Tigers, Tigers, and Tigers: Time To Count The Bodies
LSU, Mizzou, and Auburn were all ranked heading into action yesterday, and all of them lost. The first two were still paving their way toward a national championship while Auburn, who had already lost two games in-conference, was treading water in their own league, having fired their offensive coord...
Two Aces Prove Their Worth
• Rays 9, Red Sox 8 With the two teams' respective aces taking the mound, you just knew it was going to be a swift affair - barely enough time to finish a six-pack - that would be decided by whichever team blinked first and allowed the one and only run to cross the plate. Just kidding. The game las...
Sarah Palin Booed At Flyers Game, Did Not Take Battery To The Face
The GOP's vice presidential nominee was in the hizzy for the Flyers' opener last night. The chorus of boos that began as soon as she was seen were blasted out by some loud music and (some have said) artificial crowd noise. Palin walked onto the ice before the start of the game to help drop the cerem...
ChiCity Deserves Your Vote
Tonight marks the beginning of the final 100 days of the presidency of George W. Bush. Now, there's no reason to turn this DUAN into a political debate - if you're in the 25% that still approve of the job Bush is doing, good for you; you're no flip-flopper - but we should take this as an opportunity...
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Indiana Pacers
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that, unfortunately for them, is still based in Indiana: The Indiana Pacers.When last we saw them: Finished 36-46, third ...
Is Chase Daniel For Real?
I've heard what everyone's been saying about the Heisman Trophy frontrunner with the video-game offense, but I don't know if I buy it. Yeah, they've put up 50 or more points in four of their first five games, but we've seen this before. These high-scoring teams kick the shit out of a handful of crap...

Snip My Child's Foreskin, Please!
So what did we learn today? Other than maybe learning that Mack Brown can win the big games, RichRod can't win the little games, and that taking the points against Utah is wallet suicide, I learned this...and I don't have any clue how to react: Friend of Deadspin and unabashed Tim Tebow superfan Dan...
Zen Driving Taken To The Extreme
When you see a headline like "Belgium Man Breaks Blind Speed World Record" you can't just simply ignore it and go about your business like nothing happened. The Belgium in question, a Mr. Luc Costermans, topped out at 308.78 km/h - or 192 mph in American - while driving his Lamborghini Gallardo at ...
Tampa Bay Rays Still Have A Bit Of Youthful Arrogance
So much for the idea that these young Rays are made up of honest-to-goodness, hardworking, gritty players just happy to be included in the postseason festivities for the first time; they got some swagger in them. The above t-shirt isn't some fly-by-night homemade operation either, it's an MLB-sanct...

Hugh: Toledo's Record Against Michigan Improves To 1-0
The commenters have been discussing this game everywhere since it started. But now that the dust has settled, it's time to count the bodies: Michigan lost to a MAC team for the first time...ever. Michigan kicker K.C. Lopata had a chance to send the game to overtime...and missed. Toledo, who has lost...
Jordan Rule #4,102: Always Be Pimping
This is Michael Jordan. You might remember him from being the Greatest Basketball Player of All Time. And here he is, out on the town, stone cold chillin'. The above photo was taken by horribly despicable paparazzo while His Airness was on a date in South Beach. And, while there's not much going on...
Hugh Recommends An Assortment Of Beverages
Sports, at the end of the day, is about bringing people together. Take me and Rick, for example. I've know Paulas for all of about 36 hours now, but we've really bonded. We're already at the point in the friendship where we can tell each other Holocaust jokes. How great is that? But anyway, Rick pas...
Tommy Bowden Is Not Very Good
Right now Craig James and Doug Flutie are having a little fun comparing Michigan to Toledo. That came on the heels of the Wolverines' surrendering a pick-six to...Toldeo's Tyrrell Herbert? But to break it down, Michigan football is in Year One of installing a whole new program; everything from philo...
Peyton Manning Kind Of Awkward In A Public Setting
Let's all get together and laugh at a famous person acting like a real human being! To be fair, it's not really Peyton's fault. The only thing more awkward than watching someone rock out at a concert is watching a guy's face while he masturbates to Internet porn — the spastic motions, the furrowed ...
Hugh: Musberger Doesn't Trust Your Concept Of 'Interesting'
So Brent Musberger tells me, right after Texas runs back a kickoff for a touchdown, "Pull up a chair, folks. This one's gonna get real interesting." Bear in mind, it's a 1-vs.-5 game, and we just saw a fucking kickoff run back for a touchdown. Do I need a rickety old man alerting me to the gravity o...
