I Caught You A Delicious Bass ...
While Japan and Cuba were duking it out in San Diego for the first World Baseball Classic title, a few miles away two other sportsmen were writing their own chapter in the history books. Meet Mac Weakley and Jed Dickerson, who on Monday caught a 25.1-pound bass. That's one whopping huge-ass bass i...
Why We Can't Take The White Sox Seriously
This might have something to do with the fact that they're not even the most popular team in their hometown, but we think it might be more simple than that. It might be hijinks like their stunt with TNA Wrestling, the video of which can be seen above. (TNA is also doing some sort of promotion with t...

We re only a couple of weeks from Opening Day, so it s time to start previewing the season. Inspired by an old feature on The Black Table, we re going team-by-team and distributing Four Things You Don t Know about them. If you have suggested oddities on your team, send them to us at tips@deadspin....
That Probably Hurt...
Washington advanced to the Sweet 16 with a narrow 3-point victory over... you know what, there's a certain Deadspin editor who would probably rather that this game was never mentioned on this site. So I'm not going to say anything about, other than Washington's Brandon Roy is a stud. And, um... so...
We've Established What You Are. We're Just Haggling On Price
At first, when we heard about Fan For Hire, we yawned a bit. At first glance, it's just another sports fan trying to make a bit of cash by "auctioning off" his "loyalty." We have no problem with this — there are so few opportunities sports fans have to actually make money rather than, you know, sh...

Now Playing First Base, Bugs Bunny. Second Base, Bugs Bunny. Shortstop ...
We mentioned this yesterday, but it got us to thinking: What was the greatest baseball game ever played? Game 7 of the 1960 World Series between the Yankees and the Pirates? Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World" that gave the Giants the 1951 pennant over the Dodgers? Well, no such discussion...

A Movie On ESPN That Might Not Suck
I'm looking forward to "Through The Fire," ESPN's documentary about the life of Sebastian Telfair during his senior year of high school. It won Best Documentary Feature at the 2005 Urbanworld Film Festival, the Audience Award for Best Documentary at 2005 AFI Fest, and was a Spotlight Selection at ...

Squeaky Johnson Was Not Well-Oiled
Memphis won the Conference USA tournament this afternoon with a 57-46 victory over the UAB Blazers and my favorite name in the nation, Squeaky Johnson. Squeaky finished with just four points on 2-of-10 shooting. The win probably wraps up a 1-seed for John Calipari and the Tigers....
Michigan Wolverines
1. Head Coach Tommy Amaker Is Squeaky Clean. That's what you would expected for a four-year starter under Mike Krzyzewski. But as good as Amaker played at Duke, he and the other five former Duke assistant coaches under Mike Krzyzewski have 13 NCAA appearances in the equivalent of 53 seasons to their...

Memphis Tigers
1. It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp. Memphis really, really wants to make it to the Final Four. It has been 21 years since the Tigers went that deep in the tourney. In that year, Prince won an Oscar for the Purple Rain soundtrack. This year, Memphis' own Three 6 Mafia wins an Oscar for original song in...
