coach K Will Eat Your Child
We want to make this clear: We have no problem, inherent, with Duke University, coach Mike Krzyzewski, the state of North Carolina, blue-colored demons or anyone who is not a dog but might still have the unfortunate nickname of "Duke."...
J.J. Redick's Coming Out Party
And we thought the USC girl celebrating a Texas touchdown would've been the best photo of the week? Never underestimate the cleverness of a sneaky Terrapin fan....
Poll Results: Super-Size New Mexico!
You have spoken, dear readers, and it's perhaps little surprise that you'd be most afraid to run into Marcus "New Mexico" Vick at your local McDonald's. You know what's cool, though? He has a THUG LIFE tattoo across his McRib....
Poll: Whom Do You Least Want To Run Into At McDonald's?
We still haven't quite come to terms with the bat-shit crazy weirdness of Marcus "New Mexico" Vick whipping out a gun at McDonald's the day after he declared for the NFL Draft, but it did get us to thinking: We haven't been to McDonald's for a long, long time. At first, we thought it was because w...
Jim Mora, Blowin' Up!
Four days after his outburst following the Falcons' playoff hopes-ending loss to Tampa Bay last week, Atlanta coach Jim Mora Jr. is still doing damage control. In case you missed it, Mora, doing a radio interview with the Falcons' affiliate after the game, flipped out after being asked about a que...
An all-around ugly day for Texas
The black jerseys, the blowout against Duke... and it's probably not going to get better when Vince Young comes up short this evening. Sorry fellas. More poetry......
For Relaxing Times, It's Dunleavy Time
Via Pardon The Eruption and Yay!Sports comes this pretty classic photo of Warriors guard Mike Dunleavy Jr. It was taken on Golden State's media day, apparently some part of a "promotion," though the only thing we can imagine this is "promoting" is a reason for Oakland-area women to stay single....
