Vegas Summer League Is A Fanboy's Wet Dream
Are you a fan of basketball? Do you enjoy traveling to Las Vegas? Do you appreciate young ladies of questionable legality traipsing around in tiny shirts that read "Where Amazing Happens" and very little else? Well then why the fuck would you miss the NBA's Vegas Summer League? More »

Deadspin Weekends
Introducing Your New Weekend Crew
It is my distinct pleasure to announce the formation of a new stable of writers who will be handling weekend duties here at Deadspin. Beginning in August we'll be featuring four new primary weekend writers, as well as two tremendous swing contributors who will presumably write for the site while not attending sexy key parties. I myself will be serving as the Weekend Editor, and I'll even be using my real name (but you can feel free to keep calling me Unsilent, Maj, and/or shithead depending on your preference). Continue after the jump to meet the group. More »

Round of the Year Ends In KO of the Year
When Kendall Holt first fought Ricardo Torres for the WBO Light Welterweight title back in September he had to do so in his opponent's home country of Colombia. To call the atmosphere "hostile" would be quite an understatement. When Holt knocked the champion down in the sixth round he was rewarded with a beer to the head from a spectator. More »

Spain vs. Italy: Extra Time
We're back live after a short intermission before the beginning of extra time. We're in for another thirty minutes of this, so get comfortable. Spain has already been peppering Italy with shots, but nothing is making its way to the goal. Silva just fired a rocket wide that would have sent chills through the body of every Italy hater watching. Alas. Continue along after the jump. More »

Spain vs. Italy: Second Half
Holy crap, that first half was painful to watch. Sure I may not be a fan of Italy to begin with, but the flops and questionable challenges are sucking the quality right out of the game. To their credit they play stifling defense, but it's not exactly fan-friendly. Hopefully the second half will open up a bit, but it's not all that likely. I can't believe I'm actually hoping for a Cesc Fabregas appearance, but he would make the game a bit prettier. Continue after the jump for the second half action as it happens. More » -

Berto Is More God Than Man
I've made no secret of my affection for Andre Berto, perhaps now you know why. The 24 year-old welterweight put the boxing world on notice, announcing his presence in the upper tier of the sport's best division. Berto earned the vacant WBC belt with a dazzling knockout performance against an admittedly mediocre Miki Rodriguez. More » -

C.C. Is Not A Singles Hitter
After a rough start to the season Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia has found his groove on the mound, and now at the plate as well. The rotund power pitcher didn't like his teammates calling him a singles hitter after last year's round of interleague play, so he stepped into the box in his first at bat of the season and crushed Chan Ho Park's offering some 440 feet. Sabathia matched that power on the mound, striking out 10 Dodgers in seven innings while yielding just one run on a Matt Kemp homer. The score remained locked at one until Cleveland exploded for six runs in the 11th inning. More » -
Showtime Boxing Closer
Herzlich Willkommen In Amerika!
Arthur Abraham didn't like the idea of people questioning his controversial hometown victory over Edison Miranda, so two years later he came stateside to make it official. Abraham thrice dropped Miranda, who fell back into his unfortunate habit of dirty fighting to no avail. After the third knockdown of the fourth round the referee decided that he'd seen enough. After the fight Abraham pitched himself to the American audience in his earnest broken English while calling out Kelly Pavlik and Oscar de la Hoya. Whomever he fights, Abraham should have a great future in the US. Continue after the jump for the undercard and overseas action... More »

It's Everywhere
A Night Of Boxing
The last time Edison Miranda fought Arthur Abraham the result was a classic, albeit marred by some poor officiating. That night an undefeated Miranda traveled to Germany to face the similarly undefeated champion of Europe. Miranda broke Abraham's jaw in the fifth round, and the blood flowed from there. However Abraham somehow managed to continue on, ultimately winning a decision thanks to some questionable point deductions on Miranda. Tonight the two finally get back in the ring, and this time they'll fight it out in Florida, friendlier confines for Miranda without question. That fight will headline Showtime's spectacular card, and they're also showing the '06 fight right now (turn it on!). Continue after the jump for a breakdown of the other tremendous matchups on busy Saturday, including HBO's card headlined by my man-crush, Andre Berto. More » -

We're already half way through the first knockout stage of Euro 2008, and we'll be treated to another fantastic match.

Elijah Dukes Is A Bad Bad Man
The Rangers (née Senators) and the Nationals (like the Senators minus Frank Howard) took 14 innings to decide things before Elijah Dukes delivered with his second walk-off hit of the month. Back on June 5th Dukes finally crossed the Mendoza line with four hits, including a 10th inning game-winning homer, and last night was just as good. The oft troubled outfielder finished the night 5-6 from the plate, raising his average to a season high .270, a 67 point rise in just 14 games. The Nats trailed 3-2 in the eighth inning when Dukes tied things up with his second home run of the season, and the bullpen took over from there, with Joel Hanrahan picking up his third win. More »

The Boston Celtics are set to host their second game seven of the playoffs, having successfully defended home court in each game of the post-season.
