Finally, Rik Smits And Michael Irvin Come Together
Aside from a cocaine-infused party at a French-Canadian brothel, I can't think of many ventures that could bring together the likes of Michael Irvin, Jose Canseco, Kordell Stewart, Darryl Strawberry and Claude Lemieux. Those four are part of the cast for the new season of Pros vs. Joes on SpikeTV....
Oh Schotty, How Can We Stay Mad At You?
Well you won't have Marty Schottenheimer to kick around any more, you ungrateful ... oh wait, sorry. Yes you will. The Chargers announced on Wednesday that their embattled head coach will be sticking around in 2007, as the organization adopts a "Let's just wait and see what happens" attitude that pl...
Chandler: In Which I Am Determined To Make Tom Brady The Next Great Basketball Star
Deadspin associate editor Rick Chandler made a rather surprising confession to us the other day, and we demanded he write about it. So he now has the floor....
Goodnight, Marty: Don't Let The Door Hit You
We're not sure what more one can say about Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer. We do have a suggestion though: Maybe it's time to start wearing that headset like every other coach. That way, perhaps you won't end up challenging calls that obviously aren't going to be overturned, costing you a timeo...
Art Shell Would Like To Know How Much Toner You Think He Should Order
Oh boy, another position for Pete Carroll to consider. Not that there's anything funny about a guy losing his job, but what amused us about the sacking of Art Shell on Thursday was that Al Davis is going to make him stick around and do office work during the final year of his contract next season,...
Matt Leinart Nurses Ailing Shoulder with Glute Pinching Exercises
Rumors are swirling about Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart's ailing shoulder, and whether or not said shoulder should be put under such duress as it must have been while allegedly throwing Britney Spears all over the place last weekend and playing Redbirds Grabass with many an ususpecti...
Martina Hingis Set To Marry And End The Career Of Radek Stepanek
Martina Hingis is marrying Radek Stepanek, a Czech tennis-playing douchebag who is now most famous for marrying Martina Hingis. Those of you who are disappointed that Martina is now off the market need not worry, though. Stepanek will probably be dead within the month....

Columnist Pays Quincy Carter's Bail
You've probably heard by now about former Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter's arrest yesterday. Carter was charged with possession of marijuana after police showed up for a complaint about a domestic disturbance....
Come Celebrate Mo Vaughn's Birthday!
If you're hanging around the Meatpacking District of Manhattan tomorrow evening, we encourage you to drop by the 39th birthday extravaganza for former Red Sox and (gasp!) Met first baseman Mo Vaughn. (Oh, and the Angels: Don't forget, he ate up their clubhouse spread plenty too, and probably hit an ...
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....
Bart Starr Totally Ditched This Chick Back In '66
Imagine, for a moment, that you're Bart Starr, a legendary quarterback, a hero to those who wear processed curds on their head, pretty much an all around prince of the planet. You're 72 years old; you just want to sign your merchandise, make sure your bladder's still working properly and sneak in an...
Imagine How Mad She Would Have Been If It Were Hot Outside
We know this isn't necessarily a sports story, but it does take place in St. Louis, and it does involve beer, so we're just gonna run with it....
Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Chris Berman Vs. Matt Leinart
At last: The first round is over, and we have our eight winners. For all the talk of potential upsets and the supposed mis-seeding of certain competitors, there was only one first round "upset": Stephen A. Smith took down Ozzie Guillen, and that was a shaky seed in the first place....
Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Barbaro Vs. Lamar Thomas
All right, we know this is supposed to just run Tuesdays and Thursdays, but we decided that we were too eager to finally get this first round overwith so we can start the second round tomorrow. (SI's curious pick of Mr. Wade made us decide to speed up the process a bit.) So, this is the final first ...
Jake Plummer Has No Qualms About Doing This Again
Everybody has a cross to bear. Some of us were always picked last in kickball and still harbor resentment about it. Some of us have a lifelong fear of spiders, or horses, or, say, snakes. Some of us become never-nudes. We all have to overcome something....
Imagine How All The Teams Who Play The Redskins Feel
We try not to bring any political correctness, or politics in general, around here, because sports are supposed to be fun, and politics is not fun and just makes people angry. But we couldn't help but think this was a little silly. The athletic director at Dartmouth published a letter in the student...
The Great Big North Texas Football Family
Far be it from us to tell someone how to run their Division I-A football program, but we think as far as dysfunction goes, the North Texas Big Green take the proverbial taco....
Devoted To The Packers' Backup QB
We found it amusing that, with everyone all concerned about Brett Favre's injury last week, it turned out that he was fine ... but backup Aaron Rodgers ended up out for the season. Has to be frustrating; you're stuck behind Favre, and once you finally get in, you hurt yourself....
