Colts vs. Ravens, 4th Quarter
- 2nd and 25 now, after a holding penalty on Ogden. A short completion leaves then with 3rd and 18, and at least getting into field goal range would be huge here. Again, it's short to Mike Anderson....

Colts vs. Ravens, 3rd Quarter
- We are back underway... the statistics by these two teams in the first half are remarkably similar. The different is six Colt points off two turnovers. I hope the second features one or more of those "touchdown" things....

Colts vs. Ravens, 2nd Quarter
- Stover from 41, to cut the lead in half... and he just squeezes it inside the upright. And Gumbel's right, ever since Tony Romo did what he did, I do always pay more attention to the snap and hold. And here's another commercial, which is fine, because at this rate, I'm assuming that they're not go...

Colts vs. Ravens, 1st Quarter
- I think I'm going to call CBS and just ask them to not show the game and give me 4 hours of Dan Marino and James Brown laughing about something Shannon Sharpe said. I can't get enough of that. We're still probably 15 minutes from kickoff. Get yourselves strapped in....

Nothing About This Suggests "Paradise"
If you were undecided about who to root for today... Jesus....

Sammy Sosa Is Too Fat For Japan
Wednesday, we told you about how a Japanese team was close to signing Sammy Sosa, forcing him to pretend not to be able to speak Japanese. Well, it turns out that the Japanese have had a change of heart, thanks mostly to trans fatty acids....

Playoff Pants Party: Ravens Vs. Colts
Again, so we don't overrun the site with Pants Parties tomorrow, we thought we'd preview Saturday's first game today. So here you are....

Chiefs vs. Colts: 4th Quarter
- Thanks to Tony Gonzalez and Trent Green's newfound testicles, the last fifteen minutes of this game might actually be worthwhile. The picture there is Larry Johnson's dad, and I thought we should probably feature him, as he's been as important to the outcome of this game as his son has....

Chiefs vs. Colts: 3rd Quarter
- It's halftime. The picture there to your right is Lawrence Tynes' field goal doinking off the post. Enjoy Jerome Bettis in the studio....

Chiefs vs. Colts: 2nd Quarter
- That's Julie Green again. Sorry... she made an impression. I just kind of assumed that Trent Green would be with someone who looked a little bit more matronly....

Chiefs vs. Colts: 1st Quarter
- Hello... welcome. That's Herm Edwards and Tony Dungy, and in case you didn't catch the NBC pregame show, they're friends. They really like each other. A lot....

Playoff Pants Party: Colts Vs. Chiefs
Because we're just now back and getting around to previewing these playoff matchups — jeez, we missed the whole playoff picture clearing up; we were gone longer than we realized — we thought we'd toss in one of these playoff previews today so the site isn't run over with them tomorrow....

The Royal We Is Back, And So Are We
If you were wondering what a man looks like after a 12 1/2-hour flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Santiago, Chile, to Toronto to New York City — particularly when his luggage is still in Toronto, presumably being delivered by mounties this evening — this is what he looks like: Haggard, but full...

Take Me Home, Country Load
There isn't a lede in the world that could possibly do this Georgia Tech fan's Gator Bowl experience any justice, so I'll just go right to the recap:...

Cultural Oddsmaker: So, What's Everybody Doing for New Year's?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. A.J. Daulerio was denied a bank loan. Email him to let him know what you think....

So, here're the mugshots from Iron Mike's arrest. Maybe the Special Olympics could use a boxer this year?...

Big Ups to the Jews
Thanks for the tips, fellas. This day will go a lot smoother now on all fronts. And thanks Muselix!...

8 Reps With The Right Nut, 8 Reps With The Left
Apropos of nothing, "apropos of nothing" has always been my favorite Deadspin line. Thus, apropos of nothing, I present to you this video of a man ramming an elastic cord attached to a kettlebell into his groin. You're welcome!...

Oh Miller Don't Wanna Dance With Somebody
And thankfully, I won't have to watch him feel the heat with somebody. With somebody who (somebody who) loves him. Sigh....
