Introducing The Consumerist
We are most proud to introduce you to Gawker Media's newest assault on your synapses: The Consumerist, the 14th Gawker Media site (we used to be the 14th site around here, but then Oddjack went away, and now we're unlucky No. 13. Great). The Consumerist, helmed by the mucho-capable Joel Johnson, w...
Not Even Playmates Can Watch The Eagles
It is not a fun time to be a Philadelphia Eagles fan, a fact that has been recognized by the fine folks at the Philadelphia Eagles "Blog Squad." How ever to juice up assuredly sagging Sitemeter rankings?...
Blogdome: Defending Garcia, DD Style
• When Playmates are calling in to defend your quarterbacking, life ain't too bad. [MLive] • All retro uniforms should require players to wear the short shorts. That's hysterical, and we agree. [ChicagoSports] • Isiah Thomas signed Qyntel Woods. Figures. [The Airing Of Grievances] • The Black Mamba?...
Blogdom's Best: Dallas Cowboys
It's a melancholic yet festive time here at Deadspin Studios as we say goodbye to one of our regular features, the NFL Edition of Blogdom's Best.

Florida State's Diligent Student Body

Keeping The Streets Safe From Waltons
Of all the celebrities who showed up at the USC-UCLA game last weekend, it must have been easy to miss Luke Walton, Lakers bit player and son of Big Bill Walton. But not for long. As reported by USC's From The Sidelines blog, the younger Walton was booted off the sidelines last weekend for not ha...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. NFL with Chris Mortensen: Finally, a chance to ask Chris Mortensen a question! I've dreamed of this day. Ummm ... hmm. Yeah. ... Give me a minute. I'm sure something will come to me. • Noon. NBA with John Hollinger: I present t...
Anna Benson Will Fight For Her Right For Fur
While doing some followup "research" after yesterday's Anna Benson dustup, we came across her official Web site, and, more specifically, her angry "Letter To Peta" found at the bottom of the site's front page. (It's one of them fancy Flash sites, so we can't link you here. Just go there and check ...

Well, this is a nice day: The video of the Michael Irvin arrest a week-and-a-half ago has been released. It, as you might expect, makes for compelling viewing. Dallas' NBC-5 recounts the details....
Some Folks Call It A Slider, Mmm-Hmm
Imagine, say, Michael Brown getting another job in disaster relief, or, maybe, Harriet Miers being renominated to the Supreme Court. Pretty much the real-world equivalents of Grady Little being hired as manager of the Dodgers yesterday....
Don't Count Rickey Out Yet
So we spent most of the day yesterday wondering why ESPN was reporting that our beloved Rickey Henderson had retired, even though not a single other media outlet had picked it up and it wasn't on ESPN.com. They even did one of those generically rocking montages that ESPN does so well....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while Googling yourself ... • College Basketball: Michigan State gives Dan Shaughnessy something to complain about today.

• Word on the street is that Burnett will sign with Jays for $55 million. [Blue Jay Way] • Young says he deserves Heisman. That's good enough for us. [USC Trojan Football] • U.S. misses being World Cup seed by one point. One lousy, stinking point. Crap. [Baltimore Sun] • Carmelo Anthony fined $5,000...
Athlete Run-In: Sammy Sosa, Way Back When
Today's final athlete run-in story is about the late, great Sammy Sosa. Wait, Sammy Sosa isn't dead, you say? Well, you could of fooled us; the guy is a couple of tattoes and a miniskirt away from Rodman country. (Yesterday he begged baseball media to pay attention to him by saying he's going to s...
The Jet Lag Games
We'll admit: All this talk about the World Baseball Classic is starting to get us somewhat all a-twitter. Not only are we being promised meaningful baseball a month early, but everyone appears to be showing up: Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, even Roger Clemens, delaying his I'll-retir...
