If You Can Read This, We're Working.
Your eyes are not fooling you; for some strange reason this morning, the headlines on all of our stories are not showing up. We're writing them, we're posting them, they're just not making it to the site. We assure you, however, they are absolutely brilliant....
Last Call For Athlete Run-In Stories
We'll be picking our winners in our athlete run-in stories contest, where the best athlete run-in stories win a free copy of The Education Of A Coach, the new David Halberstam about Patriots coach Bill Belichick....
NFL Roundup: Down Goes Tice!
• What's funnier than Mike Tice being rolled over and knocked down on the sideline? Nothing, that's what. By the way, we find Tice's dopey sideline celebrations undignified, and Tom Coughlin's constant gyrations of fury incredibly amusing. • Samkon Gado, baby, Samkano Gado. Two touchdowns, one gr...
Week In Deadspin: Rodman, Cold Pizza And Us
• Lesbian cheerleaders getting it on in a bathroom? What more can we tell you? It, you know, seems like the type of story people might be into. • We went to go check out Dennis Rodman's book signing, and it made us almost as sad as it made his agent jaw-droppingly (and hilariously) furious. We lov...
For The Cardinals Fan Who Has Everything
From online sports memorabilia site Lelands.com comes the perfect gift for anyone who just can't say goodbye to Busch Stadium....
Even Satan Is Saying, "Rosenhaus? Never Met Him."
The Philadelphia Daily News brings up something we pretty much all figured was going to happen: It appears a bunch of Drew Rosenhaus' clients are seriously considering dropping him after his pretty clear botching of the Terrell Owens situation. Rosenhaus signed up most of his clients in the last t...
You Can't Trust Cheerleaders. You CAN'T.
Proving once again that she has no idea how you succeed in this world, Panthers cheerleader Angela Keathley, the black-haired member of the duo, has released a statement to deny there was any sex at all. Despite statements from those who were waiting in line for them — and statements from everyone...
Orioles Clubhouse Apparently Like Caligula
The Baltimore Sun has gotten a hold of the 40-page Congressional report on Rafael Palmeiro, and it's full of all kinds of goodness....
We Apologize In Advance ... But MORE CHEERLEADERS!
We know we implied yesterday that we were just about done with this whole Carolina cheerleader thing, but, you see, we just ... can't ... tear ourselves ... away. We suspect you understand....
Vote T.O.!
The pictured advertisement is what's currently front and center on TerrellOwens.com, the official Web site of everybody's favorite apologizer....
Palmeiro Pretends To Come Clean
For anybody who missed it yesterday, Orioles designated hitter Rafael Palmeiro finally made a public statement about steroids yesterday, and, as you'd certainly expect, it was unsatisifying. Basically, Palmeiro said he never intentionally took steroids but that he might have accidentally got some ...
Wrapping Up The Lesbian Cheerleaders Story
We've reached the saturation point, we think, on the Carolina Panthers cheerleader story, but, frankly, we don't care, and we suspect you don't either. Here's an update on what we've all got, to close this out. Smile wide:...
Tell Us Your Best Athlete Run-Ins, And Win A Book!
Hey, look, it's the first-ever Deadspin contest. The fine folks at Hyperion Books just shipped a big stack of copies of David Halberstam's new book The Education Of A Coach to Deadspin World Headquarters, and we're here to give them away. We've read the book and think it's really good, actually, eve...
Become A Deadspin Commenter!
Thanks to those great Panthers cheerleaders and, of course, GENERAL EXCELLENCE, we've had a few new people roaming around these parts of late. Welcome. We love you. Let's hug....
Rosenhaus Sets T.O.'s Career Ablaze
One pretty amazing press conference involving Terrell Owens this afternoon. Owens came out and made a seemingly sincere statement, apologizing to his fans, the Eagles, Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, the owners, pretty much everybody but Jeff Garcia. We were watching it thinking, "Man, he actually see...
Panthers Cheerleader Story Remains Hot Hot
Well, we're on day two of the Carolina Panthers cheerleaders story, and, frankly, we're not seeing much letup in the demand for more news news news! And we're with you. Today's big scoop (and big "ups," as the kids say) goes to the fine lads at YAYSports! who have brand-new EXCLUSIVE! photos culle...
Ugie's "Friday The 13th" Moment
We have to say, as far as free agents jockeying for leverage go, we're getting some excellent case studies in how not to handle one's self. Matt Lawton proved the "getting tested positive for steroids" theory of bargaining doesn't work, and now Ugueth Urbina is mastering the "being arrested for at...
Meet The New Packers Running Back
The Packers might be down to to their fifth-string running back, but that's hardly a bad thing. In fact, new fantasy obsessive pickup Samkon Gado is one of our new favorite players, because we've come across MySpace profile, and, all told, we think the guy sounds kind of cool....
Is Peyton Ready For His Closeup?
Well, we've finally rid ourselves of that long-running subplot; the Colts have finally beat the Patriots, in a sadly dull Monday nighter. (Honestly, nobody shows less joy than Peyton Manning after a victory; it's like interviewing a hickish, slightly fey math teacher after he gives a test.) Indian...
Manning Vs. Brady, Monday Night Football. That'll Work.
Tonight's the game that's so huge that Sports Illustrated actually resisted the temptation to put Terrell Owens on the cover for it: Colts at Patriots, Manning vs. Brady, stats vs. results, dogs vs. cats, gay vs. straight, you name it....
