Phil Mickelson and John Daly Might As Well Go Get Wasted in a Pub
Rolling into the British Open Phil Mickelson was optimistic this could be his year. By 10:30 eastern, we knew that wasn't the case. The Hefty Left swung his manboobs from one side of the fairway to the other on his way to a robust 79. At least he didn't waste any time taking himself out of competiti...
OK, Nobody Leaves The Room; The ESPYS Gift Bag Seems To Be Missing An Item
On Tuesday our friends at Awful Announcing took a look inside the gift bags that are handed out to presenters and nominees of the ESPYS.

Jay Glazer Finally Breaks Some Brett Favre-Related News
Noticeably absent during the whole Brett Favre telenovela has been Fox Sports' NFL dirt dog, Jay Glazer.

Alright, Brett Favre Might Be Kind Of A Dick
Amidst all the Brett Favre will he?/won't he?-coverage during the past two weeks, one topic that's come a lot is the status of his precious legacy in the eyes of his fans and the league.

John Daly and Butch Harmon in Catfight on Eve of British Open
After swing coach Butch Harmon said Daly was more interested in drinking and having a good time than he was in being a good golfer. Daly, who is more interested in drinking and having a good time than being a good golfer, took offense. Now he's finally firing back from England. Sort of....
Gisele Bundchen's Buttock-Baring Shorts Can Finally Be Seen As They Were Originally Intended
Plenty of online pants-stirring commotion occurred a few months ago when photos of Tom Brady's girlfriend Gisele Bundchen getting a butt-buff were loosed upon the internet masses. Finally, V magazine's fall issue was released and the photos of Gisele doing her whole giraffe-wearing-Daisy Dukes routi...
Newt Gingrich Pleads With The Packers To Keep Brett Favre
Brett Favre's aligning himself with some interesting people during his messy unretirement quest. First it was Fox News' Greta Van Susteren and now he's picked up an endorsement from another figurehead of conservative punditry, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich....
Oh, Sklars
The Sklar brothers, Jason and Randy, have finished a a new web-only series for the Topps baseball card company called "Back On Topps", oddly enough about two brothers who inherit a baseball card company. High jinx will surely ensue....
Tony And Jessica Think That Journey Totally Rocks
It wasn't all fun and wetness at the American Century Championship golf tournament at Lake Tahoe this weekend.

Why Is Brett Favre Talking To This Woman?
The strange and seemingly unending saga of Brett Favre's un-retirement took another odd twist this afternoon, as Brett decided that the first person he would talk to about this whole mess is none other than Fox News talking blech Greta Van Susteren. Huh?...
Charles Barkley Knows Not Of These 'Blogs' You Speak Of
So I was mocked repeatedly for my "interview" with Charles Barkley on Thursday, when I introduced myself and told him that I would be blogging his rounds all weekend. Yes, it somewhat resembled Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney. But I'll have you know that from that brief exchange came the ca...
Don't Worry Golfers; Kevin Has Your Back
So if Kevin Malone were organizing a dream golf foursome, what three Office characters would he choose? That's a tough one (answer following the jump). One thing you should know, though: Brian Baumgartner has very little in common with Kevin Malone. Except that both are funny....
The Biggest Attractions In Tahoe Were Not Necessarily Golfers
It's true: Tony Romo did fall into a pond at the American Century Championship. And was rescued by a hockey player. But practically no one noticed, as Jessica Simpson was rocking the white dress with the orange whoozits and wowing the crowd with her intellectual prowess. Typical exchange: "Jessica! ...
Brett Favre Is A County-Wide Crisis, Telemarketing Goldmine
An email came into the Deadspin tip box yesterday with the subject "Packers robocalling residents about Favre", which said that Green Bay-area residents were getting polled via phone survey about what the Packers should do about The Number 4 Situation. It seemed a little farcical, but considering th...
Favre Protesters Mark The Coming Of End Times
The Favre shit is going to drag out longer than the war in Iraq. First presidential candidate to put the kibosh on this story gets my vote in the next six elections. It can even be Ralph Nader. He was right about the Kings-Lakers series years back, after all. Anyway, a bunch of fucking Cheesetards ...
These Are Clapping Dogs, Rhythmic Dogs, First-Pitching Dogs, House Dogs, Street Dogs
Uno, who I believe was named for the card game I never bothered to learn, continues to blaze trails for doggykind. Back in February, he became the first beagle ever to win the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (though Snoopy remains the first to be a World War I flying ace). Yesterday, he "threw" ou...
Peter King Knows The Motivations Of His Bretty Boy
Favraro's Log. Gunsling Date: Sometime in the middle of the ponderous NFL off-season where shit like this can dominate the headlines for weeks on end.

Brett Favre Asks For Release From Packers, Wants To Play Elsewhere
This time it's not a text message. NFL Live's Chris Mortensen is reporting that Brett Favre has asked for his release from the Green Bay Packers.
