Why Is Brett Favre Talking To This Woman?
The strange and seemingly unending saga of Brett Favre's un-retirement took another odd twist this afternoon, as Brett decided that the first person he would talk to about this whole mess is none other than Fox News talking blech Greta Van Susteren. Huh?...
Afternoon Blogdome: Colt Brennan Is Ready To Be Objectified
• Somewhere Jeremy Bloom is crying: Last year, Brady Quinn took the homosexual world by storm and this year, it appears the Washington Redskins have hit paydirt with their gay fanbase by signing Colt Brennan. Judging by some of the excitement about Brennan in the past — "Was anyone watching College ...
Charles Barkley Knows Not Of These 'Blogs' You Speak Of
So I was mocked repeatedly for my "interview" with Charles Barkley on Thursday, when I introduced myself and told him that I would be blogging his rounds all weekend. Yes, it somewhat resembled Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney. But I'll have you know that from that brief exchange came the ca...
Don't Worry Golfers; Kevin Has Your Back
So if Kevin Malone were organizing a dream golf foursome, what three Office characters would he choose? That's a tough one (answer following the jump). One thing you should know, though: Brian Baumgartner has very little in common with Kevin Malone. Except that both are funny....
Scott Boras Emerges In Toronto For Rodriguez Peacekeeping Mission
Given all the wackiness that's ensued since Alex Rodriguez marital woes have hit the news cycle, it's tough to disseminate between truth, fiction, fodder, and horseshit hearsay. Strangely, some of the gossip has been true to a certain degree — Madonna has "canoodled" with A-Rod; Cynthia has used Len...
The Biggest Attractions In Tahoe Were Not Necessarily Golfers
It's true: Tony Romo did fall into a pond at the American Century Championship. And was rescued by a hockey player. But practically no one noticed, as Jessica Simpson was rocking the white dress with the orange whoozits and wowing the crowd with her intellectual prowess. Typical exchange: "Jessica! ...
Brett Favre Is A County-Wide Crisis, Telemarketing Goldmine
An email came into the Deadspin tip box yesterday with the subject "Packers robocalling residents about Favre", which said that Green Bay-area residents were getting polled via phone survey about what the Packers should do about The Number 4 Situation. It seemed a little farcical, but considering th...

How Much Can You Overpay For Yankee Stadium Detritus?
On the eve of All-Star Game festivities, where everyone will conveniently ignore that Yankees Stadium is one of the most unpleasant venues in all of sport and was gutted in the early '70s - in an attempt to make it look like a wondrous relic worth cherishing - we get a jump on the House That Ruth B...

Favre Protesters Mark The Coming Of End Times
The Favre shit is going to drag out longer than the war in Iraq. First presidential candidate to put the kibosh on this story gets my vote in the next six elections. It can even be Ralph Nader. He was right about the Kings-Lakers series years back, after all. Anyway, a bunch of fucking Cheesetards ...
Mmmmmmmmmm Tour de Donut
Without the benefit of steroid scandals or testicular cancer survivors, this year's Tour de France isn't getting a whole lot of attention from the American sporting world. And don't you worry, I'm not paying it any mind either. Not while there's a Tour de Donut going on. The 32-mile MissouriIllinoi...
Madonna Begged For This To Happen
Jose Canseco is probably going to need some help with the fighting scenes in his grand Yuen Woo-ping-choreographed kung fu movie, because, well, dude can't fight. Last night he was dealt a first-round knockout at the fisted hands of former Philadelphia Eagles return man Vai Sikahema in Atlantic Cit...
Forrest Griffin Is Somewhat Headstrong
UFC light heavyweight Forrest Griffin either possesses Homer Simpson Syndrome or as a teenager had very little regard for the condition of his cranium. Either way, he makes John Randle look sedate. ...
Halo Kid Vs. Red Sox Nation: WHO YA GOT?
This here's the new yet derivative Internet sensation that is Halo Kid. Obvious comparisons can be drawn to Star Wars Kid, except Halo Kid will never be referenced on Arrested Development, so the former wins. Gilbert Arenas will still be his friend though. I post this here because I didn't want to p...
Peter King Knows The Motivations Of His Bretty Boy
Favraro's Log. Gunsling Date: Sometime in the middle of the ponderous NFL off-season where shit like this can dominate the headlines for weeks on end. Somewhere, off the distance, did hove into view a great assemblage of bullshit about Brett Favre. FUCK! It's coming right for us! Take evasive actio...
Our First Deadspin Beaver Pelt Trader of the Week
The most frequent email from ClayNation column readers since I said I was leaving CBS has been whether or not All That and a Bag of Mail will continue alongside the beaver pelt trader of the week. Fear not, we’re rolling. Every Friday we’ll do our best, like Matt Jones, to bring the goods....
