Become A Deadspin Commenter!
Thanks to those great Panthers cheerleaders and, of course, GENERAL EXCELLENCE, we've had a few new people roaming around these parts of late. Welcome. We love you. Let's hug....

Week In Deadspin: We Fought The Lawton
• We broke the Matt Lawton steroid story, wondered what it all meant and then everyone ignored us. Which is fine. We can take it. • People were all over Jason Whitlock, but at least we got a shout-out on ESPN about it. • Page 3 died, and it's very possible it happened weeks ago and nobody noticed....

Week In Deadspin: Get Down Off That Poll!
• Holy crap! The White Sox won the World Series!. • The steroid rumor was confirmed, and then we all had big fun vote on it. • We made guesses on the next gay athlete, and then we voted on that too. Voting is fun. • Two drunk, sad Cardinals fans who are pretty much exactly whom we went to high sch...

Week In Deadspin: Our Day With Stephen A.
• We went to visit the set of "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith" and came back with a newfound respect for the guy. Naw, just kidding. He does dress nice though. • Joe Buck and Todd Zeile, sitting in a tree ... • Holy crap, did you see what Pujols just did? Wow, that's unbelievable! The Cards a...

Comment Invites Are Coming, Worry Not!
Brief note from the home office: If you haven't received your comment invites yet and are offended, don't worry, they're on their way. We just ran low. We make Oddjack swelter in tiny hallway by the boiler room, slaving over a hot stove to produce these invites for you, so he's grinding away on pr...

Announcement: Deadspin Comments Are Here. Behave!
Well, you can't yell at us about this anymore (or maybe now you can!): We at Deadspin proudly present Deadspin Comments, on all posts starting, like, now. Like the other sites in our sadistic Gawker family, all commenters require an invitation, lest the whole enterprise turn into an angry Minnesot...

Week in Deadspin: Time For BoSox And Yanks To PARTY!
• The season couldn't end fast enough for Keith Foulke, swordsman! • It's Ozzie Guillen's playoffs, and we're all just squirrels trying to get nuts. Or something like that. • The Yankees were eliminated, and the entire online world did cartwheels. Fortunately, Yankees fans can spell. • "ESPN Holly...

Week in Deadspin: Thanks, Kyle!
• Kyle Orton and his buddies Jack and Daniel give us enough traffic that we are currently sunbathing on a beach in Boise. It's nice here. Orton says he's sorry, by the way. No need, Kyle! • Jesus don't want Josh McCown for a sunbeam. He would like Cheetos to replenish themselves, however. • Is Cha...

Week in Deadspin: Brokeback Mountain Men
• Wildly irresponsible rumors about Peyton Manning and Kenny Chesney. Nice hats, gentlemen. • We saw Bill Simmons and Chuck Klosterman hang out together online, and then we saw it in person. And then Bill deconstructed himself better than we ever could. • Etan Thomas loves analyzing Abe Pollin's p...

Week In Deadspin: Is Manny Wearing A Ron Mexico Jersey?
• You thought Ryan Farnsworth was bad. You thought Bronson Arroyo tarting it up with college students who aren't his wife was bad. You thought that A-Rod and his wife living as closet swingers was bad. Until you have seen Manny Ramirez teaching people how to dance, you ain't seen nothing. NOTHING!...

Week In Deadspin: We All Wear Masks
• Ed Hochuli ... JACKED UP! • Baseball players need motivational posters too. • John Marvel did not shoot pepper spray on you in a parking lot, so stop asking. • Tom Brady tried to get it on with an Olsen twin. That's awesome. • We repeat: Bill Simmons got his first boner from Cheryl Ladd. We just...

Week In Deadspin: Anybody Watching Sports This Week?
• Matt Leinart is hitting the books hard this year. • The NFL Network hates stoners, but doesn't mind wife-beaters. • Hey, speaking of wife beaters! • Oliver Stone and Jose Canseco, together at last. • Stat nerds are apparently chopping their penises off. • The trophy wife as cheerleader. • As a pat...
