We like to request records from public universities from time to time. We also like to request the requests made to these universities, which lets us know who's snooping around where. Mainly, it's reporters. Occasionally, though, one of our meta-requests reveals some high-level intercollegiate inanity, such as this petition from the University of Illinois's office for planning and budgeting to the University of Michigan's office of budget and planning. What did Illinois want? A look at Michigan's nether regions (contractually speaking). More »

We at Deadspin have had a lot to say about the Super Bowl over the past few days. It was one hell of a Super Bowl to analyze beforehand, and even better to watch. Manning, Manningham, Madonna, M.I.A., all of that stuff. And it was close. All throughout the game, our fair site was churning, with videos and screen caps and analysis and Rush Limbaugh picking his nose in the owner's box. Catch up here on what you might have missed.

Over the past week or so, we've roasted our former editor A.J. Daulerio, who has moved across the room to edit Gawker, the English-language newsletter of a Hungarian tech company. Some people who knew A.J., and some who didn't know him at all, were kind enough to send in their own tributes to the man. More »

Well, the season is basically over. It's been fun at times and not so fun other times. As we prepare to enter the "second season" or the "12 team tournament" or whatever other weird term people come up with for "playoffs," let's recap the last week of the regular season. More »

For whatever reason, Eli will always be considered a terrible quarterback. Maybe it's because he is a contemporary of some very, very good quarterbacks—one of whom is his big brother—or maybe it's because he is kind of a doofus. Or maybe it's because he lost to Alex Smith and is terrible. Either way, here's your Sunday roundup. Enjoy. More »

At nearly every turn in Howie Spira's tangled and antagonistic history, there was a phone call. And on the phone calls, he had his tape recorder. Howie's cassettes captured his rift with Dave Winfield, his conniving with George Steinbrenner, and his turn against Steinbrenner. They captured threats from the mob. Here's a sampling of his audio archive. More »

No, there are no photos of Cashman's actual dong to show you—not that we know of—but now the story of Cash's dong's wayward habits is news. The Yankees general manager's relationship with the woman in these photos has been known or suspected among New York reporters for years, but has been just too darn shady, complicated, and expensive to pursue, especially at the risk of antagonizing the Yankees.

It was a frightful beating that gave rise to Deadspin's ongoing search for the meaning of Bartolo Colon—the 38-year-old Yankees starter got knocked out of the first inning against the Blue Jays, surrendering 8 runs (3 earned), an outing so bad it raised questions about the pitcher's very purpose in this world. Questions about all of us. More »

Yesterday, in its infinite wisdom, ESPN gave us White Michael Vick. We're still not sure entirely why, although it "got people talking" in the way that most silly ESPN things do.

The video was taken by something called "PopCandies TV" and was sent to us by an anonymous tipster who suggests that it's enough evidence to prove that Beadle and Clay Matthews were somewhat super-friendly that enchanted evening, more so than she let on. It shows Beadle, Matthews and others strolling along the LA sidewalk on the way to the infamous ESPY's after party at the W Hotel. HOWEVER: Beadle said this was an innocent walk and she would like to say, again,that she did not fuck Clay Matthews. For the record. More »
