The Final Jamboroo And The Art Of Being A Sports Fan Without Watching Sports
Big Daddy Drew's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo previews the upcoming weekend of the NFL every, well, every Thursday afternoon. Well, until today, anyway....
We Left Our Heart In Alameda
By the time you actually read this — this is one of those "future" "posted" items — we will be on the road, screaming up the Golden State Freeway (we can't take the scenic route: No time!) to Alameda, for the next stop of the book tour business....
OK, Last Photoshop, We Promise!
Except for the ones below, that is. There's just so many amusing ones out there, that it's hard to stop. And now, for the final word on Super Bowl XLII, we'll hand the mic over to Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, who as you might imagine is quite enthused with the result. In fact, it may be his fin...
Trying To Figure Out That Crazy Shaq-Suns Trade
It's pretty rare, in this sports world we all love, fear and hold dear, to find something that everyone agrees on. Unanimity of opinion is non-existent; we sometimes wonder if you held a poll saying, "Would you like to be punched in the face right now?" the margin would still have at least 0.001 pe...
Time For Us And Pau To Make Our LA Debuts
All right, time for stop two of this whole book tour business: Los Angelenos, get thee to Book Soup. And the night is not over then: After that is when the real fun starts....
Whining About Patriots' Loss Now A Greater Threat Than Global Warming
So this is somewhat amusing. According to Amani Toomer, before the game on Sunday Patriots' players were inviting him to their victory parties. "They were inviting us to their parties after the game," Toomer said. "They showed us no respect." Meanwhile, Tom Brady has dropped out of the Pro Bowl (exp...
Boy, Did You Ever Miss A Barnburner At MSG Last Night
So, if there were ever a day for the Knicks to finally get fed up with Isiah Thomas and end this madness, today would seem like a good one....
Mr. T Pities Fools, Miami Heat
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who is in no way related to Kevin McHale and has taken the necessary legal steps to ensure that it stays that way. When he's not admiring this Rik Smits wallpaper, he can be found country line dancing at Basketbawful. Enjoy! • At least he's in Barkley's Fav...
Boston Fans, Still Struggling The Day After
After reading Bill Simmons' magnanimous column this morning, we were began to feel vaguely sympathetic to Boston fans. (Though the biggest revelation from his column is that, had the Patriots won, Simmons had set up to hang out with Tom Brady in his private entourage party room afterwards. The Gia...
The Patriots Are, At Last, Losers. Like The Rest Of Us.
It is rare in the world of sports to find a moment when two revelatory, unifying moments converge into something that stuns us all, from every direction. Around 10:20 p.m. ET last night, the sports planet's tectonic plates shifted so dramatically that we thought our heads would never stop spinning...
Please Do Not Duck Under This Man's Camera
• Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes. • The glamor of Glendale. • Larry Johnson rocks. • Gin Blossoms. • Gilbert Arenas likes the book. (Well, that part about him, anyway.) • Jerramy Stevens is kind of evil. • A blog is the only place you can read Stephen A. • Welcome back, Chris Anderson. • Media Day ...
Who's Sorry Now? Fat Guy Edition
In possibly the biggest apology in soccer history (until the LA Galaxy gets around to explaining the whole Beckham thing), Diego Maradona has apparently admitted that it was his hand — not God's — that pushed home Argentina's game-turning goal against England in the 1986 World Cup. Of course, the fa...
Silly Daddy, Sleeping On Mommy
We hate L.A. All they do is snort coke and talk....
Tom Brady Will Be Well Coiffed On Sunday
The big Super Bowl question concerning Tom Brady isn't "Is he injured?", but rather "Will he have his nails done?" One can bet that the answer is affirmative, as word has leaked that the Patriots' quarterback will have his own hair stylist on hand in Glendale this weekend. They're calling him a barb...
Deadspin Party Brings Sexy Back
OK, so, well, Justin Timberlake didn't make it to our Super Bowl party last night, but it was still a grand time....
The Deadspin Super Bowl Party Is Tonight
If you'll bear with us, allow us to contrast our Super Bowl party — at Zipps Sports Grill in Scottsdale at 7:30 p.m. tonight — and the Super Thursday event tonight just down the street at Axis/Radius....

The First Of Many Book Tour Stops
With all the rigmarole about the Super Bowl and what-not, we almost forgot that we were supposed to be on a book tour. The whole big shebang kicks off tonight at the Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe. We will not be wearing our Jenna Bush mask. (By the way, the book she's reading there is not "My Pe...
