Tony Dungy Has A Short Memory


Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy spoke with kids at a high school in Tampa on Thursday and apparently he was in a mood to foment him some controversy. And not in the usual "condemning o' the gays" way. Nope. He took a shot at the rival New England Patriots being embroiled in MattWalshGate. Nothing wrong with that. What was interesting was Dungy's willingness to gloss over accusations against his team.

Then someone asked if anything happened last season that he wished he could include in the book. What followed was vintage Dungy. He seized the opening. He brought up the videotaping scandal with the New England Patriots.

Latest by whodatmaninablacksedan: Furthermore...MattWalshGate is not an unsubstantiated, far-fetched accusation like this crowd noise nonsense. The tapes exist, so the Patriots integrity is rightly questioned. For you to even insinuate that Tony Dungy, despite is preachiness, is the type of scumbag more »

Tom Brady Has A Wonder Woman Fetish

So Tom Brady wants his girlfriend to dress up as Wonder Woman? Who doesn't? Just be thankful he didn't say Aqua Boy. According to a gossip column in the Boston Globe, Gisele Bundchen revealed that Brady has a bit of a Wonder Woman fixation. Translation: If someone is thinking of making a Wonder Woman movie — ha! What a screwy notion! — she wants to be on the short list. More »

1st Round, Tenth Overall: Patriots Select Jerod Mayo


The Patriots finally picked up a linebacker under 35! And of course, they caught a few people off guard (guilty) by grabbing a guy who was low on many draft boards. Mayo started his Tennessee career at outside linebacker, but moved to the middle in 2007, and while he made a lot of plays (140 tackles), the 230-pounder was a little small and easy to block for the middle. On the outside, he's quicker, more aggressive, and better off the blitz. The Patriots will keep him on the outside, specialize his role behind all of those 30-somethings for a year or two, then turn him into someone who has the rest of the league grumbling in two years.

Tom Brady Is Out Of The Closet And Bent On Murder

Anyone watch Law & Order: Special Victims Unit? Apparently Tuesday's episode involved a thinly disguised version of Tom Brady, who was a gay quarterback implicated in a murder. Sample dialogue: "Lincoln Haver is gay? I thought he was dating Natasha Gorski, that hot supermodel." "You can't blame Lincoln for having a beard. This gets out, his career's over." Indeed. More »

The Patriots Plan On Doing The Faux Perfection Thing Again


It's a grand sports capitalist tradition to trademark a team's or an individual's achievements. Pat Riley grabbed "Threepeat;" Dennis Green, displaying a self-awareness we wouldn't have anticipated, snatched up "They are who we thought they were." The New England Patriots were all over this last year, too, making a claim for "19-0." But, of course, they lost, so they dropped it. Wait: No they didn't. More »

Manning Vs. Brady, Round II

OK, I might see Tom Brady wearing Ermenegildo Zegna clothing, but Eli Manning, I don't think so. Isn't he more of a Miller's Outpost kind of guy? Anyway, they were both on hand for the big Zegna store opening in Manhattan on Thursday, or so we are led to believe. Mr. Manning here actually looks very much like a cardboard cutout, no? More »

Would You Hire This Man To Sell Your Underwear?

So word is that Calvin Klein is driving hard to the basket, trying to lure Tom Brady as their underwear model/spokesman. For seven figures. Wow. Do I want to live in a world where Tom Brady makes more for underwear modeling than Heidi Klum? More »

rabbit season! free agent season! rabbit season!

Whither Randy Moss?

So the NFL Free Agent Season officially kicked off today, and there was much rejoicing. But the really big news (for me, anyway) is still far way, apparently: Brett Favre is still in limbo, and Randy Moss isn't talking (although speculation is he's heading to the Panthers). Until there's news on either of those fronts — or the 49ers sign Tom Brady — please do not disturb me. I'll be in my Indiana bucket. More »

Bill Belichick Knows Where Lesbians Love

At long last, a prominent pro sports coach has come out of the closet in a nationally- ... wait, what? Sorry. Scratch that. While Bill Belichick is the cover boy for this month's issue of Boston Spirit, the city's premier gay magazine, the mag's publisher points out that his photo was just picked more or less at random.

guest lecture series

I Know What You're Wondering, And The Answer Is Yes, I Have Taped You Masturbating

Welcome to the Deadspin Guest Lecture Series. Each week, we'll be inviting various luminaries from the world of sports - players, coaches, broadcasters, and MORE! - to speak to you Deadspin folks. This week: Former Patriots assistant and eye of the Spygate maelstrom, Matt Walsh.

My name is Matt Walsh. For seven years, I was employed by the New England Patriots as a PR intern, a video assistant and, later, a college scout. I was never a "coach", so to speak. Instead, I was one of the myriad anonymous employees who performed several basic tasks that helped the coaching staff develop and execute their game plans. That primarily included videotaping.

regrets, i've had a few

Who's Sorry Now? Patriots Spygate Edition

So who does one believe in this Matt Walsh vs. Bill Belichick videotaping-the-Rams-Super-Bowl-walkthrough controversy? Is Walsh, as Belichick would have us believe, a rogue agent, out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct? Or is Belichick involved in a Nixonian coverup, with guest star Scott Pioli as Spiro Agnew? One thing that may have me leaning toward the latter ... Big Bill has issued an apology. Not in connection to the Walsh allegations of course; but for the taping incident with the Jets early in the season. Repeating; Belichick has apologized. Yes, the Apocalypse is nigh. More »

Rams' Lawyers Attempt to Do What Team Could Not


It's two weeks after Losergate (or, if you will, Super Bowl XLII) and people are still making a hue and cry over cheating charges leveled at the now-humbled Patriots. The latest comes from former Rams player Willie Gary and two Rams season ticket holders, who are suing the Pats, seeking $100 million and a portion of Robert Kraft's stake in Russian petrodollars because the Pats taped the Rams walkthrough the day prior to Super Bowl XXXVI.
