ESPN's Featured Comment Of The Day
ESPN scoured its message boards this morning to find its cleverest, boldest, most enlightening comment, and chose this one above all others ......
Cheer, Cheer For Old William And Mary
Anyone who remembers George Mason's amazing run to the Final Four a couple of years ago might find it difficult to cheer against them, but if there's ever a time to, tonight's the night. Because at 7 p.m., their opponent in the CAA Championship Game is William & Mary. And that's amazing....
Man's Gotta Have A Code
It's a non-selective Sunday without a great deal of intriguing matchups (sorry those looking for an Avalanche-Stars breakdown), so my attention turns to the grand finale of what has been hailed by a great many pundits as the Greatest TV Show of All-Time. I'm not qualified to make that judgment, but ...
Erin Andrews Bares All (Textually)
Continuing to take cues from the blog world, the Chicago Tribune is the latest mainstream publication to grant a profile to the ever frothed over Erin Andrews. What cell phone number juicy tidbits would she reveal? Can you make it to the end of an article with no pictures? I'll try to cull the highl...
Life Of Miguel Tejada Not So Bad
Despite being named in the Mitchell Report, having his older brother die in a motorcycle accident in January and dealing with a reality where being dealt to the Astros is an upgrade, Miguel Tejada can't really curse the heavens just yet. After all, he's still married to the stunning Alejandra, who i...
The Marycuse Orangeapins
The College Basketball Closer is written by the gang at Storming the Floor....
Randy Moss's Lesser-Rumored Options
Assuming you don't believe MJD's theory that the Patriots already have a deal with Randy Moss and just want to see other teams twist in the wind, the rumors regarding Moss's next destination have been scattered and speculative. Randy Moss to Dallas. Randy Moss to the Giants. Randy Moss to the CFL, e...
Kansas Fans Know What Erin Andrews Likes
Unquestioned, kind Kansas fan! Erin Andrews is a true professional who enjoys the game of college basketball. That's why she can be seen on various sidelines of notable games across the country, getting exclusive interviews with today's most prominent coaches and bringing viewers updates as the game...
Tyson-Holyfield III: For All The Butterscotch
The Shocker Before Matlock! The Scuffle During Shuffleboard! The Rumble For The Hoverround! Two Guys On The Beach Fighting Instead Of Wandering Around With Metal Detectors! None of these are catchy names, so a third fight between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson probably won't happen....
Watch That Winning Streak Fade Into Nothing
What are Joel Przybilla and Pau Gasol looking at? The Cloverfield monster? An upper deck blowie? Danny Noonan's putt? Whatever it was, it helped the Lakers end their 10-game winning streak in Portland....
Would You Hire This Man To Sell Your Underwear?
So word is that Calvin Klein is driving hard to the basket, trying to lure Tom Brady as their underwear model/spokesman. For seven figures. Wow. Do I want to live in a world where Tom Brady makes more for underwear modeling than Heidi Klum?...
Whither Randy Moss?
So the NFL Free Agent Season officially kicked off today, and there was much rejoicing. But the really big news (for me, anyway) is still far way, apparently: Brett Favre is still in limbo, and Randy Moss isn't talking (although speculation is he's heading to the Panthers). Until there's news on eit...
Derek Anderson Leaves Browns For Free Agency, Signs With Browns
I'm picturing the scene from Meet The Parents where a dejected Ben Stiller stands in an empty terminal and must wait his turn to board the airplane, thanks to the by-the-book airline employee who has yet to call his row. "Please step aside, sir."...
The Other Shoe Drops In Clemens Case
I guess the lesson is that you don't come into Henry Waxman's house talking smack. Just hours after Congress recommended that Roger Clemens' testimony be examined by the Justice Department, the FBI announced that it has begun investigating whether the pitcher lied to Congress when he denied taking s...
Baseball Season Preview: Oakland A's
For the third consecutive season, we are proud to introduce the Deadspin Baseball Season Previews. Yes, baseball is awfully close now; it's spring training, after all....
Congress Decides That It's Time ... For The Comfy Chair!
I know that this isn't the favorite part of your day, but it must be done: Here's your Roger Clemens update. Noting direct contradictions in testimony given by Clemens to a congressional committee in a private hearing on Feb. 5 and at a public hearing on Feb. 13 regarding steroids, congressional lea...
Bill Belichick Knows Where Lesbians Love
At long last, a prominent pro sports coach has come out of the closet in a nationally- ... wait, what? Sorry. Scratch that. While Bill Belichick is the cover boy for this month's issue of Boston Spirit, the city's premier gay magazine, the mag's publisher points out that his photo was just picked mo...
LeBron Is Human After All
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who isn't going to cover the Blazers/Clippers game, because of the pain it caused my eyes to watch. (Although I will tell you that Portland won 82-80.) When he isn't recovering from the ugliness of professional basketball, he can be found making fun of it at...
Stephon Marbury Should Be A Professional Prognosticator
It's particularly amusing in the wake of the great Zach Randolph "possession." How young we were back in July 2007 ... how little we knew!...
Brewers Fans Are Focused, Dedicated
This photo is somewhat old, apparently, but it's the first I've seen of it. Brewers fans, so used to disappointment, will take their excitement where they can get it I suppose. Later, at home, Erin Andrews found two tiny burn marks on the seat of those slacks....
