T.O.'s Suddenly Fluid Finances
Yesterday, we told you about Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens selling his Moorestown, N.J. home for $4.3 million. Well, as some of you pointed out, T.O. apparently is gonna go homeless for a while; he's selling his Atlanta home too. This one, probably because of that insane Georgia real estate m...

Tommy Lasorda's World Still Quiet, Full Of Penne
The Los Angeles Dodgers are very close to hiring a new general manager, the team leaning toward current assistant GM Kim Ng or assistant San Francisco Giants GM Ned Colletti to succeed Paul DePodesta, according to the Los Angeles Times. Of course, in the latest post over on his blog at MLB Blogs....

New Steroid Agreement Reached
Well, we didn't have the scoop this time, but our main man Jon Heyman did: Major League Baseball and the players union have reached an agreement on a new steroid penalty policy. The details: 50 games for a first offense, 100 games for a second offense and a lifetime ban for the third offense. Thos...

T.O. Needs Your Spare Change
You'd heard that Terrell Owens' house was for sale, but now you can see it all official-like: T.O's Moorestown, N.J. home, at 40 Landing Court, is right there, with an asking price of a mere $4,399,000. (Strangely enough, we think T.O. could probably use the money right now.)...

The Woe Of The Eagles Fan
There was a moment last night, during the Eagles' season-crushing 21-20 loss to the Cowboys, when you really grasped just how difficult it must be to be an Eagles fan. Ordinarily, we scoff when fans of successful teams complain about their suffering; we root for the Arizona freaking Cardinals, so ...

We'll be picking our winners in our athlete run-in stories contest, where the best athlete run-in stories win a free copy of The Education Of A Coach, the new David Halberstam about Patriots coach Bill Belichick....

Now Blogging For NHL.com ...
Off Wing Opinion beat us to this, because they're really into hockey and we can't even wear skates without falling down. Apparently taking a cue from MLB Blogs, NHL.com has added a new blog section to its site. But those who run hockey have a much better idea of what works online; whereas the sig...

NFL Roundup: Down Goes Tice!
• What's funnier than Mike Tice being rolled over and knocked down on the sideline? Nothing, that's what. By the way, we find Tice's dopey sideline celebrations undignified, and Tom Coughlin's constant gyrations of fury incredibly amusing. • Samkon Gado, baby, Samkano Gado. Two touchdowns, one gr...

Even Satan Is Saying, "Rosenhaus? Never Met Him."
The Philadelphia Daily News brings up something we pretty much all figured was going to happen: It appears a bunch of Drew Rosenhaus' clients are seriously considering dropping him after his pretty clear botching of the Terrell Owens situation. Rosenhaus signed up most of his clients in the last t...

Introducing Darren Prince
This man you see here is not Hugo Weaving from The Matrix; he is, in fact, Darren Prince, agent for Dennis Rodman, whose book signing we popped by — and lamented — yesterday....

Orioles Clubhouse Apparently Like Caligula
The Baltimore Sun has gotten a hold of the 40-page Congressional report on Rafael Palmeiro, and it's full of all kinds of goodness....

Deadspin Field Trip: Rodman's Book Signing
A media friend of ours emailed us yesterday and said, "Dennis Rodman's publicist just called me and promised he's going to pull a 'major' stunt at his book signing tomorrow." We couldn't imagine what Rodman could possibly do that could be classified as "major," save for, you know, sitting down and...

The pictured advertisement is what's currently front and center on TerrellOwens.com, the official Web site of everybody's favorite apologizer....

Palmeiro Pretends To Come Clean
For anybody who missed it yesterday, Orioles designated hitter Rafael Palmeiro finally made a public statement about steroids yesterday, and, as you'd certainly expect, it was unsatisifying. Basically, Palmeiro said he never intentionally took steroids but that he might have accidentally got some ...

We've read the book and think it's really good, actually, eve...

We Love The Idea Of Her Working With Milton Bradley
The Dodgers are still trying to fill their general manager position, and though they're still holding out hope for John Hart or Theo Epstein (hey, Steve Phillips is available!), so far the only person they've interviewed is assistant GM Kim Ng. Ng would be the first female general manager in baseb...

Rosenhaus Sets T.O.'s Career Ablaze
One pretty amazing press conference involving Terrell Owens this afternoon. Owens came out and made a seemingly sincere statement, apologizing to his fans, the Eagles, Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, the owners, pretty much everybody but Jeff Garcia. We were watching it thinking, "Man, he actually see...

Don't Forget About The Sex Cruise!
While the rest of us sully our filthy little minds with stories of lesbian cheerleaders, The Mighty MJD is keeping his eyes on the prize of the whole Vikings sex boat story. (How quickly we forget ...)...
