• Reads the caption: "Michelle Kwan was named one of People Magazine's '50 Most Beautiful People' in 2000." And here's her nipple. Or, as I like to call it, Kwannipple....
Today In College Basketball...
• #1 UConn 81, #11 West Virginia 75. UConn just put the finishing touches on a tough road win at West Virginia in the only game of the day between two ranked teams. UConn's big men were just a bit much for Kevin Pittsnogle to handle, but I think he still leads the nation in the amount of ink injec...
Johnny Weir Is Huge In Kansas. And In The Glute Area.
Eventually, yes, the Johnny Weir posts will stop. But not today. I think I might be developing a crush on the guy, and I'm not even gay....
Dick Vitale Nominated For Basketball Hall Of Fame. No, Really.
Up for induciton into the Basketball Hall of Fame are names like Charles Barkley. Dominique Wilkins. Joe Dumars. Gene Keady. Adrian Dantley. And when last night's SportsCenter made mention of the sixteen new nominees for the Basketball Hall, what name was the first out of Steve Levy's mouth? Dick...
Black Guy Wins Gold Medal
American Shani Davis won a gold medal earlier today in the 1000m speedskating event, becoming the first black person to win an individual gold medal in Winter Olympic history. Debi Thomas won a bronze in figure skating in 1988, and Vonetta Flowers won a gold medal as a member of the women's bobsle...
Just How Drunk Was Eddie Sutton?
Well, he blew a .22. To figure out how many drinks per hour that is, first, we have to take a guess at the man's weight. Now, I've been fired from my job trying to guess people's weight at the carnival three or four times, so I'm not very good at it. But if we guess an even 200 pounds, consuting ...
Bode Bites It Once More; French Guy Gets Robbed
In his third stab at medaling in the Torino Games, Bode Miller once again has refused to conform to society's unjust request for him to win something. NBC's going to let the anticipation build for 8 more hours before showing it to us, but this time, Bode hit a gate, lost his balance, skied off the...
The Special Edition That Wasn't There
We've always been curious about what happens to those pre-made shirts that say things like "Houston Astros 2005 World Series Champions" — it turns out this is what happens — but now we have a new question: What about those "special editions" newspapers put together weeks in advance that end up bei...
Man, Tommy Maddox Has Really Let Himself Go
You know, we understand that beards are the big thing in the NFL playoffs right now, but honestly, we had no idea this guy was a starting quarterback in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. (He's from the World Beard Championships, in case you were wondering.)...
A Differing View On Davis' Trip Into The Stands
Deadspin reader Tom Malkin was in a section right by Antonio Davis' wife during the incident at the United Center last night, and he has a very different take on what actually happened prior to Davis' stomp upstairs. Here's an excerpt:...
Welcome To The Golf Course, Baby ... You Gonna DIIIIIEEEE!
We hadn't seen any pictures of Axl Rose lately — we still imagine the former Guns 'N Roses frontman growing his fingernails long and collecting jars of his own urine, Aviator-style, while he watches Velvet Revolver videos and flicks a lamp on ... and off ... and on — but this more recent one struc...
"Football! Go Steelers! Weeee!"
Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer has been having a grand time this week showing pictures of borderline insane sports fans and the lengths they will go to support their team; our personal favorites are the guy with all the Steelers tattoos and the Seahawks fan who calls himself "Cannonball."...
Life With Father
We've been reading the news about tennis star Jelena Dokic and the troubles she's been having with her dad, and we have to say, what father hasn't felt like dropping a nuclear bomb on his child at one time or another? Sure, there's going to be a certain amount of collateral damage. But you're the ...
Does This Make Him A Five-Tool Player?
Either huge fantasy sports Web site Rotoworld was hacked into around midnight last night ... or they're introducing a new category in fantasy baseball this year....
What Really Happened In The Stands? Nothing.
As most of you have probably already seen this morning, Knicks forward Antonio Davis ran into the stands last night in Chicago to "protect his wife from an intoxicated fan." Davis said, "I saw him touch her, and I know I should not have acted the way I did, but I would have felt terrible if I didn...
This Is Not A Picture Of Chastity Bono
Far be it from us to mock a guy for going back to rediscover his roots and promote the game of baseball internationally ... but sweet God, what has happened to former Reds reliever Danny Graves? When you get back from Vietnam, before you head to Indians training camp ... might we suggest a workou...
Need Tickets ... Need Tickets ...
We were complaining, oh, two posts ago, about not enough fans being appropriately ecstatic about the conference championship games this week, but in the host cities, that's anything but the case. It's time for our weekly look at the most expensive tickets on eBay (those that actually have a bid) f...
We Pity The Grant Wistrom
We're noticing a rather bewildering lack of excitement about the conference championship games this weekend; it's almost as if fans have pretended they're network executives and are frustrated there are no New York, Boston or Chicago teams playing. Come on, guys! It's the NFL! It's for the Super B...
Poll: Isiah Wins, But It's Closer Than You Think
Well, the results are in from our poll about a theoretical (for now) fight between Isiah Thomas and Bill Simmons, and, well, we're rather shocked: You give Simmons a lot better chance of winning this duel than we possibly could have though. Out of Deadspin readers, 46.2 percent of you think Simmo...
