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...

Hazing, Or An Endorsement Of Intimate Apparel?
When it comes to accusations of boys being forced to wear lingerie and drink hard liquor, I could really go either way. If it's Michael Jackson doing it, then sure, there could be some cause for concern. When it's being done voluntarily by high school baseball players... I'm probably OK with it....

At Last, Some Attention For Water Polo
I don't feel like we have enough stories here on Deadspin that feature high school boys having their clothes confiscated by school administrators. Today, I seek to right this wrong....

Dr. Z Hangs Out With Swimsuit Models
We know, we know: The unconditional love for SI scribe Rick Reilly's "Riffs Of Reilly" segment — sample comedic genius moment: "USC's quarterback is John David Booty and Texas' is Colt McCoy. Hey, weren't both those guys on 'Gunsmoke?'" Oh, Rick, you slay us! — makes you think that SI.com must be so...

Don't Worry, The Lojack Will Not Affect His 40 Time
Interesting story in yesterday's Washington Post about a high school football player in Maryland. The young fellow's name is Pat Lazear, and there's a lot on his resume: 6'2", 225, 4.6 seconds in the 40, he starts at linebacker, running back, and punter, and oh yeah, he's facing armed robbery charge...

Get Thee To A Newsstand (Or SI.com, At Least)
Though we grew up thinking he was the the best sportswriter on the planet — and one of our favorite journalists anywhere — we'll confess souring somewhat on Sports Illustrated scribe Gary Smith in recent years. His writing was still top-notch, but it was beginning to become repetitive. He'd either w...
