Sick Is A Nice Way Of Saying What We Are
As we continue to try to foster our uneasy peace with the kids at the Barbaro Message Board, we, as a public service, bring you today's great Angry Barbaro Message Boarder Email Of The Day....

Perhaps An 'Ali Brush And Floss' Would Be More Accurate
If Muhammad Ali's being looked at as some kind of grandfather of rap now, this is going to put a major dent in his street cred. There are probably a lot of artists out there who look back at their early albums and wish they could do a few things over, but at least none of them did this: The Adven...
Week In Deadspin: The Ballad Of Ron Herpes
• Calling himself "Ron Herpes" probably would have defeated the point. • David Hirshey takes on Bill Simmons. (Kind of.) • ESPN is down with independent films. One might almost call them underground! • Tony LaRussa is ACTING! • You know what's awesome? The BCS! • Ali Rap is bullocks. • USC just ha...
Do We Laugh Now, Or Wait Until It Gets Funny?
We picked you for the job, not because we think you're so damn smart, but because we thought you were a shade less dumb than the rest of the outfit. Guess we were wrong. You're not smarter, Walter. You're just a little taller....
Why You Shouldn't Buy This Ali Rap Nonsense
The big event on ESPN this weekend is "Ali Rap," a documentary hosted by Chuck D that posits the theory that Muhammad Ali was the originator of what we think of today as "hip-hop." (That's the other half of the music they did on the "Judgment Night" soundtrack, if you're confused, rockers.) It's a f...
Jeff Garcia Cannot Be Destroyed By A Mortal Man
From our experience, when Jeff Garcia is making this motion, and he's about to chuck it long and downfield, something bad is about to happen. We mean, it's Jeff Garcia! The last few years, his main purpose has been to be the target of Terrell Owens' sublimated man-on-man urges....
Amazingly, This Is Actually An Important NFC Game
As insane as it might be to contemplate, the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that seemingly hasn't won in months, a team that is legitimately trying to figure out if they're going to start Jeff Garcia or A.J. Feeley, a team that its fans can't even muster up enough enthusiasm to hate properly ... this t...
Perhaps She Has Chosen The Wrong Collegiate Extracurricular Activity
The M Zone takes a moment away from screaming at the heavens and cursing Allah to bring us this video, from the USC-UCLA game Saturday — way to step up, Trojans, by the way — and the famous Unable To Figure Out When Is, In Fact, The Correct Time To Cheer cheerleader. She has a tendency to strike dur...
SI's Sportsman Of The Year Is Not A Llama Doctor
Dwyane Wade is your 2006 SI Sportsman of the Year. At least that's the word coming from Roy S. Johnson's blog (via Bethlehem Shoals at the NBA FanHouse). Sorry to ruin the surprise for you. Guess your Monday is screwed now....
Week In Deadspin: Remember That Romo Is Mexican
• Freddie Mitchell, substitute teacher. Really. • Vote For Rory! • Michael Irvin "apologizes." • The only league left for Justin Gatlin. • Dallas Clark rules all. • Bill Romanowski has some health tips for you. • Scoop Jackson vs. the blogs. • Jimmy Kimmel for new MNF broadcaster. • Melissa Rivers a...
No, YOU'RE Don Francisco's Sister!
Isn't all mankind ultimately executed for a crime it never committed? The difference is that all men go eventually, but we go at six o'clock tomorrow morning. We were supposed to go at five o'clock, but we have a smart lawyer. Got leniency....
'Dallas Clark Is Awesome. Seriously. (Please Don't Hurt Us)'
The folks over at Rooster Teeth.com are small-boned, practical folk. So when they angered large, muscular Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark recently with a rather unflattering portrayal of him on a video game commercial, they quickly scrambled to make amends. They drafted a letter of apology...
Sometimes, We Just Learn A Bit Too Much
We know, we're soulless ironists, not connected to the problems of the everyday world, except to mock them. We accept your scorn, and we probably deserve it....
Welcome To Deadspin Widescreen
As some of you might have noticed, the design looks a wee bit different around here today; we're doing some tweaking, some minor "redesigning," if you will, and we think it looks quite nice....
In Case You Were Wondering What Freddie Mitchell Has Been Up To Lately
We never tire of making fun of the various post-"retirement" exploits of former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Freddie Mitchell, but a reader from Indiana tops them all with a story (and picture) he sent in over the weekend. Here's the tale:...
Tracy McGrady Is More Stylish Than His Friends
We'd like to thank We Are The Postmen for directing us in the general direction of this set of pictures from Rockets star Tracy McGrady's wedding, which took place in Las Cabos, Mexico. McGrady, when not shirtless in the pictures, looks pretty sharp, but it's his wife Clarinda who steals the show, a...
Sunday Night Football: Colts vs. Eagles
Flex scheduling was supposed to prevent things like this. NFL rules now allow NBC to select their Sunday night games a couple of weeks in advance to avoid late season matchups like Tennessee vs. Minnesota or something. And even with the new policy, we still end up with Jeff Garcia in prime time. But...
Week In Deadspin: See Ya, Larry
• Tony Banks' wife likes to keep him happy. • Gilbert Arenas is a damned genius. • Look out Bobby Bowden: Here comes the eBay! • The Cubs, they spent a lot of money. • Warren Sapp ... poisoned! • David Wright and Jose Reyes, LOOKING HOT! • Bill Simmons made a fantasy basketball trade with Dean Cai...
We're Easy
Y'all take it easy now. This isn't Dallas, it's Nashville! They can't do this to us here in Nashville! Let's show them what we're made of. Come on everybody, sing! Somebody, sing!...
