Hey, Saints, We Put Together A Little Dance For You
We don't want to imply that you should have another reason to root for the Redskins this weekend other than Clinton Portis' weekly exploits, but in case you need one, try this: Last week, in the Bucs' win over the Saints, the Raymond James Stadium loudspeakers played The Scorpions' "Rock Me Like A...

They Must Draw 6,000 Fans, Or God Will Call Them Home
So we were watching the Illini's 89-64 victory over Southeast Missouri State last night — we have the ESPN Full Court package; you honestly do not want to know how much money we give that network — and when it was over, we flipped around the other games. It was a bad Full Court night; nothing but ...

For some reason, our site has sponsors now. Yeah, we're as surprised as you. We thank our advertisers for their "support" and hope they don't mind that our first advertiser shout-out post is somewhat sheepish and apologetic. We'll do better next time, promise.

If you haven't checked in with former Red Sox/Expos/Twins closer Jeff Reardon for a while, well, jeez, why would you? Apparently, though, Mr. Reardon has had a bit of a hard time of it lately....

We here at Deadspin would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a most pleasant holiday season. We'll be back Tuesday morning, but until then, Clinton Portis and all sides of his fragmented personality would like to say hello. So, hello. Tell your family we said hey....
An Orgy Of Sorgi
Peyton Manning's day was limited to 12 attempts, and it's been all Jim Sorgi since. The headline might be a little misleading; Sorgi hasn't actually done anything remarkable, good or bad. He's 7/11 for 46 yards, 0 TDs, and 0 INTs. I really just liked the rhyme....
