Wade Boggs Doomed To Fail On Baseball Tonight
Wade Boggs, venerable hit machine and moustachioed gadabout, has always seemed to be an odd, shady guy. There was that messy affair with Margo Adams. Then he started popping up in hair plug commercials. Then he inducted WWE's Curt Henning into the Wrestling Hall of Fame last year. His boozing on ro...
The Colorado Rockies Own All The Hip Catchphrases
Remember when Pat Riley trademarked the phrase "Three-peat?" It's a good thing he did, because, you know, his team couldn't three-peat in the NBDL right now. Well, the Colorado Rockies have absorbed Riley's lesson: They're attempting to trademark the term "Rocktober."...
Bilas Vs. Le Batard: Quien Es Mas Macho?
In case you haven't heard it, here's the exchange on Dan Le Batard's radio show between Le Batard and Jay Bilas. It's possible these two don't like each other very much....
Observations From Opening Night At Shea
We attended our first baseball game of the season last night, a sloppy, ugly, slightly comical 8-2 Mets win over the Phillies. We tried to attribute it to a cold April night, but seriously, we're not sure the Phillies were actually wearing gloves....
It Is Not Wise To Anger Albert Pujols
Now this is what you like to see. Albert Pujols, immersed in controversy, steaming mad and clouting homers. The Cardinals ripping up the NL Central despite preseason predictions of Epic Fail. Tony La Russa, legally sober according to state law. On Wednesday, Pujols — perhaps angered by this post — e...

The Masters Are Not Back Back Back
The Masters does begin tomorrow morning, at 8 a.m. (So set your alarms!) And, as mentioned last month, it will be telecast on ESPN, minus Chris Berman. We do not envy the exec who had to deliver that news to Boomer....
Steroids, Circa 1992
FanIQ uncovers an old set of "Topps Kids" baseball cards from 1992 that probably wouldn't fly today: It looks like every player is on steroids. Even poor Ozzie Smith!...
Your Deadspin Masters Preview
We don't know much about golf, but we do know that The Masters Are Important. Therefore, with the Big Golf Tournament That Doesn't Like Ladies teeing off tomorrow, we asked resident golf impresario Shane Bacon, of Dogs That Chase Cars, to preview it for us. So here goes....
Terrell Owens: Thespian
Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and suicide survivor, is a man who's always had a flair for melodrama. Now, the Pro Bowl receiver will get to utilize some of those off-the-field skills in an upcoming sitcom starring ex-Public Enemy hype man and reality television star, Flavor Flav. The s...

The West Virginia Power's Mascot Has A Rather Large Package
Here's Charile, one of the mascots of the West Virginia Power baseball team, a Class-AA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. The Power celebrated the beginning of their season recently with a contest to see who could turn in the best drawing of one of their colorful mascots. The winner was Ariel Bens...
Pat Summitt Should Be The Next Coach Of The Knicks
We congratulate the Tennessee Volunteers — we never like calling women's college teams the "Lady" somethings — for their national championship last night. For some reason, it's a little more touching when the elderly mother of the winning coach comes down on the court when the coach is a woman. We'r...
The Wheels Are Coming Off In Wayne County
Detroit Tigers: EPIC FAIL. The Tigers are 0-7 following another fine performance on Tuesday — a 5-0 win by the Red Sox in the opener at Fenway — and the natives are beginning to get restless. First let's go to the blogs....
Shea Stadium Fans Disagree With The Internet
As you might have seen by now, the Mets really were "Rick Rolled" yesterday with the playing of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" at Shea Stadium. If they're going by crowd reaction to decided what the permanent winner is … it doesn't looks good for Mr. Astley....
