Gangnam Style Is Officially Dead, Dez Bryant Is Not: Your Sunday NFL GIF Roundup [UPDATED]
We'll be putting all our GIFs for the day here from a Joe Morgan flip play that does not involve the Dave Concepción to Dez Bryant getting drilled in the head. We'll update the post as the later games conclude, so stay tuned. ...
Fan Runs Onto Field In The Middle Of Live Play During Florida State-Miami Game
Idiots On The Field tend to perform their antics during breaks in play; that's why security guards ring the baselines in between innings of baseball games, et cetera. Tonight's Idiot in Miami took things to a whole new level, though, rushing onto the field during a play in the first quarter of Fl...
Texas Tech And TCU Combine For 37 Points After The End Of The Fourth Quarter, But Texas Tech Comes Out Ahead
Texas Tech and TCU combined to score 109 points in an incredible game that took a solid four hours and saw a hundred or so lead changes. After excellent individual performances from Texas Tech QB Seth Doege, TCU WR Skye Dawson, TCU Kicker Jaden Oberkrom (who went an icy 11/11 on field goals and ex...
The Big Bad NCAA Swings The Hammer On New Jersey, And Pretty Much Whiffs
The state of New Jersey is going to allow sports betting, starting January 2013, and the NCAA is miffed. As Yahoo's Dan Wetzel put it,...
This Week's Signs Of The Apocalypse
For nearly two decades, Sports Illustrated has stirred the tea leaves to discern a weekly Sign of the Apocalypse. Deadspin salutes the magazine's ongoing effort to cover the end of times but declines to cede the scoop on the biggest event in world history....
What To Eat With The Best Hot Sauce In The World: A Guide For People Who Aren't Anti-Sriracha Bores
You ever been to a hot-sauce specialty shop? These are dimly lit little retail closets, typically in beachside vacation towns and the like, where you stare at shelves upon shelves of little hot-sauce bottles and have a chuckle at the menacingly hyperbolic product names and label imagery used to indi...
Violent Idiot On The Field In The UK Has Been Banned From All Football Matches Since He Was 16
77 minutes into a Football League Championship match between Leeds United and Sheffield at Hillsborough (where fan involvement and safety has always been an issue), a fan ran out onto the field and pushed Leeds United goalkeeper Chris Kirkland in the face. He then slipped, righted himself, and dis...
The Monster Wore A Tank Top. <em>Paranormal Activity 4,</em> Reviewed.
1. Like Grierson, I'm a sucker for the Paranormal Activity films. I don't care that their stories don't make sense, that apparently there's some sort of mythology tying everything together behind them, that no one ever, ever turns that goddamned camera off. These movies work not as movies—they're ba...
<em>The B.S. Report</em> Report: This Is Positive Bullshit!
Julia Alvidrez, Gawker Media's operations manager, is an unabashed fan of Bill Simmons and everything Grantland. She is also an occasional reader of Deadspin. Every week, she will recap Simmons's podcast, The B.S. Report, for us....
The NFL Was Completely Fine With "Smash-For-Cash" Bounty Programs 16 Years Ago [Updated With Video]
The four players implicated in the Saints bounty scandal are in a kind of limbo, as their suspension appeals make their way through through federal court, as well as the league's CBA-mandated appeals process. The latest movement comes in a Louisiana District Court, where yesterday the NFLPA filed...
Captain Greenbeard Invites You Upon His Ship, The <em>S.S. Acid Flashback</em>
Oregon continued on its path of destruction last night, obliterating Todd Graham's Arizona State team in Tempe in a game that wasn't near as close as the score might indicate. It brought a smile to the face of Ducks fans who ventured into the Valley of the Sun, this gentleman in particular who we'r...
A Semi-Comprehensive List Of Everything Tyler Perry Pretends To Do In <em>Alex Cross</em>
Tyler Perry, tired (temporarily) of wearing dresses in his own movies, stars tomorrow in Alex Cross, playing the titular character of James Patterson's series of novels. Here is a semi-comprehensive list of everything Tyler Perry pretends to do in Alex Cross, in order. Spoilers abound....
Chris Stone Wins The <em>Sports Illustrated</em> Bake-Off, Takes Over The Weekly Magazine
Last month we told you there was a bake-off at Sports Illustrated to determine the magazine's next managing editor. Now we have a winner: assistant managing editor Chris Stone....
Cam Newton Spent His Bye Week Soul-Searching And Living Out Every 12-Year-Old's Fantasies
The world is not happy with Cam Newton at present. Newton hasn't been the fantasy force he was last year, and he hasn't been the real-football force, either. The Panthers are 1-4, and both Newton's completion percentage and Total QBR have fallen from last year's levels. But he does not despair, repo...
Fox Needs To Update Their St. Louis Stock Footage, As Last Night's NLCS Closing Shot Featured A "Go Pujols" Sign
As Fox ended its broadcast of a much-delayed ending to last night's NLCS Game 3, a curious thing seemed to scroll across the gaudy videoboard atop the Lumière Place casino: "GO PUJOLS." While it's possible the person in charge of such messages never learned of the slugger's exit from the Cardinals ...
<em>The Sessions</em> And The Trap Of The Disease-Of-The-Week Movie
All genres have their trademarks. In romantic comedies, the two meet, fall in love, break up, and then wind up together. In action movies, a lot of ass is kicked, then more ass is kicked, and then at the end, a hell of a lot of ass is kicked. That predictability isn't always a bad thing—after all, w...
The New York Yankees Have A Coke Problem
Detroit reliever Phil Coke put up pedestrian pitching numbers this year; a 4.00 ERA and 1.65 WHIP while averaging less than a strikeout an inning won't get the ladies into much of a sweat—especially in the AL Central, where the only decent hitting could be found on Coke's own team....
This Isn't Your Life: On the Brilliant, Trippy <em>Holy Motors</em>
We like to believe that we're the masters of our own destinies, that our lives are ours to do with as we wish. But in reality, that's not true. We behave differently around our bosses than we do around our friends. Even as grown-ups, we still revert to childish tendencies when we're around our paren...
Yep, A Saints Fan Filed A Class-Action Lawsuit Against Roger Goodell And The NFL Over Bountygate
Surely it was just a matter of time. When it turned out that months of whiny baby complaining and conspiracy claims weren't going to change anything, a lawsuit became the only rational weapon left in Saints' fans arsenals. (Rational being a relative term, but everyone on every side of the bounty sca...
