All Hail Davidson, Our Link To Why This Is Fun
If Florida hadn't have won the NCAA Title again last year, it would be safe to say that it would be difficult to remember who was the 2006 NCAA Champion. That's because 2006 was the year of George Mason, and the Final Four itself — which, you may recall, was lousy that year — was just a sidebar to ...
Baseball Season Preview: Boston Red Sox
For the third consecutive season, we are proud to introduce the Deadspin Baseball Season Previews. Yes, baseball is awfully close now; heck, they're playing real games in Japan tomorrow....
Does Anybody Buy What Memphis Is Selling Anymore?
A "bold" proclamation: If Memphis doesn't at least make the Final Four this year, no matter what their record is next year, they're not getting a No. 1 seed. The team has looked downright wobbly so far and just about blew it yesterday. Though at least Derrick Rose was able to keep playing past the f...
ESPN's Featured Comment Of The Day
ESPN scoured its message boards this morning to find its cleverest, boldest, most enlightening comment, and chose this one above all others ......
Heck, Those Heels Are Out Of Control, Consarn It
Silly East Regional, with your whole going-according-to-seed business: This absolutely will not do. That said, of the four teams hanging around Charlotte next week — wait ... is that North Carolina ... in Charlotte? Boo! — a definitive pecking order has already emerged. That is to say: Don't bet on ...
UCLA's Non-Foul, And Huggy Bear Sober In The Sweet 16
We had no idea there were so many Texas A&M basketball fans out there, but boy, has our inbox been full with people sending us the above photo. Yeah: That kind of looks like a foul....
Drogba Blows Kisses, Hirshey Blows
Didier Drogba and Chelsea just finished off Arsenal at the Bridge 2-1, moving the home team in to second on the table. Drogba scored two goals in the second half to bring the Blues back from a one goal deficit. Chelsea now stands just five points shy of Manchester, and speaking of them......
Things That Draw In Denver When Attendance Is Dead
As you may or may not know (probably the latter) the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche aren't doing so well from a financial standpoint. Hell, the Broncos have already begun downsizing. For some reason the city of Denver isn't stuffing enough cash into the coffers of their pro franchises. Of cou...
Scheduling a Huge Sunday In Sports
Apparently the e-Cameron Crazies are not handling the loss very well over at the Duke Basketball Forums. Perhaps one day they will recover. Fortunately the rest of us are ready to move on, and we have an amazing day of sports waiting for us. Continue after the jump for a full breakdown of the day's...
March Madness Up All Night
The night games are finally wrapping up, and the late night session is already underway off in Denver. My Pitt Panthers, led by the one and only Levance Fields, is matched up against a tough Michigan State team and I will not be live blogging for fear of getting way too emotional. I've long been a S...

Shaking Up the Eastern Conference
Last night the Magic bounced back from a loss to the Wizards to best the 76ers in a game that featured 22 different scorers. Although nobody on either team notched more than 18 points each team received scoring contributions from 11players with eight of Orlando's 11 scoring in double figures. Rasha...
Ovechkin Hits the Magical 60! (It's Hockey)
Normally I'm not one to drone on about hockey, but Alex Ovechkin is deserving of some serious love. Washington's franchise player franchise reached a key milestone while leading the Capitals to within a point of the final playoff spot. I'm not sure I'm qualified to tell you the details, so I'll let...
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...
Shooting Weapons On Campus Is Always A Good Idea
This is Jorge Reyes, the Most Outstanding Player of last year's College World Series for the Oregon State Beavers. The Beavers are the two-time defending national champions, and they kind of rule the roost a bit over there. They also like to just randomly fire weaponry on campus. Hey, sometimes you ...
Woody Allen Explains How Baseball Gloves Are Made
If you enjoy hearing kids repeat the word "leather" over and over (vaguely creepy), seeing Jonathan Winters in a Reds' uniform (like Frank TV, only funny), or listen to Woody Allen explain how to play second base, then you'll enjoy this old episode of Hot Dog; a Saturday morning kids' show from the ...
All Our Mother Does Is Work. That's How You Get To Be Spanish.
