Free Darko Previews: Dwyane Wade
As established, we're dangerously close to the start of the NBA season, with all its drama storylines and sturm und drang and months of madness. To us, part of the beauty of the NBA is that its focus, while ultimately on the team, falls on the individual. The plight of one player becomes an epic tal...
End of the Line for Curtis Martin?
Nice - if, you know, it turns out to be true - scoop from the Newark Star-Ledger:...
EPSNU "Gay" Announcer Not Happy
Honestly, we were planning on laying off all the gay content for a bit (we can tell how riled up it gets you), but this just came in over the wire:...
Bigfoot Exposed?
We have no idea whether or not Bigfoot is real; heck, half the time we doubt the existence of our paperboy. But there is one brave group who is keeping the faith, and now they claim to have proof. BIRO (the Bigfoot Investigators and Researchers Organization) is blowing the lid off of this whole co...
It's An Intriguing Night In Prince Country
Kind of a quietly fascinating game tonight on "Monday Night Football:" The Patriots, who keep winning even though no one's particularly impressed by them, travel to face the Vikings, who have attempted to fix their sex boat-related woes by hiring a bald mustached man who appears to have never had se...
Please Heed These Tips For A Safe And Fun Halloween
This is for all of you Halloween revelers who are planning on being clever tomorrow night and dress up like Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. And you know who you are. We see you with the Paul Hogan hat and the toy sting ray and the too-tight khaki shorts, and we're begging you to stop. My God, man...

Ain't No Love In The Loo
As many have pointed out already, the World Series didn't just decide who the 2006 champion was; it apparently established the most dangerous city in America. If the national anthem singers at Busch Stadium are to be trusted, this shouldn't be too much of a surprise. The nasty turf wars between Bill...
Hirshey: The Return Of Rooney
David Hirshey writes regularly for Deadspin about soccer....
Perhaps The Receiver Just Didn't Want To Be Gay
This is my new favorite awkward silence of all time. All that's audible is vacant crowd noise, but if you listen hard enough, you can hear the play-by-play guy thinking, "Well, what the hell am I supposed to say now?" and the other guy, ESPNU's Brian Kinchen, thinking, "Uh oh."...
Red Auerbach Passes Away
I'm too young and to fully appreciate the aura of Red Auerbach, but I do know that anyone willing to fire up a cigar on the bench before the game was over is a bad-ass. Red also coached the Boston Celtics to nine NBA championships, eight of them in a row... which also doesn't hurt his image as a b...
Workin' The Merkin
I couldn't wait for the first Hugh Johnson Update to get this up. What you see above, courtesty of Longhorn Nation, is a sign that accuses Lee Corso of wearing a "merkin." A merkin, for the uninitiated, is... well, I'll let Wikipedia explain:...
And If You Hate The Cardinals...
I'd like to help accommodate you, as well. Here's a clip of Scott Spiezio and David Eckstein that they might not be so proud of (courtesy of The Wade Blogs). Spiezio and Eckstein made an appearance on "She Spies," a show starring Natasha Henstridge that lasted about a week and a half on NBC... and t...

Brady Quinn, Friend To The Gays, Or Just Idol?
In the newest issue of Interview magazine, Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, handsome man of leisure, spreads 'em and smiles big in a big photo feature. Brady looks all playful and chiseled and Notre Dame-y, we guess. You might notice, when you look at the pictures, that Brady is shot rather, oh, ...
Would You Like Claws With That?
Todd Haley is the receivers coach for the Dallas Cowboys, which means, as is, his life is pretty much terrible. He also doesn't have much time to cook, since he apparently only takes his family out for McDonald's. That's bad enough, but even worse when they McSalad has a huge freaking rat in it....
Bored Cadets Remake "Rudy"
From the invaluable and irreplaceable Every Day Should Be Saturday comes this video, made by cadets at the Naval Academy to pump up their team — we guess — for the game against Notre Dame on Saturday. We're really not sure what we can do with this; should we, like, send them a Penthouse or something...
Welcome To The NBA; We Don't Want No Trouble
David Stern would like to remind you that, per the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, guns are not allowed in The Spectrum; or any other NBA facility. So just hand those over ... nice and slow ... and you can pick them up on your way out. Um, the one in your boot, too....

How Freddie Spent His Weekend
In case you were wondering what former Philadelphia Eagles shitball Freddie Mitchell is up to ... he's out taunting fans at UCLA games from the stands! Hey, sure beats playing; we understand, Freddie....
