After witnessing, in slack-jawed awe, the truly beautiful thing that has been Deadspin Hall of Fame nomination post, we stand before you, at full attention, with the sharpest possible salute we can muster. That was so much fun to be a part of that the actual Hall of Fame almost seems redundant....
NFL Season Preview: Buffalo Bills
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster.

Our Near-Cameo In The Lesbian Cheerleader Non-Trial
It was just last November that Renee Thomas and Angela Keathley, the Carolina Panthers cheerleaders, were arrested after their little bathroom escapade. In January and March, Keathley and Thomas, respectively, pled out to avoid jailtime and agree not to make money off the case. (Hence, no Playboy sp...
Introducing The Deadspin Hall Of Fame
As disconcerting as it might be to consider or even comprehend, our little Hall of Justice here at Deadspin is not yet one year old. We started up the day before the NFL season began last year. We are completely bewildered as to how to feel about our upcoming one-year birthday: It both seems ridicul...

Willie McGinest, Logic Monolith

What About The Children (And Their Wallets)?
At first the idea sounds nuts, like barbecuing in the nude, or a Madonna concert. But then when you think about it ... why shouldn't kids get paid for playing in the Little League World Series? In a column on MSNBC's sports site today by Bob Cook, our man claims, only somewhat tongue-in-cheek, that ...

Eric Karros Wants You To Know He Finds Erin Andrews Hot
We know it's somewhat of a popular parlor game to rank the attractiveness of female sideline reporters, and it makes a modicum of sense, considering the job of sideline reporter isn't inherently, you know, demanding....

Little League President Will Hold Breath Until Yankees Give Him More Cash
We knew it would be fun having Staten Island as a representative in the Little League World Series, and indeed, they haven't disappointed. First, the team had a, um, colorful game in pool play on Sunday, which ended with a slap. Then today we learn that Staten Island Little League president Bob Jo...

Some More On That Incredibly Large Saudi Arabian Child
As mentioned by MJD over the weekend, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia's Little League all-star team has a 6-foot-8, 256-pound player. That means that if things work out, Aaron Durley could become the tallest major leaguer ever; he should pass Randy Johnson (6-10) sometime around Labor Day, and probably alre...

From The Mouths Of Unusually Large Babes
Nothing funnier than when a kid says "fuck" on national television. Last night, in the Little League World Series, a player — for Staten Island ... of course — implored his teammates to score "one fucking run." His teammates immediately shush him, not because he cursed, but because he forgot that ES...
Today In The Premiership...
• Manchester United 5-1 Fulham. A little bit of order was restored after a couple of unlikely draws during yesterday's play. Up first, Man United notched five goals against a Fulham defense that's described in the BBC article as "shambolic," a word that isn't used nearly enough. Wayne Rooney and C...
Very Few Of Those 1.3 Billion Are Good Basketball Players
Team USA got back to their ass-romping ways this morning, beating China by a score of 121-90. Despite the presence of Yao Ming, China's not that good of a team. Really, they're probably the most poorly-equipped team to play the United States; they prefer (an unathletic) man defense, and their guar...
