Facebook and Deadspin: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together
Have you been trying to leave comments on Deadspin for years only to be stymied at every turn by heartless, humorless combudsmen? You've always known that if you could just get that first comment approved, then everyone would see how funny you really are, right? Well, today's your lucky day, camper,...
Introducing the Deadspin Customer Service Hotline
2008 has been quite a year of change for Deadspin. Leitch out, Daulerio in. Exit Weintraub, enter Waxing Off. Goodbye Iracane, Hello Gaines. Yes, AJ has graciously asked me to step in and provide Deadspin with the same mediocre level of combudsmanship I've been providing for the past 4 months over ...

Hugh Is Impressed With What He Sees From the 'Eers
West Virginia, led by the fleet-footed Pat White, is having a field day on the ground in Louisville.

Hugh Aren't What You Used to Be
This interesting little piece of body comes from Rate My Tattoos (via FanIQ) and it's probably a pretty good representation of today's rivalry game.

Here's an amusing little snag from Awful Announcing, featuring current "Inside the NFL" analyst Warren Sapp and budding home decorator/"NFL Live" analyst, Keyshawn Johnson.

ESPN Knows Not Of This 'Hockey' You Speak Of
Look, I'm the first to admit that this here site isn't exactly Puck Daddy. But when we start an NHL feature, we tend to finish it, unlike a certain Worldwide Leader, apparently. I wouldn't even mention this except that ESPN, in abandoning its NHL rankings back on Oct. 23, has generated some quite am...
Roy Jones, Jr.'s Boxing Future Annulled by Calzaghe
Joe Calzaghe fluttered Roy Jones, Jr. with a million love taps and took a unanimous decision at MSG over the man who seemed to have married into the Pound-for-Pound-Champion clan in the late 90s as it seemed to become his surname. That divorce is final as Calzaghe, 36, recovered from a bit of a surp...

Hockey Player Pulls Off Rare Hat Trick, Has His Stick Taken Away
Brace yourselves: This is not a hockey post. It's a college hockey post. And it's not even a Michigan State college hockey post—although I'm sure I'll find a way to work a few dozen of those in before the CCHA season is over—but when any athlete pulls off something that has happened maybe twice in t...
Sarah Palin Sentences Future Son To Lifetime Of Ass Kickings, Possible Ice Grooming

You Do Not Want To Be In Jan Huokko's Fave Five
Yesterday we told you about The Night of a Thousand Dildos, in which Swedish hockey fans showered the ice with plastic sex devices at a second-tier, Pro Hockey League match between Leksand and AIK in Stockholm. The fusillade was unleashed in honor of former AIK and current Leksand player Jan Huokko,...
Jemele Hill Just Taking This Whole Lou Holtz-Hitler Backlash in Stride
Jemele Hill finally addressed the whole Lou Holtz/Hitler non-suspension story today on her personal blog and is predictably measured in her response.

ESPN's Inconsistent Hitler Reference Policy Enables Lou Holtz to Get a Pass
After Dr. Lou uttered "Ya Know, Hitler was a good leader, too" on Friday night while talking about Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez he seemed destined to sit at home in his EZ Chair for a week. It would've seemed perfectly reasonable for Holtz to get a few days off considering what happened to col...
TBS Baseball Coverage: EPIC FAIL
As millions of baseball enthusiasts tuned in last night hoping to see Game Six of the American League Championship Series, a surprise awaited them: They weren't greeted by Josh Beckett's steely gaze, instead they were met by Steve Harvey's toothy smile.

Blue Is the Colour, Football Is the Game
We've had to wait since May's epic Champions League Final but the time has finally come for the Blues of Chelsea to take on the Red Devils of Manchester United. Holy crap, I'm all tingly.
