EPSNU "Gay" Announcer Not Happy
Honestly, we were planning on laying off all the gay content for a bit (we can tell how riled up it gets you), but this just came in over the wire:...
Days Of Blunder
Sounds perfectly logical to us: You're in a NASCAR race, you're not doing so hot, so you break off a piece of your car and throw it on the track so they'll put out the caution flag. Yet, Robbie Gordon could be in trouble for doing this — we just don't understand racing — at the Atlanta Motor Speed...
Great Moments in Sports Journalism: Hell, We'll Give it a Shot
Over at Gawker we run a regular feature called Great Moments in Journalism where readers send in particularly egregious examples of overwriting, poor writing, excessive use of clich , or any other example of journalism gone wrong. We very rarely nominate sports pieces, since most of our readers don'...
Time To Pay Up, Gawker
You might remember, back in those halcyon days of two weeks ago, that we made a wager with Alex Balk, editor of angry sister site Gawker and Tigers fan, that whoever's team lost the World Series would have to take over the other's site for a day. (We know you remember this, because Gawker's commen...
Deadspin Field Trip: Cardinals Win The World Series
As we might have mentioned once or twice, we were at Busch Stadium to watch our beloved St. Louis Cardinals win their 10th World Series on Friday night. It is obviously a rare and lovely thing for anyone to have the opportunity to watch their team clinch a championship, and we were blessed by the ...
Five Tiny Tidbits On: The New Jersey Nets
It's hard to believe, but the NBA season is just around the corner. So come with us now as we present five tiny tidbits on each team, just to get you in the mood. Today we continue with the Atlantic Division, so do us a favor and send your tips [email protected]....
Tell Them Billy Buck Is Here
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Bill Buckner's infamous error in the 1986 World Series. We've always imagined him as a tragic figure, forever haunted by that moment, perhaps wandering the Pacific Northwest in a faded Red Sox jacket looking for a handout, like Sylvester Stallone in the openin...
Tony LaRussa Makes Out With Dogs
We're limiting ourselves to three Cardinals posts today — we're insufferable enough as is — and we couldn't help but make this the second one. It's from the Cardinals' parade yesterday, when manager Tony LaRussa, who should totally be wearing dark sunglasses and holding a puppy on his eventual Hall ...
We Have Sought Bliss, And We Have Found It
We know. We know it wasn't the most exciting World Series for everyone to watch. It was sloppy, it was short, it was interrupted by a rainout, it had no Pujols-off-Lidge or Roberts-stealing-second moments. If you were anything other than a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, it was anything but a memo...
About Last Night
What you missed while revolving slowly from the blade of a ceiling fan by your underwear, above a Cardinals cap and a pile of empty Tequila bottles on the floor below ... • NFL: It's RomoCop! ... Cowboys score 25 points in fourth quarter behind new bionic quarterback ... • Soccer: From way across th...
About Last Night...
• College Football: Tennessee 31, South Carolina 21. And Phil Fulmer is unwilling to take a shot at Steve Spurrier afterwards. Weak. • NHL: Thrashers 5, Sabres 4. A win would've gotten the Sabres off to the best start in NHL history. • College Football: Texas 35, Texas Tech 31. Oh good, more controv...
About Last Night...
• MLB World Series: Cardinals 4, Tigers 2. This will likely not be the last mention of this here on Deadspin. • College Football: Tulsa 30, UTEP 20. I think UTEP, I think two-step, I think Tim Hardaway. Or, Mike Price and filthy whores. Either way, I win. • NBA Preseason: Nets 138, Knicks 121. It mi...
Cardinals. World Series Champions. Holy Crap.
This, friends, pretty much sums it up. This was David Eckstein, and this was us. This is us now, actually....
The Last Night At Busch, One Way Or The Other
There's still a possibility of rain, so we might not have a game until tomorrow. But if there IS a game tonight — and the odds are in favor of it — we highly encourage you to hang out here, as you have the other games of the World Series, to rather brilliant effect, if we may say so. More than 1,000...
Twenty Four Years Isn't 1918 or 1908 ... But It's A Pretty Long Time
In 1982, we were six years old — we turned seven during the World Series — and could care less about baseball. The principal once called our parents because he thought it was weird that we were reading "Mom, The Wolfman and Me" during recess instead of playing kickball. (And that factoid, surely, wi...
Five Tiny Tidbits On: The Philadelphia 76ers
It's hard to believe, but the NBA season is just around the corner. So come with us now as we present five tiny tidbits on each team, just to get you in the mood. Today we continue with the Atlantic Division, so do us a favor and send your tips to [email protected]....
Deadspin Field Trip: The Rainy (Original) Game 4
As we might have mentioned, we originally had Game 4 tickets, and we sat out in the rain for two hours, freezing, waiting for MLB to put us out of our misery and cancel the game. We had been considering this a dreadful, cursed occurrence, until last night made our Game 4 tickets potential clinchers....
Would You Like Claws With That?
Todd Haley is the receivers coach for the Dallas Cowboys, which means, as is, his life is pretty much terrible. He also doesn't have much time to cook, since he apparently only takes his family out for McDonald's. That's bad enough, but even worse when they McSalad has a huge freaking rat in it....
