Mets GM Sandy Alderson Is On Twitter, And He Is Funny
Look at that man up there. Does he look like a funny Twitter person to you? Probably not, right. He looks like the senior partner at your dad's accounting firm. He seems like he would have a really firm handshake. He looks like he would interview you for Harvard in the lobby of a local hotel and nod...
Baseball Executives Continue To Show They Have No Idea How Baseball Works
Hidden in this interesting piece about identity fraud from Tyler Kepner in the The New York Times is the perhaps not so stunning realization that many of the people charged with evaluating, acquiring and displaying baseball talent don't know a thing about baseball. Sandy Alderson, the current gener...

Parents: Don't Put Any Goddamn Candy In The Goodie Bag
I go to a lot of children's birthday parties. These parties are virtually identical. You go to a gym, you take off your kid's shoes, you hand your kid over to the 19-year-old girl making $6 an hour and wearing a bright red or blue shirt with the name of the gym on it (PLAY ZONE! GYMTASTIC! BALLS AND...
Randy Moss Is A Sideline Reporter For The Pro Bowl, But, Unfortunately, It Is Just Some Guy Named Randy Moss
It takes a lot to make one really angry about the Pro Bowl. No one cares about the Pro Bowl—not football fans, not gamblers, not even the players in the game. It's a nice Hawaiian lark before the Super Bowl....
WKRG Admits On-Air That Yes, Our Sports Director's Son Is In The Teabagging Video
Randy Patrick was mysteriously absent from tonight's 10:00 news on WKRG in Mobile, but anchor Mel Showers stood in and briefly noted that as we reported on Deadspin earlier today, Randy's son Patrick Setterstrom is a co-star of the now-famous video of the Alabama teabagging incident....
Andy Dalton Has Finally Stopped Pooping
First the Bengals QB was reported to have an "intestinal virus." Then it was "flu-like symptoms." Finally, just "the flu." This is sports code for one of two things: a hangover, or just outright shitting all over the place. Dalton was shitting all over the place. But now he's not!...
If The Canadiens' Interim Head Coach Doesn't Learn French, He'll Probably Be Fired
Montreal Canadiens' interim head coach Randy Cunneyworth doesn't speak any French. This is apparently such a problem among fans that the team's GM had to address the issue with the sort of groveling, mealy-mouthed statement you give when your coach blows a .48 on his Breathalyzer....
This Guy Died This Year: The Man Who Hated Us
2011 was a bad year for assholes. It was the year we were finally rid of this demented and twisted man who hated everything at the very core of what it means to be an American, a human. This man who spit hateful words toward those unlike himself, whether it be based on race, religion or sexual ori...
Marshawn Lynch's Skittles Sneakers Give Him Superpowers
Before Saturday, no one had rushed for 100 yards against the 49ers defense, and no one had run for a touchdown against the 49ers defense. Before Saturday, nobody had worn Skittles sneakers against the 49ers defense. Correlation is not necessarily causation, but this time it totally was, say scientic...
Andy Katz Goes Through Puberty Right Before Our Eyes
While discussing the Syracuse game Saturday, Andy Katz finally became a man. No word yet on whether his mother found his ESPN The Magazine: The Body Issue stash underneath the mattress....
Marshawn Lynch Likes Skittles, Eats Skittles, Gets Free Skittles
After Beast Mode went Beast Mode on the Eagles' sieve of a d-line, he retreated to his bench to taste the rainbow. This is nothing new for Lynch, whose sweet tooth grill goes back to his Bills days. His mother still buys him a pack before every game, and he talks about Skittles in the huddle....
More (Visual) Evidence That Randy Edsall Should Be Stopped
I was home in D.C. this past weekend reading the shitrag that used to be theWashington Post when I came across John Feinstein obliterating Maryland football coach Randy Edsall in the sports section. Feinstein described Edsall as a fool and an egomaniac who needs to be stopped before he ruins the sch...
Kevin Kolb Says He Knew Some Of The Eagles' Plays, Because The Eagles Didn't Bother To Change Their Signals
Trashing Andy Reid is a time-honored tradition among fans in Philly, and that's even when the Eagles are successful. That level of angst is nearly incalculable this season, what with the Dream Team staring at a 3-6 record that already includes four losses at home. I can't imagine what the reaction ...
Andy Reid Is: Jason
He actually conducted a 20-minute-long interview for the Eagles site while wearing this mask today. Confidence is a potent drug. [Via Larry Brown Sports]...

ESPN Employee Denies ESPN Report That Said ESPN Employee Was Offered A Consulting Job With The Eagles
Sal Paolantonio reported one of those stories this morning that forced Philly's football media to ask the kind of question Eagles coach Andy Reid might actually have to answer. According to Sal Pal, the Eagles had tried to bring in former Browns coach (and current ESPN analyst) Eric Mangini to jog ...
Andy Reid Has Lost Philadelphia
Sometimes it happens all at once. After 12 years and almost as many votes of confidence, one day a coach can wake up and everything he's accomplished means nothing, all his team's promise is tacitly promised to his successor....
Andy Roddick Gets A Question Andy Roddick Doesn't Like, Storms Out Of Press Conference
Andy Roddick is known for three things, basically: he is an American who can serve tennis balls at high speeds, he is married to Brooklyn Decker, and he is a rather petulant subject with the press, or simply with authority....
