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....
The Key To Any Good Party Is The Ice Sculpture
If you were wondering what happened to your invite to Gilbert Arenas's 25th birthday party, it got lost in the mail and somehow ended up in the hands of Jamie Mottram of Mister Irrelevant, the FanHouse, and formerly of Sports Bloggers Live. His Arenas Express Card got him into the party, and he was ...
Here's To All That Gorgeous Snatch in FLA
The headline is a quote from Slap Shot, which is both a hockey movie and the first thing I think of when anything hockey-related comes to my attention. The clip is a remarkable sequence from a Thursday night game where Patrik Stefan blew the equivalent of a 2-inch putt, and the commentator acted lik...
About Last Night...
• NBA: Mavericks 90, Spurs 85. The Mavericks cannot be beaten and should probably just be named the NFC East Champions, too. • NBA: Wizards 116, Clippers 105. Gilbert Arenas had 35 points on his birthday. More on that in a bit. • NHL: Blue Jackets 4, Ducks 3. Just another night in the Klesla/Malhotr...

We Still Never Like Calling Him The Big Unit
With the apparent trade of Randy Johnson yesterday back to the Diamondbacks, it becomes clear that something terrifying and disconcerting is happening: The Yankees are continuing to make prudent, measured moves with an eye on the long term. We're through the looking glass, people....
Playoff Pants Party: Seahawks Vs. Cowboys
We didn't talk much about this, but the reason for our trip to Argentina? An attempt to further check out the genealogy of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. (Turns out he is not, in fact, Argentinian.) It's still pretty amazing that Romo is in the Pro Bowl; if the Cowboys lose this game, he's gonna l...

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...
Tiger Mauls Helpless Leprechaun As Charlie Weis Looks On And Does Nothing
We are happy to report that the Sugar Bowl was one of several games available on iTunes this year, so we hope all of you Notre Dame fans took advantage of that. Just the thing to view over and over again during church. After LSU's 41-14 win Wednesday night — the Irish's ninth straight bowl defeat ...
The 1998 Baseballs Are Not Here to Talk About the Past
Here's a story that may not have any credibility whatsoever, depending upon your knowledge of the porny sounding " larger rubberized core "and "synthetic rubber rings", allegedly found in baseballs during the 1998 season and, specifically, in Mark McGwire's magical 70th homerun ball....

A Deadspin Special Report: Megan, Says Boi
Hello again. It' be terribly irresponsible of me to not update this post. According to the Trojan-riding scribe at Boi From Troy, the Song girl with her backdoor blown open is... Song Girl Megan. His conclusion comes from a highly regarded "source"....
A Deadspin Special Report: Another Vixen Thrown Into the Mix
So, progress has been limited thus far. I've put in the call to both Justine Gilman and Lori Nelson (advisor and "coach", respectively) of the fabled Song Girls but I am not expecting a message return. However, the man answering the phones at the USC advisory office did say he was not aware of th...
A Deadspin Special Report: USC Song Girl Buttocks Investigation
Plenty of emails have been coming in about the identity of the unfortunate USC lassie whose buoyant caboose was briefly revealed during the Rose Bowl game Monday, then subsequently YouTube-d and jpg-ed all over the world for the oggling, cubicled masses. So far, resident Deadspin commenter Jesse Jam...
About Last Night
What you missed while coming to terms with the idea of the Chiefs in the playoffs ... • Orange Bowl: Because they have a slightly angrier helmet logo than the Arizona Cardinals, Louisville ends season with a win. • NBA: Mavericks forget how to lose, win 11th straight. Also they've misplaced their so...
Searching For Bobby Knight
I can think of no better way to mark Bobby Knight's 880th coaching victory than with the photo above — with coach looking slightly deranged, grabbing players' necks, and no doubt ready to say something untoward into a microphone. What to say about Bob Knight that you haven't already heard? Here's ...
And in Less Bloody Shirt News....
Christ.This is a gratutitous mood-lightening post to veer off the whole Darrent Williams thing for a little while.The Williams story is important, it's tragic, but Jesus Christ, at this rate I'll be posting YouTube clips of Schindler's List to cheer myself up. Anyway, I have one more little piece of...
