Football Is So Painful Sometimes
Another beautiful thing about YouTube: It can so aptly capture that moment when being a sports fan is at its worst, when the world is entirely out of your control, when events conspire against you and just make you want rage, rage, RAGE against all that has been taken from you....

Bo Schembechler Gets Meta On Us
We've told you repeatedly about the Dead Schembechlers, the Ohio State fan punk band that features thrash ditties like "Bomb Ann Arbor Now" and "Chad Henne is A Motherfucking Joke." (Their official site is right here, though someone should probably mention that no one does splash pages anymore.)...

What to watch as you prepare for a little light home improvement work ... • NFL: He's a clutch wideout impacting the game, talking 'bout eight seven, my homey Reggie Wayne.

Darren McFadden, 219 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Decent night. • Boxing: Floyd Mayweather wins unanimo...
Rid Yourself Of Those "Cliffhangers"
It's time once again to ask the musical question: "Is that an extra large steel rescue pulley in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?" According to the Chicago Tribune, altitude sickness can be avoided by taking a large dose of sildenafil (better know as Viagra) with you on those strenuous...

Look, An Important Weekday College Football Game!
We don't often get to write about important college football games here — that's usually MJD's job on the weekends — but we have a rare one tonight: A Thursday game between two undefeated teams that could very well decide who plays in the Fiesta Bowl for the BCS "Championship" on January 8. (January...

End of the Line for Curtis Martin?
Nice - if, you know, it turns out to be true - scoop from the Newark Star-Ledger:...
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...
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...

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...
Red Auerbach Passes Away
I'm too young and to fully appreciate the aura of Red Auerbach, but I do know that anyone willing to fire up a cigar on the bench before the game was over is a bad-ass. Red also coached the Boston Celtics to nine NBA championships, eight of them in a row... which also doesn't hurt his image as a b...
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...
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...
