I should probably just go ahead and apologize to Pam Ward right now......
It May Not Affect What You Watch This Weekend, But Arnold Palmer Is Retiring
I could be wrong, but I believe this is going to be the first ever Deadspin post about Seniors - excuse me, Champions Tour - golf. And ideally, that post would come for some reason like an old man got his blood pressure medicine confused with his Levitra and played a round of golf with a four-hour...
One Series Almost Over, One Just Getting Started
For a while last night, it seemed like there was a pretty good chance that the Tigers/A's series would actually be over before the Mets/Cardinals game. The Cardinals posted a manly three-run ninth inning to finally win a 3-hour and 58-minute game that did not go into extra innings....
Leftovers: Bad Day For Illinois Basketball
• Top recruit Eric Gordon breaks oral committment to Illini and heads to Indiana. Commence screaming. [Chicago Tribune] • Some guy simulated a tournament involving all Division I-A and I-AA football teams. His champion? Tennessee. [Bracketmaker] • Why blogs, specifically NBA blogs, are important. [D...
It's The Vikings' Bye Week!
Not sure if you noticed or not, but the Minnesota Vikings have a bye this week. And we all know what that means!...
Ethan Albright Is In Fact Able To Walk Upright
As Madden 07 obsessives know, Washington Redskins lineman and ginger kid Ethan Albright is the lowest-rated player in the game, with a rating that barely gives him enough aptitude to stand up and walk in something resembling a straight line. We have wondered if Albright knows about this, or cares, a...
Some Fans Are, Well, "Special"
Sure, you might, on the surface, think that the University of Tennessee calling a boisterous fan at home and asking her to shut the hell up is over the top, rude and all together unacceptable. But, then again, you haven't actually heard her....
Leftovers: The Real Stephen Jackson
• The inside scoop, as they say, on the Stephen Jackson police report. [SLAM Online] • In case you were still wondering what they did with the losing team's championship hats. [Off Season] • CBS Sportsline thinks Daisuke Matsuzaka is going to play for the Twins. [CBS Sportsline] • Why isn't THIS GUY...
The Buccaneers Want To Kill Carson Palmer (With Howie Mandel!)
Proving once again that no one is funnier than those who work for the official Web sites of professional football teams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in preparation for their game Sunday against quarterback Carson Palmer and the Cincinnati Bengals, have put together a little flash intro to their home...
Being A Fan Can Be Slightly Lucrative, But Not Really
So here's a novel concept, sent to us from the fine folks at WBRS Sports Blog: A new site has launched offering fans $5 to cheer for a certain NFL or NHL team. The site is called HireAFan.com and inspired by a guy who sold his loyalty to Sebria & Montenegro on eBay during the World Cup....
Stalking Lloyd Carr
We are no experts in the field of stalking — really! — but as far as potential stalking targets go, we're not sure we'd include Michigan coach Lloyd Carr as a particularly targetable vessel for rage and frustration. Well, at least not this year....
Playoff Blogdome: Tigers at Athletics, Game 2
Canvassing the blogs after Detroit's 8-5 win over Oakland in the ALCS:...
The Post That Will Probably End Up Jinxing Them Again
Well, we know we're going to get yelled at for saying this, but we can't deny the facts, jack: The Tigers look like they're not gonna be beaten by anyone, in either league. Before the NLCS has even had a chance to start yet — more on this later — the Tigers have sucked the life out of the A's and th...
The Long Wait Is Over (Probably)
We repeat our caveat: It's very possible tonight's Cardinals-Mets game is going to rain out. (Fortunately, you know, there's some other baseball tonight, just in case, and we think it's unlikely Oakland's gonna get a rainstorm.) But nevertheless, the NLCS is scheduled to begin tonight, with the vete...
Death Is Not An Option!
In a finding that should surprise no one who has every watched a sporting event, the American College of Emergency Physicians — every single organization in the country has a name that sounds fake, by the way — have discovered that male visits to the emergency room tend to increase directly after ...
Leftovers: All Hail Skipper!
• ESPN sure is a different place under John Skipper, and most people think it's an unquestionably positive one. (Hmm.) [Sports Business Journal] • This is probably what everyone should do with the Stanley Cup. [College Humor] • Some idiot yammering about the Cardinals. [Mets Blog] • Another ode to t...
The Biggest Games Of The Year ... On F/X?
Barring rainouts, tonight is the one night of the baseball postseason that features two games going on simultaneously. Depending on where you are, you'll be watching one series on FOX and the other on F/X. So if you're a Tigers fan living in New York City, for example, you either need to find your...
A Couple Of Expensive Six Packs
We are aware that it's very possible there's much more to come out about the story than has been released, but, taken at face value, the Connecticut football team is awfully strict about player discipline....
We Can't Imagine The Minnesota Candidates In 20 Years
We don't know much about politics over here, but one thing we do know: We want our Secretarys of State to have banged some Green Bay Packers....
