NFL Season Preview: Kansas City Chiefs
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting ...
Your Non-Headbutting European Soccer Update
We don't know a lot about soccer, but even we know that this doesn't appear to be cricket. In a move not seen since Brandon Cruz pitched for a Little League team named the Yankees in the film Bad News Bears, Chelsea's William Gallas has threatend to score an own goal if club manager Jose Mourinho fa...
The Commentist Manifesto
As we go through some minor changes to the comment system around here — we swear, the avatars aren't always going to be that big; the tech folks are working on it and might have already fixed it — we thought it prudent to lay out the ground rules around here....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: "Run You Stupid F—-ing Dinosaur! Run!"
It began with a discussion of scoreboard races, one of our favorite little games we played earlier this year. Essentially, we asked readers to send us the wacky scoreboard races of their hometown teams, and you guys absolutely came through. We like to think we have the most definitive reference guid...

NFL Season Preview: Pittsburgh Steelers
(We're still taking the day off, but we thought we'd toss this out there for you, so you had something today. Plus, it's really good. See you tomorrow.)...
The Old 'Potato Into Left Field' Trick
I think this might be the coolest thing that's happened in baseball history. I'm snickering even as I type this. Dave Bresnahan was a backup catcher for the AA Williamsport Bills, and had a hunch that he was about to be cut. He also had an idea that he could get a baserunner out with the use of a pe...
The End For Andre Agassi
As the match was being played and it became evident that Andre Agassi didn't have the legs or the back to take down Benjamin Becker, I couldn't help but think it shouldn't end this way. It should've ended in either a championship, or in front of am unsilencable primetime crowd in a 5-set marathon...
Image Is Everything To James Blake
When I was a young tike, I thought Andre Agassi's flourescents were about the coolest thing in the world. Much of my self-esteem was derived from owning a pair of the shoes pictured at the bottom of this poster, even if I couldn't get them until long after they were considered cool. Okay, I'm wea...
Week In Deadspin: Get The Busts Ready
• Hall Of Fame voting will remain open all the holiday weekend. Still some tight races out there. • Yep, the Vikings have their own fumigator. Makes sense. • It's Jeff George, everybody! • The hotly debated NFL team previews continued. • AOL has a ton of sports blogs now. • Latrell Sprewell just l...
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Darren Prince
Way back in the day, we took another one of our Field Trips to see a Dennis Rodman book signing. In retrospect, we're not sure why we decided to cover a Rodman signing; "Dancing With The Stars" must have not been on that night....
Fill Me Up! Fill Me Up! Yeah! Good Job!
We sure were surprised the day Lisa Flanagan asked us for a ride home and ended up blowing us. Our leg wasn't bugging us too much, and the weather was so nice, and every day after school Lisa and us would go to her house to fuck and have a hot tub....
NFL Season Preview: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Burritos
We are in a difficult position here, trying to summarize why burritos became such a large part of the Deadspin psyche. You see, we really had absolutely nothing to do with it....
Stableford: Long Night In Flushing
Dylan Stableford is the editor of media blog FishbowlNY and will write occasionally on the U.S. Open....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: Stephen A. Smith
It's fascinating to us, the long and strangely intricate association we've had with "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith." It seems unusual mostly because just about every Web site we read has more viewers than the program....
NFL Season Preview: Chicago Bears
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: The Vikings Sex Boat
It's rare that a big sex scandal involving players happens in the middle of the season, but, then again, not everyone can be the Minnesota Vikings. The sex cruise (for rookies!) last season derailed everything then-coach Mike Tice had planned — whatever the hell that was — and supplied countless ane...
NFL Season Preview: Miami Dolphins
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster.

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Renee Thomas And Angela Keathley
We were actually at a wedding the night before the Carolina Panthers bathroom rendezvous story broke, and by the time we woke up that Monday November morning, we felt helplessly behind on the story. We had a fear facts would cause the story to peter out by the time we caught back up....
