LeBron's Fourth MVP Is Pushing Him Into Ludicrous Territory
Reports are swarming that LeBron James will be named the NBA’s MVP for the fourth time in the past five seasons. Somehow this makes Derrick Rose’s 2011 MVP — the only blemish in that stretch for LeBron — seem all the more impressive, if all the more anomalous. Only four other players (Kareem Abdul-J...
So Long, Emma
This is our pal Emma Carmichael's last day at Deadspin and Gawker Media. She's leaving us for a site that shall remain nameless for the moment.

Milwaukee beat San Francisco last night when Josh Prince scored on Blake Lalli's RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. But Carlos Gomez had three hits, including an infield single that resulted in a throwing error that advanced Prince to third. Ryan Braun tried to reward Gomez in the dugout afterwa...
That Soccer Fan Who Punched A Horse Is Sorry He Punched A Horse
Everyone's favorite horse-punching soccer fan is really sorry about being such a horse-puncher. The man you see in the video above has been identified as 45-year-old Barry Rogerson, a Northumberland resident who claims that it was simply drunken panic that caused him punch Bud the police horse, not...
Pat Summerall: The Last Of The Hard Voices
At my gym the other day, half of the television screens were showing an episode of Dr. Phil. You don't need me to tell you that Dr. Phil sucks, so I grabbed a magazine and went about the business of not looking at his big stupid head. But then I saw Pat Summerall in the studio with him and suddenly ...

Welcome To The New Deadspin
Hi. The place looks different, doesn't it? The sofa's over there now, where the Fillmore West '69 poster used to be. We tossed the Yaffa blocks and the lava lamp, and we managed to sell Magary's old futon on Craigslist, even though the mattress was starting to look like the Shroud of Turin. You like...

Steve Buckhantz Couldn't Tell Whether That Game-Ending Shot Went In Because The Owners Moved Him To The Cheap Seats
We all had a good laugh when Washington Wizards play-by-play man Steve Buckhantz dusted off his patented "dagger!" call despite Trevor Ariza's (very nice looking) airball to end the Wizards' game on Wednesday night. The misplaced enthusiasm was funny but, as we noted at the time, you couldn't really...
If This Is How The Eagles Are Trying To Smear Nnamdi Asomugha, It's Hilarious
The media of Philadelphia evidently can't fill the winter hours by moaning about the Phillies or their just-outside-of-the-playoffs NBA and NHL teams. They want to talk Eagles. And they don't want to talk strategy, or draft picks, or rhapsodize about Chip Kelly. Those are all silly things to do in l...
Will Bynum Suspended One Game For Punching Tyler Hansbrough
What do you do when you want to take a swing at a guy nine inches taller? Do what Will Bynum did and slug Tyler Hansbrough in the gut. Pow. Not so tall now, is he?...
