Deadspin: deadspin super bowl party

Deadspin Party Brings Sexy Back

OK, so, well, Justin Timberlake didn't make it to our Super Bowl party last night, but it was still a grand time.

We had a total of about 40 or so folks, in and out through the night, and, to our surprise, even a couple folks from the Four Letter Network came out. We did not get punched. Photos can be found here. We're still a little woozy from the night, so forgive all the misspellings today.

The Deadspin Super Bowl Party Is Tonight

If you'll bear with us, allow us to contrast our Super Bowl party — at Zipps Sports Grill in Scottsdale at 7:30 p.m. tonight — and the Super Thursday event tonight just down the street at Axis/Radius.

First, you have the guest list for the Axis/Radius event.

Guests scheduled to appear include Michael Jordan, Peyton and Eli Manning, Justin Timberlake, Lance Armstrong, Alyssa Milano, Taye Diggs, Tony Romo, Joey Fatone, Matt Leinart, Charles Barkley, Wilmer Valderrama, Brooke Burke, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Emmitt Smith, Alice Cooper, Phil Michelson, Jerry Rice, Warren Sapp, Carson Daly, Vanessa Minnillo and Carmen Electra.

That's all fine and good. But what about ours? To quote commenter Jehovah's Witness Protection Program:

4 pencil-neck guys with acne drinking Diet Coke and playing Uno while prank-calling phoenix phone-sex hotlines and watching Woody Allen movies

Now come on: What sounds more fun to you?

OK, fine, so maybe the Axis/Radius party sounds slightly more desirable; it does, after all, have Alice Cooper. But do you really think you're getting into a party that has Justin Timberlake? Really? Right.

Let's look at the Google Map for the Axis/Radius party:

OK, now let's look at the one for our party:

We are seriously just down the street. And our party doesn't cost anything to get in, and everyone is welcome. Oh, and there's Uno.

So, we'll see you there.

The Official Deadspin Super Bowl Party In Scottsdale

Leitch — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 18:45:20 EST

Monday afternoon, we'll be heading to Phoenix/Tempe/Glendale/whatever for our trip to Super Bowl XLII. We're going to be writing two columns a day, plus doing the site, all on West Coast time. So forgive the oncoming cavalcade of spelling mistakes. But the day the site will really suffer will be the Friday before the game. That's because Thursday night is The Official Deadspin Super Bowl Party.

What is The Official Deadspin Super Bowl Party, you ask? Good question! We're not sure ourselves! Basically, so much of the week of the Super Bowl revolves around the eternal question: Think you'll be able to get in the (insert name of magazine with naked or pseudo-naked people in it) party? The line's around the block. But we hear Matt Leinart might be there! (This is a joke: Matt Leinart will be at every party, including a kegger thrown by a few Arizona State grad students.)

Ours will not be like that; ours is open for everyone. If you've been rejected from a party, or just decide you can't look at any more nearly naked people and need the loving embrace of fellow sports enthusiasts/social outcasts, you are welcome at the Deadspin party. There Will Be Booze.

We'll be reminding you about it over the next week, but if you're gonna be in the Phoenix area, it's Thursday night, 7:30 p.m., at Zipps Sports Grill in Scottsdale. The party is ours. The night is young. Screw the Maxim party; it's a party hosted by a blog!
