Slava Medvedenko Is The Anti-Joe Kines
But he is no less entertaining, albeit in his own special Slava way. Medvedenko just signed with the Atlanta Hawks, so you're not likely to ever hear from him again. But the good news is that the Hawks gig puts him in closer physical proximity to Joe Kines, upping the chances of the two of them havi...
Tiger Woods Hits It Like A Champ
Deviant perversion Romance is in the air today here on Deadspin, as women that I find attractive keep doing things that make them less attractive. First, Hingis goes and gets engaged... and now, Elin Nordegren has gotten herself impregnated. Tiger is presumably the father, but I wouldn't rule out ...
Today In The Premiership...
• Chelsea 2-2 Fulham. Oh, that one hurts. Taking the draw at home against a middle-of-the-table Fulham side... I guess you suck, Chelsea. It's their second straight draw, and fourth consecutive Premiership game in which they've given up two goals (not coincidentally also the fourth straight game t...
Martina Hingis Set To Marry And End The Career Of Radek Stepanek
Martina Hingis is marrying Radek Stepanek, a Czech tennis-playing douchebag who is now most famous for marrying Martina Hingis. Those of you who are disappointed that Martina is now off the market need not worry, though. Stepanek will probably be dead within the month....
Alabama Can Stop Their Search For A New Head Coach
If they don't give up with their Nick Saban flirtation and make interim head coach Joe Kines their permanent head coach, then I'm just going to hate Alabama forever. If Every Day Should Be Saturday isn't posting about this guy every week, then a crime is being perpetrated against humanity....
Johnny Fontane Will Be Starting For Palermo Soon
On Christmas eve, the wife of Rino Foschi, head coach of the Palermo soccer team, opened up a pleasant-looking present that was under their Christmas tree. Inside was a severed goat's head, covered blood....

About Last Night...
• College Football: Texas Tech 44, Minnesota 41. Texas Tech comes back from trailing 38-7 in the second half. Historic. Too bad this had to happen in something called the Insight Bowl. • NBA: Suns 108, Knicks 86. Steve Nash scores his 10,000th point, Stephon Marbury still thinks he's better. • Colle...
If Anything Is Going To Lure Karl Malone Out Of Retirement...
...it will almost certainly be the Memphis Grizzlies "Camo Night," being held tonight in conjunction with the Grizzlies vs. Bucks (and I bet that's not a coincidence) game tonight at the FedEx Forum. Fishermen and hunters of any animal (including little Mexican girls) are encouraged to attend the ...
Some Casting Director Has Their Work Cut Out For Them
Apparently, they'll make a movie about damn near anyone these days. The latest athlete to get the big screen treatment is spectacularly-bearded former Jazz center Mark Eaton. Eaton will be the subject of a film by Stacy Dymalski that will probably not be entitled, "What's Eatin' Mark Eaton?"...

• Ambitious bloggers are attending three bowl games in three states in five days. They will likely not be sober for a second of it. [Bowl Tour 2007] • Because we just can't get enough of Big Units around here, enjoy some Randy Johnson trade talk. [Sports Frog] • Michael Strahan is done for the year....

Car Penetrates Fred Smoot's Face
Fred Smoot's jaw is broken in five places as the result of a recent car accident, and he's out of the hospital and recovering, according to Vikings head coach Brad Childress. There aren't a lot of details available at the moment, but there is no reason to believe (well, not much reason, anyway) that...

Carmelo's Suspension Gives Him More Time To Punch People
It's sort of like Tank Johnson using his time on house arrest to do some firearm shopping online, but Carmelo Anthony has taken up boxing as he waits out his 15-game suspension. Carmelo had taken up boxing as a hobby this offseason, and he's picking it back up now that he's got some extra time on ...
Doug Johnson Must Be Some Kind Of Douchebag
With a staggering 39% of the vote, Terrell Owens was the "winner" of an SI.com poll among NFL athletes on the subject of the league's most annoying player. Owens was one of only two players to get into a double digit percentage, the other being Joey Porter with a disappointing 10%....
Spit Shield Purchases Skyrocketing In North Carolina
Steelers head coach Bill Cowher, beloved in many places that are not Seattle, may have given some clues yesterday about his plans for the future. He didn't announce anything, but said he'd have something to say about it next week. If he was going to stay, though, why wait to say it?...
Michigan Legends Are Dropping Like Flies
To the best of my knowledge, there was never a band called "The Dead Gerald Fords," but if such a band does exist, they're going to have to change their name, too. Former President and center on the 1932 and 1933 national champion Michigan Wolverines football teams Gerald Ford died last night at the...
Kobe Displays His Beef
I know I promised you no more kicker cock, but I don't recall saying anything about nude NBA 2-guards. Mr. Smith mentioned it briefly yesterday, but I thought it deserved its own post. It's not every day you see Kobe Bryant naked, although that might happen more often that it should....
NBA Roundup: The Rage Of Lawrence Frank
• Lawrence Frank: American ass-kicker. Nets head coach Lawrence Frank? That guy is the cause of every single one of the league's image problems. His mercurial temper and tendency towards violence got the better of him again last night after he complained about a no-call on Rasheed Wallace on a las...
