Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together
Yep, that's right: Dennis Rodman was on "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith" last night. This is like seeing L. Ron Hubbard and Tony Robbins in the same room together. Our mind is officially blown....

Closing The Dorm Room Door
Well, we've been observing with much amusement — and a little fear — the ongoing aftermath of SeventhFloorGate (not the catchiest name, we admit). As nicely wrapped up by Sports Media Watch, it appears to be a big moral issue for Pat Forde and ESPN.com, and that's about it. No one else seems to be...

Leftovers: ER Edition
• Doc tells McNabb to have surgery now, then writes out a prescription no one can read. [Slasher's Fantasy Report] • Doctor: Americans like lesbians, it seems. [MSNBC] • O's Todd Williams arrested after crash with a blood alcohol level that would drop a gnu. [Tampa Bay's 10] • You didn't hear it fro...

Sorry, Man: Gays Like Football Too
Via Towleroad comes this fun little story from the Northwestern football program. Apparently, there's a muchly gay-friendly Web site devoted to Wildcats freshman wide receiver Ross Lane called, understandably, The Ross Lane Fan Club. The site tackles all things Northwestern sporty but has a partic...

Boxing (And "Ultimate Fighting") Hit Rock Bottom
The only way anyone can get to care about boxing anymore is when celebrities hit each other. Henceforth, an upcoming fight between "Fear Factor"'s Joe Rogan and fledgling wanna-be kung-fu star Wesley Snipes. It is indicative of the world of boxing that on boxing Web sites, this has become a semi-b...

Your Source For All Things Evil
It's been around for a while now, but we thought we'd wait a couple of days, until people were starting to forget about the guy, and then we'd drop this on you: FireDrewRosenhaus.com. The site's not just a funny URL, though; it's pretty much the best resource we've found for anti-Rosenhaus vitriol...

Drunk Fat Dudes With Guns
We'll admit: We've been behind on this whole Chicago Bears fighting each other at a shooting range story. We're not sure why: It just kind of fell in that strange corner of the couch where we're always losing the remote. But let's get you up to speed....

Someone Get One For Marty Mornhinweg, Just For Fun
This is a bit trifling so early in the morning, but we don't care, it makes us happy. The auction just closed, but since there were no bids, we're sure it'll come back up: An eBay auction where you can buy Detroit Lions helmet buggy. It is "larger than a golf cart; about the size of a small car" a...

Rock Me Like An Extreme Weather Pattern
Well, it might be easy for Larry Coker and his Miami crew to hide from us, but it's not as easy for them to hide from ESPN. (For now.) Now that the moralists at the worldwide leader (and the AP) have picked up our bit about the Miami football team's rather intense rap, all kinds of heck is breakin...

Athlete Run-Ins: Mistaken Identity With O.J. And Nicole
Continuing our series of great athlete run-in stories, we present winner No. 2, Mahwah, N.J.'s Steve Frischer and his obviously old yet still gripping tale of running into slashing halfback O.J. Simpson and his lovely wife, Nicole Brown Simpson....

Fantasy Football Master's Theses Rule!
The fine, slightly scary folks at Free Darko are, apparently, in the world of post-graduate academia, a designation that makes us eye them more warily than we did before....

Leftovers: Super Terrific Happy Hour Edition
• Ichiro blasts Mariners teammates, but bows politely afterwards. [The Sports Fan] • Matsui signs with Yankees, leaves in a Brinks truck. [The Sporting Brews] • Bill Romanowski speaks to Football Outsiders writer, avoids temptation to beat him somehow. [Fox Sports] • Dodgers, Colletti marry in priva...

Authors With Pure Hearts: Jere Longman
It has been brought to our attention that, as much as people might like our Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks feature, sometimes it's nice to point out good sportswriting. We agree; we're very friendly people and love great sportswriting as much, if not more, than anyone. Henceforth, we introduce ou...

The Ongoing Popularity Of "The U"'s Rap
For anyone who might have doubted the authenticity of our frightening Miami gangbang rap song post yesterday, Hurricanes wide receiver Sinorice Moss confirmed it for us today in his ESPN chat....

Meet The New ABA
The seats were uncomfortable, the snack bar didn't have much of a selection and the halftime show was nonexistent (the sound system broke, causing the scheduled singer to go home). But professional basketball returned to San Francisco on Tuesday, and for the 1,000 people or so who turned out at Ke...

Blogdom's Best: Buffalo Bills
It might not — yet — have the online fanaticism and cachet of baseball, but the NFL and its fans are starting to catch up in the world of team-devoted blogs. To this end, Deadspin salutes these modem-addled souls and proudly presents Blogdom's Best, given to the most outstanding blog for each NFL ...

Athlete Run-Ins: Craps With Jeff Fisher
Last week, we held a contest for readers to send in their best athlete run-in stories, and, we're proud to say, we got some doozies. We'll be running a couple a day on the site over the next couple of weeks, and we suspect you will enjoy them....

T.O.'s Suddenly Fluid Finances
Yesterday, we told you about Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens selling his Moorestown, N.J. home for $4.3 million. Well, as some of you pointed out, T.O. apparently is gonna go homeless for a while; he's selling his Atlanta home too. This one, probably because of that insane Georgia real estate m...

Leftovers: Kudos, Redbird
• Cardinals' Pujols wins NL MVP, denying Jeff Keppinger once again. [Viva El Birdos] • Look, it's the Bill James of the NBA. Kind of. Nice seats, buddy. [Wired] • Uh, Mr. Williams, we like where your head's at, but that league didn't really exist. Sorry. [Some Fine Fellows] • Finally, a way to defen...

Peter King, Hello!
We have always liked Sports Illustrated's Peter King, up until a couple of years ago, at least. He was plugged in, incredible for information, and had that everyman quality we Web people enjoy. But — and maybe because he's gotten all thin now, or maybe it's the breakneck schedule he keeps — he is ...
