University Of Alabama "Appalled" At Hurricane Katrina-Referencing Sign
The #7 Alabama Crimson Tide host #4 LSU today. It should be a good game, and like any rivalry game, it’s had its fair share of fan pranks, celebrity (kinda) appearances (almost), and moments of staggering public idiocy from college students. ...

Nah, That's Not Right
Asheville, N.C. ABC station WLOS tried a bit of pre-game prognostication on its early morning show today. There are... some problems here. (Given all three picked Pitt to win, is it possible they actually believed Notre Dame is playing the Steelers?) Anyway, misspellings and such aside even big-boy ...
Latvian Dunks Basketball
Kristaps Porzingis, a Baltic giraffe who plays for the Knicks, is already cool and fun, which is a welcome surprise after a summer where he was tabbed as quite the project. Turns out being the size of telecommunications infrastructure, reasonably agile, and in possession of a shooting stroke are all...
Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Releases Statement Supporting Greg Hardy
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones released a statement tonight reiterating the team’s support for defensive end Greg Hardy after Deadspin published an account of Hardy’s alleged assault of ex-girlfriend Nicole Holder. That story was based upon hundreds of pages of police reports and court documents, ...
Big Fat Fabulist Ben Carson's West Point Story Is Bogus
Republican presidential candidate and hip-hop impresario Ben Carson is full of beans. Possibly he is as much as 82-percent beans! His tales of youthful violence keep changing, his Mannatech disavowal was bogus on its face, and now his story of receiving a full scholarship to the U.S. Military Academ...
The Greg Hardy Documents
What we know about what happened on the night police responded to a domestic violence call at Greg Hardy’s apartment building is found here, in these documents. Below, you’ll find the full versions of the documents that Deadspin received, with select identifying information redacted....
This Is Why NFL Star Greg Hardy Was Arrested For Assaulting His Ex-Girlfriend
Barefoot and frightened, Nicole Holder walked as fast as she could through the darkness, and the moment she saw the cops she ran. She headed west on Fifth Street toward North Church, away from the Charlotte., N.C., apartment of Greg Hardy, a star defensive end then with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. ...
The 27 Times You Should Not Wear Plaid Flannel
A few weeks ago, I walked into my office only to realize that everyone was wearing a slightly different version of the same shirt. I don’t mean the ubiquitous Oxford, either; we’ve reached that week in fall where everyone reverts to their plaid-patterned lumberjack staples and resigns themselves to ...
Kyle Turley: "Suicidal And Homicidal Tendencies Became A Part Of My Daily Living"
Former NFL offensive lineman Kyle Turley appeared on Highly Questionable today to push for more research into the usage of marijuana to treat football injuries, instead of pharmaceuticals. Since he retired in 2007, Turley has been quite outspoken about the damaging health effects of football. He was...
Joe Theismann Says He Did Not Tell A Man Looking For An Autograph To Grow Some Tits
On Nov. 2, someone on Twitter claimed that his uncle asked former Skins quarterback Joe Theismann for an autograph, and Theismann told the man to grow some tits. Wow, that’s harsh. Did Joe really do that? He responded today:...
One Mystery And Four Other Good Stories From The New York City Marathon
Gosh, it was fun to see a woman with some healthiness about her and FIEN—who is FIEN?—printed on her bib, out front just killing it in Sunday’s New York City Marathon. And wasn’t it a marvel to watch that cheetah Wilson Kipsang loping along at 5:05 or so per mile, easy as cracking a cold one? ...
<i>Houston Chronicle</i> Accidentally Burns Urban Meyer, Apologizes
Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer took a dig at Alabama today when he disclosed the name of his team’s field goal return play. (It’s a reference to the 2013 Iron Bowl, in which the Crimson Tide found a way to fuck up a tie game with one second left in regulation, you see.) One employee at the Housto...
Will Kobe Bryant Survive This Season?
The early part of the NBA season has been defined by a torrent of incredible Steph Curry highlights and an alternate, uglier torrent of Kobe Bryant lowlights, wherein the Lakers superstar is hopelessly air-balling shot after shot as his teammates—still regarded by Kobe as mere assistants—look on hel...
French Media Calls In Body Language Expert To Divine Ronaldo's Secret Intentions
Every couple years, the European media works itself into a bubbly froth about Cristiano Ronaldo’s future. We’re now in the thick of yet another foamy period, and perhaps because his departure might actually be imminent this time, the papers are going to absurd lengths to search for clues....
The Blues And Blackhawks Scored 10 Damn Goals In Two Periods
We get emails. Today’s email, from Mikhail, is a perfectly acceptable one:...
NASA Is Recruiting New Astronauts, But Don't Even Think About It
Guess what? NASA is recruiting a class of new astronauts, and anybody can apply starting in December. Sorry to dash any of your remaining childhood dreams, but it won’t be any of you. ...
This Shot May Not Have Counted, But It's Still Cool As Hell
Unfortunately for Celtics forward Jae Crowder, there’s some sort of rule against heaving a full-court inbound pass straight into the bucket. This rule is clearly stupid, and Crowder should have been awarded five points. ...
Chris Stapleton Is Your New "Real Country Music" Savior
So the 49th-annual Country Music Association Awards—the Grammys for people who hate ObamaCare, basically—went down last night, and the guy in this video won all the important ones. (Not Justin Timberlake; the other one, the burly, hirsute fella who looks like an extra in that new movie where Leonard...
Sad Jeb Bush Is Just Sitting Up At Night, Waiting To Chat About Football With You
Jeb Bush, the former frontrunner for the Republican Presidential nomination, may have finally hit rock bottom. Fresh off his piss-baby performance at the last debate, Jeb has now transformed into your sad uncle who just wishes that he heard from the kids more often....
