Deadspin HOF Nominee: Marcus "New Mexico" Vick
We can't take credit for the beauty that is Ron Mexico, because it came before our time, so we can only have fun with the next best thing: His little brother Marcus, who has the most fun you can possibly have without actually having herpes....
Jeff George Was Fun While He Lasted
It might be the most talented class of roster cutdowns in NFL history. Charlie Rogers, Najeh Davenport, Ron Dayne, Lee Suggs, Marcus Vick, and quite sadly, Jeff George, were all released yesterday as NFL teams had to get down to the 53-man roster limit....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: JJ Redick
Former Duke popped collar shooting guard J.J. Redick has been a consistent source of amusement around here for a while now, from the typical bashing of Duke to his crying during the NCAA Tournament to his weird video game experiences...

The ULTIMATE Electrolyte Power Boost!
It has been a while since we have played any organized competitive athletics, so we're a little behind on all the latest innovations in the world of sports beverages meant to quench thirst and replenish, uh, fluids or something....
Younger Barfield Tells His Story (On MySpace, Of Course)
Yesterday, we told you about an incident in which the son of former Blue Jays slugger Jesse Barfield pushed his dad down the stairs. We haven't had any official followup to that story, except in the one place athletes actually speak anymore: Their MySpace page!...
A Warning To The Women Of San Antonio
This comes our way from Media Take Out, and there's probably no real reason to believe that it's true, but it's a hell of a story nonetheless. A woman claims that she met former New York Knick and current San Antonio Spur Jackie Butler at the 40/40 Club in New York a few months ago....
Luke Donald's Going To Need A Huge Pair Of Balls
I'm going to try to not make this post entirely about Tiger Woods, as tomorrow's golf post will probably be entirely about Tiger Woods. But yeah, Tiger Woods is tied with Luke Donald for the lead of the PGA Championship after 54 holes. Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods....
Yeah, We Want To Simulate THIS Guy
A couple of weeks ago, we told you about JJ Redick's appearance on the cover of NCAA College Hoops 2K7. Well, it turns out, it's much worse than you thought: They're actually doing the whole mo-cap suit thing to simulate his movements....
NBA Rookies, Striking A Pose
Over the weekend, the NBA had its Rookie Photo Shot, which features various NBA pups posing in various manly poses, except for JJ Redick, who of course looks like he's auditioning for the Rock Chalk Dance Team....
Next Up: Gran Turismo!
We are not, as of this writing, professional marketers. We are confused by what people use to sell their products. We skipped class a lot: Sorry....
Keith Van Horn's Contribution To Society Has Been Judged More Valuable Than Yours
We all know and have long ago accepted that professional athletes make too much damn money, but nothing hammers that point home quite like peeking at SI.com's list of the 50 highest-earning American athletes in sports and seeing Chris Webber, Michael Finley, Jason Giambi, and Stephon Marbury all in ...
Men, Keep Your Wives From Bill Belichick
OK, so it turns out that Patriots coach Bill Belichick is quite the swordsman....
What Game Are They Playing Here?
Someone sent us this photo from sort of cricket match this weekend. We don't watch cricket — we know, like, one guy who does, and he doesn't know who Peyton Manning is, if that tells you anything — so we're not up on the rules....

Your Knicks Highlight Video
We have a feeling you could probably put together 15-20 ugly plays by any player, in any sport, and make them look like the worst player on earth. That said, this montage of Malik Rose "highlights" from last season still made us laugh ... mainly just because it's the Knicks. We'd love to see similar...
Your World Cup Halftime Entertainment
Courtesy of Caddychicks.com. What better way to spice up your boring, uneventful round of golf than by hiring young co-eds to ride along with you, get your ball, grab your tee, or,um, just stand around and look hot. If only they had this service for all intramural sports: intramuralsoftballchicks...
