Even Steve Spurrier Was Not Impressed With Erin Andrews At First
Erin Andrews has had a lot of critics over the summer (Sterger, Mike Nadel, "Chuges", Deadspin Hall Of Fame voters) all for different reasons, but in an interview with GoGamecocks.com, America's sideline princess reveals that the first time she met Coach Steve Spurrier, he also wasn't about to give ...

Tell Me How My Sass Tastes: Woman Gets Restraining Order Against Shaq For "Stalking"
Just as things started looking up for Shaquille O'Neal (a rejuvenation of his NBA career in Phoenix, a rejuvenation of his rap career, making up with his estranged wife) he might be in store for some troubling times due to the allegations of one Atlanta-based lady who claims The Diesel is "stalking ...
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Erin Andrews
If you're ever bored — or if you're, you know, anything else — I encourage you to check out Deadspin's Erin Andrews archive. The reason sports blogs write so much about Erin Andrews is because there is demand. Put Erin Andrews in a post, and whammo: Instant hit. Just reacting to the market, people ...
Sunday Night Baseball: Padres-Phillies
Will Cole Hamels keep the Phillies in the NL East race? Will Cha Seung Baek prevent San Diego from being the worst team in baseball? Will you even be able to see this live blog? These queries and few others will be answered once you jump to the rhythm. (Jump jump to the rhythm.) * * * Okay, so nobod...
You Will Never Think Of The Drew Brothers The Same Way Again
I've heard of Star Trek slash fiction, and Starsky & Hutch ... even Harry Potter. But baseball's Drew brothers? Why, Jesus? No, I don't have all the answers. But I would like to point out that the author at Live Journal is not twisted and sick, as one might expect. He's just a misunderstood artist t...
Mike Nadel Keeps His Erin Andrews Takedown Fame Afloat For One More Day
Mike Nadel has had an interesting couple of weeks after his feisty Erin Andrews column made the rounds and became the nexus of debate for both female and male sports reporters across the country.

Bela Karolyi Wants to Train Your Babies
Famed U.S. Olympic gymnastics coach Bela Karolyi is not a fan of little girls. At least not ones who can beat his team in the Olymics. Karolyi is raising a fuss about the ages of the Chinese gymnast, claiming that they do not appear to be the competition legal age of 16. Clearly the world's most fam...
San Diego Padres Owner Loses Owner's Box After Wife Files For Divorce
At least for April, May, June, and July. Which given the Padres start to the season was probably a blessing in disguise. Now John Moores is fighting to regain custody of the box. (Yeah, I know.) But his wife doesn't want to give up the box. (Ditto.) And the attorneys are up in arms trying to equita...
The Questionable Madness Of Shawn Andrews
Shawn Andrews has always been a different type of guy. The line on him through most reporters is this: he's got his quirks, but he's a helluva football player and a really decent human being. Often times he's described as child-like (his nickname is the "Big Kid" after all, and he has a room in his ...
Jay Mariotti Is Erin Andrews' Knight In Shining Shlubby
On Thursday's "Around The Horn, " there was a brief mention of Erin Andrews at the end of the show, just as the credits rolled, and Mariotti could be heard yelling something to the effect of "Why would bring her up today of all days?" This, to me, indicated that the controversies surrounding the sid...
Hitler Is Pretty Much Fed Up With The Brett Favre Situation
This isn't the first time someone has added subtitles to this scene from the German film Downfall for parody goodness (see below). Best part: When Hitler asks all Jets, Buccaneers and Vikings fans to leave the room, and about three quarters of the general staff depart. I had no idea! Here's a soc...
The Erin Andrews Floozy-Dress Mess Gets Dissected From All Angles
When the Minneapolis Star Tribune's Michael "Randball" Rand got Erin Andrews to discuss her thoughts on the infamous Mike Nadel column, not only was it a great get for him, but it also showed a testier, more defensive side of EA. "I think my overall reaction is that it's really sad that in 2008 … I ...
Padres Shortstop Khalil Greene Out For Season After Punching a Storage Chest
Yep, he broke his left hand. Anyone who has ever punched a wall, a door, or any other inanimate object that hasn't actually done anything to you, is wincing right now. Because but for the puny amount of force your punch mustered, you too could have broken a bone in your hand and looked like an incr...
Mike Nadel Got Your E-mail And Is Actually Quite A Reasonable Fellow
Yesterday's column by Mike Nadel caused a major stir in the sports blogatorium and sports media in general when he crucified America's favorite sideline princess, Erin Andrews, for her wardrobe and flirtatious reporting style while she was covering the last game in the Cubs/Brewers series Wednesday ...
The Erin Andrews Backlash Has Officially Begun
It's amazing it took this long for one stodgy journalist to write a column about Erin Andrews' presence in the locker room which, as we all know, becomes its own story among the sports blogging masses anytime she pops up on the screen. But this is a first. Mike Nadel, a Chicago news service columnis...
Hmm, Hard To Believe This Kid Turned Out To Be A Twit
Like many of you I suspect, I got my first look at Andrew Giuliani during his dad's mayoral inauguration speech in 1994. As my grandfather always said, "You get the kids you deserve." (Abe Vigoda there in the background in photo No. 2 does not look amused). You probably know by now that Andrew is su...
Looking for Why Gators Are Dominant? It Starts In Erin Andrews' Bed
Because, you see, the team is successful because Erin has realized that if she strips the bed of all pillows and comforters then good things happen. And occasionally, for superstitious reasons, she has the other girls over for sex-toy slumber parties and they exchange lingerie tips and...this is to...
