Let’s Go Ice Fishing Like Fucking Morons<em></em>
I am fully aware that literally everyone in sports media did an ice fishing stunt here in Minnesota this week. But what if I told you that OUR ice fishing stunt was the bestest? Changes your whole outlook on matters now, doesn’t it?...
Let's Remember Some Guys: 1990 Basketball Guys
In this episode of Let’s Remember Some Guys, Tom Ley and I try to find treasure in a pack of 1990 Fleer basketball cards. We get into a tangent about old basketball nicknames and how David “The Admiral” Robinson and Ken “Snake” Norman had badass ones. (Apparently Norman hates snakes, though.) Fat Le...
Baby Will Definitely Grow Up To Be Hoagie-Loving Adult
Philadelphia is already out of control with Super Bowl fever, and this baby is no exception. This kid has likely heard the word “Eagles” 10 million times over the last few weeks, so why wouldn’t his first word be “Eagles”? The only thing that’s surprising is that he didn’t say “Go Birds.”...
Let's Remember Some Guys: 1990 Basketball Guys
Walking baseball almanac David Roth and I have spent a lot of time remembering the vaguely known guys of the diamond, but today, we’re switching it up. While we’re sticking around in the same dawn-of-grunge/golden age of hip-hop era (the late ’80s and early ’90s), the shorts are shorter, and the ret...
Let's Remember Some Games
Earlier today, a random series of events brought to my mind the rap song from Donkey Kong 64. A great song, and a great game. Maybe you’ve forgotten about Donkey Kong 64 :( But now you remember it. Let’s remember some other video games:...
Cordarrelle Patterson On Jon Gruden, Trash Talk, And Surviving The Bleak Minnesota Winter
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson recently swung through New York City. While he was in town, Deadspin sat him in front of a camera to ask him a bunch of stuff....
Former Ballon d'Or Winner George Weah Sworn In As President Of Liberia
Liberian president-elect George Weah was inaugurated yesterday in Monrovia, marking the first peaceful transition of power in Liberia since 1944. Weah was one of the best soccer players throughout the 90s, when he played for Monaco, PSG, and AC Milan. He won the Ballon d’Or in 1995. The striker won ...
Let Me Show You My Pogs: The League Before Time
I grew up a collector. Maybe it’s genetic. Maybe I was brainwashed, growing up in the era of Saturday morning cartoon shows, video games and pizza bribes for school work. But I liked to collect things: Baseball cards, action figures, video games, whatever....
Let's Remember Some Guys: 1991 Football Guys
In this episode of Let’s Remember Some Guys, Tom Ley and I open a pack of 1991 football cards. We remember that time Mike Singletary coached the 49ers and pulled down his pants as motivation—he was still wearing underwear—and I struggle with Leo Goeas’s last name. And if that doesn’t whet your appet...
Rodney Mullen And Daewon Song Made A Video That Changed Skateboarding Forever
The opening title credits for “Rodney Mullen Vs. Daewon Song” fly onto the screen like text in a remedial PowerPoint presentation. The picture is grainy, as almost all VHS tapes were, and cuts bounce into each other instead of sliding with contemporary digital smoothness. The black background and wh...
Hey, This Dude Is Beating Both <i>Punch-Out!!</i> Games Simultaneously
Tonight in some incredible video, this dude is using one controller—and a splitter—to beat both games. (He just beat Don Flamenco in 14 seconds, somehow.) WATCH AND BE AMAZED:...
Let's Remember Some Guys: 1991 Fleer Pack Guys
We’re back for another episode of Let’s Remember Some Guys, in which our own David Roth continues his quest to procure from the depths of his memory at least one fact about every single baseball player that history has ever known....
The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is This Full-Court Putt
Clemson University student Christopher Carns picked a particularly prime opportunity to be really, really accurate, sinking a 94-foot putt across the school’s basketball court to win $10,000....
May All Your Failures End Up As Serendipitously As This Soccer Coach's Attempt To Lean Against A Fence
I don’t think I’ve ever done anything on purpose with the poise and commitment that Marius Sumudica, manager of the Turkish soccer team Kayserispor, brings to playing off this accidental fall so that it looks like he intended all along to lower himself into a metal hammock. Seems comfy. ...
Let's Remember Some Guys: "Baseball Legends"
In the first episode of Let’s Remember Some Guys, we learned that David Roth possessed a remarkable capacity to remember almost all early ’90s baseball players found on cards in a wax pack. But could he handle the off-brand, mysteriously vague “Baseball Legends” pack? The answer was an emphatic “Duh...

Let's Remember Some Guys: 1992 Guys
When you come into some unopened packs of early ’90s baseball cards, there’s not a whole lot you can do with them. You’re basically just out a few quarters—unless one of your joys in life is sitting on some vaguely retro furniture and trying to turn faint sparks of memory into fully formed remembran...
We Asked Bostonians What They Know About Hurling
I went to Boston for a hurling tournament with plans to poke fun at the city’s heavy-handed claim to Irish heritage. Real Irishmen—tall ones, who are good at sports—would show up at the municipal manifestation of a St. Patrick’s Day parade and surely put to shame some drunken Massholes. ...
The Deadspin Pizza Idiots Investigate: <em></em>Which Chain Pizza Is The Least Awful?
Here at Deadspin we’re not entirely opposed to making fervent valuations based exclusively on personal bias; but after releasing a highly contested ranking of pizza chains, we wanted to check our work. Five hungry and very stupid staffers, who failed to fully appreciate the gravity of what they comm...
