Steve Nash Broken Up Over Raja Bell Trade

Annika Sorenstam: Liar

That final round where she received a celebratory champagne bath—after missing the cut—was simply her final round...
Mets Shore Up Their Crappy Bullpen
And Mets fans have reminded me several times that I have yet to post this news. Like Dan, who sent the email featured below. He's been deputized Deadspin Mets correspondent for this afternoon....

Graham Harrell Snubbed By Heisman Travel Agency
Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford and The Exhalted One will be in New York City this weekend to eat fancy steaks, take one of those lame bus tours, and try hard not to mention the name "O.J. Simpson." Of course, there will be one young quarterback who won't be joining the Holy Trinity on their victory tour....
That's What The Zamboni Is For, I Guess

Lendale White Suggests Panther Swipe
"If they want a nickname, I can nickname them: 'Identity and Theft,'" said White, who's successfully paired with the speedy rookie Chris Johnson this season.

What You Missed At Baseball's Winter Meetings
It's seems there's only one organization on Earth that hates the Mets more than Deadspin. The New York Damn Yankees. Brian Cashman couldn't stand to give the crosstown "rivals" even one news cycle to themselves so he flew all the way across the country to sign C.C. Sabathia in the middle of the nigh...

"By the start of the 2009 regular season, the plan of MLB's safety and health advisory committee is that all bats will have been certified by MLB and that the 32 manufacturers making them will be held to a new list of standards surrounding their production. That means keeping track of different mode...
Graham Harrell Will Be Your Man For All Seasons
Isn't this an adorable picture? According to these fine destinations, the gentleman in the top left corner decked out in a snazzy Christmas sweater is Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell. The sweater is one more befitting of an early 90's R & B group or a NAMBLA holiday card than a Heisman hopeful...
Sonya Curry Back On American Radars
I don't understand the Sonya Curry phenomenon. (Actually, I didn't even know there was one, but apparently it's tearing up the charts.) The mother of Davidson sharpshooter Stephen Curry is an attractive 40-something teacher and a former athlete herself, but does that really make her any more interes...

Looking for a toy that will compliment your child's ADHD while teaching him many new profanities in the process? It's the Ref-Baiting Mark Cuban Doll, with military stompin' boots and, apparently, kung-fu grip. Also, please note the "choking hazard" warning at the top, most likely added during the 2...

Did Visanthe Shiancoe Flash On Purpose? One Ex-NFLer Thinks It's Possible
Regardless of what Visanthe Shiancoe told Minnesota gossip columnist "CJ" after he found out his dangling member was revealed to the world, Shiancoe's agent, Tony Agnone, says the Vikings tight end was "sorry it got on television." The damage-controlling Agnone also said Shiancoe's greatest concern ...
