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

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.

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 ...

The College Hoops Compendium: It's Bad News When Joakim Noah Gives You The Clap
• (3) Florida 75, UAB 70. According to the AP article, Florida won because Joakim Noah decided to clap and yell, "Let's Go!" on his way out of a huddle. That's a breathtaking maneuver, and hopefully, other coaches from around the country can make their way to Gainesville this offseason to study it...

About Last Night...
• NFL: New York Giants 34, Washington Redskins 28. One of the finer performances you'll ever see from an 8-8 team. • College Basketball: Nevada 82, Gonzaga 74. You know, Gonzaga's not nearly as charming anymore. • College Football: Georgia 31, Virginia Tech 24. Man, those Bulldogs seemed awfully pro...

As The Mess Begins To Unfold...
If the Giants lose tonight, tomorrow's NFL day gets a lot more interesting and confusing. If they win tonight, a playoff spot is theirs, most likely. If they lose, though, there are four other teams, all of them terrible, that could claim the spot tomorrow. I don't care much about either of these te...

How Many Of Them Could Actually Defeine 'Peregrine'?
The fall semester was not kind to the NAIA Purdue-Calumet Peregrines. When grades came in, over half the team was declared academically ineligible, and the Peregrines canceled the rest of their season. Sixteen games will not be played, and there will also be no postseason tournament....
