Of Monday Hangovers, Booty Calls, And The Biggest Upset In College Football History
To put Stanford's win over USC into the proper perspective this morning, you should know that the Stanford Tree woke up with a raging hangover, empty tequila bottles strewn about his apartment and a pair of panties dangling from his upper branches. OK, that just means it's Monday. For real perspect...
Trip Fisk Probably Isn't A Scimitar Fan, Either
There. I somehow tied a random YouTube video to a sports story. Cash me, Denton....
Jean Strahan Is Gettin Paid
If Michael Strahan wants to lose the gap-toothed look he should probably go to the dentist now while he's still insured. Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports(!) has shed some light on the financial terms of the Strahan's highly publicized divorce....
Getting Meta With Kige
Deadspin's favorite YouTube sports commentator is back on the ebays and he's been lurking around these parts. Kige Ramsey heard about the NFL's plan to cover media members with pieces of flair, and he is none too happy. Listen up NFL executives, you do not want to put Kige in a corner....
ESPN Would Like You To Know That Only Harold Reynolds Harasses People
Probably time to check in on that whole Woody Paige sexual harassment lawsuit business. Not that many new details have been released since yesterday, except that we've learned a bit more about Jay Crawford, amazingly. (Seriously, we didn't think they guy even knew how to read.) We did enjoy the foll...

About Last Night...
• NBA. Golden State 125, Utah 105. In case you were wondering if the people in Golden State still believed, their t-shirts indicated that they do. They lose points for using Thunder Stix last night. Disgraceful. • NHL. Red Wings 2, Ducks 1. The Red Wings are far superior to the Ducks in the area of ...
I Guess You Can't Be A Successful Quarterback Until You've Been With A Man
If this week has taught us anything, it's that gay-themed pictures of quarterbacks do not hurt their career. Above is Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford and a friend getting cozy at a secluded, romantic little spot on the infield at Talladega. Hey, when the mood strikes, the mood strikes....
What? The NBA Can Discipline Officials? Really?
Man, when you offend Tim Duncan, you offend the whole NBA....
By The Time You Read This, Steve Alford May Already Be A Lobo
So to recap, Bobby Knight now in Lubbock, Steve Alford in Albuquerque. We all new that Knight was "going to the hot place," one day, but Alford? ESPN is reporting (and we know how that can turn out) that Alford is leaving Iowa and will become New Mexico's new head basketball coach, possibly by Frida...
NCAA Pants Party: Louisville Vs. Stanford
Louisville Cardinals (23-9) vs. Stanford Cardinal (18-12) When: Thursday, 12:20 p.m. Where: Lexington...
Stanford Cardinal
1. Dynamic Duo. In everyday life, seven-foot Stanford twins Brook and Robin Lopez are mild-mannered freshmen on the Cardinal's basketball team (some say a bit too mild mannered). But while not hiding behind their secret identities, they enjoy writing and drawing homemade comic books. "They draw thei...
Michigan Legends Are Dropping Like Flies
To the best of my knowledge, there was never a band called "The Dead Gerald Fords," but if such a band does exist, they're going to have to change their name, too. Former President and center on the 1932 and 1933 national champion Michigan Wolverines football teams Gerald Ford died last night at the...
One Small Step For A Harbaugh, One Giant Leap For Mankind
Not 24 hours after Jim Harbaugh was introduced as the new head football coach at Stanford on Tuesday, there was a fairly large earthquake centered in Berkeley, home of rival Cal. A sign from the football gods? The answers are unclear; although personally we think that if God were going to punish t...
Jim Harbaugh Is Back In Town
Collegiate sports in the San Francisco Bay Area are — how shall we phrase it? — a little less intense than in other localities. For instance, if Auburn ever goes 1-11, expect that coach to show up at the next tailgate as the guest of honor, i.e., revolving slowly on a spit. But in Palo Alto, there w...
