Saying Goodbye To Rick Ankiel, Once Again
With all the activity in the world of our St. Louis Cardinals over the last week, one story slipped through the cracks a bit: Terminally tortured "prospect" Rick Ankiel, who is now 26 years old and can hardly be classified a prospect anymore, underwent surgery on his left knee and will miss the re...
Lord Stanley Sashays Over To NBC
In case you haven't noticed (and judging by the ratings, you haven't *), the Carolina Hurricanes have opened up a 2-0 lead against the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals. The series moves back to Edmonton (and back to network television) this evening....
All Right, Maybe It's Time To Panic
OK, we have clearly attempted to keep our wits about us during this whole Albert Pujols injury situation ... but we're officially out on the ledge now....
Defending Mr. Cooper
So we've been thinking about the $500,000 bond required of the victimized Mike Cooper, and we did a little search through Google News for some comparisons....
Carl Lewis Cordially Invites You To Tell Him How Great He Is
Ah, Carl Lewis. Where would we be without his dulcet tones? We'd be awfully sad, that's what....
Carl Monday Will Have You Locked In Jail With The Key Thrown Away
A commenter brought this up yesterday, but we still cannot believe it: Mike Cooper, the 23-year-old dreamer with the sad misfortune of unleashing his lonely penis within a four-mile radius of Carl Monday, is being held on $500,000 bond after his arrest for indecency charges. You heard that correct...
Free Personality Test! (The Race Will Cost You, Though)
Outstanding find from The Mighty MJD: Apparently, the Church of Scientology is sponsoring a NASCAR team at a race in California. Well, actually, it's not the church sponsoring the car; it's founder L. Ron Hubbard's book "Dianetics," which, phew, has nothing to do with Scientology at all....
Your Halfhearted Stanley Cup Pants Party
We have felt somewhat guilty around these parts for our almost total lack of Stanley Cup coverage. We have meant no offense; we just don't get a particularly strong "Holy crap, the Stanley Cup finals are starting tonight! Gooooo Hurricanes!" vibe. In fact, since the NHL playoffs started, we've recei...
In The Oblique Wake ...
OK, we figure we're probably ready to talk about this now....
The Closer: The Cubs; Good For What Ails Ya
Notes from a day in baseball:...
A Most Painful Oblique Injury
And baseball highlights on SportsCenter just got a lot less interesting. Albert Pujols, as it turns out, really is human. He's got a right oblique strain, and he'll be on the shelf for a while. At least two weeks. Perhaps up to six. Perhaps even longer. If Deadspin.com goes dark tomorrow, it's bec...
Lamenting The Loss Of Harry, Once Again
For some reason — perhaps it's the Cardinals-Cubs series tonight — but we started becoming rather nostalgic and wistful about Harry Caray today. We're not sure why. Jack Buck was always our favorite announcer anyway. Maybe it's just because we don't have many Harrys anymore; people who are liable to...
BREAKING: If That's Wrong, We Don't Want To Be Right!
This just in: You really don't want to mess with Carl Monday....
You Know, He Could Be Behind You ... RIGHT NOW!
An ingenious reader put this together, the first Dilbert parody we've ever found amusing....
NASCAR Shocks!
A reader sends us this picture, which he took of NASCAR veteran Rusty Wallace at The Sanctuary, a golf resort in Charleston, S.C. He didn't think much about it until he got home and noticed Wallace's shirt....
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...
Carson Palmer's Charitable Contributions
From what we understand from various Cincinnati residents, the act of "cornholing" is quite big in the area....
NASCAR Gets An Asterisk Of Its Own
When the Coca-Cola 600 kicks off later today, Michael Waltrip will make his 262nd consecutive start, which ranks sixth on the all-time list. But I'm favor of adding a big fat asterisk to Waltrip's spot on the list, because he didn't earn his spot, he bought it....
The Most Brilliant Thing You'll See All Day
So a local television station in Cleveland decided to put together an "investigative report" on the dangers of allowing your children to go to the public library....
