JaVale McGee Has NBA Upside, Says Mommy
It seems like a safe bet to say that Nevada center JaVale McGee will be a first round pick in the NBA Draft this summer. He has a 7-foot body, is athletic, and Chad Ford has him at No. 17 in his prospect rankings. Pretty admirable, no? But clearly this level-headed analysis is selling the precious M...

Nothing Happened The Way It Was Supposed To Happen
All right, let us tell you about your "God's plan." Six billion people on Earth when the infection hit. KV had a ninety-percent kill rate, that's five point four billion people dead. Crashed and bled out. Dead. Less than one-percent immunity. That left twelve million healthy people, like you, us, an...

At Least He's Not Out Taking Illegal Drugs Or Making Some Woman Miserable
When we were — what was it — about five or six? - we were sexually attracted to Bugs Bunny. And we - we cut out this Bugs Bunny off the cover of a comic book and carried it around with us. Carried it around in our pocket and took it out and looked at it periodically, and — and it got all wrinkled up...

The Best $187 Million Ever Spent
As Isiah Thomas and the Knicks attempt to finish up their disastrous season and wait to find out what new GM Donnie Walsh will do to rejuvenate the team, it'd probably be a good idea to make sure he doesn't read this Portfolio.com article on how much Isiah has cost the Knicks. The magazine estimates...

The Nationals' New Stadium Looks Rather Spiffy
I've been to two new stadium opening days in my life — Safeco Field and Pac Bell (now AT&T) Park — but I wish I could have made it a third in D.C. on Sunday. There's nothing like that new-stadium smell; even the restrooms are minty fresh. Following the jump, a few photos from the Nationals' Opening...
Someone Should Have Canseco Throw Out The First Pitch Somewhere
• A busy week for Joe Lavin. Oh, and for Jose Canseco. Not that you really cared. • Pat Jordan! • Don't make Isiah go away. • That might have been a foul. • Drew was certainly on his game this week. • Blit Meat! • The Emo UCLA Fan. • The Red Sox, A's split in Japan. • Please make Jay Mariotti feel b...

You shouldn't forget the importance of entertainment....
Amazingly, No Perfect Brackets, On Earth
Well, we're sorry to say, for all those who have become tired of our ramblings over here, that we will remain editor of Deadspin; with just one weekend gone in the tournament, none of the 3,472 entries in our bracket contest has nailed every game. Alas; our offer will stand for next year as well....
That's a Shame!

A Rather Shining Moment In The First Round
• Eliot Spitzer and David Hirshey, soccer pals. • Our new "pal," Bob Costas. • Apparently, some folks aren't happy with ESPN. • Kige Ramsey, charity hero. (Oh, and no bids yet.) • Mark Cuban remains the only blogger allowed in the Mavs' locker room. • Hey, the brackets came out. • We had a few game...
