More Hasselhoff On Your Friday Night Than You Probably Expected

The three stars of the evening: Dirk Nowitzki, who had 30 points, 14 boards, and 6 assists. Josh Howard, who had 29 points and 7 boards. And David Hasselhoff, who is th...
Week In Deadspin: "Get Away From Me, Carl Monday!"
• So we probably don't need to say much more about our new friends Mike Cooper and Carl Monday. • If only people loved themselves as much as they love a horse. • ESPN anchors are now GQ models. History will not think of us well, people. • Careful of those trampolines, kiddo. • Pat Robertson is pac...
Your All-Time Best Mascot Winner
A while back, we put together a list of the wimpiest and most unusual nicknames and mascots in sports. But earlier today, a reader sent us the team that's pretty much the hands-down winner. The Rhode Island School Of Design NADS....
Just Another Manic Monday
Before the week runs its course and we head into our pleasant weekend of barbecues and hangovers, we just wanted to once again salute the genius of CLEVELAND'S INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER Carl Monday, who continues to blow the lid of the cottage "jerking off in a library to get away from one's terrifyi...
Cars Go Around In Circles Very Fast
It's Memorial Day weekend, so that means it's time for the Indianapolis 500, which isn't as cool as it used to be, though it helps to have attractive women racing. Growing up where we did, the Indy 500 was pretty much the most awesomest thing on earth when we were a kid, so we're glad to see it comi...
A Match Made In Bristol
That "Mike and Mike Wedding Madness" wedding happened this morning, with the two Florida Gators fans hitching up in front of the his-and-her Gators mascots, Bill Walton and a smattering of ESPN2 viewers....

What Not To Do On A Trampoline
To distract you from the apparently false Neil Everett rumor below, here's that trampoline basketball injury that, we agree, desperately needed its own post. Honestly, we're so glad our parents didn't have a trampoline growing up, because this totally would have happend to us....
Steve Nash Politely Reminds You He's The MVP (In A Canadian Way)
Best thing we've read saw far today? True Hoop's headline "If He Keeps That Up, People Are Going To Start Thinking Steve Nash Is The MVP." Yeah, no kidding....

Western Conference Pants Party: Mavs Vs. Suns
We miss the defense-less days when every game between these two would have totalled nearly 300 points, but that's OK: This'll still work just fine....
Rony Seikaly Is No One-Woman Man
Far be it from us to tell a woman how to live her live, but we just don't see much upside in model Elsa Benitez hanging out with estranged husband (and former hairy NBA center) Rony Seikaly anymore....

Not excited enough for the Western Conference Finals tonight? Well, if this video doesn't pump you up, nothing will....
Jake Plummer, Terror On The Road
It's easy to forget now, but for a while there last year, Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer was having a pretty cool year. The Broncos had the best record in football, some were touting him as an MVP candidate and some even thought he could lead the team to the Super Bowl. And then the blowout and ...
One Awfully Strange Way Of Celebrating
We don't know how we missed this the other evening, but apparently, with seconds left and the Mavericks all set to celebrate, coach Avery Johnson ran down the bench to make a substitution. In all his excitement and hurry, he appears to have pulled a Reggie Evans on Josh Howard....

ESPN Rocks Down Alison Road
An intrepid tipster sends us this beauty of an invite, encouraging ESPN employees to come to the Bristol cafeteria this Friday for that "Mike And Mike In The Morning" wedding and see the Gin Blossoms rock the buffet line like it has never been rocked before....
Mariotti Now Universally Acclaimed As Lazy, Slobbish, Gassy
It's tough to decide whom to dislike more: White Sox catcher AJ Pierzynski or Chicago Sun-Times and "Around The Horn" gasbag Jay Mariotti. Particularly if you're a Cubs fan. After the big interleague tussle last weekend, Pierzynski was on "Pardon The Interruption" yesterday and went after Mariotti...
Seminoles Institute New "Anti-Cocaine" Policy
Some bad news for Jon Kreft, that Florida State recruit who was arrested for having cocaine in his ass (that's a crime??!!): The Seminoles have rescinded their scholarship offer. He clearly has failed to met the exemplary moral standards expected of the students of Florida State University....
At Last, Nash And Nowitzki, Together Again
While trying to find video of a time when Mavericks coach Avery Johnson's voice was deep — we imagine it just one day rising, like reverse puberty — we came across this apparent promotional video for the Mavs. "The Avery Bunch" are heading to the Western Conference Finals, where they will face the P...
