Playoff Pants Party: Saints Vs. Eagles
This might be the oddest matchup of the divisional round: The Saints are a team that no one is quite sure whether or not is a leading contender or just a team that would occasionally get hot at the right time. And the Eagles ... jeez, Jeff Garcia, we mean, in the words of GOB, come on! It's somewhat...

End It Like Beckham
Despite our lack of Spice Girls and refusal to call anything "the loo," soccer bon vivant and World Cup slacker David Beckham has rejected Real Madrid's contract offer and is headed to our shores. Didn't we fight a war to prevent this kind of thing?...

Harrick Always Could Recruit
We knew something like this would happen eventually. Jim Harrick, coach of the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Development League, has a player who is making $2.06 million per season. Two mil, in the D League. Where the previous top salary was $24,000. Leave it to freakin' Harrick....

Paypal Doesn't Want Slain Soldiers' Families To Receive Aid
In recent weeks, we've been asked for an update concerning The Adam Knox Fund, the fund we founded to send money to the family and platoon of the late Adam Knox, brother of Deadspin reader Thomas Knox (and one of the men behind this famous photo). Well, here it is ... and it's not good. One of the f...

Scott Weiland Gets His Lee Corso On
If you're not up on your aging "psychedelic" hair metal band sports trivia, former Stone Temple Pilots and current Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland is an inexplicable fan of Notre Dame football.

Wooo!!!!!!! Roll Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!!!!!!!!!
You might have noticed, when Nick Saban, officially the new Guy Who Is Everything Wrong With Sports (at least until next week, when we've forgotten about all this business), arrived in Alabama, an enthusiastic fan fought through the crowd and planted one right on the guy. (Saban, ever cool, took the...

Now They Just Need Marky Mark To Play Linebacker
As Garcia Mania continues to sweep the greater Philadelphia area — if just because "Westbrook Mania" doesn't have the same indelible linguistic flow — we point out to you the spoils of quarterbacking an NFL team that is the company in a company town: Incredibly awkward local television commercials! ...

Giants vs. Eagles, 4th Quarter
- 3rd and 2 for the Giants from the Eagles 6, and Eli Manning just can't make anything happen. He fails to see a wide open Plax in the back of the endzone, and ends up throwing it away, which, I suppose, is all you could expect from Eli Manning. They settle for the field goal, and it's 20-13 Eagles ...

Giants vs. Eagles, 3rd Quarter
- The Eagles are getting the ball here to start the second half. And if they score here, it would force Eli Manning into a lot of passing situations, which would be fantastic for people who hate Eli Manning....

Giants vs. Eagles, 2nd Quarter
- The Giants are on pace for over 400 yards......

Giants vs. Eagles, 1st Quarter
- Alright, here we go. I'm expecting this Eagles/Giants game to be more eventful and more... disastrous. NFC East games tend to veer towards the absurd. This will not be a quality football game, but it will probably be fun....

Sex Shows With A Playoff Level Of Intensity
Craigslist.org is one of the most essential sites on the web during the NFL Playoffs. I remember last year, a young woman in Pittsburgh was looking for someone to dress up like Ben Roethlisberger and have sex with her. This year, for a couple of Eagles tickets, a couple of young female grad studen...
