So, that Greg Oden vs. Florida's defending national championship frontcourt matchup that seemed so appealing yesterday... that never really materialized. At least, not in any kind of a way that Greg Oden enjoyed. That Florida won wasn't the surprising part, but rather, how thoroughly Florida beat th...
About Last Night...
• NBA: Utah 100, Memphis 97. I don't think there's a person in Utah who wouldn't gladly sleep with Mehmet Okur these days. • College Football: Utah 25, Tulsa 13. That was probably the most memorable Armed Forces Bowl of my lifetime. • NBA: 76ers 98, Knicks 77. Andre Iguodala seems to be enjoying his...

About Last Night...
• College Basketball: New Mexico 71, (8) Wichita State 68. And Wichita State finds itself in the unfortunate position of seeing some form of the word "shock" in the headline every time they're upset. • NBA: Wizards 144, Suns 139. Raja Bell was the only starter in the game who didn't get into double ...

Not A Good Way To Be Added As A Friend

Five Hours Ago, Dontrelle REALLY Had To Pee
That marriage ... (sips imaginary glass of bourbon) ... it's a tough racket.

We're Going To Wally World!
Someone asked us the other day whether or not our job was stressful. We thought about it for a moment and told them that our job is only stressful when we're not doing it. Doing Deadspin is the most fun thing we do; the only time it stresses us out is when we're away from the computer and terrifie...

Those 1987 Mets Were True Method Actors
On the list of lazy pre-Christmas time videos to whittle away the remaining office hours with, this one might be the most cringe-inducing. It's part 1 of a half-hour "musical adventure" — here's Part Two and Part Three — involving the 1987 Mets, some extremely annoying children and a "nerd" who illu...
