Hall Of Fame Nominees, The Day After
After witnessing, in slack-jawed awe, the truly beautiful thing that has been Deadspin Hall of Fame nomination post, we stand before you, at full attention, with the sharpest possible salute we can muster. That was so much fun to be a part of that the actual Hall of Fame almost seems redundant....
We're Talkin' Franklin (Countaaay!)
As far as homemade rap videos that begin and end with a goateed guy napping go, this one's outstanding. A couple of Ohio State fans from Franklin (Countaaay!), calling themselves the "Sleepy Rappers" have added to the legend that is Ohio State with this video, all about their love of Ohio State and ...
YWML Night: The Morning After
Well, "You're With Me, Leather" night was last night in Dunedin, Fla., and we received three different reports. That's good, because all three reports reported that there were only three YWML spottings there. They must have all seen each other....
YWML Night Is Here
Well, now that the Cleveland Plain-Dealer has weighed in on the No. 2 Deadspin ongoing gag, it's time to hop back to No. 1 again....
It's Carl Monday Night At The Ballpark
As you know, we're big fans of minor league baseball, particularly the odd promotions they put together from time-to-time. (We still think our favorite is the time a team gave away free vasectomies on Father's Day.) And a couple of weeks ago, we pointed you to the Dunedin Blue Jays' professional w...

A Night Of 1,000 Groundouts
As many have pointed out, the All-Star Game last night was ultimately pointless, if just because it doesn't really matter who has home-field advantage when the American League is just going to sweep anyway....
The Deal With The TRL Thing
Back when we announced the sale of the "You're With Me, Leather" T-shirts, we promised a free post for whichever reader was able to feature the shirt on national television. But we — obviously — never dreamed it would be the host of TRL....
YWML Suddenly Huge With 13-Year-Olds
Out of the wilderness, from the depths of madness, comes a strange, unlikely hero. He's got spikey hair, a nifty blazer and a T-shirt he holds close to his heart. His day job might seem like it would fall outside your particular spectrum of interest, but don't fret: There's a twinkle there, a tiny g...
Delmon Young ... Still A Dick
For those who might have missed it, Delmon Young, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays phenom who winged his bat at an umpire in April, has finished up his 50- (actually 49-)game suspension. Has he come back all contrite and humbled? Not exactly, says Rays Index in a recap of an interview Young gave MinorLeague...
"To The Wing ... To The Center ... Back To The Wing ..."
Those suffering through World Cup fatigue are invited to watch this famous "Simpsons" clip, from when Mexico and Portugal come to Springfield to "decide once and for all which is the greatest on earth!"

The guy is in a workplace like any other, with an office like any other, wearing drab corporate garb like any other. But then his friends put a camera on him and shoot him some instructions ... and his hidden, and rather brilliant, talent is discovered....

In case you haven't heard, Tigers designated hitter Dmitri Young is still evading police after failing to make a court appearance for a charge that he choked his girlfriend at a Detroit hotel. Several sources say he's at a rehab facility, but no one, including his lawyers, seem to know for sure....
Random YouTube Finding Of The Week
Many have said the reason YouTube — and its recent competitor Veoh — has become so popular is because you can watch clips of varying length and entertainment value. But the reason reason is, obviously, that people can point cameras at themselves and do incredibly stupid things....
Random YouTube Finding Of The Week
We have made no secret of our obsession with Mike Tyson's Punch Out, and, specifically, our lifetime 1-2,419 record against the Tyson of the title. No excuses: We just weren't good enough....
