Congratulations to our four finalists in the 2008 Sportshuman of the Year tournament. They've all earned it, in their own way....

SHOTY Elite Eight: Buzz Bissinger Vs. Mark Cuban
It's the battle of people who have yelled at me in public. Woo-hoo! It's just like hanging out with my dad when I was a teenager. Why wasn't my dad nominated?...

SHOTY Elite Eight: Chris Cooley Vs. Erin Andrews
To be honest, I'm a little surprised by this matchup: Caitlin Davis seemed to have solid upset potential, and Erin Andrews ... well, I guess you can't underestimate the power of the sideboob....

SHOTY Elite Eight: Chris Berman Vs. Baby Mangino
Welcome, everybody, to Elite Eight Week! If we had a cool corporate sponsor who flashed repetitive commercials in between every one of these posts, you'd be hearing that phrase a TON this week. Maybe we could have a late coach give an inspired speech between halves. Alas....

SHOTY Elite Eight: Roger Clemens Vs. Isiah Thomas
All right, all the votes have been tallied, and we have our final eight....

Anarchy At The UCLA Undie Run As Girls Seen Kissing Other Girls
When our money is worthless and society completely breaks down, I'm certain it will look a lot like the UCLA Undie Run. It happened last night, and this time there's video. Following the jump....

A Deadspin Video Mash-Up To Commemorate The Year in Sports Buffoonery
It's going to get hectic for everybody in the upcoming weeks with the holidays and all that, so today seems like as good a time as any to roll this out: It's a one minute compilation of some of the most popular videos featured on Deadspin in 2008. This was lovingly put together by Gawker's new video...

SHOTY First Round: Chris Cooley Vs. Caitlin Davis
Just two more first-round matchups until we reach the Elite Eight. We haven't had any truly close matchups yet, though it's early. Today, it's Hot Pants/ Naked Playbook Guy Vs. Hot Pants / Goofy Facebook Lady....

College Football Preview: Why Conference Championships Suck Edition
Of all the ridiculous aspects of the BCS system, the conference championship game pisses me off more than any other because it points out the flagrant hypocrisy of the college presidents. In the same time period when they've fought a college football playoff because of the time it would add to the ...

SHOTY First Round: Buzz Bissinger Vs. Mike Singletary
Fridays are always good days for mismatches. Most of you have probably skipped out to do holiday shopping anyway — do they still sell the Tickle Me Elmo? — so it makes voting anomalies less likely....

SHOTY First Round: Chris Berman Vs. Kevin Hart
It might seem odd to some of you that Chris Berman would have such a high seed this year. Wasn't his heyday around 2006, YWML time? Well, I would retort that you've had too much of the deux deux deux....

Even though his formal meeting with Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbick isn't scheduled until December 8, the leaked reports coming out of South Bend say that head coach Charlie Weis will miraculously return for 2009. Weis, 28-21 in his four years at Notre Dame, ended the 2008 season in predi...
