Downward Facing Dog FTW!
Because National Public Radio is into recherche subjects like competitive yoga, one of their correspondents filed a story from a yoga dojo (yeah, I know that's not the right term, they're actually yoga studios *sniffs own fart* but that's froufrou) in Oregon that is at the leading edge of competiti...
The All-Star Blogebrity Roast Of William F. Leitch!
Balls Deep by Drew Magary will not be appearing this week. In its place, we bring you this very special presentation....
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. (We also love that it's so difficult to get in; just one inductee last year!) One of the earliest enshrinees, Clinton Portis, is returning to his old ...
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 ...
Remembering The Great Carl Monday
Anyone who just came across this site in the last two years might know about the genius that is Carl Monday. With our last week upon us, we felt it was the least we could do to reintroduce you all....
Rich Eisen Just Can't Seem To Escape Embarrassing Flirty E-mail Accusations
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 ...
Call Him Adam Jones, If You Please
He is Pacman Jones no more. From now on, the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive back would like you to call him P. Diddy Puffy Roger Murdock Adam, which is his given name. This makes me very sad, like when Peter Parker quit being Spider-Man in Spider-Man II. But it’s all in an effort to rehabilitate his imag...
Javon Walker's Las Vegas Bludgeoning Won't Result In Any Missed Time
Although the details of what in Wayne Newton happened to Raiders' receiver Javon Walker early Monday morning are still being investigated, he has been released from the hospital and it appears the orbital smashing he received won't , according to Raiders' coach Lane Kiffin, keep him out of training...
The Slow Transition Facing The Buffalo/Toronto Bills
This charming little piece of graphic design is the official logo for the Buffalo Bills' games in Toronto this year. They will be playing there twice this year, once an exhibition game August 14 against Pittsburgh, and a regular season game December 7 against Miami. Many Bills fans fear the games ar...
Javon Walker Speaks Cryptically, Nonsensically About His Violent Night In Vegas
Okay, this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but it is "a statement" from Javon Walker about what he says happened during his infamous champagne-spraying night in Vegas. And which lucky media outlet gets the first quote from Walker? TheDirty.com, of course. Here's what Javon told the venerable +...
Every Inch Of Justin Miller Tells A Story
Florida Marlins' pitcher Justin Miller has never really proved himself as a top tier major league pitcher, but whatever lacks in strikeout numbers, he makes up for in body art. Lots and lots of body art. The fact that he is paid a major league salary is secondary, as tattoo freak magazine Inked did ...
Marvin Harrison Case Still Not Anywhere Close To Being Solved
And in other, non-champagne-spraying troubled wide receiver news......
Javon Walker's Reckless Champagne Spraying Habits May Have Led To His Cold-Cocking, Some Say
TMZ is now running photos of Walker seemingly in the middle of his $15,000 champagne splashdown party, and the site also suggests that he may have doused the wrong patron with his pink bubbly, which, as we all know, is an offense that may result in an overnight hospital stay with an orbital fracture...
The Des Moines Register Is Finally Understanding The Interweb
On Saturday, thanks to the awful flooding of Iowa, the Iowa Cubs played in front of zero fans in a 5-4 win over Nashville. The flooding has killed five, displaced thousands from their homes and caused millions of dollars in damage. Therefore, Black Heart Gold Pants, an Iowa football blog, posted a ...
Trouble-Finding Javon Walker Hospitalized After Vegas Beating, Robbery
Newly acquired Oakland Raiders wideout Javon Walker seemed to be having a festive weekend until Monday morning. The Las Vegas Journal's one-eyed gossip dog, Norm!, spotted him at Tryst nightclub Saturday night "spraying the crowd with some of the 15 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose champagne he ordered...
Brandon Marshall Isn't Ready To Wipe With His Right Hand Yet
You might recall when Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall said back in March that he hurt his arm slipping on a McDonald's bag. That turned out to be a fib; he was just roughhousing with some family members and accidentally put his hand through a TV screen. But now it's June and he looks a...
Marshawn Lynch Can Never Be Accused Of Not Keeping Things Real
Marshawn Lynch has had a tough off-season, with that whole hit-and-run allegation hanging over his head, it's surprising he's yet to give some of his fans the updates on his Yardbarker blog. (Possible working titles: "Gettin' Ready 4 'Da Clink", "WASSUP WIT DAT LADY RUNNIN' INTO MA' WHIP")....
Canada Would Like You To Keep Your NFL To Yourself, Thank You
This handsome, strapping young gentleperson is Canadian Senator James Campbell. He's for the legalization of marijuana — obviously; come on, look at him! — and is known as a bit of a nationalist. How much so? He says the NFL should be banned from Canada because it threatens the CFL....
