So Lift Your Glass To Barbaro, And Sing No Mournful Songs
Yes, it's sad that Barbaro is gone, but all of this talk of angels and candles and galloping around in the clouds is making our neck chafe, like when we were a kid and had to wear the clip-on tie in Sunday school. We prefer to think of Barbaro this way, consuming many beers down at that sports bar i...

Adjusting To A World Without Barbaro
As you might expect, it has been a difficult day here at Deadspin World Headquarters. The death of Barbaro has affected us all; it has been difficult to write about non-Barbaro related news today. None of it means anything without Barbaro around....
Somebody's Gonna End Up With A Rather Lousy Highlight Video
Over at The NFL Shop, you don't have to sift through a week of Super Bowl overexposure. They've not only decided who won, they've even put out the championship DVD....

Shaq Keeps The World Safe, One Escalade At A Time
It is clear, at this point, that in his dreams Shaquille O'Neal flies over our major cities, combing the streets and alleys from up high, looking for evildoers to apprehend and, if necessary, kung fu chop. Sunday morning, after Shaq had returned from a game in Chicago, he and his bodyguard — whom we...

I Think It's Jim Sorgi In The Colt Costume
Bear vs. Colt is an inspired bit of Super Bowl silliness. Every day between now and the Super Bowl, they post a new video with a Bear vs. Colt battle, with a guy in a bear costume going toe to toe in some manner against a guy in a colt costume....
A Happy Ending For That EBay Bears Lady
You may recall the attractive Bears fan who attempted to auction herself off on EBay in return for a Super Bowl ticket last week. The bidding went up to 99 bazillion dollars and was then killed by EBay, only for her to try again, and again have the auction pulled....
Filling Your Burning Need For Pageantry
It's so difficult to wait that extra week for the Super Bowl. The promise of spectacular pageantry is on the horizon, but still just out of your reach. Oh, pageantry, you seductive temptress....

God Loves You Just The Way You Are. But He Loves You Too Much To Let You Stay That Way
We wonder what she looks like. We bet she's skinny. She probably is. She's skinnier than us and prettier too. Now we'll hate her. Oh, we can't wait!...
Why You Shouldn't Randomly Promise Tickets To Strangers
When your team makes the Super Bowl, sometimes some promises you've made in the past come back to haunt you. That's what happened to Bears safety Chris Harris, who was on public access earlier this year and found himself in a situation where his mouth was writing checks his ticket stash couldn't cas...
William Perry, Keeping Busy (And Incognito!)
In case you were wondering what William "The Refrigerator" Perry was up to these days, now that the offers to box Manute Bol have dried up, here's one of his main promotional opportunities: Big Camo, "the world's BEST outlet for HARD or IMPOSSIBLE to find BIG and TALL camouflage hunting clothes, acc...

Sean Salisbury Should Probably Relax A Little Bit
So yesterday, on his radio show in Chicago, Sean Salisbury addressed the whole "did he say Jew or not?" issue, using his platform mainly to trash those lowly bloggers and let everyone know that his soul is pure of spirit and that he hugs cute puppies, even Jewish ones....
Taking Down The USA, One Touchdown At A Time
Every year, usually more than once a year (whenever there's a major sporting event), some soulless, dumb "research firm" tries to convince us that the office workers of America are somehow skirting their duties serving The Man by paying so much attention to something that might divert them from star...
Yahoo! Still Trying To Catch Reggie Bush
If it's a Thursday, that must mean it's time for another Yahoo !Sports investigation into gifts Reggie Bush might have received at USC. (We don't mean to make light of the hard work Yahoo! has put into its exhaustive investigation, but we repeat that it's hard to take an investigation all that serio...

Kind Of Looks Like Steve McMichael On A Bender
One of the things we love about the Bears? They have a theme song. It's pretty awesome that a professional sports team has a team song. And it's particularly awesome when it is sung by Bryan Griffin, of the Chicago Lyric Opera....
