Toledo Frat Boy Surprisingly Consumed With Informing You About His Penis
There's been plenty of scoring in the first quarter of MACtion between NIU and Toledo—the Huskies lead 21-14 early, helped by two Tommylee Lewis kickoff return TDs— but this Toledo fratter's looking for some scoring of his own, from the looks of his sign and the very subtle crotch-grab with which ...
Rex Ryan Honors Joe Namath By Wearing His Jersey; Joe Namath Responds By Calling Rex Ryan A Fat Mess
For some reason, seemingly everything Broadway Joe says about the current Jets makes news in New York, where The Guarantee is something of a Sermon on the Mount for aging sportswriters. Namath has been especially critical this season of Rex Ryan, questioning the Jets' preparation on one occasion an...
(NSFW) Remembering Humphries-Kardashian: A Video Tribute To An American Romance
We did this after Kim split with Reggie Bush, so it's the least we could do for sad-sack power forward Kris Humphries, who seems hellbent for humiliation by the Kardashian media machine until he signs the damn divorce papers. I mean, seriously: when Mr. and Mrs.Humphries show up on TMZ to beg Kim ...

UNC And Michigan State Will Wear Ugly Camo Uniforms In Game On Aircraft Carrier
Now is as good of a time as any to remind the world that in just a week and a half, two premier college basketball programs will be playing an actual game that will actually count on a giant aircraft carrier on the water in San Diego.

Mark Brunell Is Broke
How did Brunell, with 18 NFL seasons under his belt and more than $50 million in earnings, find himself with comically turned inside-out pocket? Pretty much the same way all broke professional athletes lose their money: a series of bad investments, including a failed Whataburger franchise....
The Jets Are Being Babies About Their Thursday Night Game
Mike Mayock says the Jets are "upset" and "frustrated" at being the only team to play a Thursday night game after a Sunday night game (instead of after a Sunday afternoon game) when they head to Denver in week 11. So just a heads-up now: if the Jets lose to a hapless Broncos team, they're going to c...
Andre Agassi Is: Mr. T
This one comes courtesy of Dylan Stableford, Deadspin's tennis correspondent, who found it on Australian tennis coach Darren Cahill's Twitter feed. Andre Agassi seems to have borrowed Raffi Torres's burnt cork for this one. All the loving attention to detail—the darkened arms, the feather dangling f...
A Muppet Interfered On WWE Raw Last Night
Back in the early 90s, wrestling was criticized as being for kids. Characters were cartoonish, issues were black and white, storylines were g-rated. Then the Attitude Era came, and realism and edginess were prized. In 2011, Beaker helps an Italian stereotype win a match....
Hugging A Member Of The Opposite Hockey Team After Scoring A Goal Will Probably Get You Punched In The Face
And we all have Henrik Eriksson of Mora IK in Sweden to thank for that demonstration. [SportsGrid, via Puck Daddy]...

Prestigious Sportswriter Makes Prestigious Publication For His Kim Kardashian Tweet
I think we'll all remember today as the day the internet made the same three jokes 80,000 times. (As I write this, #ThingsLongerThanKimsMarriage and #kimkmarriagewasshorter are dueling for the top spot on Twitter's trending topics.) But it takes a certain kind of man to toss out the obvious obvious ...
Here's West Virginia's Lawsuit Against The Big East, Which Is "No Longer A Viable And Competitive Football Conference"
On Friday, West Virginia announced that they're heading to the Big 12, which was a poorly kept secret. So poorly kept that the Big East has been preparing a lawsuit to force them to honor the terms of their agreement: that departing schools must stay in the conference for 27 months before leaving. T...
The Chargers Sent A Concussed Player Back Into The Game, And Then He Had A Seizure
Wonder why the Chargers' left guard Kris Dielman is listed as "out" for tonight's game? It's not necessarily because the Chargers need a refresher in concussion protocol and played him for nearly a full quarter after obviously getting trauma-ed. Though that probably didn't help....
Here's Another Cool Scorecard From Game 6
Perhaps World Series Game 6 has faded from your mind, as the series ended Friday night with not a bang but a whimper. But you should recall, in any case, that Game Six was pretty fucking cool. We posted New Yorker writer Roger Angell's scorecard and asked Deadspin readers for theirs. This one comes ...
JaVale McGee To Become The Latest Non-Filipino On The Philippines National Basketball Team (UPDATE)
The Philippines is a nation crazy about basketball. Sick of always losing to China in the FIBA Asia Championships, which act as qualifiers for the Olympics and World Championships, the country has taken advantage of some lax laws on citizenship to stock their team with talent from around the world. ...
The Rock Is: Fred Flintstone
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson dressed as a Flintstone from Bedrock. This works because of, you know, rocks; this fails because Fred Flintstone could never be so freakishly ripped. The John Goodman movie was awful, but John Goodman was the right schlub for the part. Still: credit to The Rock for (possibl...
