Drink In The New Yankee Stadium
If you haven't seen pictures of the new Yankee Stadium yet, the one that's coming next year, you really need to check out Curbed's photo gallery. It actually looks like a place one might actually want to watch a ballgame....
Do LA Teams Have The Refs Hypnotized?
Another look at the last play of that UCLA-Texas A&M game that you may not have seen. I know that the rule of thumb among college basketball officials is that if a shooter is hit with two or fewer arrows during the last 30 seconds of play, then you should "let the players decide the game." Now, if ...
Duke Takes One Last Flop For The Road
Watch as Duke's Gerald Henderson runs over to clobber the Mountaineers' Cam Thoroughman from behind. Thoroughman (6-foot-7, 215) doesn't take to that too well, and ... whoa! Did you see that, ref? Air shove!...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while the Red Sox-A's game goes into extra innings ... • NBA: Now everyone will be naming their babies Chauncey. Even the girls. Pistons 110, Suns 105. • MLB: Athletics lead Red Sox 2-0 in Japan, where this afternoon already happened last night. • College basketball: Tulsa beats Utah...
Amazingly, No Perfect Brackets, On Earth
Well, we're sorry to say, for all those who have become tired of our ramblings over here, that we will remain editor of Deadspin; with just one weekend gone in the tournament, none of the 3,472 entries in our bracket contest has nailed every game. Alas; our offer will stand for next year as well....
All Hail Davidson, Our Link To Why This Is Fun
If Florida hadn't have won the NCAA Title again last year, it would be safe to say that it would be difficult to remember who was the 2006 NCAA Champion. That's because 2006 was the year of George Mason, and the Final Four itself — which, you may recall, was lousy that year — was just a sidebar to ...
Broad Street Bullies, Bunnies And Booze
Since tedious analysis is the stuff of "power rankings," each Monday NHL Closer writer Greg Wyshynski uses a form of universal expression: Success in terms of beer. Before we get to an endorsement in the Hottest Ice Girls election, welcome to The Brewmeister Ratings......
Your Super Sweet 16
Once again the highly debated field of 64 has been whittled down to 16 and we can all throw out our Georgetown/Duke heavy brackets and get to work on that Sweet 16 pool. Most of the favorites are still standing but two 12 sees, Villanova and Western Kentucky, are still alive. However, they both face...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while wondering where your dad went with that meat... • NBA: Detroit Pistons at Washington Wizards. And sadly, I won't be attending. [ESPN] • WCBB: Women's Tournament Whip-around coverage. [ESPN2] • Movie: Futurama: Bender's Big Score. [Comedy Central]...
Curry Is the Son of Sons
Stephen Curry is a cold-blooded assassin. He's like Leon in The Professional. You're not sure about him in the early goings but he wins you over in some crucial moments. Eventually you begin to love him although you know he's destined to die in the end. Anyways... Curry's 30 points (70 in two games...
The Sons Also Rise
Another day, and another day of great basketball lies waiting. Villanova has moved on to the Sweet 16 by way of an 84-72 win against Siena. There are now four games underway, so continue after the jump for your live update needs. I'm watching Georgetown/Davidson, but I've also been keeping track of ...
Night Game Live Blog
All these games are overlapping and I can hardly keep up. Marquette and Stanford have already reached halftime which should give the Cardinal players a chance to catch up with their ejected coach. Marquette leads 36-30 with Brook Lopez scoring just two points and making everybody vaguely uncomforta...
That's a Shame!
West Virginia has felled the beast that everyone loves to hate. Let's all just take a moment to reflect on this special moment... ... fuckin' Huggins....

Stuff White People LOVE: Duke vs. West Virginia Live Blog
The first two days of March Madness are amazingly fun in a crazy kind of way, but the best basketball is still to come. This weekend's second round games have just gotten underway with Duke taking on West Virginia just down the road from me at the Verizon Center in Chinatown. If I had some kind of ...
Steven Hill Is Looking Awesome
Many thanks to Sports Hernia for passing along these HD stills of Arkansas's seductive Steven Hill. I guess it's worth noting that Hill's Razorbacks sent Indiana back to Hoosierville 86-72 led by Sonny Weems' 31 point outburst....
Shaking Up the Eastern Conference
Last night the Magic bounced back from a loss to the Wizards to best the 76ers in a game that featured 22 different scorers. Although nobody on either team notched more than 18 points each team received scoring contributions from 11players with eight of Orlando's 11 scoring in double figures. Rasha...
A Rather Shining Moment In The First Round
• Eliot Spitzer and David Hirshey, soccer pals. • Our new "pal," Bob Costas. • Apparently, some folks aren't happy with ESPN. • Kige Ramsey, charity hero. (Oh, and no bids yet.) • Mark Cuban remains the only blogger allowed in the Mavs' locker room. • Hey, the brackets came out. • We had a few game...
Obama Vs. McCain: The Only Way To Decide
Barack Obama's NCAA Tournament office pool brackets vs. John McCain's: It's a battle for the ages, the likes of which America hasn't seen since the great Lincoln-Douglas baseball rotissierie league showdown of 1859. Who will prevail? The race for the White House — and the fate of the nation — may ha...
