Challis' Message Continues To Inspire


Those who have been following the story of John Challis in the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette shouldn't be surprised that he's taking the country by storm. The Freedom High School (Pa.) senior, who has terminal cancer, was invited to attend Game 2 of the NHL playoff series between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh on Sunday at Mellon Arena, and even got to hang out with Mario Lemieux in his suite, along with Steelers chairman Dan Rooney and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Jeff Reed Will See Your Giant Dong And Raise You A Tiara And A Lady


Those ribald, pigskin miscreants at Thee Kissing Suzy Kolber have been gifted with a picture of Steelers' kicker Jeff Reed acting just like you'd expect Steelers' kicker Jeff Reed to act at a Las Vegas poolside bar. The three pictures of Reed show him wearing a sash, a bib and a tiara, or donning a tiara while girl-curling. More »

nfl draft

Your Weekend Of Name Recitation And Breathless Speculation Hath Arrived!

Yes, ESPN's draft coverage is underway, four hours before the Dolphins shock the world by picking Jake Long. Now they're saying Chris Long is going to the Rams. Let's tip all the picks hours in advance. No reason to make it so people actually watch the draft. For those who stick around, choose between your drinking game with The Internet Is For Zorn and Bleacher Report. The latter recommends Chad Johnson trade speculation for boozing, but I'm going with Jeremy Shockey and Jason Taylor. More »

Jeff Reed Is Available If You Have Drink Specials

If you're hanging around Altoona, Penn., at the beginning of June, we highly encourage you to drop by the game between the New Britain Rockcats and the Altoona Curve. Because they've got quite the celebrity throwing out the first pitch. More »

Sir, You Seem To Have Dropped Your Terrible Towel

For those of you out there whose Mondays feel incomplete without a naked picture of a Pittsburgh Steeler, your day is about to pick up a bit. First, it was kicker Jeff Reed, snapping a picture of his freshly shorn pubis region then having it hit the web. Now, wide receiver Santonio Holmes has allegedly been snapped without his uniform (or anything else on), while standing with his arms seductively raised in an unidentifiable shower, which is most likely not Heinz Field. (Extremely NSFW photo after the jump. Unless, of course, your job is to search for photos of black penises all day. Those people might get a raise. ) More »

'Hawks Fan Hocks Bitter Loogie

Southerners and the Civil War. That's perhaps the one group of people more single-mindedly embittered by an event than Seahawks fans and Super Bowl XL. "How dare those refs flag Darrell Jackson for pushing off Chris Hope directly in front of an official!?" "Calling Sean Locklear for a clear holding call on Clark Haggans stalled one of our key drives! No fair!" A short-order cook in Seattle decided that he could takes no more and in one expectoration, he could dispel all the lingering bitterness. More »

There Are Right Reasons, And Wrong Reasons, To Slap A Lady, Apparently

This is James Harrison, an All-Pro linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Earlier this month, Harrison, charmingly, smacked his girlfriend in the face, breaking her glasses, during an 1 a.m. argument. Harrison was not kicked off the team. Just a few days later, though, wide receiver Cedrick Wilson was released by the team after being arraigned for hitting his estranged girlfriend. (She claims the incident was misconstrued, that he only "shoved" her.) So what's the difference between the two? Not that Harrison is valuable and Wilson' isn't, nope, says chairman Dan Rooney. It's all about intent. More »

recipe for trouble

Cedrick Wilson Will Take That Shrimp Quesadilla To Go

Where's freaking Dr. Phil when you actually need him? Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Cedrick Wilson is free on $10,000 bail today after being arrested Wednesday and charged with simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct in an alleged assault on his ex-girlfriend at a Pittsburgh-area restaurant. A few hours later, the Steelers released Wilson. Wilson apparently saw Lindsey Paulat at the bar and walked up to her, pushed her, and then punched her, according to witnesses; one of whom was a Deadspin reader, apparently (hey, send us an e-mail if you're around today).

Tough Times In Steeltown

We have made no secret of our enduring love of The Dugout, both in its original incarnation and its current, non-expletive form at AOL Sports. But you think these guys just know baseball? Pshaw.

Therefore, Football Guys, the official chatroom of the NFL. It will run here on Deadspin weekly, every Tuesday, until the end of the NFL season. So do enjoy, after the jump.

we work hard, we play hard

Pittsburgh vs. Jacksonville

Well that last game pretty much ripped my heart right out, but I don't think this one is capable of such damage. Regardless, there's money on the table and I'm already down, so my interest stoked. The Jaguars crossed Clemente Bridge for the second time in three weeks with enough confidence to take the field as if it were their own; their own shity, shitty field. The Steelers are up against it, but perhaps just for tonight, Steely McBeam's gay power can overcome and Deuce's can be wild. I will be providing occasional updates (although far less frequent) during the late game, so join along after the jump... More »

Najeh Davenport New Dump Truck For Steelers

The Steelers might have won last night — a loss would have been devastating to their hopes f staving off the Browns — but they lost running back Willie Parker for the rest of the year with a broken leg. (Good thing nobody plays fantasy football in Week 17.) And now only one man can save them: The Hamper Shitter. More »

The Rams Can Cure What Ails Ya

The Steelers wouldn't actually blow this thing, would they? The team with the handsome coach and the gay mascot have looked awful the last few weeks, and now the Browns are threatening to pass them. But they wouldn't fall so far to lose to the Rams, right? Right? More »

Steelers Roll Around In The Slop For Three Hours

How close we were last night to a 0-0 tie on "Monday Night Football." That's one that would have gone down in history; we'd certainly remember a soccer result more than we'd remember a dull, sloppy, soaked morass. All that was missing last night was fog. More »

The Dolphins' Quest For History Continues


We are set up, once again, for a dreadful Monday Night Football game, but at least there's some history on the line: We'd love to see Steve Spurrier and the 1976 Buccaneers on the sideline, cheering for the Dolphins so that they can all have their yearly Miller High Life celebration once the last winless team finally succeeds.
