We're At The End Of Our Rope

It's a sad day here at Deadspin World Headquarters, as the Talking Dennis Miller action figure was found hanged to death early this morning by the cleaning crew. Suicide is suspected, although I blame the cat. His last words were thought to have included a snarky insult of some sort, followed by an arcane reference to the Crimean War. Such a tragic waste of $22.95. Talking Dennis Miller will be interred in my backyard, alongside the Tomb of the Unknown GI Joe. More »

Defying The Odds, Our Hero Makes It To Week 2

My Talking Dennis Miller Action Figure arrived in the mail today, and I'm happier than Wink Martindale on the Island of Topless Double-D Spokesmodels. Although on close inspection Talking Dennis more resembles the guy who sold me my term life insurance. So far I haven't been able to find the button that makes him talk, although I'm sure that Rupert Murdoch can show me where it is. More »

Dennis Is Here! Rejoice!

So is it mere coincidence that Dennis Miller starts his new sports show on Versus on the same day that we open our Sports Human of the Year nominations? (lowers glasses, looks thoughtfully at reader). We weren't born yesterday, babe. Sports Unfiltered with Dennis Miller kicked off on Tuesday, and if there were any of you who thought that the first guest wasn't going to be Curt Schilling, that's ten demerits, soldier. It was a wonderful segment, after which the two exchanged American flag lapel pins and waterboarded a Versus intern. More »

Dennis Miller is Coming And It Seems There's Nothing We Can Do About It


Hey there kemosabe it's me, Dennis Miller. While it's true that I've had more shows than the original Broadway run of Cats, I really don't see how one more is going to hurt. Hair plugs aren't cheap, OK babe? So pull up a footstool and check out the promo for my latest offering, Sports Unfiltered with Dennis Miller, which is set to cha-cha into your living rooms on Nov. 6. Because smarmy pseudo-punditry will be in short supply this winter what with the elections coming up! More »

Even If You Wanted To Watch The NHL, You Couldn't

If you were wanting to watch the NHL Awards on Versus last night — and you were, of course — you probably noticed that they weren't on at the time they were supposed to be. In fact, they ran two hours late, taped, with some sort of "Toughman" competition on instead. Literally dozens of NHL fans were left in the cold. More »

Yeah, About That Versus Deal ...

Far be it from us to imply that the NHL might have made a mistake aligning itself with a network as shaky as Versus, but ... well ... it's not a good sign when your network might be pulled off cable right before the playoffs. More »

Naming Your Network After Disappointing Pearl Jam Albums

Perhaps realizing once and for all that having a leaf in your logo doesn't exactly make us think you're the toughest network around — as opposed to, say, SPIKE TV, DUDE! — the Outdoor Life Network is changing its name to "Versus" in September, just in time for NHL season. More »
