Your Vikings Orgy Memento
The bid is only up to $5.95, and, quite frankly, we find that number unacceptable. Currently on eBay: a commemorative Vikings sex cruise T-shirt, or, as the sellers call it, the "Coochie Cruise '05."...
We All Know A Greg Gall
More info on our main man Greg Gall, who, as established yesterday, has spent an inordinate amount of time drinking with Deadspin readers.

NFL Roundup: A Costly Fumble
• It's pretty astounding that fan guy in Cincinnati was able to run on the field during the Packers' closing drive. First off, they were at midfield, which means he had to run at least 50 yards, probably more, without someone beating him to Brett Favre. (Note: The next time you're in Cincinnati, b...
What Marcellus Wiley Has In Different Area Codes
We could play with the NFL Wives Yahoo Group all day, honestly. It's basically just women emailing the group about certain players they find attractive, to find out whether they're available, whether they sleep around, so on. (Clinton Portis is a fave of the site.)...
The Link Between DeBerry, The Astros And Dubya
Fascinating column on the addictive, compelling site Black Athlete Sports Network comparing the situation involving Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry's comments on black athletes and the Astros' dubious distinction of being the first team since the 1956 Yankees to make the World Series without a sing...
Fisher DeBerry, Racist ... Or Just Evil Devil Spawn?
OK, so we've been watching the video of Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry's comments about African-American players, specifically that ""they run extremely well." First off, DeBerry — who we have a sneaking suspicion would be getting a bit more leeway if his team hadn't lost five games already this s...
Giants Owner Wellington Mara Dies
Longtime Giants owner — and just about the only sports owner we can ever remember professing affection for, if just because he was old and spindly — Wellington Mara has died at the age of 89. Mara was one of the most influential owners in sports history, pioneering the notion of sharing television...
You're Crazy, Man ... You're Crazy
The Wizard Of Odds sends us this photo of some chubby fellow streaking down the sidelines at Saturday's Cal Poly-Montana game....
Could ND's Savior Be Gone After One Year?
The Mighty MJD brings up something we hadn't thought about: Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, the "savior" of college football's most "sainted" program, has a very cheap buyout clause in his contract that would allow him to go to an NFL team for just $1.5 million. That team would have to offer him a ...
Sorry, We Don't Know Any "Mark Mights." Try Again Later
It takes a special kind of coach to be undermined and humilated while sitting at home, and ladies and gentlemen, Mike Martz (of course) is that coach. According to The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Martz tried to call in a play from his house to the Rams coaching booth yesterday, and the Rams brass ref...
Do Not Taunt Lee Corso
Nothing's funnier than when someone all prim and proper freaks out live on the air, so everyone's buzzing today about ESPN college football analyst Lee Corso flipping out on two Dallas radio hombres....
NFL Roundup: Portis' Head
• Contrary to popular belief, Redskins running back Clinton Portis was not doing an impersonation of Yankees center fielder Bernie Williams chasing a fly ball while doing that cartwheel in the end zone yesterday. Good guess, though. • We're not saying that Cincinnati was getting a little too excit...
A View From Inside The Vikings Sex Boat
From the great NFL Wives Club Yahoo Group comes this missive from a woman who was actually on the Vikings sex boat:...
Bored Sports Information Directors Rule
We would have to think that if you're a low-level publicity person in charge of writing dreary press releases about small-school college football teams, you would do anything to escape the endless dreariness of your job. (We can't imagine the folks at Coastal Carolina are constantly battling off a...
Playing College Football's Kevin Bacon Game
We're sure some of you have seen this before, but it's new to us, so we're gonna toss it out there. For all those conversations you've had about who the best team in the country really is — Illinois beat Rutgers beat so and so, all the way up to the Miamis and the real teams — comes The College Fo...
Somebody PLEASE Let Jerry Rice Be Your Fifth Receiver
Now that Jerry Rice is retired from football, he's not going to spend all of his time simply getting "massages": He's now going to be on reality shows. Rice, along with Bo Jackson, Jennie Finch and Karl Malone, will appear on Spike TV's "Pros Vs. Joes" starting in April....
