Most Boring NFL Team Inspires Most Boring NFL Headline
"Jaguars sign another Greg Jones." This means that half the Greg Joneses to ever play in the NFL on are on the Jacksonville roster right now. They also kind of look like each other, right? Is that racist?...
The Lakers Found A New Coach In Seven Seconds Or Less: Mike D'Antoni
ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and Marc Stein are reporting that the Los Angeles Lakers have settled on Mike D'Antoni as the team's replacement for Mike Brown. This move is surprising for a few reasons, first among them the fact that D'Antoni is still recovering from knee surgery, and as recently as last ...
Yep, That's A "Baltimore Fuckin' Maryland" T-Shirt On CBS
It's America's most-watched network for a reason. Coming up at the half, it's Shannon, Boomer, and the others with the fuckin' Verizon halftime report. [CBS]...
Everybody Get Naked: Lock Haven, Owners Of The Longest Losing Streak In D-II History, Won Today
And the fans tore down the goal posts because of it! Now the rest of football season is canceled. Just kidding, it was the last game. But it probably would have been....
An Angry Tommy Tuberville Got Physical With One Of His Assistants On The Sideline
By all accounts, a ranked Texas Tech team at home ought to be spanking the hapless Kansas Jayhawks on the football field. Alas, the score's a bit tighter than one would expect—24-17 as of this writing—and Red Raiders mistakes have made head coach Tommy Tuberville a very angry panda indeed. It's e...
In Yet Another Case Of Metrics Confusion, Hakeem Nicks Claims Stats Are Useful For Impressing Girls
Hakeem Nicks's production has fallen in recent games, partly due to a left knee injury. A reporter asked him whether he was concerned about the drop-off, and he answered in a way that briefly sent the sports analytics world into a fit of eye-rolling and furiously composing Nate-Silver-meme jokes: "S...
Your College Football Open Thread
Three weeks of regular season college football left! The process by which teams go from "disappointing start" to "wait-a-minute-are-we-even-going-to-make-a-bowl-game" was set in motion months ago, but this is when everyone notices, so there should be some excellent temper tantrums across university ...
Andre Miller Blocked The Shot Of A Guy 15 Years Younger And Eight Inches Taller Than Him
It seems like only yesterday that Andre Miller was leading his Utah Utes in the Final Four, said no one. Indeed, the real shocker about Miller's career is that he's "only" 36, though the athleticism he shows on this play tonight may even make you question that age. Here's Miller during tonight's N...
Huntingdon Golf Coach Dismissed After Profane Rant
Matt Mahanic is no longer the golf coach of the D-III Huntingdon Hawks. Not a day after we posted audio of an f-bomb-filled rant, spurred by his players finishing 11th in a 12-team tournament last month, the Methodist-affiliated school in Montgomery, Ala., removed hm from the team website, naming an...
Photoshop Contest: Help Us Find Barry Melrose
So, that Barry Melrose chat didn't go so well, did it? But we won't let that get us down! Instead of trying to figure out where the fuck heck Barry Melrose actually is, we decided that it would be way more fun to imagine all of the fun places he could be....
Last Night Reminded The World That Blaine Gabbert Is Hopeless And Chad Henne Isn't
We wondered in September why the Jaguars had refused to bench Blaine Gabbert (pictured above, on his ass)—their woeful second-year quarterback—in favor of Chad Henne, their slightly below-average (serviceable!) young veteran backup. Since then, Gabbert's play has, uh, I guess we could say picked up:...
A Thursday Blowout Offered The Quintessential Jaguars Gif
Another underwhelming Thursday Night Football matchup on paper, Indianapolis-Jacksonville had its saving grace: it was, somehow, the first and only national game this year for Andrew Luck and the frisky Colts. They didn't disappoint, having their way with the Jaguars. Which is all well and good for ...
T.I. Will Be Doing Color Commentary At The Hawks Game Tonight
If you weren't planning on watching tonight's Heat-Hawks game, you should be now, because according to a press release that was sent out this morning, rapper T.I. will be doing color commentary for at least two quarters during the game....

Chat With ESPN NHL Analyst And Former Coach Barry Melrose [UPDATE: THE CHAT HAS BEEN CANCELED BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHERE BARRY MELROSE IS]
Everyone's favorite hockey analyst, Barry Melrose, is here to answer your questions. Feel free to ask him about his coaching days, what working at ESPN is like, the NHL lockout, mullets, or anything else that your heart desires. And be sure to check out Melrose's new book, Dropping the Gloves: Insid...
Profane Rant By D-III Christian College's Golf Coach Is A Thing To Behold
You could forward through the first 1:55 of this clip to get to the yelling and the screaming and the oh-so-many bad words. You could. But you shouldn't, because the buildup is what makes the explosion so great. Calm, helpful strategy gives way to praise for the one player who shot a decent round,...
Nick Saban Cutout Stolen From Gas Station, Returned To Gas Station; Nation Exhales
We can barely keep up with all the breaking Nick-Saban-cutout news. We were just processing the horrible reports—wondering how to tell the children, really—that a life-size cutout of the Alabama coach was stolen from a Tuscaloosa gas station early this morning. We were roughly two-thirds through Küb...
Ask Joe Buck Whatever Your Despicable Heart Desires
We have Fox broadcaster and occasional Deadspin contributor Joe Buck in the discussion below. He'll be taking your questions for however long he can stand it. Fire away, Deadspinners. ...
Mike Keenan, The NHL's Last Great Asshole Coach
Playing for coach Mike Keenan in Chicago was like camping on the side of an active volcano. You had to accept the reality that he erupted regularly and that there was always a danger of being caught in his lava flow. He was a tyrant, a schoolyard bully, an oldschool coach who tried to motivate playe...
Steve Blake Apologized To The Fan He Cursed Out, Possibly Because The Fan's Father Is A Big Shot
Friday's "home" loss to the Clippers was frustrating for the then-winless Lakers, and especially for Steve Blake. Getting his first start of the season, Blake racked up three times as many fouls as baskets. Blake heard it from the crowd, but specifically from one fan named Lance Jackson, sitting c...
Three Idiots Have Voted For Nick Saban For President (So Far)
It's early on Election Day, but so far two Alabama football fans have voted for Nick Saban for president, while one more has voted for "Nicolas Saban," presumably a frightening hybrid of the Alabama coach and Santa Claus....
