Golfing Hazards That Could Have Maimed A Small Population Of Tennesseeans
Just in time for Father's Day, the Hidden Valley golf course in Tennessee is doing some major upkeep on its course like bunker shaping, filling in deep barrancas, aerating and...bomb removal. Yes, hole number five of Hidden Valley had, according to bulldozer driver Freddie McGee, an "old tube-type b...
NBA Finals Game 3 Preview: Celtics At Lakers
Basketbawful has channeled his inner Miss Cleo to give you the psychic hotline treatment on tonight's NBA Finals game....
Major League Baseball Wants A Place On Your New iPhone
Yesterday was a terrible day to expect anyone over at Gawker HQ to answer our emails; the iPhone 3G coverage on Gizmodo alone kept the world of non-gadget coverage somewhere buried in the netherworld. So hey, why shouldn't we get in on the fun?...
So Could We Have A Little Less Whining About The Officiating Tonight?
Complaints over the foul disparity in Sunday's Game 2: Justifiable, or the last refuge of a team that's destined to lose anyway? The Celtics shot 38 free throws to the Lakers' 12, which has caused much wailing and gnashing of teeth in LA, and prompted Ray Ratto of CBS Sportsline and the San Francisc...
The Tampa Bay Rays Educate You On The Fist Bump
Seriously, though, about those Rays: Remember back in March 2007, when Rays president Matthew Silverman amusingly bought himself a blogger fan? We mocked them — good-naturedly — back then, but the Rays are clearly on the right track, fanbase wise. If there's any way to bring fans into the Rays tent ...
The Deadspin Editor Search Continues
So, several people have asked why I've been silent on Will's announced departure from Deadspin (if my mailman can be considered "several people"). Well, it's simple. I maintain that he's not leaving. You see, it's all an elaborate hoax, perpetrated by the same folks who faked the moon landing and bu...
It's The Weightlifting, Stupid
Being a sports reporter is, at times, an absolutely horrible job. Sure you get to watch games, travel and interact with athletes, but there is a horrendous downside. (Which is pretty much everything else.) And this is never more disturbingly clear than when a reporter has their first (or 50th) awful...
Pat Tillman's Mom Is Not Happy With The NFL
Like some of you I suspect, I hadn't read Dave Zirin's great Mary Tillman interview over at his blog, Edge of Sports, when it came out last week. But now he's adapted it as an opinion piece for the Los Angeles Times, and I highly recommend taking the time to give them both a look. In it, Mary Tillma...
The 600
It was kind of surreal to see Ken Griffey Jr.'s 600th home run land in the sparsely populated Dolphins Stadium bleachers. Announced attendance was 16,003 — about two grand above the team's average this season — and aside for a mild scramble for the souvenier, there wasn't much of a fuss. Fitting, i...
Roger Clemens: King Of The Blue Diamond
More and more embarrassing details about the career of pitcher Roger Clemens, as the New York Daily News today reports that the alleged 'roid user and serial philanderer also used something else to help keep him on the top of his game — Viagra....
Please Don't Make Legends Wear Their Old Uniforms
Most frighteningly, as The Serious Tip points out, their collective voices sounds like ... well, an old friend....
Lamar Odom Wants You To Know Boston Sucks
This Lakers fan T-shirt might seem particularly ill-timed to you, what with the Lakers down 2-0 to the Celtics and looking like they could really use a certain seven-foot-tall 20-something center with knee issues. But you don't know the half of it....
Goodbye To The Gap-Toothed Wonder
We don't know about you, but we'll kind of miss Michael Strahan, who retired from the NFL today, probably because he thinks coming off a title might make him John Elway. (It won't.)...
To Live, Lose And Be Pummeled In L.A.
That's actually a substantial fight, one worthy of praise; had there been a game going on, they'd have broken it up so much sooner. We hope this was a run-of-the-mill dispute, the kind that happens when you file thousands of people into a confined space to watch the home team stink it up for three-p...
You Always Gotta Put A Body On Leon Powe
We knew Henry Abbott had come a long way over at TrueHoop, but did you realize he was live blogging with Dr. Jack Ramsey?. How do you think they explain to Dr. Jack what a live blog is? Does he have any idea what's going on?...
Lakers Get Bleeps In Gear, Almost Steal Game 2
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who would like to know where the bleep Boston's killer instinct is. When he's not freaking the bleep out over the Celtics playing stall ball, he can be found venting his bleeping angst over it at bleeping Basketbawful. Enjoy!...

What you missed after turning off the game with the Celtics up by 24 ... • NBA: Could this be the most unsafe 2-0 lead in finals history? Celtics 108, Lakers 102. • Tennis: Claymation ... Nadal beats Federer to win French Open. Don't drop the trophy! • MLB: Go Fish ... Hanley Ramirez homers twice as...
Hey! Game 2 Is Here! What, Already?
Thanks for the three-day delay between games at the same site, NBA. Kobe might have to skip out on the Olympics with this series scheduled to go on for the entirety of the summer. Just more time for Paul Pierce to get ready to play act some more and Kobe to prepare to be swallowed up by more Celtic...
