The Islanders Love Those Cute Little Bloggers
You might remember when we told you about the New York Islanders' "revolutionary" Blog Box, in which "bloggers" were "credentialed" to "cover" the "hockey." (We're quote crazy today!)...
The Bills Get The Monday Night Football Buzzsaw Treatment
Perhaps this is now going to become a yearly ritual on "Monday Night Football:" Franchise that rarely plays on Monday night shocks undefeated, heavily favorite road team and seemingly secures the win four or five times, thanks to the poor play of the young opposing quarterback. And then they lose in...

What you missed while heroically rebuilding Gatorland ... • MLB: Indigenous Americans send Yankees packing, advance to ALCS. • NFL: Queer As Folk ... how exactly did Dallas win that game again? Cowboys 25, Bills 24. • NBA: Pistons open exhibition season with win over the Heat's bench. Detroit 103, M...
Monday Night Football Makes The Bills Want To Shout
As everybody keeps telling us on the TV set, it has been 13 years since the Bills were on "Monday Night Football," which is amazing, considering even the Buzzsaw has been on three times since then. (And lost all three, of course.) This is the opportunity for all of you with Trent Edwards fever to sc...

Manny Ramirez And His Jazz Hands
We're pretty pleased that the Yankees won last night, not because we love the Yankees, necessarily, but because we finally have a series with a sense of competitiveness. Not only were the other three series sweeps, they were dominations; the Red Sox-Angels series was the only one that a game with a...

What you missed while hunting the great white whale ... • MLB: Torre's execution delayed on appeal, thanks to Johnny Damon. Yankees 8, Indians 4. • NFL: Favre breaks another hallowed record, that you probably won't hear much about from Madden. Bears 27, Packers 20. • NHL: Well, at least something we...
The Los Angeles Angels of Sucktown
Well I was going to wait for this baseball game to end to call it a weekend, but I think it's safe to say that it's over. The Boston Red Sox have exploded with seven runs in the eighth inning to take a 9-0 lead. The only runs that really mattered were the back-to-back solo shots from Big Papi and C...
The First Few Rows May Get Bloody
This time it's Pac Man who's coming into the ring as a big favorite and he's carrying some additional baggage. Pacquiao began training with Freddie Roach a month late and in a different country than everyone expected. However the biggest questions being raised do not concern his conditioning. Instea...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 2
The early games are beginning to wrap up and to everyone's surprise things have gotten quite a bit more interesting out there. Miami has launched an admirable comeback on their former coach and fierce rivals from Chapel Hill and Michigan State is in a shootout with Northwestern, the baddest motherfu...
We're all set for another illuminating Saturday of the Hugh Johnson project. Erin Andrews is in Champaign and a guy named Juice is playing quarterback; the romance in the air is palpable. Send your thoughts, insights, comments, jokes, anecdotes to our screen name ncaa deadspin. Oh and don't forget t...
Raise Your Hands If You're the Boom King
One night, two games, and two walk off hits. Frankly I think we deserved this, these playoff games are longer than Drew's Jambaroo. Manny Ramirez answered my prayers (not for a Red Sox win, just for the sweet release of sleep) and ended the long night with a thrilling walk-off homer to break the 3-3...
About Last Night
What you missed while beginning to regret the return of Lyla Garrity... • MLB: Pronk delivers the winner extras. Is it possible that the Yankees have been cursed? Yes it is, more on this later. • CFB: Beating Louisville is the new black. Will will (awk-ward) now dress exclusively in Beating Louisvil...
The Celtics And Their European Fun
I *Heart* Celtics has been following the Celtics' team trip to Italy and, mostly, chronicling some of the bizarre pictures coming out of the trip....
TBS Knows Baseball, But About That Frank Fellow
All told, we've been pretty impressed with TBS's playoffs coverage so far. Cal Ripken is shockingly candid, that lead-from-first graphic is kind of neat and they're generally restrained about matters. (Other than Dick Stockton's hair, that is.)...
