And Michael Strahan Got... JACKED UP!
The offensive linemen who line up against Michael Strahan on Sundays just got a whole lot of new ammunition for trash tralk. And Strahan can't run from it, either, because he's going to have to play football for a loooong time. He can't afford not to....
Barry Bonds Unlikely To Stay "Pals" With Mark Sweeney Much Longer
Barry Bonds has been dodging, ducking and weaving the Inspector Javerts of Major League Baseball and the U.S. government for so long that it's almost second nature to him; he has moves that would make LaDainian Tomlinson envious. According to this morning's New York Daily News — which remains three ...
BCS Blogdome: There's Got To Be A Morning After
What they're saying in Blogville about Florida's 41-14 win over Ohio State in Monday's BCS Championship Game ......
Now They Just Need Marky Mark To Play Linebacker
As Garcia Mania continues to sweep the greater Philadelphia area — if just because "Westbrook Mania" doesn't have the same indelible linguistic flow — we point out to you the spoils of quarterbacking an NFL team that is the company in a company town: Incredibly awkward local television commercials! ...
Giants vs. Eagles, 4th Quarter
- 3rd and 2 for the Giants from the Eagles 6, and Eli Manning just can't make anything happen. He fails to see a wide open Plax in the back of the endzone, and ends up throwing it away, which, I suppose, is all you could expect from Eli Manning. They settle for the field goal, and it's 20-13 Eagles ...
Giants vs. Eagles, 3rd Quarter
- The Eagles are getting the ball here to start the second half. And if they score here, it would force Eli Manning into a lot of passing situations, which would be fantastic for people who hate Eli Manning....
Giants vs. Eagles, 2nd Quarter
- The Giants are on pace for over 400 yards......
Giants vs. Eagles, 1st Quarter
- Alright, here we go. I'm expecting this Eagles/Giants game to be more eventful and more... disastrous. NFC East games tend to veer towards the absurd. This will not be a quality football game, but it will probably be fun....
Playoff Pants Party: Eagles Vs. Giants
Seriously, it has to be frustrating. The Eagles make their mad dash to win the division and grab the third playoff seed ... and they still have to play the goddamned Giants in the first round....
Giants v. Eagles: Indulge Me
Once again Philadelphia and New York's respective media communities are doing their best spur the rivalry between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants before their Wild Card game on Sunday. You can find the usual round of jibber jabber: Brandon Short astutely stating that Philadelphia's f...
As The Mess Begins To Unfold...
If the Giants lose tonight, tomorrow's NFL day gets a lot more interesting and confusing. If they win tonight, a playoff spot is theirs, most likely. If they lose, though, there are four other teams, all of them terrible, that could claim the spot tomorrow. I don't care much about either of these te...
Breaking News! Baseball Player Signs Ridiculous Contract!
I'm so excited to tell you this I might as well just copy and paste the fucker:...
Curse Of The 1980s Giants Infield Continues
We are saddened this morning by reports of the death of former San Francisco Giants third baseman Chris Brown. We don't know what's going on with Giants infielders from the 1980s (Jose Uribe died in a car crash on Dec. 8), but Matt Williams, watch your back. Brown, who was Darryl Strawberry's teamma...
Time To Display Some Confidence, People
We promised you a reminder when our little College Bowl Pants Party League officially went live, so here it is: You can join the Deadspin Pants Party Bowl League right here....
Bonds Back In Only Place That Truly Loves Him
Well, now we can breathe easy over here; Barry Bonds won't be going to St. Louis. (And now that he's not, we'd like to note that we would have never sold out our principles to root for him. Nope! No way! Obviously! Of course not!)...
Bonds In St. Louis, And What It Could Mean For The Human Condition
Part of being a sports fan is making internal deals with yourself. Sure, you might despise, say, Charles Oakley when he's on the other team, but when he's on your team, he's indispensable and the guy you scream for. No matter what he has done in the past, no matter how much he has hurt your team or ...
Please, Someone, Make Strahan Just Go Away
All right, we'll say it: We absolutely do not believe Michael Strahan when he does anything anymore. Everything the guy does seems so calculated, so media-savvy, so gay dramatic ... well, we just don't buy it anymore. If this guy played in Jacksonville, no one would know about him, or care....
Brandon Jacobs Is Not Impressed With The Titans
We admire Giants touchdown sponge Brandon Jacobs, not only because he went to Southern Illinois, but because he's making every person we know who drafted Tiki Barber in fantasy football want to kill themselves. (Barber still has one touchdown this year.) We admire him because he's a rookie second-...
Eli Manning Would Just Like To Go Home Now
After yesterday afternoon's installment in the weekly drama of the Eli Manning Swath Of Destruction, one thing seems rather clear: The Giants quarterback just doesn't seem to be enjoying football very much. This probably shouldn't be much of a surprise, considering his father and older brother have ...
Giants Look Anything But Sharp And Dapper
Among the many reasons for Giants coach Tom Coughlin to feel like a bit of a doofus last night, the fact that he was wearing the standard coachwear of a blue poncho festooned with the soul of a windbreaker, while Jack Del Rio finally found a way to not look like a meathead in his rather sharp suit. ...
