Like A Blind Man At An Orgy, We Were Going To Have To Feel Our Way Through

Will Barbaro Go To Heaven? It's Up To You
Barbaro is still dead, of course, but even so he needs your help more than ever. The Lexington Herald-Leader is asking readers to vote on whether Barbaro will go to Heaven. We have no idea why the Herald-Leader gets to decide ... sometimes religion confuses us....
Jay Mariotti Can't Figure Out Why Everyone's So NEGATIVE
We enjoyed the countless emails we received yesterday informing us that "Around The Horn" host Tony Reali — an affable fellow whom we imagine being ultra intense about rec league softball, for some reason — yelled out "don't take my Deadspin away from me" at the end of the program yesterday. (Shocki...
Hey, Why Is Kenny Chesney Suddenly Calling Me?
In our original neck of the woods in Mattoon, Ill., NFL loyalties are rather split. Some people root for the Chicago Bears (four hours away), some root for the Indianapolis Colts (90 minutes away) and some odd souls hopped on the Rams bandwagon (two hours away). (Some insane people stuck with the fo...
The Last Of Those Old Spice Polls
You know those Old Spice ads they're running around here, where you can win Final Four tickets? (That's what they tell us, anyway.) Well, here's the last one. Hope you got the first two right, we guess....
The Dakota Wizards Know How To Party
Not much on this sporting planet more glamorous than the NBA's Development League, nope. As evidence of the league's ability to raise the profile of a mere basketball player into an international superstar of unqualified proportions, we present this DraftExpress diary of Rod Benson, former Cal Golde...
Also, He Hired Snipers Outside The Training Facility, Just To Make It "Interesting"
What boxers put themselves through while training for a fight can border on the inhuman; if Rocky IV is to be believed, it's so rough that sometimes they're forced to grow a beard just to survive. Current world cruiserweight champion O'Neil Bell added a new wrinkle to the training process: throwing ...
Todd Bozeman Is Disappointed In Your Selection Of Deli Meat
We had to hold this story until the end of the day, because we can't stop laughing about it. Remember Todd Bozeman, the former California Golden Bears basketball coach who was fired and banned by the NCAA for eight years for paying a recruit's family $30,000. Well he's back coaching again, at Morgan...
Yes, It Was A Good Night For The Colt
In case you were wondering how Bear Vs. Colt turned out, here's your answer: With the Colt in bed with an attractive blond woman. That sounds about right....
Daulerio at SBXLI: Do Not Bother Matt Geiger When He's Talking To Penthouse Pets
AJ Daulerio has been Deadspin's "correspondent" all week at the Super Bowl in Miami. He wraps up his coverage today with two tales. The first is from the Penthouse Party on Friday night....
It Washes Away Memories From The Sidewalks Of Life
When we look back at Super Bowl XLI in a few years, what will we remember most? The Sex Cannon's free-flying vertical missives into the night? Tony Dungy at last setting race relations straight in this country? Jimmy Fallon sitting next to Janet Reno on a couch? We figure the lasting image of Super ...
Super Bowl Blogdome: 'My Answer To Everything Is Just Go Suck On It'
What they're saying about Super Bowl XLI, the morning after ......
Perhaps He Was Looking Forward Too Much To Next New Years Eve
We know this has been beaten into the ground by now, but really do consider it instructive to think of not only of the Indianapolis Colts as the St. Louis Cardinals, but also the Chicago Bears as the Detroit Tigers. In the former example, a team that had earned much recent success finally won a cham...
Your Uninspiring Super Bowl Champion Colts
In one of the duller, more sloppy Super Bowls we can remember — it was kind of the equivalent of this year's World Series, actually — the Indianapolis Colts have won the NFL Championship. We're back from our labors — and labors they were indeed — at CBS and happy to back here. Congratulations, India...
Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 4th Quarter
- Hey, don't forget the Pro Bowl is this Saturday at 6:00 on CBS. Mark your calendars. And Will wanted me to tell you that he's asked for the opportunity to glog that one live on CBS SportsLine. We'll let you know if that happens....
Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 3rd Quarter
- We're underway... the Colts take the kickoff, and Terrence Wilkins dances and steps it out across the 35-yard-line. And yeah, it's been exciting and entertaining, but... I really wouldn't mind seeing a team keep the ball for more than a couple of minutes at a time in this half....
Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: Halftime
- Liveblogging a halftime show is a first for me. I'm sticking here with Prince, but if anyone has any pictures of the Lingerie Bowl that they feel like they should share with the group, feel free: [email protected]....
Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 2nd Quarter
- 14-6 Bears as we start the 2nd quarter, and if you like turnovers, this is your game. The winner of this game will be the team that is better at handling slippery balls....
Super Bowl XLI Liveblog: 1st Quarter
- Well, that didn't take long... Devin Hester, 92 yards, endzone. Though I would like to mention one thing... that looked awfully familiar to Ted Ginn. And he didn't really enjoy the rest of his evening after that happened. But anyway... wow. That's how you start a Super Bowl....
