Will Muschamp, Self-Proclaimed Molder Of Young Men, Didn't Talk To His Players About Voting
College football fetishizes the roles of its coaches as more than just coaches. They’re Teachers of Student-Athletes and Molders of Men. Always with the molding of men! In reality, the coaching pool is a mixture of bloated, irritable hicks and ancient, anal-retentive freaks. (Both categories are ove...
Barcelona Play In An Empty Stadium After Attempted Independence Vote
On the day of a controversial referendum on Catalonian independence, which led to the Spanish police shutting down polling stations and firing rubber bullets at a crowd of voters, Barcelona’s game against Las Palmas was closed to the public and played in an empty Camp Nou due to security concerns....
NBA Will No Longer Allow Team Broadcasters To Vote On Awards<em></em>
NBA media members will soon vote on end of the season awards, and since the value of many contracts hinge upon certain awards—particularly being named to the All-NBA team—they will be deciding upon whether certain players will earn millions of extra dollars or not. It is strange enough that media me...
Bernhard Langer Statement Makes Trump's Voter Fraud Story Even More Absurd
German pro golfer Bernhard Langer, who was tainted with the stench of Donald Trump yesterday after the president reportedly used him in a mangled anecdote to prove why the government should investigate illegal voting, has now issued a statement saying he doesn’t want any part of this....
This Is How The Deadspin Staff Is Voting
There’s no mystery about this site’s political leanings, and probably somewhat less public interest in who we’re voting for. Despite that, we thought it would be worthwhile on principle to follow our friends at Reason and Slate and go on record with our voting preferences, partly because it’s a wort...
Do You Even Know If You're Registered To Vote Yet?
The Presidential Election—and the blessed end to this interminable campaign cycle—is finally close enough to start worrying about important deadlines passing. And so, sort of in honor of National Voter Registration Day (which is a real thing that is apparently today) and mostly because the debate la...
Voting Booth Selfies Aren't Legal Everywhere, But They Should Be
Can you snap a poorly lit selfie right there in the booth with your ballot all filled out? Can you do a vote just for the ’Gram? Technically, yes, you can take the picture wherever, but your social-media share might be illegal depending on where you are. Many states ban the practice with laws intend...
Please Register To Vote, Whether Or Not You Think It Matters
This week in the presidential election cycle, the Republican field narrowed to a guy who does a bad thing with his lips, a guy scary enough that I no longer like joking about him, and a guy who digs Linkin Park. Even if these primaries have you surveying the scorched landscape and abandoning hope al...
Dana White: I'm Voting For Donald Trump
I mean, look, as a fight fan and as an American I feel like I should question why anyone would care about who Dana White is voting for; go on about why Dana White shouldn’t be okay with a guy who’s been in the news for wanting to ban Muslims from the United States; muse on whether publishing an item...

Why Did Navy QB Keenan Reynolds Disappear From ESPN's Heisman Fan Vote? [Update]
Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds has been crucial to the program’s success this season. The 9-2 team’s spread option offense relies on his abilities to pass and run. When Nissan and ESPN partnered up to allow the fans to determine one Heisman vote, Reynolds received a lot of support. But, for some r...
Vote In The Only College Football Poll That Matters—The Deadspin 25
Preseason polls are inherently stupid. But instead of wasting our time arguing with the power-mad beat writers of America, Deadspin proposes that it’s time for the right to determine college football’s best teams—or perhaps just its most interesting—to be taken away from the idiot writers and given ...
Miguel Cabrera Fans Throw Wrench Into All-Royals All-Star Lineup
Dammit, All-Star voters. The goal was to get every Kansas City Royal in the AL lineup, with only Mike Trout as the outlier. Now, Miguel Cabrera has surpassed Eric Hosmer in the first baseman spot by over a million votes, and Mike Moustakas holds an extremely slim lead over Josh Donaldson....
Report: MLB Has Scrubbed About 60 Million Improper All-Star Votes
Despite the substantial wave of votes for Royals players in the AL All-Star lineup, MLB Advanced Media CEO Bob Bowman said last week that the ballots were still being submitted legitimately. Over a week later, Bowman admitted that approximately 60 million fraudulent ballots had to be wiped from the ...

Who Was On The Ballots Of The Hall Of Fame Voters Refusing To Go Public?
For just the second time, the Baseball Writers' Association of America has given its voters the option of having their Hall of Fame ballots made public. Of the 569 voters who cast ballots, only 108 chose to reveal who they voted for. (Of course, many more discussed their selections in their own colu...
According To Exit Polls, Nobody Will Make The Baseball Hall Of Fame
The results of 2013 Baseball Hall of Fame voting will be announced on Wednesday, and this year represents a unique ballot. Steroid users, suspected steroid users, a cocaine user, a catcher, Jack Morris. Want a preview? Baseball Think Factory has compiled the votes from every writer that made their v...
Who Are The Computers Voting For? We Ask Siri And Others For Advice
I'm about to go vote, and I haven't read up much on the issues. I don't know which candidate loves America more or who has the bigger penis. So I asked the only objective sources I could find: computers. In case you're still on the fence, I've copied their advice below. ...
White Sox Bribing Fans To Vote Jake Peavy To The All-Star Team
It's time again for the stumpin' and campaignin' of the All-Star Game Final Vote, which I reluctantly capitalize since it's not a particularly creative branding (No "Plus One?" Or "Let's Get The Japanese Fans On Our Mailing Lists?"), and it's not particularly final, since most of these guys will get...
