Oh, If Only They Wore Cups In Basketball
If you're one of the lucky ones who opened your morning Bryan-College Station Eagle on Thursday and found a large penis staring back at you, well, congratulations.

NFL Is (Somewhat) Less Homophobic Than You Think
Remember that scene in Brokeback Mountain, when Jack Twist is having Thanksgiving dinner with his wife's family and they get in a big fight about being manly enough to watch football? (What? You haven't seen Brokeback? Well, it's like the Colts' season, except shorter and with 13 percent fewer au...

Help Us Do The Best NCAA Preview Of All Time

We were trying to think of ways we could do the tournament justice, Deadspin-style, and we realized what makes this site fun is not us, but you. Who better to write about individ...
Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks: Peter Vecsey
Forgive the analogy, but it occurred to us that a Peter Vecsey column is a lot like going hunting with Dick Cheney. If you're loud and obnoxious enough to scare the little critters out of hiding and keep loudly blasting away, you're bound to hit something eventually. And those innocent people who ...
J.J. Jumper: Give Him Something To Break!
The most terrifying mascot in organized sports has to be J.J. Jumper, the official mascot of the NCAA. (Because nothing gets the crowd more fired up than a mascot for a faceless, totalitarian organization. "Prop 48! Prop 48!")...
Hey, At Least It's Not Another Cheney Hunting Photo
It's a glorious Monday, and The Wade Blogs says "Come on in, the Photoshoppin's fine!" Noting that Notre Dame football coach Charile Weis presented President G.W. Bush with a pair of blue Notre Dame jerseys recently, our Mr. Blogs went right to work....
Today In College Hoops...
UConn just put their thing down against Villanova this afternoon, winning by a score of 89-75 and avenging their earlier loss to the Wildcats. This is probably as much talent as is possible to put on one college basketball floor at one time this year. UConn's talent, however, is much taller....

The J.J. Redick It's OK To Like
This story is a little bit old, and pretty much everyone else has written about it, but we don't care, because we were gone all week and do not want to go down in history as having ignored it....
Vince Carter Getting "Freaky?"
We were sent the following video from a fellow named Mr. Jones, claiming that Nets guard Vince Carter is shown frollicking in Cancun. If one can classify this activity as "frollicking." We will say that our vacation was nothing like this at all....

Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks: Bob Sansevere
The St. Paul Pioneer-Press has an annual contest called "Average Joe Columnist," in which a field of 16 non-journalists submit sports articles, and are judged American Idol-style by sports editor Mike Bass and columnist Bob Sansevere.
