Minor Enterprise: Here's To You, Folks
Welcome to this season's final edition of Minor Enterprise. The minor league baseball landscape is rather desolate now; the bats have been packed, the bases locked away, the water bottles collected and washed. And we have to tell you, it was a hell of a time finding all that stuff from where Joe Mik...

Who Can Make A Difference? Parents Like You
One just never knows what mayhem will erupt when the Redskins meet the Bears. Anything can happen ... um, did we mention that these Redskins and Bears are 12 years old? Proving that the ghost of Woody Hayes does indeed roam the earth looking for bodies to possess, an assistant youth football coach i...

That's How You Take A Charge
We just realized that we haven't told your our thoughts on the weekend of college football that just (finally) ended. Well, we're happy the Illini won, though they're gonna get killed at Rutgers. We think Brady Quinn remains dreamy. And, mostly, we think it was an extremely dangerous weekend to be o...

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Marcus "New Mexico" Vick
We can't take credit for the beauty that is Ron Mexico, because it came before our time, so we can only have fun with the next best thing: His little brother Marcus, who has the most fun you can possibly have without actually having herpes....

One Hundred Years Ago, The Blatantly Obvious Was Born
We'd like to say happy birthday to the reason that Jeff George was allowed to inspire a mullet/mustache combo trend that changed the world in which we live: the forward pass turns 100 years old today....

Deadspin HOF Nominee: "Run You Stupid F—-ing Dinosaur! Run!"
It began with a discussion of scoreboard races, one of our favorite little games we played earlier this year. Essentially, we asked readers to send us the wacky scoreboard races of their hometown teams, and you guys absolutely came through. We like to think we have the most definitive reference guid...

Blyleven Isn't Out Solving That Thing; He's F—-ing It Up
You know, it's a sad day when a broadcaster can't let loose a couple of "fucks" on the air without getting suspended for it....

The Old 'Potato Into Left Field' Trick
I think this might be the coolest thing that's happened in baseball history. I'm snickering even as I type this. Dave Bresnahan was a backup catcher for the AA Williamsport Bills, and had a hunch that he was about to be cut. He also had an idea that he could get a baserunner out with the use of a pe...

Sunday Night Football Will At Least Seem Dramatic
Ain't It Cool News has managed to get their hands on an .mp3 of the brand new theme song for Sunday Night Football. They opted against something Hank Williams-esque (or even Pink-esque) and went for the big guns: John Williams....

Did Cooked Crack Every REALLY Go Away?
Here's South Carolina tailback Cory Boyd choosing a very expressive way to announce his return....

Taking Down The Goal Posts: Shhh, Lou Holtz
Notre Dame 14, Georgia Tech 10. It's never a pleasant experience when Notre Dame wins the marquee game of the week, but it was hard not to admire last night's effort. Georgia Tech played an excellent game, but the Irish defense held strong, Charlie Weis let his enormous testicles call the plays in k...

Hugh Johnson Project - Update 4
This one is the Mike Gottfried/Paul Maguire/Gary Thorne hatred edition. And we're wrapping this up for the day. Many many thanks. I think it's been a success....
