New New New World Order ...
Just got done watching the NC State/ Carolina game, and State is so overkill with the Wolfpack thing it's ridiculous. If they don't incorporate Kevin Nash, Sting, Scott Steiner, Randy Savage, and Lex Luger into a pre-game entrance it'll be a shame. — pics1169...

Once Upon A Time In A Buffalo Wild Wings
So I go to Buffalo Wild Wings with a couple buddies to watch our Spartans beat Purdue and some Iowa bitch starts giving us some static about changing the channel. Fuck you, Iowa bitch, I said. — kycdxx (Ed. Hahahaha...)...
Play Sports, Drink Beer
If a serial killer broke into my apartment while I was sleeping in the nude, and I only had enough time to either throw on pair of jeans OR put on some running shoes, I would pick the running shoes every time. Yup. I feel much more vulnerable barefoot than when I'm actually naked. Shoes give me powe...
What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted
I'm busy watching "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" on IFC. For those of you in the dark, it's a kick-ass 2002 documentary about the Funk Brothers, an unheralded group of Detroit musicians who are basically the greatest hit machine in the history of popular music. It's fantastic. But, hey, let's p...
October Was Not Kind To The Bay Area
It's been a rough couple of weeks for sports fans in the ol' Bay Area. The Warriors look to have lost last year's sexy playoff mojo; the 49ers are struggling to even notch a 100 yards per game; and the Raiders keep finding (fairly impressive) ways to giveaway football games....

Happy Time in Hockeytown
Yes, The Basketball Jones podcast often tells hockey to "go to hell." Guilty. But let's make one thing very clear — I don't blog on these here Internets for the money or the fame or the chance to add "Deadspin, Weekend Editor" to my Gmail signature (which is awesome, by the way). I write for the peo...
Yao Vs. Yi, Act One
• Where China Happens. 200 million-plus people just watched an early November basketball game between the Houston Rockets and Milwaukee Bucks. Hilarious. Yao and Yi each had their share of highlights in their much-anticipated Chinese Balla Battle, but in the end it was it was Yao and his Rockets ove...
About Last Night
What you missed while analyzing gRAPhs ... • NBA: Yao's Rockets beat Yi's Bucks. China politely applauds. • NHL: I hope the Discovery Channel caught this: Ducks defeat Sharks in shootout. • College Football: Rutgers Ray Rice rushes for rool-record. Hey, alliteration!...
Take Me Up To The Mile-High City
Now that was a solid sports weekend! Two playoff baseball games went to extra innings; Kentucky and Oregon State upset the top two teams in the nation; Midnight Madness kicked off; we've got the Pats and the 'Boys duking it out; there was probably a NASCAR crash in there somewhere ... action packed,...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while you carve an extreme pumpkin ... • MLB: National League Championship Series, Game 3, Arizona at Colorado. Tisk, tisk, tisk ... looks like rain. [TBS] • NFL: Sunday Night Football, New Orleans at Seattle. Can we pretend that the Saints' Super Bowl aspirations are still alive? [NBC...
Are You Ready For Even More Football?
Big Bad Schaub's getting killed by the Jags, Purple Jesus is running on water, the Rams lost to the Ravens AND the Eagles, Derek Anderson is throwing multiple touchdowns again, Tony Gonzalez passed Shannon Sharpe's career TE TD-record, Matt Bryant's 43-yard field goal wins it for the Bucs, and Jason...
