Miss Teen South Carolina Has Discovered The Map To Our Hearts
She captivated the nation with her controversial stances on maps, and "the Iraq, everywhere such as." Yesterday we showed you the video of her performance at the Miss Teen USA Pageant, and like the rest of "U.S. Americans," you instantly fell in love. Now, here's more of Miss Teen South Carolina Lau...
NFL Season Preview: Carolina Panthers
Believe it or not, folks, the NFL season is much closer than you can possibly imagine. So close, in fact, that, if we're going to fit in every NFL team preview by the start of the season, running one every weekday, we have to start this week. So there you have it....
Keyshawn's Final Moments As A Panther
If you want to relieve the sublime comedy of Keyshawn Johnson's "excitement" after learning that the Carolina Panthers drafted his "buddy" Dwayne Jarrett — thus securing his release from the team — the video above has the complete footage. It was funny at the time, but it improves considerably knowi...
Naked Swimmers Dancing
When you're a swimmer at the University of South Carolina, we suspect life can become boring from time to time. Therefore, one must streak!...
There Are Ways To Support Your Brother That Don't Involve Murder
I really wish Demetrius M. Pepper was either less devoted to his brother, or better at stealing cars. Pepper shot and killed a 60-year-old woman, and shot a store clerk, in the process of stealing their cars so he could get to South Carolina's spring game and watch his brother Nathan, a junior Gamec...
Fun With Misprinted T-Shirts
This seems to happen every year, but we still get a kick out of it: It's the Final Four T-shirt that gets put together a wee bit too early. Forgive Hoyas fans who buy this as a taunting joke and Tar Heels fans who grab it just to imagine what might have been, had they remembered the basic tenet of p...
That's A Whole Lot Of Points
That was a lively little half of basketball. The pace, you'd have to think, favors North Carolina. There are 94 points on the board already, a total that has to be as uncomfortable for Georgetown as the 27 dogtags that Patrick Ewing Sr. is wearing....
Sweet 16 Pants Party: North Carolina Vs. USC

Go Heels! MIMI! MIMI!
This is from a North Carolina fanboard — and from Matt Viser's upcoming North Carolina Sweet 16 preview — but we absolutely cannot stop laughing at it. Tyler Hansbrough ... MIMI!!...

Bad Tar Heels, Bad!
Anyone who's married or in serious relationship can vouch for the difficulty of mixed allegiances; when you're a Cardinals girl, it's gonna be difficult sometimes for you to deal with a Cubs boy. (And not just because of all the crying.) Yankees fans and Red Sox fans can't mate; it's against the law...
North Carolina Tar Heels
1. What's in a nickname? Monikers flow in a locker room like coffee in a diner. You're more than familiar with Carolina's first-team All-American, Tyler "Psycho T" Hansbrough. But can you recall the only player strong enough to hold Hansbrough in check this season? That would be unsung senior Dewey ...
It Is Not Wise To Welch On Mayoral Bets
So here's a bad idea: When you're the mayor of a team that's playing in the NFC Championship game, and you're on the line with the opposing city's radio flagship, it's not a good idea to make promises you can't keep....
Tar Heel Blue Nation Seeing Red Today, Not Surprisingly
A lot of vitriol flowing around the Web this morning, most of it aimed at Gerald Henderson and Duke. But none seemed more perturbed at the roundhouse elbow to the probiscus of Tyler Hansbrough than the Tar Heels men's cheerleading squad, who were in Henderson's face, dude! You do not want to anger p...
Billy Packer, Information Dissemination Specialist
Of all the "Sweet Christ, Billy Packer is so full of equine excrement" moments, we have to say, the "Just Going For The Ball!" foul from Gerald Henderson on Tyler Hansbrough at the end of the Duke-UNC game is definitely near the top of the list. Whatever your thoughts on the reason for Henderson's a...
Just Call Him Twinkletoes
More proof that Tyler Hansbrough seems more like a Duke guy than a North Carolina guy: He gets pedicures!...
Unbagged Heads Prevail
Will told you earlier in the week about the struggles of the East Carolina basketball team, and their fans' plan to show up at the final home game of the year with bags on their heads. As far as I can tell, last night against UTEP, there were no bags (I can find no mention of them)... and the ECU Pi...
Those Aren't Bags: They're Instruments Of Death
The East Carolina Pirates are having a tough year. They're 5-21, 0-13 in Conference USA, they've lost 13 in a row and 19 of their last 20, and they just lost a heartbreaker to Marshall at home. It's not a good time in Greenville....
Blythe: Billy Packer's Greatest Moment
We are quite honored today to welcome once again Will Blythe, the former literary editor of Esquire and author of the great book "To Hate Like This Is To Be Happy Forever", to the warm embrace of Deadspin. (We interviewed Blythe about the book when it came out in hardcover. The paperback is out now....
