Discussing "The Agony Of Victory"
We love books. Books are fun. They're so full of booky goodness. And because we don't have time to read and write about every sports book, we've corralled three regular Deadspinners to continue the Deadspin Book Club, discussions of current sports books. (Previously, they did Running The Table.) You...
Last Call For Deadspin Word Of The Year Nominations
Last week we asked for nominations for Deadspin Word of the Year, and you answered the call handsomely. From your herd of suggestions we've culled 55 entries — yes, yes, girls, "Mangino" is in there — and we'd probably like to get it to 70 or so before actual voting commences. So if you were unable ...
Listen Only To Those With Expertise
• Woo-hoo, another ESPN Memo! • Stephen A. Smith is so much more qualified than your stupid bloggers. • John Maine wore a dress, and then made it clear that he didn't. • "You Dead, Dawg," Deadwood-style. • The Football Guys. • Illinois in the Rose Bowl. Yipes. • Denny Green, copyrightin'! • Ashley Y...
Don't Feed Them After Midnight
Give him to us. We'll take him to the kennel, they'll put him to sleep. It will be quick and painless compared to what we would do to him. We'll catch the beast ourselves. He'll get what he deserves, a slow painful death. Maybe we'll put him in our spin-drier on high heat....
Fun With Knicks' Math
• R.I.P., Sean Taylor. • Enough, Eli, enough. • We miss Saturday NFL too. • Pau Gasol poops. • The Daily Illini rules. • The Patriots could possibly lose. Possibly. • The Bob Knight Gun Show • God, we love Canada. • Bill Conlin would like you to get off his lawn. • Covering the Knicks is miserable. ...
Where'd You Hide The Alcohol, Danny Ocean?
It's like a three thing... it's, like, ball, dick, ball. It's like a division sign... we just wish you would take those off....
Workin' On Thanksgiving
• Nick Saban is a student of history. • It's funny when sideline reporters are dropped on their head. • The Celtics aren't going undefeated. • Zoooooook. • Isiah somehow survived the week. • Thanksgiving is not that important to Ron Mexico. • We will miss Kaz Tadano. • Frank TV is here!

The Eagles Are HUGE Underdogs Sunday
We were pretty amazed to read this this morning: Apparently Sunday night's Patriots-Eagles game has the biggest spread in NFL history. (Well, not exactly: They're not counting expansion teams, for some reason; the Buccaneers were 24-point underdogs to the Steelers in their first season, and lost 42-...
If It's November, It Must Be SHOTY Time

Mom And Me Versus You And Dad
She's a very risky writer, Lili. Very racy. Exhibiting her c—t in that fashion is very racy. We mean, Lili has her influences in post modern literature, it's a bit derivative of Kafka, but for a student, very racy. Did you get that it was her c—t?...
The Buckeyes And Wolverines Are Still Playing This Weekend
This year's Ohio State-Michigan game, thanks to Illinois' win last week (woo!) and the lack of a legendary coach dying right beforehand, doesn't quite have the inherent drama of last year's. But it's still freaking Ohio State-Michigan....
Tennessee Football Players Have It All

All In All, Not A Bad Guy, If Looks, Brains And Personality Don't Count
Nah, it stayed a hat and no, we didn't chase it. Nothing more foolish than a man chasin' his hat....
Get Your Disgusting Piece Of Red Sox Memorabilia Here
What, you might ask, is that little piece of biomatter next to that dime? We're kind of afraid to tell you....
Your Next Book Club Selection
Yesterday, we introduced the Deadspin Book Club, but it's clear we should have planned better for it, since essentially we were asking you to read a discussion of a book you had not read. We're going to try to improve on that....

Your panelists are Unsilent Majority, Signa...
Boston Now Controls Everything. Beware.
• The Red Sox went to the World Series and then started kicking some ass. • One happy Kentucky fan. • We'll call this an agent screwup. • Heath Shuler, still awesome. • Ack! Jason Taylor robot! • Here comes Dennis Miller. • Larry King explodes. • Channing Crowder is smart. • Sorry: Still not worth i...
Attica! Attica!
We couldn't explain why we did the things we did. So we went to this psychiatrist who explained to us that we were a woman in a man's body. So Sonny right away wanted to get us money for a sex change operation: but where was he to get that? 2500 dollars! God, he's in hock up to his ears already....
Memorial Stadium, Under The Lights
• Wait. You do it with Derek Jeter and some other lady, and you expect free parking too? Sheesh. • This is not the best way to intimidate Josh Beckett. • The Rockies are in the World Series. • See ya, Torre. • Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Aikman is on line two. • Bill Simmons, mo-capped. • Those diligent beat rep...
