Here's Rex Ryan Wearing An "I'd Hit That" Shirt
We've long known way more about Rex Ryan's dietary exploits—and his sex life—than we ever wanted to. We recently learned that he had lost over 100 pounds, which evidently means he can flaunt his frame in T-shirts with naughty puns on them. Congratulations?...
No Really, Look At This Fucking Hoopster
Tipster Ryan sent us this image of a hoopster at Lollapalooza, and this man is now the official king of all hoopsters. Irony will never be the same after this....
Sure It Looks Bad If You Draw A Swastika On It: Foreign Olympics News NBC Couldn't Justify With A Gallup Poll
Deadspin and Gelf Magazine bring you the best (or at least the most interesting) foreign-produced journalism about the London Olympics. ...
The <i>New York Times</i> Tries Its Hand At Animated Gifs. It Does Not Go Well.
If Buzzfeed and the Times made a baby, and it had epilepsy, it would look like this: "10 Animated GIFs From London 2012." These gifs are different—they're constructed from rapid fire shots taken by the Times's photographers, rather than from actual moving pictures. It sort of defeats the entire purp...
Look At This Fucking Heapster
Reader Landon sends this in from a free Grimes concert in New York City last night. Look at this fucking Heapster, indeed....
The PGA Tour Reminds Us Yet Again That South Carolina Is A Deathswamp
This video, of a big-ass alligator eating a big-ass snake, comes from yesterday's round one action in the PGA Championship, at Kiawah Island. NBD. Happens all the time. Back in April at the Heritage Classic in Hilton Head, the gators were actually threatening the caddies. Gator Golf is not nearly ...
The Red Sox Are Losing Because John Lackey Likes To Double-Fist Beers, Writes Moron
The Red Sox lost a baseball game last night, dropping their record to three games below .500, and you know what that means, don't you? It's time for some dumb columnist to turn into Carrie Nation and throw some shit at the wall. CSN New England's Joe Haggerty did just that when he published this ar...
USA Basketball: America Plays The Olympics In God Mode
There is something almost inherently unlikable about Team USA basketball. Our basketball heroes stand at the heart of the American attitude toward international competition—a belief system with a one-line catechism, "Are we winning?" and for which the Olympics is the most ecstatic of holy festivals....
Photos Of Usain Bolt Looking Bored As He Blows Past The Best Runners In The World
His dominance is frustrating, maddening. Not because he wins all the time, or because it's never even close. But because Usain Bolt, the fastest sprinter ever to run the earth, doesn't even need to try....
Grand Quarterback Pronouncements Based On A Few Preseason Drives
There were six less-than-meaningless games across the NFL last night, twelve chances for fans and media to judge and project their quarterbacks over an entire season based solely on a quarter of half-speed action. That's the entire point of preseason football—unrealistic expectations take wing....
Why Your Team Sucks 2012: Carolina Panthers
Some people are fans of the Carolina Panthers. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Carolina Panthers. This 2012 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read the other Why Your Team Sucks 2012 previews here....
A Blockbuster Dwight Howard Trade Is About To Happen, And Chris Broussard Is AWOL (Update: He's Back!)
The Olympics are still continuing in their tape-delayed glory and the NFL preseason has now begun in earnest, but everyone is abuzz with talk that a blockbuster, four-team deal that would send Magic center Dwight Howard to the Lakers is imminent. Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski first reported early this ...
Michael Vick Just Did The One Thing You Never, Ever Want To Do In A Preseason Game (UPDATE)
Don't get injured. For any NFL player reasonably assured of a starting job, the last thing anyone ever wants to do in the preseason is get injured. That's why Eagles fans, in lieu of any more reliable information at the moment, are collectively holding their breaths after seeing Michael Vick slam ...
"I Would Like To Extend You A Counter-Offer To Suck My Dick": A Rejected Jobseeker Sends The Padres The Best Letter Ever
Taylor Grey Meyer estimates that she applied for a job with the San Diego Padres at least 30 times since moving to Coronado, Calif. Initially, in the sales office; but as she was alternately rejected and ignored, she lowered her sights. This past March, she applied for a minimum-wage job selling tic...
Looks Like The Redskins Will Be Just Fine With Griffin At Quarterback
You've got to be feeling good if you're a Washington Redskins fan. Your team signs cornerback Cedric Griffin in the offseason to help bolster your secondary, but it turns out (at least according to ESPN.com) that he's a more-than-capable stopgap at quarterback, filling in until Robert Griffin III is...
Zach Galifianakis And Will Ferrell Race To The Middle. <em>The Campaign</em>, Reviewed.
1. That The Campaign could never come up with a fictional scenario that would rival the absurdity of what actually happens in our daily political discourse is an obvious point, yet one that needs to be made again nevertheless. Is any sort of shtick that Will Ferrell could dream up odder than a reali...
Olympics Brand Police Not Happy About Athletes Humping With Unauthorized Condoms
As we've seen again and again (and again), the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) protects Olympic sponsors with the ferocity of a mother bear protecting its cubs. That extends to condoms: when Australian BMXer Caroline Buchanan tweeted this picture of "a bucket ...
Olympic Cyclist Sent Home After Getting Really, Really Wasted
Belgium's Gijs Van Hoecke had an OK showing last week: a 15th-place finish in the multi-discipline omnium, and part of a ninth-place sprint team. But for the vast, vast majority of Olympians, it's not about medals. It's about the entire experience, and that includes drinking enough to kill a small f...
Hungary Forced Overtime In Women's Water Polo With A Buzzer-Beating Sneak Attack
It was all over, and then it wasn't. In the women's water polo bronze medal game, Australia looked like it had everything sewn up when goalkeeper Alicia McCormack stopped Rita Keszthelyi's long-range shot with about 10 seconds to go. The celebration began, since all the Aussies had to do was run ou...
A Former Olympic Synchronized Swimmer Is Here To Answer Your Questions
Everyone meet Bridget Finn: member of the U.S. synchronized swimming team that took fifth at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, seven-time member of the national team, assistant coach on Stanford's national championship-winning squad in 2006-07.
