South Carolina School System, We Salute You
This clip may be somewhat off topic, but you know what? I don't care. Because it's been gnawing at my brain now for nearly 48 hours, like a game of tetris where all you get are the long, L-shaped pieces and nothing fits, and why should I be the only one to suffer? It's from the Teen Miss USA Page...

Where Not To Park Your Lamborghini
Whenever Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs wakes up, groggy, confused, wondering where his car is, we hope he turns on CBS-2 in Chicago. There, he will learn exactly where his car is. Sorry: His Lamborghini....

Wells Lumbers To Victory In Dodgers Debut
We have just learned what David Wells had been doing between the time the Padres cut him on Augus 6 and he was signed by the Dodgers last week. He was surfing, according to him.

Nation Of Islam Sportsblog Is No Longer Highly Respected
I've kept mum on all of the Deadspin Hall of Fame races thus far (remember, voting ends tomorrow afternoon), and this late into the game there are still some races up for grabs. A.J. Daulerio's Super Bowl weekend is still well below the pace for enshrinement, but if he thought events from this past ...

Jeff Burton, Brought To You By The Color Orange
In a world where race cars are stamped with as many corporate sponsors that will fit on the sheet metal, it's really weird to see a car with no logo on the hood or sides. Seriously, it looks like Jeff Burton (#31) is driving an oversized Hot Wheels car in this Getty photo. There's a (logical?) reas...

You Can't Kill Baseball Fans During West Coast Road Trips
We all knew baseball can keep kids out of trouble, give total strangers something to talk about, and sometimes give hope and solace to a grieving nation (see: 2001). But we didn't think baseball was capable of saving someone's life....


Honestly, What's NCAA Football Without Hugh Johnson?
High atop the Family Feud board of most popular questions Deadspinions posed to the Democratic Assembly of Deadspin Administrating Saturdays/Sundays (D.A.D.A.S.S.) was, "Who did Sussman bang to get the job?"
