Hacking Bernie
We recognize that, unless you're Curt Schilling, it can be pretty difficult for a Major League Baseball player to keep up with this Internet usage on the road. And when someone has a site of their own to manage, it can be doubly difficult....
Clinton Spends His One Night A Year With His Brother At Shea
We didn't notice this from our seat about three miles overhead, but former President Bill Clinton was at Shea Stadium last night, saying the fact that the Cardinals were the visiting team was at least part of the reason he came by....
It's Always Better To Stay On The Couch
Ugh. Remind us why we go to games in person again?...
NFL Season Preview: Atlanta Falcons
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people paintin...
Eric Karros Wants You To Know He Finds Erin Andrews Hot
We know it's somewhat of a popular parlor game to rank the attractiveness of female sideline reporters, and it makes a modicum of sense, considering the job of sideline reporter isn't inherently, you know, demanding....

The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting ...
Little League President Will Hold Breath Until Yankees Give Him More Cash
We knew it would be fun having Staten Island as a representative in the Little League World Series, and indeed, they haven't disappointed. First, the team had a, um, colorful game in pool play on Sunday, which ended with a slap. Then today we learn that Staten Island Little League president Bob Jo...

Some More On That Incredibly Large Saudi Arabian Child
As mentioned by MJD over the weekend, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia's Little League all-star team has a 6-foot-8, 256-pound player. That means that if things work out, Aaron Durley could become the tallest major leaguer ever; he should pass Randy Johnson (6-10) sometime around Labor Day, and probably alre...

A Tortured Tour Through Red Sox Land
After the brutality of the last few days, it seems almost cruel to make the Red Sox and their fans go through one more game this afternoon. At this point, what's one more loss and humilation? Even the famous Boston Massacre was only four games....
The Closer: "Those Guys Are Not Playing Around"
Notes from a day in baseball:...
A Warning To The Women Of San Antonio
This comes our way from Media Take Out, and there's probably no real reason to believe that it's true, but it's a hell of a story nonetheless. A woman claims that she met former New York Knick and current San Antonio Spur Jackie Butler at the 40/40 Club in New York a few months ago....
You Better Get ESPN Mobile Before A Tornado Hits
Got a tip from Jeff in Columbia about an oddly-timed plug for ESPN Mobile during last night's Little League World Series broadcast. Erin Andrews was in the stands during the game between Columbia and Lake Charles, standing among a bunch of Columbia fans, who all seemed to be on their cell phones. ...
This Is Rapidly Becoming Anti-Climactic
The Yankees are in the process of ghetto-stomping the Red Sox again today, probably ensuring victory in the five-game series, and sort of letting the air out of the build-up for the series. The game was tied heading into the top of the 6th, until the Red Sox walked in two runs, and then gave up a ...
Week In Deadspin: Kornheisers On A Plane!
• We started our NFL team previews. • Kind of a downhill Canadian cycling version of "Bachelor No. 1." • Big week for Tony Kornheiser. • Torii Hunter is so not into leather. • Kevin Brown, still a dick. • With Whoever as our witness, we're gonna make sure as many people see this Denis Leary Red So...

Here We Go Again
We take a lot of pride around these parts in avoiding the typical East Coast knob-slobbering that goes on; rarely do people accuse one of a "Central Illinois Bias." But even we can't ignore a five-game series at Fenway Park in a tight August pennant race between the Red Sox and Yankees. Bronx Bant...
