Live Blogging The George Mitchell Presser
OK, it's time. Will all be revealed? No. But it'll be fun to watch nevertheless. Is well circulated list accurate? Will George Mitchell call Bud Selig a hoser? Find out all this and more, after the jump. And MLB will have the full report on its site right after Mitchell's presser is over....

Is This The List Of Players Mentioned?
OK, let's do a little test of the Internets today: In the last hour, we have been forwarded a list of players mentioned in the Mitchell Report by about 25 different people. Is this list substantiated? No. Is it from an MLB official? No. Do we have any reason to believe it's anything but random bunk?...

Last Chance For Blatant Mitchell Report Guessing ... But There's No Guessing On Clemens
We're not sure if this says more about the significance of today, or simply a statement about us, but just about every email we've gotten today has included the words "Happy Mitchell Report Day." Hype is fun. Particularly now that Roger Clemens is attending the party....

Kent Bottenfield Croons To Save Your Soul
We remember former major league pitcher Kent Bottenfield as an above-average starter for the Cardinals and the guy we packaged with Bill Simmons lookalike Adam Kennedy to grab Jim Edmonds. (Also, he's the least likely human to be included in the Mitchell Report tomorrow.) Well, he's more than that n...

We Congratulate "Florida Quarterback" On His Heisman Trophy
One of the nice things about college athletes is that you don't have to pay them. Heck, it might be the best thing about college athletes. Seriously, look at them: They can put their bodies and lives on the line every week, and we don't have to give 'em nothin'. Amazing, right? And if they do really...

Apparently, College Athletes Study
As we slowly stumble toward the end of the year, we have hit that dead spot during the week in which there are no NFL games, no bowl games yet and a bunch of NBA games in which most of the players are hungover. (We're in the midst of holiday party season ourselves, so we know how they feel.) But the...

What The Mitchell Report Could Possibly Mean
Baseball has promised that the Mitchell Report will be out by Christmas, and several sources are whispering that it'll be out this week, including those who have talked to SI's John Donovan, who has an excellent pregame rundown. (Howard Bryant at ESPN has a great piece as well....

Fun Time In Dolphins Land
We have made no secret of our enduring love of The Dugout, both in its original incarnation and its current, non-expletive form at AOL Sports. But you think these guys just know baseball? Pshaw. Therefore, Football Guys, the official chatroom of the NFL. It will run here on Deadspin weekly, every Tu...

Tonight's Episode Of The Vick Bowl
Under normal circumstances, this would be what we'd call a "dull" Monday Night Football game, the Saints at the Falcons. In the wake of the Ron Mexico business today, it is upgraded/downgraded to "insufferable."...

Football Night In Baltimore
The Colts return to Baltimore face the Ravens in the city birthed them. They should expect to be greeted by large groups of confused men wearing purple camouflage and the women that love them because they don't know any better. Enjoy the game, I just realized the Wizards were playing tonight so I'v...
