tuffy-old Page 3 - Sports News, Headlines & Highlights
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune has an article about hunters butchering their own killed deer in the Sunday Star-Tribune. On the Web site, there's an instructional video. We're pretty sure StarTribune.com could kick the snot out of Deadspin any time it wanted. And then gut it with a filleting knife. [S...
Utah Jazz's Family Ticket Pack Packs More Family
Many NBA teams have a four-pack family plan on quieter nights, perhaps against less popular opponents. You know, tickets, hot dogs, maybe Cokes... the usual. By our quick count, over a third of the league brandishes such a package. (Here's a hint: if your team was already selling out games despite b...
Brian Piccolo Would Have Brought World Peace by 1994
In a story ostensibly about Lee Corso's shyness about being the recruiter to bring the first black athlete into the ACC back in '63 (and, yes, you should take a few moments to consider that) and chock full o'quotes from Corso deflecting credit, we are reminded yet again that Brian Piccolo (of "Brian...

The Best Defense Is Actually Defensive in Nature
The fine, upstanding Deadspin reader that provided this photo also added a caption: "I will have to call BS though... these women live in OREGON." How could he forget the Portland Rose Garden? Why, Oregon might well be synonymous with roses! That is, if UCLA can now beat USC because Oregon State cou...
Wherein We Probe the Phelps Phenomenon on DUAN
So Michael Phelps has chosen the Vegas nightclub worker and oft-naked Caroline Pal (the one on the right) to take home to mother after two months of dating. (The link will take you to proof of the oft-naked part if nothing else.) We don't have to imagine Mom's surprise face; we saw it eight times or...

Familiarity Inbreeds Contempt During "Die in a Fire" Week
Normally, we Americans prefer to avoid conflict and band together to take on our common enemies. We avoid the petty infighting and divisive subjects that can tear apart people. In that way, we're an awful lot like the Marvel Family. When the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man rear their ugly heads, we shou...
