Congratulations, New York Yankees (Kind Of)
We're not sure what we can add to this photo. It's all yours. But we are curious: Wasn't it a little weird to see the Yankees celebrating so manically?...
Joba Is The New F—k Lion
By now, you've probably seen these photos of various New York Yankees rookies dressing up like characters from The Wizard Of Oz. We definitely enjoy Joba Chamberlain's impersonation of a f—k lion....
Congratulations, Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim
Because the "name change" of this Anaheim Angels was a dirty trick to sneak further into the Los Angeles market while adhering to contract obligations to keep Anaheim in the name, we will always refer to the franchise by its full, official, annoying name. (We think they should change it to, "The As...
Congratulations, Cleveland Indians
Every team that clinches a spot in the postseason will earn their own post this week, so we gleefully honor the Cleveland Indians, who happen to be the official 2007 postseason team of Deadspin. Yeah: That's an honor, really....
What Went Wrong With Beckham And The MLS?
This is the main picture you see of David Beckham anymore; sitting in a luxury box with his oddly named children, watching his "teammates" of the LA Galaxy play (and lose) without him. The rumors about Beckham being "lent" to England appear to be without merit, but, clearly, Beckham's first year in ...
College Games You'd Wade Through A Pile Of $#!+ To See
Only two games this weekend feature ranked opponents going head-to-head. But there are still plenty of intriguing non-conference matchups on the schedule. And you never know when a highly ranked team will shit the bed against an unworthy foe. Could Florida lose to Troy? Anything's possible now....
Osama Bin Drinkin' Is More Like It
"Hi, it's me again sports fans.

As Long As You Don't Pan Back, It's Amazing
Sports By Brooks points out what many missed after David Beckham's first MLS goal the other night: There were hardly anybody in the stands. Attendance was 17,223 at an arena that holds 27,000, and reports are there were 8,000 tickets given away. We doubt this will be a problem at the Meadowlands th...
Lots Of Announcers Saying "Bend It"
Any questions? I trust all of you who participated in the month-long orgy of Becklash after Goldenballs landed on our fair shores and healed his ankle poolside at Tom and Katie's will at least stay quiet for another week and let the rest of us enjoy last night's Hollywood moment....
"How's Tiger Doing?"
It is not, inherently, in the sports fan's nature to root for the dominant favorite. We love underdogs, the scrappy upstart coming from nowhere and upsetting the proverbial applecart; it's our own sad, tiny way of imagining that, sometimes, sports can speak truth to power....
David Beckham Actually Does What He's Paid To Do (For 20 Minutes, Anyway)
In all the hullabaloo of Rick Ankiel, John Daly and cockroaches crawling up Tony Romo's uniform, we almost forget the real story: David Beckham ran up and down a field for about 20 minutes!...
John Daly, Still Puffing Along

The MLS Is Expanding, With Or Without Beckham
David Beckham — or "Becks," as apparently people call him, though we've never actually met one of these people — could make his MLS debut tonight, maybe, for a few minutes, depending on whether or not he's feeling up to it. But no matter what's going on with Beckham, the league itself is moving forw...
