Coach K: iPod Spokesperson
For those of you gearing up for the UNC-Duke game this weekend, we present you with ... a cartoon!...
Hee. Hee-hee-hee. Boobs! Hee-hee. HEE!
All right, we're all about being a fifth-grade boy this morning....
Wolverines Get In On The Rap Game
In the tradition of Miami's Seventh Floor Crew, three Michigan football players — Jerome Jackson, Tyrone Jordan and Landon Smith — have recorded a supposedly derogatory song called "Measly Penny", in which the players take turns denigrating a woman who apparently has caused them collective pain. (...
Help Us Do The Best NCAA Preview Of All Time
Well, kids, Championship Week starts tonight, and you know what that means: The NCAA Tournament is tantalizingly close. We were trying to think of ways we could do the tournament justice, Deadspin-style, and we realized what makes this site fun is not us, but you. Who better to write about individ...
To Watch Tonight
A kinky three-way between your ass, the sofa and the TV ... • College Basketball: LSU at South Carolina, Illinois at Minnesota. Are we having Illini pie or Gopher stew? [ESPN] • NHL: Minnesota at Colorado. And we're back, after the longest layoff since the strike. Except for the Swedes, of course, w...
Roger Even Throws At Unborn Sons
As an update on the Roger Clemens item from earlier, an eagle-eyed reader points out that this is hardly the first time Roger has not hesitated to give the high hard one (so to speak) to a family member....
Leftovers: Villanova Blue
• Curtis Sumpter to miss rest of the season for Villanova. [Big East Basketball] • Don't expect Eric Moulds back in Buffalo next year. [Buffalo's Best Blog] • Apparently, Scoop Jackson gets to write a yearbook entry every year at ESPN. Maybe it's in his contract. [ESPN] • You think Destiny Frankenst...
"Uh, Guys? GUYS! Oh Noooooo!"
Ah, Spring Training. The green grass. The sense of renewal. The fields where grown men play a boy's game. The sudden realization that, after years of abuse, it has finally happened: Your balls are gone....
One Of Our Favorite Days Of The Year
Forgive us if the site devolves into prattle the rest of this week: Our copy of Baseball Prospectus 2006 just arrived in our mailbox — we have a big mailbox — and if past years are any indicator, we're not gonna get much work done this week....
Hide Your Eyes, Children
Your eyes are not deceiving you, unless you think that's a picture of a sane human being unworthy of ridicule, in which case, yes, your eyes are deceiving you....
Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks: Peter Vecsey
Forgive the analogy, but it occurred to us that a Peter Vecsey column is a lot like going hunting with Dick Cheney. If you're loud and obnoxious enough to scare the little critters out of hiding and keep loudly blasting away, you're bound to hit something eventually. And those innocent people who ...
Four Tiny Tidbits On: The Giants
We're just more than a month from Opening Day, so it's time to start previewing the season. Inspired by an old feature on The Black Table, we're going team-by-team and distributing Four Things You Don't Know about them. We're not sure how this is gonna work, but if you have suggested oddities on y...
Blogdome: Vince Young's Wonderlic ... Revealed!
• At last it can be revealed: What Vince Young's Wonderlic test sheet really looked like. [YAYSports!] • The Redskins-Cowboys rivalry has finally made its way to NASCAR. [The Hater Nation] • The Olympics taught us what Americans are all about. For better or worse. [Jon Swift] • Remember that old Yan...
You Fought The ESPN, And The ESPN Won
We're going to say something right now that's probably not very smart: Until we started doing this site, we had never paid for ESPN Insider, though we'd be reading it since the '90s. In fact, just about everyone we know who has ESPN Insider either uses, or once used, someone else's password. It's ...
Your Average Bass Fishing Fan
Anything that brings up both curling and fishing is golden in our book, so this post from Something Awful tickled our fancy....
Mark Prior Knows Not Of Your "Blogs"
In the past, we've received emails saying we should check out Mark Prior's MySpace page. We've grown increasingly skeptical of alleged athlete MySpace profiles, if just because, well, about 85 percent of the time they're fake....
Manute Bol, Being Boxed Again
Remember earlier this month, when we spotlighted former NBAer Manute Bol and his heroic efforts to shed light on the horrors currently going on in Darfur? Well, we still think his cause is noble, but some new news has us less convinced about him....
Oh, That's A Yellow Card, Sugar
Via The Mighty MJD, Sportshooligan and Flurl.com comes just about the most hysterical thing we've seen all week: The world's most flamboyant soccer referee....
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 10 a.m. MLB Fantasy Focus: I don't care what the title of this chat says, my fantasy has and always will focus on a slumber party pillow fight between Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie. • 11 a.m. NBA with Marc Stein: Do you think that the...
Roger Clemens Grounds His Son
We kind of like that final scene in The Natural, where Roy Hobbs is playing catch with his son in a wheat field. But when the subject is Roger Clemens playing baseball with his son, a couple of other films come to mind. • The Great Santini. Dad: Robert Duvall. Son: Michael O'Keefe. Quote: "You go...
