Deadspin Up All Night: YEAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin; we appreciate it more than you could know. (It’s been a long year.) Next year will be great; let’s end this one properly.

The 2016 Deadspin Bear Of The Year

Deadspin is pleased to announce our 2016 Bear of the Year. After a great deal of consideration and deliberation, we arrived at a clear choice: Bear Who Was Covered In Shit And Pissed.

Amazon's Dropping a Deuce: Two Different Deals on Toilet Stools

I don’t know how else to say it, but we’re all pooping incorrectly. Originally popularized by Squatty Potty, a toilet stool can lift your legs into ideal bowel movement positioning, and you can get one from easyGopro for $19 today, or a few bucks less than the Squatty Potty.

The Year In Video Game Sex, 2016

2016 was a big year for nerdy perverts. Overwatch alone probably started an entire sex industry, VR porn became the face of virtual reality, and more games tackled raunchy subjects.

Hey, we’re about done over here, so come hang out with us for a little while.

Soccer Fan Takes Ball Square In The Face

A spectator at yesterday’s Porto-Feirense Portuguese league cup match learned the hard way to never look away from the match, even for a moment.

Premier League Ref Wants In On The Chinese Soccer Gravy Train

With all of the gargantuan contracts the Chinese Super League has handed out to star(ish) soccer players over the last year or so, it was only a matter of time before those on the sport’s periphery started batting their eyes eastward, hoping to secure some of those seemingly infinite riches for themselves. Enter star referee Mark Clattenburg, who has made it clear that his mind and phone lines are definitely open to any potential Chinese suitors.

UConn's Women's Basketball Still Hasn't Lost A Game Since 2014

We need a word that multiplies the impact of the word “juggernaut” to describe the UConn women’s basketball team. Last night, the Huskies won their 87th consecutive game with a 87-81 win over fourth-ranked Maryland. That puts the team only three wins away from breaking their previous win streak record of 90 games between 2008 and 2010, teams led by Maya Moore.

Romo Back

Future Jet/Brown/Bear/Bronco Tony Romo will reportedly see some action this weekend, because at this point his health is a lot less important to Dallas than Dak Prescott’s.

The Child, Now A Man, Waited 10 Years For This Day Of Revenge

Way back in 2006, an 11-year-old boy sent a letter to his favorite hockey player, young Caps superstar Alexander Ovechkin. The letter contained a hockey card, and a self-addressed stamped envelope, and a note to Ovechkin. No, not a note—a threat.

Peggy Noonan Extends Her Sympathy To Those That She Helped To Make Poor

As this year of imprudent surprise comes to an end, Reagan-era porcelain urn Peggy Noonan turns her forgiving gaze to the lessers—they are poor, you see. But why?

The Blue Jackets Are On Fire

The Columbus Blue Jackets came out of the gate hot this season, but it didn’t feel totally real. The team’s possession stats were weak, and their PDO—a combination of shooting percentage and save percentage that tends to flatten out over time, and can indicate a team that’s just plain lucky—pointed toward them cooling off. All of this, plus the franchise’s unspectacular history, and a roster that’s just not laden with elite scorers, had observers unconvinced. And just about the only thing Columbus could do to convince people would be to keep winning. They haven’t lost since Thanksgiving weekend.

Mike Smith Gives Up Five Goals, Breaks Stick

Coyotes goalie Mike Smith has been known to take out his frustrations on his stick, and he did so once again after letting five pucks into his net during tonight’s game against the Rangers.

Young Man Enjoys Phish Concert

I’ve never been into Phish, partly because I had a really awful roommate in college who loved them, and partly because I once stumbled into a bar that was projecting a live Phish concert onto the wall, much to the delight of the writhing mass of white dudes in sweat-stained ball caps that had packed the joint. Let me tell you: that was a weird time.

Russell Westbrook Ends Bad Night With An Ejection

Russell Westbrook will probably want to forget tonight’s game against the Grizzlies. Not only was it one of his worst performances of the season, it ended with a third-quarter ejection.

Exclusive Report From The 49ers' Stadium: Justin Sucks Dick

An anonymous tipster has provided Deadspin with a shocking image from the home of the San Francisco 49ers.

Avery Bradley Should Probably Start Keeping An Eye Out For LeBron James

LeBron James has been doing the chasdeown block for so long now that any player who finds himself the victim of one either has a very bad memory or enough hubris to think he can escape LeBron’s shadow.

Oh No, Kemba Walker

When the swag is too strong, fate steps in.

Strong American Hockey Teens Defeat Weak Russian Ice Boys

The U.S. National Junior hockey team took on Russia in a preliminary round game at the 2017 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship today, and I am happy to report that our skilled and cunning young men sent the shiftless Russians home with a loss.

Heh

Malik Monk Is The Truth

We’ve noted before how Kentucky’s magic freshman Malik Monk can transform games. Here he is tonight stealing souls from some poor kids from Ole Miss. Don’t look too closely if you value your own afterlife.

Are You Ready To Hate Lane Kiffin Again?

There’s a good chance that you haven’t spent much time thinking about Lane Kiffin over the last three years, during which he had been serving as Alabama’s offensive coordinator. Not that the OC job at Alabama is particularly low profile, it’s just hard to get noticed when Nick Saban and scores of All-Americans are on campus every day. But if you’ve missed having Kiffin in the news, if only because it feels good to hiss, “Fuck that guy!” every time you hear his name or catch sight of him, I’ve got good news for you. Lane fucking Kiffin is back.

Deadspin Up All Night: Forgive

Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Later.

The school announced the suspension prior to the game’s 5:30 p.m. kickoff. Head coach Bret Bielema released a statement, but did not specify why Sprinkle was being benched:
