The Deadspin Polygraph Test! Will Leitch!
Welcome to the Deadspin Polygraph Test, where I choose a random person in the sports world and subject them to a series of embarrassing and deeply personal questions, almost all of which involve sex or poop.

Outstanding Acheivers In Beijing Not Named Michael Phelps
• I really can't stand to watch gymnastics more than once every four years. It's agonizing.

It was Johnson's third silver me...

A Little Music For the Late Night Crowd
Thanks to Awful Announcing for providing video of the worst rap in the history of car commercials (and that's a long list). I would have liked to have been in the room when the ad guys pitched this to Lou and Ozzie. I bet it sounded a lot more like the rap we're used to. Well, the vocabulary at leas...
