Tony Romo Cockblocks A Deadspin Commenter
In last month's Deadspin thread discussing the three Thanksgiving NFL games, commenter Wingman said the following:...
Who Works On The Day After Christmas?
If you notice this week that the word "I" makes its appearance where you'd expect to see "we," that's because our friendly editor, Will Leitch, is taking some much-deserved time off. My name is Michael David Smith and I'm the first pinch hitter. If you'd like to know more about me, I write for Foo...
Yzerman Is Our Bitch
So I don't know if you saw this, but... we're kind of a big deal. The latest ESPN the Magazine has Deadspin (well, not really) as the 25th biggest sports story of the year. Not as big as Jason McElwain at #22, but bigger than Steve Yzerman at #26. Sorry, Stevie. That's just the way it goes someti...

Ryan Leaf: Demoted, Promoted Or Just Sad?
If you were watching the Las Vegas Bowl between BYU and Oregon last night — and who wasn't? — you might have seen a sideline interview with none other than former Washington State Cougars star Ryan Leaf. (He is also known by some for his postcollegiate endeavors.) Leaf's brother is the quarterback a...
We're Going To Wally World!
Someone asked us the other day whether or not our job was stressful. We thought about it for a moment and told them that our job is only stressful when we're not doing it. Doing Deadspin is the most fun thing we do; the only time it stresses us out is when we're away from the computer and terrifie...

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Carl Monday Vs. Barbaro
And here we are, the matchup we are personally most curious about, the one featuring the infamous Carl Monday and good ole Barbaro, who would be a late charger if only his hoof would grow. We have been looking forward to this one since this got started....

ESPN Has Learned This Post Was Just Written
We were traveling yesterday afternoon — we're back in Mattoon for the holidays — so we weren't able to give this the attention it probably deserved. So allow us to correct that now....

Arena Football, It Is Now That You Kneel
After their television contract with NBC ran out this past season, we had been wondering what would happen to the Arena Football League; it's more than 20 years old, after all, and more successful than ever. (It's football pinball, and they play it in Utah!) Where would they land and still hang onto...
Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Chris Berman Vs. Harold Reynolds
All right, here we are: It's time for the Final Four. We have our ESPN side of the bracket, and then our Masturbator Locator Vs. Horse side of the bracket. All four candidates are worthy. It's time for some tough decisions, people....

Last Call For All SHOTY Voting
Tomorrow, the finals of the Sportshuman Of The Year tournament begin, and there's still some rather tight matchups. The semifinals themselves will run throughout the holiday season, and we'll continue with the finals on January 4, when we come back from vacation (which we'll also get into later this...

Hirshey's Holiday Week Off
We are sorry to disappoint, but our main man David Hirshey is taking a week off from his weekly windings on the world of the English Premier League. (That's soccer, in case you forgot.) He sends the following explanation/report:...
The Ryan Leaf Movie Will Probably Be Just Like "Brian's Song"
What you just saw was the trailer for Leaf: An Almost True Story. I read the article at Football Outsiders three times to convince myself that this wasn't a joke. But it's not. Leaf: An Almost True Story is happening sometime next year....
