Every Bowl Game Will Most Likely Be a Letdown From Here on Out
Tonight's Orange Bowl game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons starts at 8 p.m., so consider this the post to keep comments lit up . Or I could just put up another Darrent Williams post and let people scream and yell all over that as they did last night. Considering la...
And in Less Bloody Shirt News....
Christ.This is a gratutitous mood-lightening post to veer off the whole Darrent Williams thing for a little while.The Williams story is important, it's tragic, but Jesus Christ, at this rate I'll be posting YouTube clips of Schindler's List to cheer myself up. Anyway, I have one more little piece of...
Javon Walker's Bloody Shirt
Here's the updated photo of Javon Walker post-limo shooting. Obviously, this sheds a little bit of light that Walker was in the vacinity of Williams as he died....
Domanick Nee Davis Refurbishes His Image
Make a mental note that the nicotine patch, Jenny Craig, or coffee enemas, are probably not enough to ensure a shiny new you this new year. Take a cue from Domanick Davis of the Houston Texans, who has decided to purge himself of himself by entering the 2007 season with changes to his haircut (brai...
So, What Was Javon Walker's Involvement?
Curious stories about the Darrent Williams tragedy seem to be popping up every hour, most of them surrounding wideout Javon Walker's whereabouts. Was he in the limo? Did Williams die in his arms? Did he show up to the Broncos facility with blood on his shirt as ESPN.com reported?...
Good Morning: Put the Lotion in the Baskett
Hello again. So, sorry for the depressing update yesterday. New Year's Day is an official "holiday" for Deadspin, but I felt like the Darrent Williams thing shoud've been something that was posted about to facilitate discussion to those of you not stuck at home with roaring case of post-New Year's...
Broncos Cornerback Darrent Williams Killed in Drive-By
Sad news out of Denver this morning. AP wire reports:...
Wilma McNabb Wafts Blog Fart in Middle of Garcia Frenzy
Well, this was bound to happen. At the height of Iggles mania, Wilma McNabb, mother to Eagle's injured starting quarterback Donovan McNabb has posted her thoughts about all the excitement surrounding Jeff Garcia's ascension into the greats of Philadelphia folk hero-dom. (You know with Pat Ryan and...
Just Blow Into This Tube, Mr. Tyson
Mike Tyson, ex-pugilist extraordinairre, gnawer of earlobes, raper of women, can add a new dubious title to his evergrowing legend: possessor of cocaine. Yes, its seems early yesterday morning in Scottsdale, Arizona, America's favorite boxer who can no longer box was pulled over during a routine che...
Good Morning: Do Not Underestimate This Gay Mexican
Mornin', Spinheads, A.J. Daulerio reporting for duty. I'll admit, I'm still a little hobbled from holiday excess: the nog drinking, the oversleeping, the Eagles euphoria, the late nights spent watching Tivo'd episodes of Rob and Big, and especially from the seven fish dinner on Christmas Eve at my A...
RAD: Greatest. Movie. Ever.
When Will asked if I was interested in being a guest editor for a day, I said, yes, but only on one condition: I was allowed to do a post about RAD ... the Greatest. Movie. Ever. Unfortunately, for some of you at least, Will told me to go crazy and write whatever the hell I wanted too. Woops!...
Oh Miller Don't Wanna Dance With Somebody
And thankfully, I won't have to watch him feel the heat with somebody. With somebody who (somebody who) loves him. Sigh....
Spit Shield Purchases Skyrocketing In North Carolina
Steelers head coach Bill Cowher, beloved in many places that are not Seattle, may have given some clues yesterday about his plans for the future. He didn't announce anything, but said he'd have something to say about it next week. If he was going to stay, though, why wait to say it?...
If She Were A Child, I Wouldn't Post This Picture
Venus and Serena Williams are adults, and therefore they're under no legal obligation to do what their father, Richard Williams, says they'll do. That apparently comes as news to two tennis promoters who sued Richard Williams, saying he backed out of a contract to have the sisters take on male tenni...
It's A Big Day For The Millen Haters
The latest in Lions fan protests is happening, oh, any time now. At some point in the second quarter, Lions fans are urged to walk out of Ford Field en masse. The goal, I believe, is not necessarily to voice their anger with Matt Millen, but rather with the guy who won't fire him, team owner William...
Duke Lacrosse Rape Charges Dropped
For those of you who still consider the Duke lacrosse rape case a sports story — we haven't for a long time; anything that makes that many people on basic cable scream into the camera immediately eliminates it from contention around here — the news just broke from Raleigh's WRAL station: Durham Dist...
Five Hours Ago, Dontrelle REALLY Had To Pee
That marriage ... (sips imaginary glass of bourbon) ... it's a tough racket. Just two weeks after getting married, Marlins pitcher (and awfully likable fellow) Dontrelle Willis has already discovered something about the institution: It'll drive you to drink. At 4 a.m. this morning in South Beach, Wi...
More Fun With Bruce Weber
Since we already devoted a whole post to a game that pretty much only we care about, we're not gonna bore you (again) with details of our Illini's 73-70 win over Missouri last night, the seventh straight win in the series. (Though it was a rather outstanding game, and some people even live-blogged...
