Seriously, Did Tony Kornheiser Have Electroshock Therapy Before The Game Last Night?
Everything about the man seemed a bit ... off. From his wacky hair, to his glibness, to his bad jokes, to his worshipful Dallas Cowboy comments. And, of course, there was the odd apology he threw out there, after making this remark: ...
DeSean Jackson's End Zone Brainfartery Will Be Overlooked — For Now
Yes, last night was disappointing in many ways, but it has not completely killed my faith: I still like my team. If anything, last night's Eagles/Cowboys game proved that Donovan McNabb is fully-recovered and that DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia's own Barack Obama, is still on pace to be the greatest E...

Morning Blogdome: Baron Davis Scorns Woman; Woman Blogs Her Fury
• Baron Davis' attitude problem: "So pa-leeze people, don’t tell me how wonderful Baron Davis is just because there’s a photo or two of him playing with kids for an ego boost.

The Birdacity Of Hope Is What Helps Us Make It Through The Night
I am exhausted. Utterly, completely, wiped.I have been away from Philadelphia for what seems like years and living out of a suitcase. I am down one pair of underwear thanks to the damn figs and now on my last pair of reasonably clean clothes. (Ones that will only require two spritzes of Febreeze for...
Afternoon Blogdome: Show Us Your Titanies
• Let's hear it for the 'Cuse: "That's half of the face of Channel 3 weekend sports guy Niko Tamurian giving us a Sunday evening recap of the Cuse-PSU game. Now I know WSTM sinks a lot of money into big-time operations like Doppler the cat but isn't it someone's job to check this stuff before it goe...
ESPN.com Becomes More F-Bomb Friendly to Help Promote Klosterman Novel
It'll be interesting to see how Chuck Klosterman's new novelabout owls or something does comparatively to all of his other work to date. Will those legions of fans devoted to his pop cultural mash-up musings and heavy metal tolerate a "serious" novel from a not-so-serious writer?(My guess: probably ...
Chris Cooley's Accidental Nude Blogging Causes Stress For Cooley Family, Inc.
I'm not big on saving too many text messages, but the one I received at 9:02 p.m. last evening while sitting in a Chili's in Hermosa Beach will probably be archived for eternity:"Hey, it's Tanner Cooley. I need to talk to you about my brother's cock picture on the site. Call me." Yesterday when KOGO...
David Foster Wallace: Sports Writer
Like many aspiring professional typists, I was curious about David Foster Wallace and admired him for his prodigious writing talent, even though I found a huge portion of his writing indecipherable. (I've read the first 22 pages of "Infinite Jest" many, many times, but never past that point. ) Frida...

• How many cups can you put on the drunk man's head?: The "colonel" of the Stephen A. Smith Heckling Society Of Gentlemen comes through with something non-Stephen A.-related, but equally hilarious.

USC not unanimous number 1? "Georgia received two first-place votes from the coaches, and Oklahoma and Florida got one vote each. The coaches reveal only their final ballots, so we're only guessing that Georgia's votes came from Bulldogs Coach Mark Richt and the Southeastern Conference coach who jus...

I'm The Type Of Guy That Likes To Roam Around
I don't blame you. When I was your age, I was knockin' 'em off left and right; but I never did it with nobody's daughter. You should have given her an ankle bracelet and stuck to jerkin' off! If you're fearful of the Galasso brothers and the Ducky Boys, then you're ready to be a Deadspin advertiser....

The Overlords of The Swoosh otherwise known as Nike are rolling out a new slogan geared toward European women called "Here I Am" and it's got our buddy Moe over at Gawker all frothy and ready to break stuff. (Doesn't take much. The gal's feisty.) She burns: ...
A Night Out With Linda Cohn
The first thing you notice about Linda Cohn is the voice. It's a definitive Long Island accent that is so pronounced it sounds like someone doing a bad Long Island accent impersonation. "Coffee Talk" in the flesh. And she laughs a lot. A giddy, crazy laugh that ‘s a bit jarring. We met in the lobby ...
