Deadspin Up All Night-ish: For You
Well, this was a strange week. We hope to return to normalcy--politics!--very shortly. The usual weekday suspects will be here for you tomorrow so do check back. As always, thank you for your continued support of Deadspin.
Steve Smith Goes Big Willie Style
Steve Smith had himself a totally average day: 41 yards receiving and one touchdown. But it's what you do with yourself after the touchdown that counts--and did Smith ever do stuff with himself after the touchdown. Following a 19 yard reception in the second quarter Steve did this little (???) dance you see here.
This has been your Sunday NFL GIFs semi-roundup.

The Giants Have Gotten Some Favorable Calls Today, So Naturally The Fix Is In Because Of Hurricane Sandy

Whenever a call goes against a fan's--or degenerate gambler's--chosen team, he or she needs answers more palatable than "the refs messed up." One of those reasons is always that the fix is in. In times of natural disaster or other hearstring-tugging moments it only makes more sense to these people. The idea being that it makes for a good story because if the team located in a recently ravaged area gets a win it will...somehow make things nicer for the people in that area and those in charge of officiating the game somehow care about that? I don't know, we're talking about people who paint their chests and/or willfully agree to part with large sums of money based on the outcome of a sporting event.
New White Sox GM Rick Hahn's First Move: Trading His Predecessor's Son

Was Ozzie right? From The Chicago Tribune:
Williams Jr., a speedy outfielder, was drafted in the sixth round in 2008 and became a problem when former manager Ozzie Guillen felt son Ozney should have been picked higher in a later draft. It helped sour the relation between Guillen and Williams Sr.
Terry Bradshaw Says Reggie Bush Was Chasing A Bucket Of Chicken
It goes without saying that Terry Bradshaw is not very bright. So it is much more plausible that this is a case of an idiot doofus that FOX allows to speak unscripted on live television in a vomit of words unwittingly comparing Reggie Bush running with some strange chasing after a bucket of chicken reference that perhaps only he and Jimmy Johnson understand than it is that Terry Bradshaw is a racist. Still, it happened.
You know it's bad when the typically chock full of chuckles Curt Menefee is audibly groaning for what feels like an eternity.
Ref, On Hot Mic In Indianapolis: "God Damn It!"
Madness in Indy: Andrew Luck had the most single-game passing yards ever for a rookie with 433 (and two touchdowns to boot), refs were yelling church swears on open mics, and the Colts just wrapped it up on a day when two rookie quarterbacks combined for 723 yards through the air. The best part of that video, by far, is the announcer's reaction. Oooooh!
If you're hungry for more comical referee ineptitude, go check out SB Nation's wonderful GIF of the ref in the Redskins-Panthers game hitting the deck like a ton of bricks after a gently tossed ball doinks him right in the face.

Eli Manning Looking At Defenses: Your NFL Late Games Viewing Guide
Liverpool Fans Get Drenched When Faulty Sprinkler Goes Off At Halftime
"You know what would be fun? A football match," one might say to a friend. "Let's get tickets and go," a friend might respond. "It'll be a nice day and there would be absolutely no chance of us getting soaked to the bone by some random, malfunctioning sprinkler positioned right at the edge of the pitch and facing the stands, a hypothetical mess only compounded by officials just standing there watching it all happen," the two stupidly assume.
Halftime of the Liverpool-Newcastle match (a match that ended in a 1-1 draw) is yet another cautionary tale of the pitfalls one encounters when one assumes.
Paul Ryan Visited Lambeau Field Today, So Here's GIF Of Him Waving A Terrible Towel In Carnegie, PA
He wore a Packers jacket at Lambeau today, and his daughter wore a cheesehead with the Romney/Ryan logo on it. The Green Bay Press-Gazette:
He watched his children, Liza and Sam, play bean-bag toss, also known as cornhole toss, with other children. “Sam’s the cornhole king," he said.
GIF via the folks at Total Packers, who were not amused when cameras caught Ryan waving the Terrible Towel at a campaign stop in August.
Brian Urlacher Returns Interception 46 Yards For A Touchdown
Thanks to the folks at SB Nation, here is the Chicago defense once again upstaging the offense. Urlacher intercepted Hasselbeck with 2:49 left in the first quarter to give the Bears a 21-2 lead (they began the day with a blocked punt return touchdown) Chicago leads 31-5 at halftime.
Stephen A. Smith To Babe: "Family's Fine...Nothing But A Power Outage"

The Brooklyn Nets' New Mascot Basically Has The Same Name As A Porn Star
When the Nets left New Jersey, they left their old mascot, Sly, a wolf or rabbit or something, in New Jersey, along with Shawne Williams and the ghost of Kerry Kittles. The arena is new, the location is new, the mascot is new: the Nets now have BrooklyKnight (spelled like that, pronounced "Brooklyn Knight," or "Brooklyn Night," if you will). That's the same name a musician named Sene. (spelled like that, with the period) used for a song recently and he's not thrilled about the overlap. But there may be a bigger problem afoot: if the Nets want young fans to Google their fun new mascot, BrooklyKnight--and hey, they commissioned a comic book for his introduction and everything, that's what mascots are for--they'd better hope those kids are careful spellers with strict safety settings on their computers.
Here's A Missed Field Goal Returned 109.9 Yards For A Touchdown
Sharyland high school did not necessarily need this remarkable feat of balance and hand-eye coordination to defeat the Edinburg North Cougars--the final score was 48-7 in favor of Sharyland--but it was certainly fun to watch.
In the first quarter of Friday night's game between the two Mission, Texas high schools, Sean Landez took Edinburg's missed 44-yard field goal the farthest it could possibly be returned (without getting into millimeters, I suppose), easily dwarfing his 95-yard opening kickoff return from just six minutes earlier.
