Rugby guy here. Jarryd Hayne is an absolute fucking monster and the sole reason why New South Wales beat Queensland this year in the State of Origin series—that is, the series which many consider to be the best rugby league competition in the world. New South Wales hadn't won it for 9 years, and this guy as well as…

When Jeff Buckley first started out, he was mainly a cover artist. As his popularity grew, his ability as a writer came into question. "Lover, You Should Have Come Over", was really Jeff's coming out party as a writer. The song has an eerie, solemn feel to it, but even his harshest critics were amazed at the depth of…

Unless his lawyer is incredibly incompetent, I'm thinking he or she did not approve this.

Larry King gets those seats because of his induction into the Softball Hall of Fame.

Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly, and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to ESPN

Shead: Elizabeth, I've loved you from the moment I first laid eyes on you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. This team has meant so much to me, to us, so I wanted to ask you the question here. Will you...will you let me be your 12th man?

Jeff was amazing. He only ever made one album, "Grace", but Rolling Stone magazine lists it among the top 500 albums ever made.

Full disclosure: Proud Polish boy here, and I've heard all the jokes. But it's days like this that I simply don't understand how the good Polish people have the unearned reputation of folding against the blitz.

What that tells me is hardly anyone is watching Outside The Lines regularly, which makes me kind of sad.

If you feel silly about that, name a charity you're fond of and we'll send something their way. This was a great catch, and aside from the underlying story it really showed something about how the press works: Here's ESPN just tossing out an enormous scoop on the biggest story in sports and as far as I can tell no one…

We can definitely arrange a free pizza. Email tips@deadspin.com with where you are and we'll work something out.

I demand payment for this story. If payment can't be arranged, then I demand a free pizza for this story. If a free pizza can't be arranged, then I demand a day-old sandwich for this story.

Yes, you're right. Sly always believed in a melting pot when forming bands. Such great music and so many great hits. I know they tried a reunion tour a few years ago, but I don't believe it panned out very well. Sly has struggled with drugs quite a bit and I believe he may have even spent some time homeless. But when…

Love Sly. You can correct me if I go wrong, but it's my understanding that his band was the first to have people of multiple races and both sexes playing onstage together. Still pretty unusual fifty years later. Love WAR too, they were just through town here this summer. Not sure how many of the original members are…

Wow! Amazing stuff! Sly and the Family Stone!

Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes cover "Oh Well", an old Fleetwood Mac tune.

Perhaps his finest composition, Dickey Betts named "Jessica" after his infant daughter. But he wrote it as a tribute to the greatest of all the Gypsy Jazz musicians, Django Reinhardt, who lost the use of two fingers when his hand was badly burned in a fire. Betts wrote the song because it can be played with only two…

A little Hank, Jr. Is always good for the soul.

I want to say this about mental illness, because I think this is important, at least to me.

I have no idea why this gif is posted, but I love any UHF reference.
