I Wish You Wouldn't Kill Anthony Morelli
Penn State quarterback Anthony Morelli has received death threats via e-mail, for infractions way less severe than going to the Barbaro message board and wishing out loud that the horse would die. No, some jack-ass Penn State fans want him dead because he's only thrown for 2,227 yards and 10 touchdo...
Woody Paige Fingers Terry Glenn
If you were watching Around the Horn yesterday (just kidding, I know you weren't), you might have seen Woody Paige reveal the locker-room snitch that Terrell Owens told Michael Irvin all about. Owens said in the ESPN interview that someone inside the Dallas organization made it a point to tell the...
Today In The Premiership...
• Arsenal 2-2 Portsmouth. Arsenal was able to claw out a point, despite facing a 2-0 deficit in the second half. Emmanuel Adebayor and Gilberto Silva scored just two minutes apart for the Gunners after Matt Taylor gave Portsmouth a 2-0 lead just after the break. Despite being just one point apart ...
Congratulations, Suzy Kolber Kissers
The voting has concluded at the 2006 Weblog Awards, and your winner is will be... Kissing Suzy Kolber, a site that's been mentioned here on Deadspin once or twice. The results haven't been made final or official, and they won't be until Monday. I guess they want some extra time to check for ballot...
Columnist Pays Quincy Carter's Bail
You've probably heard by now about former Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter's arrest yesterday. Carter was charged with possession of marijuana after police showed up for a complaint about a domestic disturbance....

About Last Night...
• NHL: Penguins 7, Islanders 4. Sidney Crosby and Mark Recchi both had a goal and three assists, Ryan Malone had a had trick, and Crosby's the only name mentioned in the headline. Someone should kick his ass. • College Basketball: Oregon 100, Eastern Washington 74. Every Oregon starter finished in d...
Tank Johnson's Bodyguard Killed
Willie B. Posey was pronounced dead after being shot in the back during a fight outside a Chicago nightclub last night. Police wouldn't immediately confirm if it was the same Willie B. Posey who was arrested at Tank Johnson's house during a raid on Thursday, but Tank Johnson was seen leaving the hos...
Sunday Night Football: Exploring The Parcells/Payton Relationship
Congratulations to NBC for managing to find two worthwhile teams in the NFC... they might be the only two. The 8-4 Saints travel to Dallas to take on the 8-4 Cowboys tonight, and there are storylines aplenty....
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #4
• Denver's not going to win, but Jay Cutler doesn't suck anymore. Whatever adjustments the Broncos made at halftime worked... not to the point of getting a win, of course, but Jay Cutler was much better after the break. That's the sort of thing that you like to hear if your team is 3-9, and looking ...
To Watch Tonight...
• NFL. New Orleans Saints @ Dallas Cowboys. As far as the people of Dallas are concerned, Tony Romo is a Saint. 8:15, NBC. • College Basketball: LSU vs. Texas. Kevin Durant and Big Baby Davis... this will do just fine, thank you. 8:00, ESPN. • Movie. White Men Can't Jump. Why don't we take all these...
Everyone's Got A Hater
As I read this Slate.com piece about John Wooden, it occured to me that I had heard a bad word spoken, or read a bad word written about the man. Tommy Craggs at Slate.com would like to be the first....
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #3
• It's 17-13, Cardinals, and I don't know if it's worth it for either of these teams to try to run the ball again. Shaun Alexander's carried 9 times for 26 yards, and Edgerrin James 11 times for 34 yards... this one might resemble Arena Football in the second half. Both Leinart and Hasselbeck have t...
Will Ferrell Is Making A Movie About The ABA
I ran across this yesterday and thought it was the sort of thing about which you'd like to be made aware: Will Ferrell and Andre Benjamin of OutKast are making a movie entited "Semi-Pro" about an ABA Basketball team. Sold. That's all I need. To be honest, I was sold after "Will Ferrell," but I tho...

• Remember the Haka? I bet you didn't think BYU would be the team adopting it. [YouTube] • A friendly reminder to Bears head coach Lovie Smith has Rex Grossman sucks. [Foul Balls] • Bobby Valentine has a blog. It is very strange and Japanese. [Bobby's Way] • Evil bastard John Elway threatens the ver...
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #2
• I don't think teams that have realistic hopes of winning the Super Bowl have a lot of days where they allow multiple 100+ yard rushers. David Garrard is 8-of-14... and the Jags are still beating up the Colts. Maurice Jones Drew has 166 yards and 2 TDs, while Fred Taylor has 131 and 1 TD. Even a fe...
I'm Sorry, Goalie, But You Are Screwed
I missed this during yesterday's Premiership coverage, which necessitates doubling up on the amount of soccer posts this weekend. Many of you, I'm sure, hate this. And I'm sorry. But Portsmouth's Matt Taylor did something yesterday that is not normal, and I don't think we should ignore it....
NFL Week Thirteen, Update #1
• Artose Pinner is the best player in the NFL today. With Chester Taylor out with a rib problem, Pinner's stepped in and racked up 98 yards and 2 touchdowns. Brad Johnson also has a rushing touchdown, which isn't something I thought was in the Bad Johnson repertoire. He's also 10-of-15 for 124 yards...
News About The Bengals That Doesn't Involve Handcuffs
Yesterday started with some bad (though, really, kind of standard) Bengals news, so let's drop in some good Bengals news today. David Pollack, the rookie linebacker who fractured a vertebra during a September game for the Bengals, had his stabilizing halo removed this week....
