Lawrence Phillips Hits Bottom, Is Sure He Can Go Lower
And so in the end, Lawrence Phillips leaves us the way we always knew he would: receiving up to 20 years in prison for running into three kids with his car after a pickup football game. The former Cornhuskers /Rams /Dolphins /49ers /Bobcats /Alouettes /Stampeders /Dragons running back was convicte...
Playoff Blogdome: Tigers at Athletics, Game One
Tracking the blogs the day after Game 1 of the ALCS:...
The Tigers Are Scaring The Pants Off Everybody
We'll confess: We're pretty much terrified of Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya. He's big, he's scary, he's got flaming red eyes and he throws about a million miles an hour. Actually, he can hit 103 miles per hour, which, when read by that FOX broadcast flame-for-pitches-over-95-mph thing, actually turns ...
Time For More Baseball Than You Know What To Do With
We know, as Cardinals fans, our occasional gripes and complaints can fall on deaf ears and perhaps even sound like whining, and the Detroit Tigers are Exhibit A as to why. We cannot possibly imagine how exciting having the Tigers in the ALCS must be. (And no offense to A's fans; we know you're in ra...
Hey, What's The Senate's Problem With The PGA?
On September 13, a bill was introduced to Congress "Congratulating The Professional Golfers' Association of America on its 90th anniversary." On September 25, it passed the House, and September 26 it went to the Senate....

Hey, Anybody Hear Anything About Tiger Woods?
So, remember our Deadspin Pants Party Pick 'Em Pool? Well, hopefully you've been making your picks every week, because we're told we can give away some gifts....
ALCS Pants Party: A's Vs. Tigers
We are very proud to report that, ultimately, we did not jinx the Detroit Tigers, and here they are, four wins away from their first World Series in 22 years. (By the way, if you're keeping score, of the four teams left in the playoffs, the team that has gone the longest without a World Championsh...
What Could Possibly Go Wrong With This Idea?
Yahoo's Time Capsule Project begins today, in which people from around the world are encouraged "to submit text, images and video that reflect human nature" to be included in a message that will be beamed into space. So that the world of sports isn't left out, we are submitting the video above, whic...
Putting Together The Deadspin Care Package
Last week, we announced the creation of The Adam Knox Fund, a little donation thing we set up for the late Adam Knox, the soldier responsible for the famous Ohio Iraq picture and brother of regular Deadspin reader Tom Knox. We wanted to give you an update....

Philadelphia's Day To Shine
On a day they'll talk about in Philadelphia for many years, the legendary lunatics that are Philly sports fans were in rare form yesterday for Terrell Owens' return to the city of liberty. These are our personal favorite four photos of the many we were sent....
Yet Another Reason To Hit Jeff Kent
That's a part deep inside all of us, we must admit, that wonders if athletes are secretly basing the outcomes of their games not on whether or not their team wins, but whether or not it affects their fantasy team. We've all thought it....
Recruiting Makes College Sports Double Plus Unfun
As a fan of college athletics, we will confess to being depressed by the process of recruiting. Some fans are obsessed with it, subscribing to scouting services and reading tea leaves, analyzing every vocal inflection of a 17-year-old kid as if it's going to be an insight to their deeper mindset. (T...
NFL Week Five, Update #4
• This Cowboys/Eagles game isn't going to be over for a while... and it's certainly a contest worth watching, if you decided earlier that you didn't want to take part in the TO nonsense. It's not that bad... and it should be a hell of a finish....
NFL Week Five, Update #3
• It's been an entertaining game, but... I mean, nothing cool has happened with Terrell Owens. Is that how it's going to be, Eagles fans? Are you going to completely puss out? It's time for someone to take the initiative, storm the field, and at least... I dunno, hit the guy with a bucket of confett...

NFL Week Five, Update #2
• This game... it kinda sucked. Just one touchdown all day, and it's not like the defense was overwhelmingly great. The Washington Redskins that was supposed to be rounding into form is still not grasping all the pages of the 700-page playbook. They could muster only three points against the Giant...
NFL Week Five, Update #1
• The Tennessee Titans, eighteen-and-a-half point underdogs, could be in the process of pulling off the upset of the freakin' decade. They lead the Colts 10-0 at the half, behind a beautiful Vince Young touchdown run and a secondary that's held Peyton Manning to 56 yards, and Marvin Harrison without...
