You've seen plenty of bicycle kicks, but have you ever seen a bicycle goal celebration?

Tommy Craggs Is A Communist
You're never going to get me to say anything bad about Tommy Craggs. The guy once sent me to Panama for a story and said nothing as I blew several deadlines in a row for it. He knew I fucked up, I knew I fucked up, and he knew that I knew that he knew I fucked up, and he said nothing, presumably in ...
Tommy Craggs Owes Me Money
In August, I learned that the Jell-O people were rolling out an expanded line of college football logo Jell-O molds and that, in the course of promoting them, the Jell-O people were loudly proclaiming that they WERE NOT to be used to make Jell-O shots. I proceeded to completely lose my mind at the i...

Of course Alex Rodriguez is getting sued for selling some good investment property and stiffing his business partner out of the cash.

TK Is For Tommy Kraggs
You could tell Craggs thought he was the best writer at Deadspin because he never wrote, and when he did write, it was on the crappiest subject possible.

Hey, Guy, Just Shake Marc Gasol's Hand
After Tuesday night's game against the Hawks, Grizzlies center Marc Gasol was giving daps to fans as he headed into the locker room. One fan did not want any of Gasol's daps, though, and pulled the ol' pull-the-hand-back-and-rub-your-hair handshake prank....
How Long Can Southampton Realistically Keep This Run Going?
We figured that, by the turn of the year, we'd have a better idea of what exactly Southampton were. Are they a real threat to the Premier League's giants? Are they a club that could hang on to their top-four place? Or is their hot first half of the season a blip, a bit of good fortune that would soo...
ACC Fires Karl Hess, College Basketball's Joey Crawford
You may not immediately recognize the name Karl Hess—though if you're an ACC fan you probably do—but if you've watched a college basketball game where a referee pulled some look-at-me funny business while misapplying the rules, there's a good chance it was Hess. There was the time he ejected Tom Gug...

Yasiel Puig Will Not Be A Distraction
You can always count on Yasiel Puig to keep things interesting, even on a cold January night in the deadest of baseball's dead period. Puig, your favorite hack columnist's favorite target, made light of the "distraction" label he is often tagged with by posting this photo on Instagram tonight an...
Mario Balotelli Caught Sliding Into Some Teenage Girls' Instagram DMs
Most of the time, Mario Balotelli is really good at Instagram. Sometimes, though, he messes up. First, it was posting a dumb internet meme (that, to be fair, elicited an even dumber response by the braindead English FA). Now, we find him hitting on a couple 19-year-old Icelandic girls in their DMs...
