He Might Want To Lay Off The Nickname In Jail
So, for all of those who were losing faith in the justice system, you might this morning find yourself with some faith: Bears defensive lineman Tank Johnson is going to serve some jail time for the probation violation that involved all the, you know, artillery. A judge in Chicago sentenced him to 12...

Looking Back At Sosa's Halcyon Days Of Yesteryear

Oregon Ducks
1. Not that Aaron Brooks. From the same school that gave the sports world another Jaison Williams (current WR) and Steve Smith (former CB), comes current point guard and Pac-10 Player of the Year candidate Aaron Brooks. He can't throw 50-yard backward passes, but highlights before this season includ...
Marquette Golden Eagles
1. Commies and Question Marks Everywhere. Not only did little Joey McCarthy get his law degree at Marquette, the great Matthew Lesko attended Marquette undergrad. The question is, did he find a government grant to cover his bong water recycling program?...
Oral Roberts Golden Eagles
1. So, Then, Why The Hell Are You At Oral Roberts? The Golden Eagles, in the tournament for the second year in a row, are defined by their star player, Caleb Green. He's a 6-8 forward who has won the Mid-Continent player of the year award three years in a row, which I guarantee will never happen aga...
Gonzaga Bulldogs
1. Almost Howland. Twenty five years before his actions forced the residents of Spokane to explain why open sobbing by the leading scorer in college basketball is a perfectly normal reaction to a semi-realistic opportunity to win a NCAA tournament game, UCLA coach Ben Howland actually received his f...
Boston College Eagles
1. Our coach scared "the crap" out of Pitino. Forget the sophomoric jabs against coach Al Skinner. Sure Skinner and 1987 Kentucky Derby winner Alysheba have never been seen in the same place at the same time, and, all right, Skinner has an inexplicable mock turtleneck fetish, but so what? Skinner's ...
Greg Ostertag Plays Ping Pong Exactly Like You'd Expect Greg Ostertag To Play Ping Pong
What a thrill that must have been for this young man ... to launch ping pong balls in the direction of Greg Ostertag while he stands there expressionless and forces himself to occasionally move his arms just a tiny little bit. Lucky guy got to experience the same thing experienced by every opposing ...
It's Casual Dress During Spring Training
This guy was spotted in the stands of the White Sox-Cubs spring training game yesterday, and though we're not quite ready for that kind of fierce crosstown rivalry business just yet — it's like trying to have an argument too early in the morning, before you've had your IV of coffee — we like the spi...
Fever Pitch ... Throughout History
The Sporting News has a good piece about the evolution of pitching, which we read with interest until seeing the dreaded word "gyroball," which tends to provoke in us the same reaction as the word "disco." But until then there are some fun tidbits, such as the fact that until 1881, the distance from...
Brian Urlacher, Gleefully Handsy
What better way to start off your Friday morning than a Facebook photo of Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher grabbing a boob. A real, natural boob, too!...
Baseball Season Preview: Chicago White Sox
You might remember, from back at the beginning of the NFL season, when we previewed each team by having a writer we liked write about their favorite team....
Could Mark Cuban Be Taking Over Wrigley?
We're not sure whether Cubs fans should be happy or sad about this — we tend to think that it couldn't hurt! — but Radar Online reports (and they would know) that Mavericks madman Mark Cuban is deadly serious about attempting to buy the on-the-block franchise....
Deadspin Field Trip: The AJ Daulerio Going Away Roast
About a month ago, our own AJ Daulerio wrote, in his Cultural Oddsmaker column, that he dreamed of one day having a roast in his honor. Little did he know that the wheels were already in motion for that very thing....
