Raul Ibanez Has A Few Things To Get Off His Chest
The 37-year-old Phillies left fielder, who's having a remarkable Ted Williams-like season, has discovered his success will bring out the skeptics and the awful PED rumor-mongering. He addressed those non-believers who question his body's legitimacy. More »

After Abilene Christian's 93-Point Saturday Afternoon, Fans Ask What's Next?
Stuff you may not know about Div. 1-AAII Abilene Christian University: Their quarterback, Billy DonMadisonMalone, was once the heir apparent to J.P. Losman at Tulane, and some says he's better. Wilbert Montgomery, who still holds the franchise rushing record for the Philadelphia Eagles, is a proud alum. And two players on their current roster are the younger brothers of two very famous Big 12 quarterbacks. One thing you probably did know: The Wildcats beat West Texas A&M 93-68 in an NCAA Division II second-round playoff game on Saturday. As even Christ himself might say, that's a lot of (expletive deleted) points. More »

They Called Him Sugarfoot: Carl Joseph, The One-Legged Wonder
Well, if this story doesn't inspire you, you're a rather hopeless cynic. Take a look at this amazing video on the athletic career of one Carl Joseph, who has just been nominated for the Florida Sports Hall of Fame. Joseph, who grew up in poverty on a tobacco farm in north Florida, was born with only one leg, but went on to become an eight-time letterman in high school sports and play college football. He did it without a prosthesis of any kind, relying only on his one good leg and a pretty damned big heart. I got the opportunity to talk with him recently, and that interview, along with the video, is after the jump.

Peter Boulware Finds Things A Bit Different In This School Of Hard Knocks
This time Peter Boulware got to play some offense. The results were less than satisfactory, however, as the former Baltimore Ravens linebacker came up just short in his quest to win a seat in the Florida state House of Representatives on Nov 4. Final score: Michelle Rehwinkle Vasilinda 48.6 percent, Boulware 48.1 percent. That's microscopically close to the goal line, as the 0.5053 percent difference was less than half a percentage point from what was needed to gain an automatic recount. Of more than 80,000 votes cast, Boulware lost by only 440. I talked with him about his adventures on the campaign trail, seen below. More »

Mike Nadel Got Your E-mail And Is Actually Quite A Reasonable Fellow
Yesterday's column by Mike Nadel caused a major stir in the sports blogatorium and sports media in general when he crucified America's favorite sideline princess, Erin Andrews, for her wardrobe and flirtatious reporting style while she was covering the last game in the Cubs/Brewers series Wednesday night. Even ESPN felt the need to make a statement about the column. Kind of. ESPN's Norby Williamson issued this response through PR:

Pat Jordan Doesn't Mess Around
Many Deadspin readers were probably introduced to Pat Jordan's work thanks to his Jose Canseco piece that was published here. If you looked a little closer at some of the other stories he'd penned in the past, you may have realized you'd read one of his stories before. Some of Jordan's best work is archived in the new book " The Best Sports Writing Of Pat Jordan," which is exceptional reading for anyone interested in sportswriting that's vital, literary, and human.

Bob Costas Addresses Last Week's Comments
Last night, while preparing for today's tournament lunacy and trying to find a picture of Mississippi Valley State's logo (he is Ming, and he is merciless), our phone rang. We didn't have time to answer it, so 20 minutes later, we checked our messages. It was Bob Costas. He wanted to discuss, on record, his comments from last week. We called him back and talked for about 20 minutes. Samplings of the interview follow.

Our Interview With Harold Reynolds
Friday afternoon, we accepted an invitation to MLB.com's offices in Manhattan for an interview with ... Harold Reynolds. This is the first SHOTY nominee we've interviewed — save for the imaginary conversations with Barbaro that go on in our head every day — and we talked for about an hour on a variety of topics, most of which involved ESPN and Reynolds' ongoing lawsuit against the company.
