Deadspin Loses One Hall Of Fame Vote, But Gains Another
Recently, as you know, we announced that we had purchased a Hall of Fame ballot from a veteran baseball writer, with the intention of turning it over to Deadspin readers. The idea was to give a bit of power to ordinary baseball fans, and to draw attention to the increasing absurdity of the Hall of F...
Fight Erupts In USA-Canada Women's Exhibition Game
USA-Canada is quickly becoming the kind of grudge match you can respect and not one that makes you feel uncomfortable for Robert DeNiro. Prior to last night's throwdown in Grand Forks, these two teams also had a massive brawl in October in Burlington, Vermont. That's two fights in in three months ...
Tip-In Or Not, The Nixed FGCU Miracle Bucket Was Shot In Time
College basketball has determined that three-tenths of a second, while a barely blinkable unit of time, is enough to tap in a legal shot. It is not, however, enough time to shoot a basketball if the player touches it with a second hand — at least, that seems to be the definition of a non-tap shot (c...
Transactions, Dec. 6
Today is Dom Cosentino's last at Deadspin. He's headed to NJ.com to cover the New York Jets and spend his days in Florham Park telling people, "No, I swear, I didn't write that post." We try not to be sentimental about goodbyes around these parts, but it's not easy with Dom. He is everything you'd w...

50 Years Of NCAA Football Realignment, Visualized
This Saturday's SEC championship game comes freighted with the awkwardness of college football realignment. Missouri, representing the "SEC East," will take on Auburn, representing the "SEC West," even though the latter lies a couple hundred miles closer to the Atlantic Ocean. Wacky!...
DeMarcus Cousins Continues Strict No-Handshake Policy Against Clippers
The LA-Sacramento handshake feud is officially the Capulets and the Montagues of our generation. No Sacramento King will ever again exchange ritualistic-verging-on-meaningless signs of mutual respect with a Los Angeles Clipper. Not while DeMarcus Cousins is around....
Do Not Even Think About Dapping Chris Paul In Front Of DeMarcus Cousins
Saturday's Kings-Clippers game ended with DeMarcus Cousin missing a tough, potentially game-tying shot as time expired. As Cousins was leaving the court, he noticed his teammate, Isaiah Thomas, attempting to shake Chris Paul's hand. Thomas should have known better, because Cousins was having none o...
Derrick Rose Tears Medial Meniscus, Out Indefinitely
The Bulls announced that an MRI confirmed Derrick Rose suffered a tear of his right medial meniscus last night against the Blazers. The injury will require surgery and another indefinite absence from the team. According to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, Rose is returning to Chicago and will h...
Navy Almost Lost Last Night Because They Scored Too Many Touchdowns
Navy's Keenan Reynolds set an NCAA record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback last night by finding the end zone seven times. Midshipmen coach Ken Niumatalolo would have preferred Reynolds stopped at three, because his fourth allowed a San Jose State comeback that forced Navy to win in triple o...

An Interview With Richie Incognito, Italian Teenager
Because we don't work out with Richie Incognito, we weren't able to land him for an interview. So we did the next best thing: We spoke with 17-year-old Richie Incognito, a student from Varese, Italy, and asked him his feelings on the Dolphins imbroglio....

Sitting Courtside On Press Row Can Sometimes Be Hazardous
At least it was yesterday at the Mullins Center, where UMass's Derrick Gordon and LSU's Johnny O'Bryant III took out a laptop, a couple of sodas, and some guy in a red shirt during their relentless pursuit of a loose ball. Be sure to watch Gordon completely launch himself during the slow-motion repl...
A Gallery Of Mascots Trying To Look Serious
Have you ever thought how ridiculous it looks when mascots—generally created to entertain children and hype up the crowd—are forced to put on their best pensive faces and look respectable during moments of silence? Neither had we, until coming across this When Saturday Comes forum thread celebrating...
Women's College Hockey Brawl Sets NCAA Record
On Friday night, after the final horn sounded on a not-particularly-chippy game between Bemidji State and Ohio State, the teams clashed in a massive brawl that saw 287 penalty minutes and 19 game disqualifications, both NCAA records for any division or gender....
