Do Not Underestimate Will Ferrell's 40 Speed
After Saturday’s Stanford-USC football game, one lucky guy got to race Will Ferrell on the field. The result was a photo finish....
Doug Martin Is Still Not Really Down With That Whole "Muscle Hamster" Thing
Poor Doug Martin finds himself in the unenviable position of owning a very unique nickname that everyone else seems to enjoy, but that he himself despises. Martin started his Stop Calling Me “Muscle Hamster” campaign years ago, and God bless him, he’s still going strong....
Steve Sarkisian: It Was The Meds, Not The Booze
USC head coach Steve Sarkisian, who is in a bit of trouble after getting hammered drunk and talking some shit at a team event, spoke to reporters this morning and explained his public drunkenness. According to Sark, it wasn’t the booze that had him acting silly, it was the meds he was on....
Steve Sarkisian Apologizes For Getting Liquored Up And Talking Shit (UPDATE: There's Video)
At last night’s Salute To Troy, USC coach Steve Sarkisian reportedly got wasted and yelled a whole bunch of profanities before getting pulled off the stage by athletic director Pat Haden. He issued an apology this morning:...
Deadspin 25: USC, Like Three Other Pac-12 Teams, Could Do It
Welcome to the Deadspin 25, a college football poll that strives to be more democratic and less useless than every other preseason poll. Leading up to the college football season kickoff, we will give you previews of the 25 teams that you, the readers, voted to be most worthy of writing about. Now, ...
George Karl Met DeMarcus Cousins And It Was Suuuuuuper Awkward
Sometimes the universe is good to us, like when it brings us video of George Karl and DeMarcus Cousins meeting at a Summer League game—for what is likely the first time since Karl began doing everything in his power to alienate his team’s only star player—and allowing us to bask in the incredible aw...
Can Busch Non-Alcoholic Beer Get You Drunk?
Recently, I was chatting with a friend on Twitter about my favorite topic; yes, of course, I’m referring to that famous drink of beer. I’ve never met this friend in person, but, judging by his (many) tweets, I get the sense that he is a man of at least average intelligence, and is morally competent ...
Report: Increasingly Desperate Kings Are Trying To Lure John Calipari
We didn’t think it was possible for the Sacramento Kings to become a bigger mess than they already are, and yet here’s a new report from Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski, which pulls back the curtain on a spectacularly broken franchise....
The Kings Are Such A Mess Right Now
Big question for tonight’s draft telecast: will ESPN cut away if news breaks that Sacramento’s owner, coach, and best player are all brawling in an alley?...
The Kings Are Screwed No Matter What Happens To DeMarcus Cousins
Things are happening quickly. On Monday, Yahoo reported that new Kings coach George Karl is looking to ship DeMarcus Cousins out of town. (Crazy!) On Tuesday, ESPN reported that Kings owner Vivek Ranadive will not allow Karl to trade Sacramento’s stunningly talented young center. (Rational!) With th...
George Karl Apparently Wants DeMarcus Cousins Gone, Is Crazy
Last night, Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski dropped a bomb, reporting that Sacramento Kings head coach George Karl, who’s had his job for about 45 minutes, is doing everything he can to convince the rest of the organization that All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins needs to be traded away as soon as po...
Report: Not All Of The Data Hacked From The Astros Was Leaked Publicly
The original New York Times story on the St. Louis Cardinals hacking scandal gives a broad outline of what happened, but as it describes an investigation in process, it is disappointingly light on crucial details like who perpetrated the hacking, when they did it, why they did it, and how exactly it...
FIFA Sponsors Double Down On Endorsement Of Slavery
If you expected this week’s sham re-election of Sepp Blatter after a massive federal corruption takedown to be the final straw in corporate slave sponsors’ relationship with FIFA, you have far too optimistic a view of the world. McDonald’s, Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola, Visa, and other FIFA sponsors ar...
FIFA Slaves Banned From Attending Relatives' Funerals
The 2022 Qatar World Cup will be brought to you by Coca-Cola on the backs of slave workers, many of whom hail from Nepal. These workers live in filth and work in terrifyingly dangerous conditions; their efforts to build the McDonald’s-funded event will result in one dead worker for every 90 seconds ...
Ridiculously Huge Boxer Wins By First Round Knockout, Still Undefeated
Taishan Dong remained undefeated with a first-round knockout of Lance Gauch tonight in California. We’ve highlighted the enormous Dong before, but if you haven’t seen what kind of damage the seven-foot-tall Chinese boxer can unleash, here you go. Dong’s professional record is now 5-0....
Future Is The Hardest-Working Guy In Rap
Atlanta rapper Future hasn't slept much this year. He's put out three mixtapes since October, is currently working on another, and at this rate is Lil B-level prolific, but with more songs that actually make it in the pocket. You don't even have to like Future to appreciate the insanity of that lev...
Boogie Cousins And John Wall Put On A Show; Some Team Also Won I Guess
A point guard and a center generally can't duel in the way we usually think of players dueling—directly, one-on-one, attacking each other at both ends. Apart from the occasional defensive switch or confrontation at the rim, they'll mostly compete from a distance, and indirectly, via their teams an...
Do Not Try And Take A Charge From DeMarcus Cousins
If you look closely, you can see Jae Crowder regret his decision to try and take a charge from a DeMarcus Cousins with 94 feet of built-up momentum, and begin to lean away to the side. Unfortunately, that doesn't prevent him from getting a knee to his chest, or the ball viciously dunked on his head....
