Poll: Scariest ESPN Mag Mugshots
Yesterday, we tried to figure out what was going on with Bill Simmons' ridiculous mugshot in ESPN: The Magazine. Well, now we've got copies of all four main mugshots in the magazine, and they're inexplicable. And horrifying. Take a look at them below, and let us know which one makes you want to c...
The Bitmapped Bill Simmons
We're no experts on graphic design, or magazine picture quality, or anything like that — there are all kinds of things we're not experts in today — but we have to say, the new ESPN magazine internal redesign has us a little loopy....
Gammons And Morgan: A Team For The Ages
We're not sure if this will make the folks at Fire Joe Morgan leap in bliss or slip into madness, but it appears everybody's soul-crushing Sunday Night Baseball analyst Joe Morgan is gonna have some company in the booth this year: Peter Gammons....

Who Would Win In A Fight: Bill Simmons or Malcolm Gladwell?
After what had been a considerable hiatus, our boy Bill Simmons is cranking out his Curious Guy segments like crazy these days. We had David Stern just a week ago, and now, punching back in his weight class, he banters with "The Tipping Point" author Malcolm Gladwell for, let's see, 5,000 words .....

Barry Bonds Is Ready For His Closeup, ESPN
Call us cynical, but we've been mulling over this whole Barry Bonds-in-drag thing that occurred at the Giants spring training practice field on Tuesday. Upon further review, we smell a very large and stinky rat. This, you see, was a very un-Barry-like thing to do. Whatever Barry is about, he is no...
You Fought The ESPN, And The ESPN Won
We're going to say something right now that's probably not very smart: Until we started doing this site, we had never paid for ESPN Insider, though we'd be reading it since the '90s. In fact, just about everyone we know who has ESPN Insider either uses, or once used, someone else's password. It's ...

One Guy Has An ESPN Phone (And It Doesn't Even Work)
We don't mean to pile on — really — but Friday, we asked our vast network of Deadspin readers to let us know if they, or anyone they knew even, owned one of the much-hyped ESPN Mobile phones. We weren't expecting an avalanche of emails, but we figured, you know, a few of you would have one. The di...
If Only This Would Happen On The Words "Boo-Yah"
We didn't watch too much Nickelodeon as a kid, if just because we were constantly being sent outside to mow the lawn. Pretty much everyone we know was weaned on it, though, particularly that show "You Can't Do That On Television," where they dumped the green slime on you every time you said "I Don...

Anybody Out There Have ESPN Mobile? Anyone?
We were watching another one of those impressive ESPN Mobile commercials this morning, and we thought we'd check in and see how the much-ballyhooed big-bucks launch of the product was going. Of course, finding sales numbers is pretty much out of the question, and most of the mainstream press has f...
