NFL Sunday Open Thread
Your open thread is here and we will be linking back to it throughout the day for your convenience. Early topics include Tony Romo and Mark Sanchez interceptions already and 73-yard wildcat touchdowns thrown by people not named Tim Tebow....
An Arizona Turnover Against Oregon Last Night Resulted In One Of The All-Time Great Sideline Reactions
Oregon obliterated an inexplicably ranked Arizona team 49-0 last night, relying on its rapid-fire offense and five Wildcats turnovers to blow out Rich Rodriguez's squad. (Note to pollsters: beating a team you mistakenly ranked in the preseason shouldn't impress you.)...
Happiness Is An Enormous Bird
Public transportation is a wonderful thing; a cheap way of getting from A to B if you're not in all that much of a hurry, with the added benefit of the entire world on display for you at any given moment. Sometimes you see a homeless woman hunched over the newspapers she is obsessively shredding, s...
Tim Keown's Story On Joe Mauer Wants Minnesota To Get Bent
You're probably used to this sort of subtle cudgel being twirled at cities like New York and Boston, which tend to chew through their heroes just as quickly as they can exalt them. But Tim Keown's piece in the current issue of ESPN The Pulp-Based Periodical is one of the rare stories that quietly ri...
Beer of the Week: Double D Blonde
Once we get past the name of Double D Blonde, the wheaty, quick-drinking blonde ale out of Oregon's Hop Valley Brewing Company, you can appreciate it as a hoppy little number that won't offend you, won't overwhelm you. It's lager-golden and keg-ready at 20 IBU and 4.9 percent abv. It has a sharp not...
Deadspin Up All Night: Satan Is Real
Thank you for your continued purported headstand. Tomorrow: professional football, and I think our good friend Sean may stop by. Tonight: more stuff, probably. If you're not doin' nothing, hang out around here....
Sign Of The Apocalypse
For nearly two decades now, Sports Illustrated has stirred the tea leaves to discern a weekly Sign of the Apocalypse. Deadspin salutes the magazine's ongoing effort to head off the end of times, but declines to quietly cede to SI the scoop on the biggest event in world history....
Clemson Head Football Coach Got Ticketed For Speeding, And The Cop Got Fired
He didn't get fired because he stopped Dabo Swinney for speeding, he got fired because he posted about it on a message board later after feeling that he needed to "clear the air." Why he felt that way is not entirely clear, but, well, would you want to be the cop that gave Clemson's coach a ticket ...
Lance Thomas Settled His Lawsuit, So You Can Probably Forget Any Improper Benefits Scandal At Duke
Remember two weeks ago, when we heard about Lance Thomas having defaulted on a loan meant to pay for $97,000 worth of jewelry, and we got all excited and wrote this?...
Your College Football Open Thread
Early games—I don't know, maybe Virginia at TCU has potential? West Virginia will probably curb stomp Maryland and that could be fun. Don't forget Northwestern Oklahoma State at UT-San Antionio, which you can watch on Nowhere via your handheld Nothing, at 2 p.m....
How To Eat The New Candy Corn Oreo (Which Isn't As Gross As It Sounds)
Candy corn, folks at home: candy corn sucks. This is neither an ideological nor a conceptual complaint; that is to say, candy corn sucks not because it (almost certainly) originated in some steamy, foul-smelling, nightmarish industrial wasteland, or because it is artificially flavored, or because i...

The Mets Would Like To Offer You Two Bucks Off Detergent (If A Statistical Oddity Happens)
Two days ago, the Mets finished a series in a night game that had been rained out the previous Tuesday and rescheduled. Partly because of the rainout and partly because, every fall, fans do with the Mets what the sun does with the earth, there were very few people in attendance to see the Mets get ...
Deadspin Up All Night: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. The Weekend Mob (Sean, Sam, Isaac, and Burke) will be here soon to yuk it up with you....
The Anti-KStew: In Praise Of Jennifer Lawrence
There are many ways to tell if you've become a popular actress. Your name appears above the title on the poster. You're on the covers of magazines. You get an Oscar nomination. Those are all pretty great things. Then, there are those other ways of finding out that you're popular. These are a lot les...

Dead Letters: "You're A Fucking Idiot. Good Luck To You And Your Idiocy."
Welcome back to Dead Letters, the feature in which we reprint our favorite fan mail from throughout the week. It's like Deleted Scenes, but without all the scuzz money. We should take this moment to remind you that all emails to Deadspin and its editors are on the record unless otherwise specified. ...
Manny Pacquiao Will Take A 45-55 Split, So It's Time For Floyd Mayweather To Stop Being A Baby And Fight Him Already
Pacquiao's going to fight Juan Manuel Marquez—yes, again. But every fight Pacquiao has taken for the last few years has something of "when are they going to get to the fireworks factory?" about it. When are we going to get the damn Mayweather fight already?...
With Ink Like This, Who Needs A Shirt?
We mentioned last month that it seems the soccer fans who shouldn't go shirtless are the ones who always do. I wouldn't ascribe that rule to this gentleman, though whatever his physical fitness I'd hate to think he spent all that money on what appears to be Cubist design principals in tattoo form a...
Deadspin Up All Night: Let Me Tell You A Story
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Erik will be here later. Oh, look, there's some football in addition to all that baseball. Fun....
