To Go With An Injury And A Loss, A Fan Stole Kobe Bryant's Towel
Not the best night for Kobe. After briefly leaving the game in the first with an ulnar nerve contusion (that's a bruised funny bone, and you don't need to be an athlete to know how obscenely painful it can be), and then seeing the Thunder shrug off an attempted comeback, Bryant had a towel pilfere...
Eric Fehr Used Some Kind Of Dark Wizardry To Score This Overtime Winner
I'm especially taken by the screengrab at the top of the Puck Daddy post on Eric Fehr's OT goal that gave the Capitals a 4-3 win over Boston last night, completing a comeback from 3-0. Fehr was all alone entering the Bruins zone, with two defenseman directly in front of him—Dougie Hamilton to his ...
Here Is Every Known Gruesome Angle Of Marc Staal Taking A Slapshot In The Eye Tonight
I'm old enough to remember a few dudes in the NHL who played without a helmet. Dinosaurs of an earlier age like Brad Marsh and Greg Smyth Craig MacTavish were grandfathered in, showing what was left of their mullets and their intelligence while substituting machismo for brains (or the prospect of ...
Tuesday Night Fights: A.J. Daulerio On Why You Must Dress "Slutty, Sexy" To Avoid A Beatdown In Southwest Philly
Welcome to Tuesday Night Fights, a weekly celebration and analysis of street-fight videos found on YouTube. Tonight's fisticuffs: "HOOD FIGHTS|At the Club Sikira in Philadelphia, PA (women edition)." Tonight's commentator: Deadspin Editor Emeritus A.J. Daulerio. (Coming next week: The Fremont Stre...
In Canada, Beware Of Flying Footballs To The Face During Footwork Drills
Taylor Renaud, a former wide receiver for Nova Scotia's Acadia University, is here to teach us this valuable lesson. Renaud was working out with his roommate, Mike Benson, the long-snapper for the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos and another former Acadia player. Benson was supposed to throw the ball to Ren...
Manchester United Eliminated From Champions League Due To Ridiculous Red Card
Real Madrid recovered from a one-goal disadvantage to score a road win at Old Trafford and win the UEFA Champions League knockout round tie with Manchester United thanks to an absurd red card....
Bank-Shot Buzzer-Beater Wins Championship
St. Andrew's School (R.I.) led by two and was 3.3 seconds away from winning the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Class AA title against Cushing Academy (Mass.) on Sunday. But Cushing sophomore Jalen Adams took the inbounds pass, dribbled a few steps across halfcourt, and la...
Claude Julien Complained About The Canadiens' "Embellishment," So Someone Made This Highlight Reel Of Bruins Dives
After a chippy loss to Montreal on Monday, Bruins coach Claude Julien came out firing in his postgame press conference, accusing the Canadiens of diving and flopping all over the place. Some of his comments:...
JaVale McGee Spikes A Shot Into The Crowd, Preens, Throws Down Alley-Oop
Some advice for Anthony Tolliver: Next time, just forgo the pump fake and shoot the ball over Wilson Chandler. Chandler may have gotten a hand in your face and disrupted your shot, but he probably wouldn't have infantilized you with a vicious volleyball-spike, mean mugged at the crowd until he got...
Jeff Carter Scored A Hat Trick On Hat Giveaway Night
The Kings' win over Nashville was bizarre, as far as 5-1 wins go. Scoreless through one, just 1-0 through two, Los Angeles just couldn't put pucks on net. The Predators blocked shots, clogged up the blue line, and made this one look like it would go down to the horn. Only, Pekka Rinne couldn't sto...
J.J. Barea Ejected After Shoving Ray Allen, Calls Him A "Fucking Pussy"
The Miami Heat easily dispatched with the Minnesota Timberwolves 97-81 tonight but early in the fourth quarter things were still relatively close. Then J.J. Barea decided to go rogue. As you can see, he did not appreciate a little elbow/shove from Ray Allen that went uncalled and so, after collect...
Tonight's <em>WWE Raw</em> Crowd In Buffalo Engaged In An Extended "We Want Virgil" Chant
WWE's Monday night Raw showcase is themed "Old School" tonight, and such former pro wrestling dignitaries as Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Sgt. Slaughter, Honky Tonk Man, and "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase have so far made appearances. Alas, DiBiase's valet Virgil is nowhere to be found. We'd figure our e...
Ed Reed And Eddie Money Sang "Two Tickets To Paradise" And It Was An Uncomfortable Mess
Singing Eddie Money's "Two Tickets To Paradise" sort of became Ed Reed's thing during the Ravens' Super Bowl run. He sang at the send-off before the game and at the celebration in Baltimore after the win. And probably a million times in between in the shower, too—stupid Geico commercial—but this, ...
Stephen A. Smith Thinks Hockey Has Ties, Is Not As Dumb As People Who Expected Hockey Analysis From Stephen A. Smith
After weeks of increasing criticism of ESPN's less-than-comprehensive hockey coverage, the NHL finally made SportsCenter. After a 19-0-3 start, a record, the Chicago Blackhawks have finally become a "sports" thing instead of a hockey thing. But be careful what you wish for: on this morning's Sport...
The Golf Boys Have Returned To Rap Horribly At You
It was almost two years ago that the Golf Boys—a group consisting of PGA pros Bubba Watson, Hunter Mahan, Ben Crane, and Rickie Fowler—released "Oh Oh Oh" onto the world. Their follow up, cleverly titled "2.Oh," sees the Golf Boys taking a huge leap forward in production value while bringing the w...
Patrick Kaleta Deserves A Long, Unpaid Vacation For This Hit From Behind
Noted Buffalo dirtball Patrick Kaleta has been somewhat quiet recently—slipping all the way to a career-low 10th on the most-hated players list, but he's angling to get back among the leaders after this brutal cross-check that sent New York's Brad Richards headfirst into the boards....
Kobe Dunks Like Kobe Hasn't Dunked In Years, And The Lakers Are At .500
After a stirring one-point win over the Hawks last night, the Lakers find themselves in a place they haven't been since Dec. 28: at .500. This means you can no longer objectively call them a bad team. You could call them an average team, but they've been on a quiet roll for more than a month....
Pitcher Forgets He Is Playing Baseball, Tackles Runner Trying To Score
This is pretty bizarre, even for Division III college baseball. While the pitcher (Berry College) is winding up—with the bases loaded—the batter (Hendrix College) calls, and is awarded, time out. The pitcher continues his motion and throws home....
Here's JaVale McGee Dancing In A Predator Mask
After this and this, and surely after this, we allowed ourselves to hope that, maybe, the Internet meme of the Harlem Shake would quickly fade and then die, because fuck the fake Harlem Shake and everyone who condones its existence....
This Is One Of The Craziest Buzzer-Beaters You Will Ever See
I know I just posted a video of some sixth-grader hitting a buzzer beater to win the league championship. Forget about that stupid kid. He is meaningless. This shot right here might be the craziest thing I've ever seen. New Rochelle was trailing by 10 with three minutes to go and mounted a stron...
