Anti-Meth Ads, Sports Style


So you know those terrifying Montana anti-meth ads that were recently taken off the air?. Well, in an inspired bit of dark whimsy, The Great Barstoolio had put together a sports compendium of the ads. More »

Tim Tebow Has A Steady Hand, We Hope

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is an amazing, versatile quarterback, able to chuck a pass 50 yards, turn the corner and a linebacker and plow over undersized defensive lineman. He's a Renaissance Man, a do-gooder, a man of America. His skills run deep. How deep? Trust us, you don't want to know. More »

Step Right Up To Get Your Own Bowl Game

A brilliant discovery by Every Day Should Be Saturday has our minds a-racin'. It turns out that St. Petersberg is getting a bowl game but doesn't have a sponsor yet. Hmm. More »

Rich Rodriguez Era Off To A Rousing Start

Former University of Michigan offensive lineman Justin Boren is now officially an Ohio State Buckeye, a development which has caused much gnashing of teeth around college football. This is the first time ever that a Wolverines player has gone over to play for their most hated rival, which should raise some suspicions, I would think. Didn't Luca Brazi try that in The Godfather? Result: Knife in hand, and a stranglin'. Things like this just usually never work out. More »

Erin Andrews' Calves Await Your Scrutiny


This candid photo of ESPN college sports vixen Erin Andrews attempting to gain the attention of a well-Under Armoured Tim Tebow suggests that the popular NCAA reporter princess is working very, very hard to get a salient quote from the Florida quarterback during the Gators annual spring game.

40 Acres And A Mountaineer

University of Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez is still in a messy legal battle with his former team, West Virginia University, about his old contract and the upcoming trial could possibly get ugly. The issue? The legality of the $4 million buyout Rodriguez's team of hard-nosed attorneys allege he was forced to sign before he skipped over to Michigan. One of Rodriguez attorneys, Marv Robon, used this analogy to explain the "outrageousness" of such a contract stipulation. More »

Let The 'Texas Hold 'Em' Trial Begin!

Looking for something to watch when the NCAA Tournament is over? Hope your cable company offers Court TV, because the trial of the decade is about to begin; the case of the Oklahoma Sooners fan who ripped the scrotum of a Texas Longhorns fan in a bar fight. Nancy Grace is working herself into a lather as we speak! More »

Miami Hurricanes SID Seems To Be A Bit Of A Monster

Today's entirely creepy and queasy story comes to us from ... well, from The U, which probably isn't entirely surprising. But this isn't a fun tale of coked up strippers or the Seventh Floor Crew. This one involves child porn and the school's child porn. More »

Tommy Bowden Wants Your Publicity, And Then He Wants You Gone

You might remember the touching story of Ray Ray McElrathbey, the Clemson reserve tailback who was receiving assistance from the NCAA after taking custody of his 11-year-old brother (their father is a gambling addict, the mother, into crack cocaine). Great story, makes Clemson sound like a happy place, Tommy Bowden a great guy, so on. So it was a surprise when McElrathbey said he was leaving the school. And now we know why: Bowden kicked him off.

FAMU + Athletics = Crazy

So this probably needs to be addressed: Florida A&M freshman quarterback Michael Johnson was arrested today after he admitted that he lied about being attacked at gunpoint in his dorm room. And no one is sure why he did it. More »

Obama Gets His Desmond Howard On


As some of you surely saw yesterday, presidential candidate Barack Obama visited Mack Brown and the Texas Longhorns yesterday. We think this picture is pretty awesome. We hope that this inevitably leads to Mitt Romney, when he runs again in four years, hanging out with Keith Van Horn. More »

Deadspin Is Your Alls Daddy, So Why Hate?

You may know John Adams as the Founding Father who would one day support author David McCullough and his family for the better part of two decades. But that name also belongs to the current sports editor/columnist of the Knoxville News-Sentinel, John Adams, who has been notoriously critical of Tennessee football coach Phil Fulmer for quite some time. Now, Tennessee has its Fulmer supporters, and its Adams supporters, and sometimes the give and take gets pretty funny. Adams' latest column ripping Fulmer was recounted by the blog Losers With Socks, and this was my favorite reply: More »

The Sad, Confused Teenager That Is Kevin Hart

As we mentioned last night, the sad saga of Kevin Hart and his phantom recruiting has come to an end with his confession that he made it all up. This blew our minds in ways that surprised us. More »

Kevin Hart Made The Whole Thing Up


We just arrived in Alameda and we're going to spend some time playing Tetris working, but the news just broke: Kevin Hart, the kid who had supposedly been duped by a recruiter into thinking Cal and Oregon wanted him ... made the whole thing up. No: Seriously. More »

A Signing Day For Everyone

Dan Shanoff, occasional college football columnist for Deadspin, reflects on college football's signing day today. Email him to let him know what you think.

Kevin Hart did it right: Buy into the dream that a big-time college is recruiting you, hold a huge press conference to announce your commitment, then have it revealed that the whole thing is a sham.

Kevin Hart Might Not Have Been Recruited At All

The young man in this photo is Kevin Hart. He's a two-star offensive lineman prospect out of Nevada, and he has been trying to decide which college to attend. After talking to their coach repeatedly, he finally settled on California. He called a big press conference to announce his decision: He's going to Berkeley. The gymnasium applauded. Local boy does good. Except: Someone was impersonating the California coach. Cal never had any interested in him at all. More »
