That Is Exactly What It Looks Like
What you're looking at is a picture of a kangaroo boxing a human being. A terrible human being. I'm afraid it's very real, and it's a part of the 2006 Animal Olympics. They're brought to you from China, a country that apparently believes in animal rights every bit as much as they believe in human ri...
There Is Much To Be Decided
Today's a pretty significant day in baseball, being the last day of the season and all. Quite a few things are still up in the air, particularly in the AL. And I'll be honest with you... I'm probably not going to see a second of it. I am of the belief that Sundays are for football, and that's how ...
Maybe The BALCO Reporters SHOULD Go To Jail?
As we sort through the public reaction to the possibility of "Game Of Shadows" reporters Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams heading to jail for their refusal to give up their sources, we have found something surprising: The vast majority of people we talk to about this who aren't reporters think t...

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Marcus "New Mexico" Vick
We can't take credit for the beauty that is Ron Mexico, because it came before our time, so we can only have fun with the next best thing: His little brother Marcus, who has the most fun you can possibly have without actually having herpes....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: "Run You Stupid F—-ing Dinosaur! Run!"
It began with a discussion of scoreboard races, one of our favorite little games we played earlier this year. Essentially, we asked readers to send us the wacky scoreboard races of their hometown teams, and you guys absolutely came through. We like to think we have the most definitive reference guid...
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Darren Prince
Way back in the day, we took another one of our Field Trips to see a Dennis Rodman book signing. In retrospect, we're not sure why we decided to cover a Rodman signing; "Dancing With The Stars" must have not been on that night....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Burritos
We are in a difficult position here, trying to summarize why burritos became such a large part of the Deadspin psyche. You see, we really had absolutely nothing to do with it....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Stephen A. Smith
It's fascinating to us, the long and strangely intricate association we've had with "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith." It seems unusual mostly because just about every Web site we read has more viewers than the program....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: The Vikings Sex Boat
It's rare that a big sex scandal involving players happens in the middle of the season, but, then again, not everyone can be the Minnesota Vikings. The sex cruise (for rookies!) last season derailed everything then-coach Mike Tice had planned — whatever the hell that was — and supplied countless ane...
R.I.P., Daily Quickie
And, with an oddly muted whimper — did anyone at ESPN even notice it was ending? — The Daily Quickie has shuffled off this mortal coil....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Renee Thomas And Angela Keathley
We were actually at a wedding the night before the Carolina Panthers bathroom rendezvous story broke, and by the time we woke up that Monday November morning, we felt helplessly behind on the story. We had a fear facts would cause the story to peter out by the time we caught back up....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: JJ Redick
Former Duke popped collar shooting guard J.J. Redick has been a consistent source of amusement around here for a while now, from the typical bashing of Duke to his crying during the NCAA Tournament to his weird video game experiences...
U.S. Advances Once Again: Bring On The Greeks!
In a game we actually got up to watch for you this morning, the United States coasted into the semifinals of the World Basketball Championships by scooting past Germany 85-65 in Japan. We hope you actually were near an ESPN2 at the time, because, like all week, FIBA's Web site wasn't working, even s...
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Clinton Portis
Before he was co-opted by The NFL Network and Daniel Snyder's presumably slave-waged garmentmakers, Redskins running back Clinton Portis consistently provided us immeasurable entertainment pretty much every Thursday for two months....
