Notorious Finebaum Caller Tammy Joins Iron Bowl Simulcast [UPDATE]

Paul Finebaum's radio show has long had its cast of compelling, crazy, or cretinous callers, and Auburn fan Tammy is one of its most famous. She joined the SEC Network call-in simulcast of tonight's Iron Bowl in Tuscaloosa, and let loose with her usual flow of.. words, sort of....

Bayou Classic Halftime Show Features Marriage Proposal In Formation

We make fun of Jumbotron marriage proposals a bunch, but using Southern University's Human Jukebox to propose? That takes some confidence....

The Bills Will Play At Home On Sunday

Despite having more success in Detroit than they've had in Orchard Park in years (though playing the Jets had a little something to do with that), the Bills will return home to a playable Ralph Wilson Stadium for next weekend's game....

Curt Schilling's Son Accidentally Brings Fake Grenade To Logan Airport

The Schilling family took a plane flight this morning, and one of Curt Schilling's sons made the security screening more eventful than usual. From his Facebook:...

Joakim Noah Has No Patience For Your Goddamn Flopping

The Chicago Bulls played without Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol last night, and got rolled by Boogie Cousins and the Kings as a result. They kept it close through the first half, but the game started to slip away from them in the third quarter, at which point Joakim Noah decided that he'd just had it wi...

Looks Like Sunday's Bills Game Will Be Moved [Update: Yep]

It's still snowing in Western New York. (What the fuck, snow.) The Bills remain scheduled to play the Jets, but people are dying and trapped and stranded and there's probably no real reason 70,000 people should be on the road at the same time on Sunday. It's sounding like sanity is beginning to prev...

Jack Johnson's Bankruptcy Filing Claims His Parents Spent All His Money

If you haven't yet read the Columbus Dispatch article on Blue Jackets defenseman Jack Johnson, do so. It's an insane (but not uncommon) story about how a pro athlete, who signed a $30.5 million contract in 2011, ends up filing for bankruptcy....

Jack Johnson is the latest athlete to learn the hard way that mixing finances and family can end very badly....

Lindsey Vonn Is Just As Dumb And Humorless As Her Boyfriend Tiger Woods

Yesterday at The Players' Tribune, "Tiger Woods" "wrote" the dumbest fucking thing in response to a satirical, obviously fake piece that ran in a recent issue of Golf Digest. All Woods's blockheaded complaint did was alert the world to how much of a dense, robotic dolt he is, and now his girlfriend,...

Iman Shumpert Throws Down Nasty Reverse Dunk In The Greek Freak's Face

The Knicks lost 117-113 to the Bucks last night, and at one point trailed Milwaukee by 26 points. They made a little run in the fourth quarter, though, and when Iman Shumpert rinsed Giannis Antetokounmpo with this reverse jam, cutting the lead to four, it felt like the Knicks were about to win the d...

Buzzer-Beating Alley-Oop Sends Game To Overtime

UMass just finished up a 77-68 victory over Manhattan, but not before Manhattan's Emmy Andujar and Rich Williams pulled off one of the coolest buzzer-beaters you will see all year....

Alex Len Committed The Dumbest Possible Foul

Ahead by four against the Boston Celtics with only 19 seconds to go, the Phoenix Suns had to feel pretty good about their chances. Some solid defense plus clutch free throwing was all that was needed to win the game. Then this Alex Len foul happened. ...

Indian Takeout

Here's a beautiful little essay by the great Jhumpa Lahiri. From Food & Wine (April, 2000):...

UFC Card Features Gruesome Exploding Ear, Dude Maybe Shitting Himself

Leslie Smith fought on the prelims of tonight's UFC card in Mexico, and she is inhumanly tough. After a shot from contender Jessica Eye came damn close to entirely shearing her ear off, referee Herb Dean immediately called in the ringside doctors, who called the fight off only to be met with vigorou...

You Can Still See The Jaguars Logo At Wembley For Today's Soccer Match

England is playing Slovenia at Wembley today in a crucial Euro 2016 qualifier, and it appears they weren't able to entirely remove the Jaguars logo from last week's Jacksonville-Dallas game there. Expect England to lose by 40....

We Figured Out How To Shoehorn Kim Kardashian's Shiny Ass Onto Our Site

All week, we've been wondering how we could get Kim Kardashian's large, glistening ass on Deadspin. She didn't make it easy for us, did she? She could've held a football, for instance. Or she could've scheduled a mountain stage of the Tour de France along her adductors. Kim did no such thing, howeve...

Fat Ronaldo May Be Fat, But He Can Still Jump Really High

While it's perhaps a little surprising that a man can exercise, as Fat/Real Ronaldo is depicted doing in the Vine below, and maintain a gut like that, it isn't a shock to see that one of the greatest players ever still has enough hops to clear 113cm with a standing jump:...
