Cue The Sun!
We've become bored with watching actors give us phony emotions. We are tired of pyrotechnics and special effects. While the world he inhabits is, in some respects, counterfeit, there's nothing fake about Truman himself. No scripts, no cue cards. It isn't always Shakespeare, but it's genuine. It's a ...
Throwing An Intern To The Wolves
We've never done this before — to start this off like a Penthouse Letter — but we are here to put out an open call for an intern. This is not because we need someone to fetch us our slippers or to ejaculate as a result of oral stimulation, though, all told, neither of those are necessarily horrible ...
Pointing Out The Idiocy Of A New Rule
A truly outstanding find from The Wizard Of Odds: Apparently, during the Joe Paterno broken leg game between Penn State and Wisconsin — JoePa's return has been pretty amazing, by the way; the guy's coaching this week — Badgers coach Bret Bielema either discovered a loophole in the controversial new ...
Bo Schembechler Gets Meta On Us
We've told you repeatedly about the Dead Schembechlers, the Ohio State fan punk band that features thrash ditties like "Bomb Ann Arbor Now" and "Chad Henne is A Motherfucking Joke." (Their official site is right here, though someone should probably mention that no one does splash pages anymore.)...
Sometimes, The Gatorade Bottle Is Just Too Far Away
We're posting this just to be obnoxious, and we will not pretend otherwise: During Nebraska's 34-20 victory over Missouri, Tigers quarterback Chase Daniel discovers a way to replenish proteins burned through on the field of battle....
Another "Outstanding" Regular Season Manning Triumph
There is a temptation to point out that if Peyton Manning had thrown four interceptions at home on national television against his biggest rival, he would have been vilified by anyone with a keyboard yet again for being a choker; because it was Tom Brady who did it, it was just an "off night" for ...
Cut. That. Meat.
Well, the time has finally come. It's almost time for the Colts and Patriots to kick off, and thus, for Peyton Manning to engage in a no-win situation. If he loses, he's still firmly entrenched in the role of Tom Brady's lawnboy. If he wins, it's a meaningless regular season game that won't even be ...
Week In Deadspin: World Series Hangover
• Hey, the Cardinals won the World Series. And, amazingly, we were there. • Ben Roethlisberger is wisely keeping his distance from the motorcycles. • Whoa. The Knicks won. • Harold Reynolds is coming, ESPN, he's COMING! So be ready. We went in depth on his suit. • GARRRRRRRRR! • Eagles fans are havi...
Time For Manning-Brady ... Uh ... What Number Are We On Now?
You might have heard: The Colts play the Patriots this weekend, which means it's time for more Brady vs. Manning stories. We think everyone's issues with Peyton Manning are nicely summed up by Kissing Suzy Kolber:...
We Haven't Had A Drink In A Lotta Years, But Now We're Gonna Have Us A Cold Beer
There's no one knows your life better than a brother that's near your age. He knows who you are and what you are better than anyone on earth. My brother and we said some unforgivable things the last time we met, but we're trying to put that behind us, and this trip is a hard swallow of our pride. We...
Nothing Like Permanent Markings Of Architecture
During our travels around Busch Stadium last week, we are sad to say we didn't come across these two toolboxes, who have tattos of old Busch Stadium and new Busch Stadium, respectively, on each of their backs. (You can see a close-up version of the tattooes at the link, if you dare.)...
It's Morning In America!
So, hey, good morning, everybody. What'd we miss?...
Message From the Guest Editor: Checking Out
So last night I psyched myself up for this task and came up with a little arc about how the day was gonna go: We'd start off as enemies, you mocking me relentlessly, me crying into my seventeen iced coffees as I frantically tried to provide content for two sites at once. But surely, I thought, as th...
Free Darko Previews: Dwyane Wade
As established, we're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama storylines and sturm und drang and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tal...
Flyers Spectators Almost As Comical As Team Itself
As we mentioned at the top, we're Flyers fans. It's a classy organization* with a rich history and a sense of pride in its traditions. Then, you know, there's this:...
Joe Torre Immediately Bought George Tickets to "A Chorus Line"
Pauper Players' Sunday afternoon performance of "Cabaret" was cut short when Department of Public Safety officials responded to a call that a man was suffering from chest pains, DPS spokesman Randy Young said. ...
Message From the Guest Editor: Checking In
Okay, listen up, douchebags: I don't like you and you don't like me. But thanks to some of the sloppiest play we've seen in World Series baseball since the Marlins beat the Indians we're stuck with each other for the next twelve posts. My name is Balk, and I'm an editor over there at Gawker, a site ...
We're Freaking McNuts, Man, And We McLove It
You know ... it's possible that Eagles fans are becoming rather upset with their team's play of late....
Deadspin Field Trip: Cardinals Win The World Series
As we might have mentioned once or twice, we were at Busch Stadium to watch our beloved St. Louis Cardinals win their 10th World Series on Friday night. It is obviously a rare and lovely thing for anyone to have the opportunity to watch their team clinch a championship, and we were blessed by the ...
Week In Deadspin: And Now ... To The Cobalt!
• Great job, guys! Have a (small) diet beverage! • Lynn Swann, beer ponger. • It's nice to have Free Darko around here, isn't it? • We like us some Chris Carpenter. • This is the only guy to ever take steroids in the NFL. • And extremely difficult night to be a Tigers fan. • Oh, so this is why peopl...
