At Last, Proof The Book Will Actually Exist
We're going to do our absolute best to not overdo the whole book promotion thing — it's out January 22 and is available for pre-order on Amazon.com — but we haven't shown you the cover yet (that's it, by Jim Cooke, of course), and we're doing our first public reading tomorrow night. So we thought yo...
If It's Too Loud, You're Too Young
There's not much to cheer about in Bronco land these days — did they really get hammered by the Lions? — but that doesn't mean the old folks can't have their fun....
Your Next Book Club Selection
Yesterday, we introduced the Deadspin Book Club, but it's clear we should have planned better for it, since essentially we were asking you to read a discussion of a book you had not read. We're going to try to improve on that....
Introducing The Deadspin Book Club
We love books. Books are fun. They're so full of booky goodness. And because we don't have time to read and write about every sports book, we've corralled three regular Deadspinners to inaugurate the Deadspin Book Club, discussions of current sports books. Your panelists are Unsilent Majority, Signa...
This Post Has Bill Belichick's Total Attention
What sort of mutant, steroid-enhanced high school football are they playing in Kansas? The Smith Center High Redmen scored 72 points in the first quarter of Tuesday's game with Plainview, begging the question, what did the Plainview coach tell his team at halftime? "We're changing the defensive alig...
Two Pair Not A Winning Hand In Kansas
Oh yes we've got trouble! Right here in Salina Kansas! With a capital T and that rhymes with B and that stands for boobs! Here are Salina Central High seniors Jessica Sheahon and Haley Wenthe, modeling salacious T-shirt designs which have been banned from their high school campus. The entire notion ...
China Is Concerned About Your Hips, Ladies
There's pretty much nothing the Chinese government is doing to prepare for the Olympics next year that isn't entertaining. Here's their next trick: Making sure the hostesses for all the events are freaking hot....
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...
Tom Brady Loves To Fly And It Shows
Tom Brady's offensive line is fierce in their devotion to him, and that includes, apparently, censoring the in-flight movies on flights to away games. No sooner had the movie begun on the Patriots' flight to Cincinnati last week than a moment during the opening credits proved a bit, um, awkward for ...
Who's The Next To Be Taken Down By Karma?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 3
Wow. They're really piling on Michigan today. They're talking about App State every chance they get, not failing to mention that 3 game losing streak, and even breaking out footage of the Kordell Stewart play. Are they going to dig up Bo and Gerald Ford and parade their dead bodies on ABC too just t...
Stuart Scott Will Bring Peace To The World Of Rap
One can think of no one better to mediate the feud between 50 Cent and Kanye West than Stuart Scott ... except of course Conan O'Brien, or Daulerio. Both have albums coming out on Sept. 11, and Fiddy, as the kids call him, said that he will retire if Kanye's Graduation outsells his Curtis. The two w...
NBA ref Bob Delaney has a book coming out, about his days as an undercover cop. "I would like to learn about how stupid the Mafia actually is to not think that a man named "Bobby Covert" was NOT a covert, undercover agent trying to infiltrate them. That name is worse than Ron Mexico or Max Power." [...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while police break up your Siamese fighting fish ring ... • College football: There are likely several NFL teams who would like to have LSU's defense. • NFL: Brady Quinn and the Cleveland Browns are the kings of the preseason! • MLB: Yankees 5, Red Sox 0. So is Boston panicking yet? ...
Fox Sports Protects Us From The Horrors Of Boof
By now we're all deathly familiar with ESPN's travails trying to moderate comments with little ####ing success. And if ESPN opts not to be the bastion of uncensored response in user-generated content among network giants, where else do we turn? Fox Sports? Try again....
