John Harbaugh Runs A Tight Ship
This is the first year the Ravens have held minicamp in 10 years without choking on the fumes of Brian Billick's smug. One thing remains unchanged: the complete disorder. It just wouldn't be the Ravens without it. Nearly all of the 85 players in camp were involved in a brawl yesterday that started with an offensive and defensive tackle getting in a dust-up after a hard tackle on a running play up the middle. But, hey, no stabbings! It's a new day! More »

Alex Smith Is A Little Looser When South Of The Border
Didn't Alex Smith attend college in Utah, where drunkenly attempting to eat girls' faces is prohibited? (unless they're one of your wives, that is). Hey, who cares! We're in Mexico! Finally, my frequent visits to 49ersnews pay off. More »

The Wrong Way To Pay Your Players
Butch Cassidy: [spanish] Manos a... Manos, um... Manos arriba!
Sundance Kid: They got 'em up! Skip on down.
Butch Cassidy: Arriba!
Sundance Kid: Skip on down!
Butch Cassidy: Todos ustedes "arrismense" a la pared.
Sundance Kid: They're against the wall already!
Butch Cassidy: Donde... ah, you're so damn smart, you read it!
Another reason that you should never pay your team in cash: The Peruvian soccer team Cienciano were robbed by armed men as they were collecting their wages on Thursday.

AFC Championship: Second Half
They're underway in the second half and we've already seen Tom Brady throw an interception off of a tipped ball. Everybody but Phil wants to see Billy Volek but Marmalard is still getting plenty on his throws when he has time. They have a got a first down inside the the twenty and it looks like we're in for another good half of action. Follow along after the jump... More »

Pretty Boy Is Going to Dominate
It should come as no surprise that I'm putting my support—and money—behind the best boxer on the planet, Floyd Mayweather Jr. The fight has never been short on storylines or hype, but when when Ricky Hatton sets foot in the ring with Mayweather he will simply be outclassed. The challenger makes for a great story, and an ideal opponent for the lighting fast champion. The average sports fan might have a natural inclination to cheer for Hatton. He's active, he's straightforward, and he's the whitest motherfucker alive. Of course none of that means he has anything more than a punchers chance, and against a Hall of Famer like Mayweather, that's rarely worth a damn. More »

So that whole eight year old hockey fight you were hearing about? Turns out it was a rather lame scuffle. Stupid kids: Learn to fight like 10-year-olds, or get off the damned ice.

fight!
Cote's a mess. Three stars to the guys at Illegal Curve for sending along this good ol' fashioned donnybrook matching the Flyers' Riley Cote versus the Devils' Arron Asham. According to YouTube, it's the second time in less than a month that the two have questioned each other's manhood. (Cote asked the more difficult questions in the first one.) Here's to hoping tinfoil makes an appearance in the inevitable rubber match.

Last night a blogger e-mailed us and claimed he's the guy Detroit News columnist Chris McCosky was talking about in his column about irresponsible bloggers. This goes back a couple years, apparently, including an almost-scuffle at a leukemia benefit. So he responds with, um, heated words. [Mossisms]

We were talking to resident Deadspin Phillyologist AJ Daulerio a couple of years ago how we feared the new stadiums in Philadelphia, with their shiny whirlgigs and fancy doohickies, would wring some of the life and vigor our of the Philly faithful. Would it make them soft and complacent, too happy in the new gigs, afraid to take the tarp off the brand new sofa? Well, this no longer appears to be a problem. More »

Who Needs Demetrius When You Have Katsidis?!
Damn, I really hope all of those sportswriters penning their "Boxing Is Dead" stories forked over the money last night. They certainly would have gotten their money's worth in addition to a pleasant relevation. No, Demetrius Hopkins' fight was not televised, and I was a bit pissed. That feeling disappeared once I witnessed one of the great performances of our time. Michael Katsidis, an undefeated Australian of Greek heritage, put the lightweight division on notice in what will immediately go down as the leading contender for Fight of the Year. A week after Arturo Gatti's retirement the boxing world might have found it's next great warrior. Read on for a lot more on the epic bout and two other entertaining contests. More »
at least there was one great fight
• Boxing: Bernard Hopkins clutched and butted his way to an unsatisfying decision over Winky Wright. After the fight Hopkins called out Joe Calzaghe who could be heard laughing all the way from Wales.
• Soccer: Beckham debuted but Chelsea escaped from LA with a signature 1-0 win.
• MLB: Say Hey! Neither Will nor the Catholic Church was too happy with Willie Harris' 6-6 6 RBI performance against the Cardinals. Will was actually driven to tears, but that was mostly Voldemort related.

Dan Shaughnessy Needs Your Help!
A couple of months ago, everybody's favorite Curly Haired Boyfriend — credit to Simmons: No nasty emails please, Bill! — Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy release a memoir about his son's senior year of high school baseball. Whatever your thoughts on this — and we suspect you have some — the book has received middling but not wretched reviews, and has sold decently. But that's apparently not enough for the Shaughnessy family. More »
