Deadspin's College Football Top 25 Or So: Happy Ann Arbor Day!

The Late-October Best Picture Oscars Predictions You've Been Waiting For
Coverage of the Oscars has reached tail-wagging-dog proportions in recent years: Rather than an awards show looking back at a year of films and choosing the best of them, the Academy Awards have become the journey and the destination. Not only do movies exist solely to win Oscars, but there are whol...

Steve Francis Is Being Sued For $9,000 In Missed Payments On A 1964 Ford Thunderbird
We haven't heard from Steve Francis in a while. Last we checked in, he was being welcomed like a king in China—then left his team after playing less than 14 minutes. Seems he's living back in Houston (in a pretty nice house, so don't worry about Stevie), and buying classic cars, and, allegedly, not ...

Mizzou's Corporate Card Was Used For $7,600 At A Vegas Strip Club
Missouri, like many schools, handed out credit cards to athletics department employees and trusted them not to abuse the privilege. Anyone who's ever had a corporate card can guess how that worked out: strip clubs and steakhouses. After an external audit of the program's finances, they're cracking d...
Report: Carlton Fisk Was Arrested On Suspicion Of DUI In The Middle Of A Corn Field
Every October baseball marvels at itself and its history. Sometimes the history at which the game marvels includes Carlton Fisk's home run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, when Fisk hit a twelfth-inning walk-off to force a seventh game. That happened 37 years ago Sunday. This, from Monday, report...
The Giants' Pennant Run Ended Right As Rain
How many LCS clinchers, not involving your team, do you actually remember? Carlos Beltran standing stock-still, Aaron Boone going deep, Sid Bream's slide, Chris Chambliss's homer...and that's probably about it. It's probably fair to add last night's Giants win, a 9-0 drubbing that was decided by th...
"3 words... FIRE MIKE MATHENY": The Best Fans In Baseball Are Having A Major Meltdown

Your NLCS Game 7 Open Thread
There are not many words to describe a Game 7. "Awesome" would be a good place to start and finish. The Cardinals jumped out to a 3-1 series lead, riding whatever Tony LaRussa magic potion/moonshine he left in the office but the Giants have battled back to force this decisive game. Joe Buck and Tim...
This Florida Fan's Spooky Stare During Saturday's Game Might Be The Scariest Thing You See This Halloween Season

Lil Wayne Sang "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" At Last Night's Cardinals-Giants Game
A lady in a ridiculous hat singing "God Bless America" wasn't the only crazy thing to happen during the seventh inning stretch last night. The San Francisco Giants also welcomed Lil Wayne onto the field, where he led the crowd in a less than rousing rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame."...

Boxers Are Allowed To Choose Whether To Fight Opponents Who Have Failed Multiple Drug Tests, And One Chose Correctly Last Night
During the run-up to his fight against Danny Garcia at the Barclays Center Saturday night, Erik Morales failed two consecutive drug tests, testing positive for clenbuterol, the PED that got Alberto Contador stripped of the 2010 Tour de France title. He then passed a drug test on Friday night, meanin...
Florida Gators Coach Will Muschamp Can't Control The VOLUME OF HIS VOICE
The Florida Gators put a beating on South Carolina yesterday in what many expected to be the marquee match-up of the day. At halftime, the Gators were up 21-6, so local radio might reasonably have expected a positive and mellow interview from a pleasantly surprised Florida coach....
