The Feds Are After Bernie Kosar But, More Importantly, So Is His Chef
For $228,806 in unpaid taxes. For his part Kosar claims the bills got lost in the mail after his divorce from wife, Babette, led to a new address. Has any marriage to a woman named Babette not ended in divorce? We linked this in blogdome but that was before Kosar added a chef to his enemy list. Yep...
LeBron Would Head To Europe for $50 Million a Year
$50 million just so happens to be about $30 million more than any NBA team can pay under the salary cap. That sound you just heard is the NBA brass trying to figure out if they need some sort of superstar carve out in the salary cap structure. Either that or getting a capless division set up in Euro...
LeBron Better Learn Himself Some Greek, Just in Case
So far, it's been an interesting summer for David Stern and his beloved NBA. Mr. Stern has watched as one of his former referees was sent to the butt-farm, and as nearly half of his League fled for the Euro-lined courts of, well, Europe. To Stern's relief, undoubtedly, no major stars have fled acro...
The Potential For More Men Falling Four Stories And Almost Dying Begins Tonight
Tonight, the X Games begin their 14th season and what better way to promote that event than to look back at one of the most horrifying (if he died) but awesome (that he lived) moments ever witnessed in any sporting event.

Here's What Kwame Brown Can Do For The Pistons
Joe Dumars has done great things in Detroit. He drafted Tayshaun Prince and Rodney Stuckey. He traded for Ben Wallace, Richard Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace.

Brady Quinn Starts Off New Season With Training Camp Tights
It's no big deal. Lots of quarterbacks wear tights when it's 100 degrees outside. Like...yeah, there's no real good comparison here. Am I the only person who pictures Brady Quinn angrily throwing down his Ripped Fuel in the locker room and squealing, "Darn it guys, they're not tights. They're Europ...
LeBron Raymone James Donates $20k to Barack Obama's Presidential Campaign
Actually to a committee dedicated to electing Obama since personal contributions are capped at $2,300 per election. Early in his career as pitchman for the Gods, Michael Jordan remarked, "Republicans buy sneakers too," when Harvey Gantt's senate campaign requested he donate money. Gantt was then em...
Sklar Bros. Give Deadspin Exclusive Look At New Topps Web Series
Leif and Leyland Topps are just twin brothers trying to get ahead in the rickety, unpredictable world of the sports card business, with a boss who doesn't like them, a Steinbrenneresque CEO and enough half-baked ideas to get them into consistent trouble. Sound familiar? Anyway, it's the basis for th...
Broncos Stink Like A Flower That Stinks Really Bad
Here's a game for you the next time you pick up the sports section of a newspaper. (If people still do that these days. Zing! High five!) Find their local columnist and count how many consecutive one-sentence paragraphs that lead off their article. Today, it's Woody Paige, and the count comes in at ...
Brady Quinn: Bringing People Together Of All Persuasions
It's only speculation as to how many gay relationships have been started because of Brady Quinn. After all, his photo has been used to promote the M4M gay dating service for a couple of months now on Facebook pages across our great land....
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....

Minor Enterprise has a way of pleasin', I don't know why it is, but there doesn't have to be a reason. Anyway ......
Let's Start Guessing Where LeBron Will Play In Two Years
The summer of 2010. That's when LeBron James will shun Northeast Ohio, get a plane ticket, head to New York City, play basketball, and win a championship with either the Knicks, the Nets, or an amalgamation of the relocated Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers, the Long Island Clizzers....
Ron Jaworski: Yes, I Know I Look Like An Old Lesbian
Former Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback and current Monday Night Football analyst, Ron Jaworski, is well aware that he's not winning any "Most Masculine Bifocals" awards anytime soon. In fact, he promises that the specs he'll don this year won't have so many people confusing him with Sally Jesse Ra...
Manny Ramirez Is Passionate About Free Tickets
I've seen The Amityville Horror enough times to know that something supernatural must be going in Houston's Minute Maid Park. First Shawn Chacon snaps and tackles Astros' GM Ed Wade in the home clubhouse, where an attempted strangling may or may not have occurred. Chacon was shipped to the North Pol...
A Few Seconds of Excerpt
Author of "Word Freak" and renowned short person Stefan Fatsis, who I've had the pleasure to meet on a few occasions and was once beaten at Scrabble by Big Daddy Balls Magary (Drew never shuts up about this), is coming out with a book this summer about his experiences joining the Denver Broncos camp...
Brook Lopez: 'I'm Going To Be Like Brady Quinn'
Brook Lopez, one half of the approximately 14 feet that is the Lopez twins, was considered the more-talented basketball brother at Stanford University this past season. Although possibly not the more mature. Witness his wit and wisdom during the NBA Draft, including the highly quotable: "This is so ...
Brandon Marshall Isn't Ready To Wipe With His Right Hand Yet
You might recall when Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall said back in March that he hurt his arm slipping on a McDonald's bag. That turned out to be a fib; he was just roughhousing with some family members and accidentally put his hand through a TV screen. But now it's June and he looks a...
Media Approval Ratings: Gregg Easterbrook
When Gregg Easterbrook's old "Tuesday Morning Quarterback" initially appeared on ESPN Slate, way way way way back in the day, it seemed like a revelation, and we say that not only because of his consistently amusing (and depressing) "Arizona (CAUTION: MAY CONTAIN FOOTBALL-LIKE SUBSTANCE) Cardinals" ...
