NFL Roundup: Down Goes Tice!
• What's funnier than Mike Tice being rolled over and knocked down on the sideline? Nothing, that's what. By the way, we find Tice's dopey sideline celebrations undignified, and Tom Coughlin's constant gyrations of fury incredibly amusing. • Samkon Gado, baby, Samkano Gado. Two touchdowns, one gr...

Week In Deadspin: Rodman, Cold Pizza And Us
• Lesbian cheerleaders getting it on in a bathroom? What more can we tell you? It, you know, seems like the type of story people might be into. • We went to go check out Dennis Rodman's book signing, and it made us almost as sad as it made his agent jaw-droppingly (and hilariously) furious. We lov...

Oh, Sleep Well. We DARE You.

Saying A Sad Goodbye To Mock Press Conferences
Well, tonight's the final night for those brilliant and universally lauded Steve Phillips mock press conferences on ESPN, and we think it's important that the lunacy of the feature not be forgotten by time. Phillips — whom we don't mean to destroy here; he comes across sympathetic and intelligent...
Even Satan Is Saying, "Rosenhaus? Never Met Him."
The Philadelphia Daily News brings up something we pretty much all figured was going to happen: It appears a bunch of Drew Rosenhaus' clients are seriously considering dropping him after his pretty clear botching of the Terrell Owens situation. Rosenhaus signed up most of his clients in the last t...

You Can't Trust Cheerleaders. You CAN'T.

Jim Edmonds, Gold LOVER
We've been so caught up with lesbian cheerleaders and fake press conferences — both of which, just to wrap all this up, we'll be checking back with later today — that we forgot to check in with the great On The DL girls this week. We're sorry, ladies! We still have nothing but love....

Welcome Back To L.A.
Uh, if you're a Vikings, Chargers or Saints fan today, we'd suggest not getting too attached to your team.
