A Day Playing Catch With Charlie Brown
I've been a Peanuts fan pretty much my entire life, but it took the new Baseball as Allegory exhibit to finally drag my sorry butt out to the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, Calif. I highly recommend the experience if you happen to be in the neighborhood, if for no other reason than to sit ...
Belisimo, Big Cock Gallinari
SimonOnSports points us to this interesting revelation about potential NBA lottery pick Danillo Gallinari. The 19-year-old Italian small forward has impressed some draftniks with his outside shot and his shnoz for the basket, and he's pledged that he'll only play in the NBA if he's drafted by New Yo...

Clinton Portis Plays All The Old Hits
We hope whoever takes over this site keeps the Deadspin Hall Of Fame going; it would make us very happy to see that still cruising along in a decade.

The Fantasy Impact Of Steven Jackson's Cleansed Colon
During yesterday's story about Rams running back Steven Jackson and his messy colon cleanse, I questioned the potential fantasy football impact such a procedure would have on the top five running back. Thankfully, some of the wise men from Yahoo!'s Fantasy Football think tank decided it was worthy ...
Ballgirls In The Pacific Coast League Are Especially Nimble
Here's a video that's been making the rounds the past couple of days, showing a ballgirl making a rather unbelievable catch of a foul ball during a Fresno Grizzlies game at Chukchansi Park. Pretty impressive; even when you discover that it was staged. It's actually a Gatorade commercial which was fi...
They Sure Know How To Celebrate A Win In Russia

Who's Sorry Now? ESPN Columnist Edition
I wanted the final Who's Sorry Now? post during Will's tenure to be a memorable one, and this one's a doozy. Jemele Hill's latest column over at the Page Dos includes the phrase "I'm sorry," not once, but three times ... plus dozens of other variations of the term sprinkled throughout. It's a mea cu...
The Cardinals Just May Have Changed The Game As We Know It
Dilemma: How to lug a cooler full of refreshing beverages to the bullpen each day without injuring certain medial collateral ligaments? Solution: The motorized cooler. Credit Cardinals' reliever Jason Isringhausen — who had to keep busy somehow while on the 15-day DL — with this upgrade of a regular...
Behold The Awesome Offensive Power Of American League Pitchers
Ha! Take that Hank Steinbrenner, you big dolt. Pitchers shouldn't hit? Felix Hernandez hit the first grand slam by an American League pitcher in 37 years, leading the Mariners over the Mets 5-2 on Monday night. Hernandez did get hurt; but not running the bases, as Steinbrenner imagines in his sweaty...
Introducing The Deadspin Morning Video Wrapup
We're trying something new around these parts to see how it goes over. We've asked the great Brian Powell of Awful Announcing to come up with a morning video wrapup of the night's events. It will usually run earlier in the morning, but we like the idea. This morning: Stephen A. Smith's phone troubl...

ESPN Still Desperately Wants To Be Cool Again
A couple of years ago, some of ESPN's on-air talent was being lured away by another competing cable network that promised them a Daily Show-style vehicle, centered around sports instead of politics. Some were very interested — and some were very disappointed when the deal never went through, especia...

First Hillary, Then 'Sex And The City,' And Now This
In a pivotal evolutionary moment reminiscent of that scene in Jurassic Park where the Velociraptor figures out how to work the doorknob, Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks threw one down in the waning seconds of a win over the Indiana Fever on Sunday. No, it wasn't the first dunk in WNBA histo...

The saga of former Philadelphia anchorhussy Alycia Lane has reached its messy legal stage, as the publicity-attracting former newslady has filed a 40-page lawsuit against the former station, mostly alleging that her former employer was completely wrong for firing her. Once public, the suit also br...
Don Imus: Still Not Being Too Friendly To The Black Folk
Regardless of where you sit on the whole Imus/"nappy-headed ho" spectrum, it was pretty apparent that Imus did at least acknowledge how something like that could be considered offensive. Sure. That's his job: Be an old hillbilly crank and sometimes be the voice of the ignorant truth, for whatever ...
