TBS Knows Baseball, ESPN Hopes Not To Forget
So we're a day late on this, but we wanted to make sure we had all the details correct. As menacingly pointed out during the All-Star Game, FOX has re-upped for the rights to the World Series, Saturday games and one LCS for the next seven years. For Joe Buck and Tim McCarver haters, this is bad ne...
Charlie Villanueva Finds A New Home
In need of a point guard, and realizing that free agents flock to Toronto like women flock to bloggers, the Raptors acquired a point guard in a trade last night. T.J. Ford heads north of the border, and Charlie Villanueva goes back the other way to play alongside Andrew Bogut in Milwaukee....
Spreading The Buckeye Love In Iraq
We've had more than our fair share of big fun at the expense of Ohio State of late, so we thought we'd try to even matters out by pointing out this picture, taken by Corporal Adam Knox, from Whitehall, Ohio, currently serving in Iraq. He's the brother of Deadspin reader Tom Knox, who forwarded the p...
It's A Hat! It's A Hearing Aid! It's A Utensil!
A site we'd never heard of but are now addicted to called Patently Silly takes a look at all the ridiculous "inventions" that receive patents from the goverment. Recently, they featured. something called "Multi-Purpose Headgear", from a company called Sportniks. What are the multi purposes of this...
Let's Go Buckeyes! Yeah!
As we continue to sift through the rubble of last Thursday — a day we are perfectly comfortable with commemorating with the "Deadspin Festivus" moniker, from now into eternity — we check in again on Carl Monday, who, as always, reminds us to ask, "Are our libraries a beacon of light ... or a cessp...
Just Another Manic Monday
Before the week runs its course and we head into our pleasant weekend of barbecues and hangovers, we just wanted to once again salute the genius of CLEVELAND'S INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER Carl Monday, who continues to blow the lid of the cottage "jerking off in a library to get away from one's terrifyi...

Bucknell Bison
1. They Used To Be A Football Powerhouse. The Bison shocked the BCS establishment in 1935 by being invited to the first-ever Orange Bowl. Led by hall-of-fame coach Edward "Hook" Mylin, Bucknell rolled down south and blasted Miami 26-0. The Bison brought in a solid defensive gameplan, forcing Miami q...
Ohio State Buckeyes
1. Wait Till Next Year. The Buckeyes are poised to make a nice run this month, but things will get really interesting next year when the "Thad Five" come to town. Ohio State has five highly rated recruits incoming, led by seven-footer Greg Oden out of Indianapolis. Oden is sure to be the biggest thi...
Are The Buckeyes In Trouble Again?
We don't want to overstep our bounds here — no, really — but we've been hearing a pretty persistant rumor in recent days concerning the Ohio State football program. If the rumors are true, be on the lookout for potential sanctions against the Buckeyes, with the offenses ranging from taking tests f...
Maurice Clarett's Experienced Defense Team
Today's Maurice Clarett update: The "troubled" — that is to say, "known for pretty much everything other than being a football player — posted a $50,000 bond to be released after his charges of aggravated robbery. We'll put aside for a moment how a guy with little discernible income over the last ...
Laura Quinn Gives Us A Fiesta Of Pain
Thoughts while watching about three hundred shots of Brady Quinn's sister, Laura, during the Fiesta Bowl last night: 1. We kind of miss that TV show, Xena, Warrior Princess. 2. We thought A.J. Hawk was some sort of famous skateboarder. Apparently we're confused. 3. Brent Musberger is still al...
The Weird Turns Of Maurice Clarett
We've been trying to get our minds around this whole Maurice Clarett story since we heard about it, but it's almost too confusing for us to keep up with. To recap:...
The Trophy Monstrosity
Via TrojanWire and Every Day Should Be Saturday, we present the trophy given to the winner of the Fiesta Bowl this year. That's really it. This isn't actual size, but oh, if it were....
Fun With Yahoo Photos
We've all been there. You're at a party, and the big foreign dude who's always banging his head into things has taken a little too many 'shrooms. He's freaking out. He's screaming. "The dragons, man, the dragons, they're EVERYWHERE! I'm sorry, Papa, I'm sorry! Moccasins! Moccasins!"...
Joe Buck, Hilarious Killjoy
If you didn't already suspect this, Fox broadcaster Joe Buck would have the most boring "Cribs" episode ever. In "5 Questions" in today's New York Post, Buck describes his life away from the broadcast booth....
Bob Broeg, R.I.P.
If you'll indulge us a little here, we have to comment on the passing of longtime St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Bob Broeg. He covered St. Louis sports — and, of course, the Cardinals — for 60 years, starting out as the beat reporter for the St. Louis Browns. He wrote more than 20 books about St. ...
