Welcome To The Golf Course, Baby ... You Gonna DIIIIIEEEE!
We hadn't seen any pictures of Axl Rose lately — we still imagine the former Guns 'N Roses frontman growing his fingernails long and collecting jars of his own urine, Aviator-style, while he watches Velvet Revolver videos and flicks a lamp on ... and off ... and on — but this more recent one struc...
Matt Millen's Discerning Eye For Genius
Whenever Lions general manager Matt Millen ("Fire Millen!") makes some sort of executive decision, we tend to sit up and take notice, if just so we can film it and send it into one of those blooper shows. Today's decision is the hiring ("Fire Millen!") of Buccaneers defensive line coach Rod Marine...

"Football! Go Steelers! Weeee!"
Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer has been having a grand time this week showing pictures of borderline insane sports fans and the lengths they will go to support their team; our personal favorites are the guy with all the Steelers tattoos and the Seahawks fan who calls himself "Cannonball."...
Life With Father
We've been reading the news about tennis star Jelena Dokic and the troubles she's been having with her dad, and we have to say, what father hasn't felt like dropping a nuclear bomb on his child at one time or another? Sure, there's going to be a certain amount of collateral damage. But you're the ...
Does This Make Him A Five-Tool Player?
Either huge fantasy sports Web site Rotoworld was hacked into around midnight last night ... or they're introducing a new category in fantasy baseball this year....
What Really Happened In The Stands? Nothing.
As most of you have probably already seen this morning, Knicks forward Antonio Davis ran into the stands last night in Chicago to "protect his wife from an intoxicated fan." Davis said, "I saw him touch her, and I know I should not have acted the way I did, but I would have felt terrible if I didn...

Need Tickets ... Need Tickets ...
We were complaining, oh, two posts ago, about not enough fans being appropriately ecstatic about the conference championship games this week, but in the host cities, that's anything but the case. It's time for our weekly look at the most expensive tickets on eBay (those that actually have a bid) f...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you work out some dance steps to "Sweet Shaun Alexander" ... • College Basketball: North Carolina State at Duke. Honestly, do people around here even realize that the Panthers are still playing football? [ESPN] • High School Basketball: Episcopal (Pa.) vs. Neumann-Goretti (Pa.), at ...
We Pity The Grant Wistrom
We're noticing a rather bewildering lack of excitement about the conference championship games this weekend; it's almost as if fans have pretended they're network executives and are frustrated there are no New York, Boston or Chicago teams playing. Come on, guys! It's the NFL! It's for the Super B...
Leftovers: Es usted pollo, Estados Unidos?
• Castro talks a little World Baseball Classic trash. [Waveflux] • Someone showing sense for once: Hill eschews NFL, will stay at Fresno State.

Commemorating Great Disasters
From the fine fratty lads at Thrillist comes an amusing collection of "novelty" T-shirts inspired by sports' lowest moments, or, at the very least, their most embarrassing....
Poll: Isiah Wins, But It's Closer Than You Think
Well, the results are in from our poll about a theoretical (for now) fight between Isiah Thomas and Bill Simmons, and, well, we're rather shocked: You give Simmons a lot better chance of winning this duel than we possibly could have though. Out of Deadspin readers, 46.2 percent of you think Simmo...
John Daly, Reality Television Hero
We've documented the comedic stylings of John Daly with much vigor around these parts, and now, apparently, inevitably, the world of reality television is now getting in on the act....
