Purple In The Morning, Blue In The Afternoon And Orange In The Evening
Soon, millions of people will see us, and they'll all like us. We'll tell them about you, and your father, how good he was to us. Remember? It's a reason to get up in the morning. It's a reason to lose weight ... to fit in the red dress. It's a reason to smile. It makes tomorrow all right. What have...
Hello, Boston!

You're With Us, Shameless Consumerism

Goodyear? No, The Worst
Well, sorry, but when we see five weirdos dressed in togas, stabbing a man in the middle of the park in front of a full view of 100 people, we shoot the bastards. That's our policy....
We're Hitting The Road
One of the best parts of this job is that we can do it from anywhere. We don't have an office, and even though we spend most of the time on our couch, that's more out of choice than of necessity. We could be in Boise, Boston or Bangkok doing this site, and no one would know, and it would not matter....
Week In Deadspin: Hello, Horsehide

You'll Find A Pair Of Safety Glasses And Some Earplugs Under Your Seat. Please Feel Free To Use Them.
You sponsors have it real easy. We never had it like this where we grew up. But we send our kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich, and you're going to stay rich. But here's our advice to the rest of ...
Week In Deadspin: Contracting The Bensons
• Officer Selig Fife is finally on the case. • "Bristol Is Big Ten Country" • George Mason Fever is a contagious condition, and if you don't stop scratching, it'll never go away. • Way too much information from Roger Clemens and Peter King. • The Duke lacrosse team story went from horrifying to "h...
Don't Call Us Stupid

We Know. And Such Small Portions.
Hey, sponsors: Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? We think of us that way sometimes and we live here....
Week In Deadspin: Stimulation Overload
We were kind of into the NCAA tournament around here this week. And as you can tell from this picture, so was Northwestern State. (Though, uh, watch that hand, buddy.)...
Week In Deadspin: Just 48 Hours From Selection Sunday
• We went to go see John Rocker, and he, of course, struck us out. • Sam Walker is a bigger fantasy baseball dork than you are. • So, Barry, how was your week? • We said goodbye to Kirby Puckett. • You can't count on watching all those tourney games online. • We still can't believe Don Nelson was ...
Deadspin Tourney Sign Up Sheet
Teams OFFICIALLY in the tournament are in bold. Teams listed not in bold are considered "close to lock" status. Any team without a name next to it is available. Teams will obviously be added as they become locks and/or win their conference tournaments. If you want to write a school's Three Tiny Tidb...
The Sponsors Abide
Nihilists! Sponsors! Fuck me. We mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos. Let us tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, we'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull t...
Uh, Today Obviously Kind Of Sucks
Obviously, our massive tech issues from yesterday have been anything but resolved; in fact, they're decidedly worse today. We're told this is happening to all the Gawker Media sites, so we're not alone in theis wilderness....
Excuse Our Virtual Dust
We're sorry about all the problems everyone is having getting into the site today, by the way. We've noticed, and we apologize. We're told it has something to do with "servers" and "FTPs" and all kinds of other terms we do not understand....
Who's Got Bracket Fever?
We're just five days away from Selection Sunday — which, in combination with the season premiere of "The Sopranos," is pretty much more fun than any day should be allowed to be — and we're still working on our big NCAA Tournament Project. (All teams remain signed up for. Honestly, you guys rule.)...
