ESPN Fills Badly Needed Smart-Alecky Middle-Aged White Guy Quota
A couple days ago, Boss casually wondered how Rick Reilly would handle working alongside Dan Patrick at Sports Illustrated. I suppose taking his old job is the logical reaction....
How Pam Ward Can Get You Hammered
Not to slurp all over my cable provider, but Buckeye Cable is cool enough to not only provide the Big Ten Network, they actually air TWO games at once. So that's why I'm watching Minnesota-North Dakota State. It's tied 14-14, and apart from the sadness surrounding the fact that these two teams are o...
George Brett's Eyes Are Up Here

For My Next Bet, I'll Need A Volunteer From The SEC
You've got a half hour left to put down money on amateur athletes. You're desperate. I mean, REALLY desperate. You turn to Deadspin for three shoe-in victories. You'll probably only cash in on one of them, but it's that one game in which you'll be forever indebted to me....

ALDS Game 2 Live Blog: Indians Vs. Yankees
Kind of a big game tonight for the Yanks; will it all destruct? It's Fausto Carmona for the Indians and Andy Pettitte for the Yankees. And your live blogger once again is the great Matt Sussman, who did an awfully bangup job yesterday. Enjoy his comedic stylings after the jump....
ALDS Game 1 Live Blog: Indians Vs. Yankees
The Phillies-Rockies series is half (or more) over, and the Yankees still haven't played. If they hadn't lost their spot as MLB's Prime Time Team to the Red Sox, we'd be waiting even longer. But here they are, facing an Indians team that's been underrated all season. It's C.C. Sabathia for the Indi...
Matt Leinart Is Watching One Exciting Game
Steelers 7, Cardinals 7 — Coach Ken Whisenhunt, sure enough, found a time to use Kurt Warner in the game, which happened to be the fourth drive of the game, and he's been in ever since. His touchdown to Jeremy Urban tied the game. Now, if Warner is the best quarterback to run the 2-minute-drill, no-...

Phillies Just Sank Mets' Jengajam
As most of you have already seen, Tom Glavine's outing today didn't last too long — maybe he was double parked? — as the Florida Marlins lit up Mr. 300 with seven runs in the first inning en-route to an 8-1 win. With that, they needed Philadelphia to lose and force a tie. They've been counting on Ph...
But Trent Edwards Holds No Touchdown Records
Bills 17, Jets 14 — The J.P. Losman era in Buffalo might go the way of William Henry Harrison after Trent Edwards' surprising 22-for-28, 234-yard performance. Jets fans are dismayed that their team lost, but encouraged that it was Chad Pennington's fault, since his last-ditch effort at the end the g...

An Unauthorized Bio About Brett Favre? Clifford Irving Is Intrigued
So, there's this rumor that The Big Lead caught wind of, which is rather vague, but essentially there are some writers out there trying to land a publishing deal for an unauthorized Brett Favre biography, featuring his drug addiction and extra-marital affairs....
