Week In Deadspin: All Terrell, All Carl, All The Time
• Anybody hear any Terrell Owens news this week? • Good night, completely useless, prohibitively expensive and arrogant mobile phone. • Heads up! • That it does, friend, that it does. • We'll never forget you, Janky Spanky. • My Lord, there's a beetle in my brain! • "Thick in the britches." • Not ...
Five Tiny Tidbits On: The Chicago Bulls
It's hard to believe, but the NBA season is just around the corner. Let us celebrate with five tiny tidbits on each team. Today we continue with the Central Division, so do us a favor and send us your tips at [email protected]....
"You Jackin' It?"
Well, here it is: Carl Monday being bum-rushed on "The Daily Show." The segment is as entertaining as we could have hoped — we love Jason Jones' Monday-esque intro — and, we hope, succeeds in finally crossing Carl over to an America that will never, ever be ready for him....
No Pedro In October? That Just Seems Wrong
As we deal with our own baseball-related panic — which we'll obviously be getting into later — we turn to Queens, where Mets fans, enjoying their best season in nearly 20 years, have lost their ace for the entire playoffs. Whether Pedro Martinez comes up with a tiny former Brando co-star or not, w...

"Thick In The Britches"
This is Bob Whitfield, veteran left tackle for the New York Giants. According to his bio, he has five children, ages ranging from 19 to 5. He seems like an upstanding member of society. And when NJ.com asked him, apropos of nothing, "whose backfield would you like to see in motion?" he had quite an ...
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
We mentioned this briefly the other day, but we figure it probably deserves its own post....

Five Tiny Tidbits On: The Los Angeles Clippers
It's hard to believe, but the NBA season is just around the corner (no, not that corner; that's curling). We don't know about you, but we've barely had time to miss Ron Artest and Mark Cuban before they're back again. And that's a good thing. So let us celebrate with five tiny tidbits on each team, ...
One Perfect Night In New Orleans. Let's Try To Make Sure There Are More
It's difficult to find much to make fun of from last night in New Orleans, a kinda shocking 23-3 Saints victory over the Falcons, except for maybe this lady's sign, which we've been looking at all morning with little more than the foggiest idea of what she's trying to say. (Yes ... Katrina was jus...
Welcome Back To New Orleans
It is somewhat of a relief, as viewed in the Spike Lee's amazing When The Levees Broke — still available on HBO On Demand, still highly recommended, if you have 4 1/2 hours to kill — to learn that as horrible as the circumstances were in the Superdome during Hurricane Katrina last year, they weren...
Over There, Belichick Should Break Up LOTS Of Marriages
If you're a Patriots fan who just hasn't had every opportunity and vessel through which to express your undying devotion, worry not: You can now wear Tom Brady's jersey in Chinese....

Johnny Damon, Grabbing Himself And Having Sex
Johnny Damon beats off in centerfield. At least, I think that's what she's saying. And you know, she doesn't seem repulsed by the idea... not enough to follow Damon home and mess with his war veteran father, anyway....
Week In Deadspin: How Much Are Tickets At RFK Again?
• A brother's remembrances. • Football can be extremely violent, and if you're not careful, you'll —- HUGH! • We knew the beer at RFK Stadium was bad, but this is ridiculous. • It's probably not a good idea, in general, to be Joey Porter's neighbor. • Whatever it takes to fire Americans up about t...

Hey, Look, The Yankees Are In The Playoffs Again
You know, it really is kind of weird when a team has a big champagne celebration after they've lost a game. We know they've earned it, and we know they've got it coming. But it still seems strange to lose a game, go back to the locker room, turn on the television, see a final score in a game played ...
In A Way, It's A Step Forward For Isiah
Some good news for Isiah Thomas (seen here having dinner with Dennis Rodman at an Outback Steakhouse): He is actually able to establish a functioning work environment! Who knew?!...
