College Football Preview: The Jort-Out Is Coming
In a move reminiscent of the final rap contest between Rabbit and Papa Doc, Florida fans have embraced their greatest flaw: the you wear jorts insult that Georgia fans have been hurling for the better part of a decade.

Media Approval Ratings: Jeanne Zelasko
If you were in attendance at Citizens Bank Ballpark last night, the first voice you may have heard over the loudspeaker after your team won the championship was that of Jeanne Zelasko. And while I have nothing against Jeanne Zelasko personally, I’m not exactly sure she was the right person to have ...
Thursday Night Preview: #23 South Florida at Cincinnati
In keeping with the theme of the day, once the ESPN Thursday night programmer took a shit and put it into his ESPN issued lunchbox (the graphic on the lunchbox was Stuart Scott's lazy eye and the eye followed you when it moved.)Anyway, then the ESPN programmer collected Lou Holtz's spit and mixed i...
The Deadspin Polygraph Test! Will Leitch!
Welcome to the Deadspin Polygraph Test, where I choose a random person in the sports world and subject them to a series of embarrassing and deeply personal questions, almost all of which involve sex or poop. They can only answer yes or no. Now, I don’t posses an actual polygraph machine here. So I’...

Cops Still Baffled By Isiah Thomas' Tomfoolery
We'll probably never know what really happened last Friday night at Isiah Thomas' spacious pad in Purchase, New York, but the one thing that is being made perfectly clear: he's the one who overdosed on sleeping pills, not his daughter, and police chief, David Hall, is doing everything possible to ma...

Arkansas Radio Host Just Thankful Gregg Doyle Didn't Bite Off Any Extremities
Shawn Arnell isn't sure what he did to piss off CBS Sportsline columnist Gregg Doyle so badly. On Tuesday we detailed their radio interview in which Arnell, co-host of KARN's "Morning Animals" show in Little Rock (that's him to the right), jousted with the feisty online columnist about a piece he wr...
The NBA Season Starts Tonight! Here's What You Can Expect...
Finally, at long last, the NBA's 2008-09 regular season begins tonight. Oh, sorry, I forgot. I meant so say: It begins TONIGHT ON TNT! Except for the Bucks-Bulls game, which isn't quite ready for prime time (outside of the greater Milwaukee and Chicagoland areas, anyway). The question is: Are you p...
Charles Barkley Realizes Isiah Thomas Suicide Jokes Don't Play Well at Press Conferences
Charles Barkley, loudmouth TNT NBA analyst and potential 2014 gubernatorial nominee, may have finally crossed his own arbitrary tastelessness line. Barkley, commenting on the current state of the Knicks at a press conference, made this unfortunate quip about his old buddy Isiah Thomas, who recently ...
Hockey Player Pulls Off Rare Hat Trick, Has His Stick Taken Away
Brace yourselves: This is not a hockey post. It's a college hockey post. And it's not even a Michigan State college hockey post—although I'm sure I'll find a way to work a few dozen of those in before the CCHA season is over—but when any athlete pulls off something that has happened maybe twice in t...
Gregg Doyel Is A Rather Disagreeable Little Fellow
When a national columnist is a guest on your radio show and he proceeds to call the local college quarterback a prostitute, and his his former coach a pimp, then you've got two things, my friend: Ratings gold, and a genuine douchebag. Welcome back to our stage, ladies and gentlemen, Gregg Doyel, who...

Dean Wormer Would Be Horrified
I suppose if one attends a conservative Christian school such as John Brown University in Arkansas, where students are required to sign a pledge that prohibits profanity, pornography, extramarital sex, tobacco, alcohol, gambling and even dancing, then activities like this are sure to be the result. ...
Tyrone Willingham Is Calling It A Career At Washington
Remember when Ty Willingham was on (or at the) top of the college football world? The guy won a Pac-10 title at Stanford (Stanford!) and in the late '90s was one of the rising stars of the college coaching world. Then in 2002, he replaced George O'Leary Bob Davie at Notre Dame and promptly went 8-0 ...
Yeah, I Have A Hard Time Keeping My Eyes Open Too Ashley
Michael Bertin writes regularly about soccer for Deadspin. Liverpool fans must still be over the fucking moon today. A 1-0 win over Chelsea, giving their 86 game home winning streak the, well, 86, and moving atop the table. And I'm not not going to pee on the Reds' parade. I should if only because ...

Stand Up For Joe Blanton!
Okay. This has been a fun weekend. Don't really know what to say right now. I'm sure it'll all be covered in blogdome. But for now, for those who were there tonight, well, you know what this photo means. Maybe. For those who don't, well, it's just a photo of Jessica Biel. Everybody wins! And there'...
