Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to tips@deadspin.com. Subject: Morning crap. The fans seated directly behind the coach know they're going to get some good face time — or, in this case, chest time — so it's great for the networks if that person j...

All right, let's wrap this all up with some pictures (below) closing thoughts on the NBC National Heads Up Poker Championship red carpet/draw party last night. First, job well done to Jon Miller of NBC for growing this event to what it is. This was easily the biggest red carpet crowd with the most e...

In his column "Exposing the Truth About Exposing the Truth," New York Times sportswriter Harvey Araton defended his "good friend" Selena Roberts -- a former Times sports columnist now reporting for Sports Illustrated -- from "misogynist ravings" launched after her rece...

Yes, Duke beat Maryland in a key ACC men's basketball matchup on Wednesday, but sometimes the most important victories are not won on the court, but in the stands. Behold: Operation Scheyerface, v2.0. Operation Scheyerface was conceived as a Facebook group by Maryland student Jimmy Johnston, who qui...

Jokesters on a Maryland message board posted the phone number of the hotel that Duke's hoops team was staying in last night and the results were a sad indictment of the current state of college pranks. Keep in mind that we are dealing with people who hang out on college basketball message boards in ...

They say Duke gets all the calls, and anyone who looks at this and doesn’t hear the whistle in the background would have a hard time arguing that. I didn’t count 12 illegal steps, but I did count 10 or 11....

Well, I was going to put together a snazzy PhotoShop masterwork for this bit of casting news, but I spent the last hour debating Devin at CHUD about globe-spanning Watchmen embargoes0101. Any readers want to give it a shot in the comments? The trades report that a fine cast has mounted up for a nove...

Before I get started let me just say this: I don't think a missed walking call or five in favor of Duke is why they won the game against Wake last night.  Gerald Henderson could have been shooting a beach ball at a donut and he would have made it.  He was absolutely on fire last night.  Sure, the...
