TCU Blocks Oregon Punt; Oregon Ends Up With First Down Anyway
I’ve only seen this happen once before in my life: a team gets their punt blocked, recovers the blocked punt, and gains a first down. This is incredibly bad luck for a TCU team that’s down big (and down their quarterback)....
Report: This Is The Trevone Boykin Bar Fight Video
TMZ Sports claims that this is video of the bar fight that got TCU star quarterback Trevone Boykin arrested and suspended from tonight’s Alamo Bowl against Oregon. Boykin apologized for the incident via Twitter, and coach Gary Patterson had the scathing take that, “Everybody makes decisions.”...

Sports Overtime Rules, Ranked
Every sport has a different way of dealing with a game that ends in a tie. Some overtimes are wonderful and compelling, while others are boring and lame. Here’s Deadspin’s non-exhaustive ranking of sports overtime rules....
24 Winter Beers, Ranked
Winter beer is a slippery category that used to comprise slightly boozy ales brewed with spices and odd grains, but has long since metastasized to include not only those traditional “winter warmers,” but also just about any damn thing a brewery’s marketing department feels like hanging a snowflake o...
Rajon Rondo's Statement Looks A Lot Like Kobe Bryant's Statement
The NBA suspended Sacramento Kings guard Rajon Rondo for one game without pay after he called referee Bill Kennedy a “faggot” in a Dec. 3 game. (Kennedy publicly came out after the incident.) Rondo tweeted a statement, which wasn’t actually an apology, but the weirdest part is that his statement rea...
Report: Doc Rivers Never Used Anti-Gay Slur Against NBA Ref Bill Kennedy
When NBA referee Bill Kennedy came out as gay after being called a “faggot” by Kings point guard Rajon Rondo, an old story about a confrontation between Kennedy then-Celtics coach Doc Rivers during a 2009 playoff game started making the rounds. The story, as recalled by disgraced NBA ref Tim Donaghy...
NBA Ref Bill Kennedy Announces He's Gay, Days After Rajon Rondo's Suspension For Calling Him A "Faggot"

16 Rock-Themed Beers, Ranked
There are currently more breweries than at any time in American history, which is cool enough, but what’s even better is the gargantuan number of beers they combine to produce. Long gone are the whatever-old days when a brewery could get by offering just a few different styles. For more than a centu...
Scooby-Doo Theme Songs, Ranked
The notion of a jock, a grind, a beauty queen, a burnout, and a large, anthropomorphic canine piling into a detailed van to solve mysteries has proven indisputably, irresistibly evergreen. In the 46 years since Joe Ruby and Ken Spears co-midwifed Scooby-Doo, this franchise has become a cross-media j...
Coe's Dilemma: Does This Bribery And Corruption Make Me Look Complicit?
Back in July, when in Sebastian Coe’s telling he was as pure and innocent as a spring lamb in the #2 spot at the International Association of Athletics Federations, he was in fact mulling over whether “we” in the West (meaning the US and Europe, maybe Canada, but definitely not Mexico) were being to...
Wu-Tang Clan Album Skits, Ranked
Prince Paul and De La Soul popularized the hip-hop skit, and Dr. Dre turned the concept cinematic, but the nine-man Wu-Tang Clan raised it to the level of esoteric art. Mixing stream-of-blunted-consciousness talk with pulp-fiction plot twists, copious gunshots, and equal parts skewed humor and authe...
The 26 Weirdest Adult Swim Shows Ever
Adult Swim, the Cartoon Network adult-programming block that has delighted and confused stoners and insomniacs for nearly 15 years, has built a hugely viable brand by producing lots of really weird shit. They love to test the limits of what can be aired on cable TV, from animation to live-action sur...
14 Vodkas, Ranked
Americans drink more vodka than any other spirit, although whiskey has been gaining ground in recent years. Despite—eh, who are we kidding, because of—its mass appeal, vodka is disdained by most cocktail snobs, which is reason enough to celebrate its continued prominence. But vodka has uses far beyo...
We’re Not Allowed At A Talk By The NFL’s Domestic Violence Expert
Last week, Deadspin published a transcript of Greg Hardy’s NFL hearing, wherein a panel of NFL representatives equipped with the CBA rulebook and court transcripts reviewed the domestic violence charges brought against the current Cowboys defensive end by his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Holder. One of the...
WADA Report: Drug Testing Works, But Bribery Works Better
The corruption at the top of track and field and the institutionalized doping miasma makes me tired. It’s supposed to. If it is ugly and confusing enough, lousy with unintelligible acronyms, most observers will just say, The hell with it, they’re all juiced to the gills, and most athletes will say, ...
Dana Holgorsen High-Fived Trevone Boykin Because He "Didn't Know What The Hell Else To Do"
West Virginia got whomped by TCU last night, losing 40-10 while allowing Horned Frogs star quarterback Trevone Boykin to carve them up for 388 yards passing, 84 yards rushing, and four total touchdowns. At one point, Boykin made a play so filthy that West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen couldn’t ...
Coming Soon To Seattle-Area High School Football: Satanic Invocations (UPDATE)
The legal position on prayer in public school in America is, generally, settled. Across decades of cases, the Supreme Court has held that religion may not be included in school-sponsored activities, but that students may independently gather for religious purposes. But a high school football coach i...
Lorenzo Cain Yosted Himself
If the Royals had lost last night, Lorenzo Cain’s disastrous attempt at bunting with a man on second and nobody out in the eighth inning of a 4-3 game would be under a hell of a lot more scrutiny today. It was a classic, self-defeating Ned Yost moment, except for the fact that it wasn’t Ned Yost’s i...
