Where My Team Stands: Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom....
Hoo Boy, Those Ravens Are Not Skilled At Football
Son of a Travis Henry, these Week 4 games are starting off boring. Let's check how each game stood at halftime, because that's how the other weekend guys were doing it, I think:...
You'd Think LeBron Would Be Accustomed To Being Surrounded By Nobodies
Like many of you since 1996, I missed Saturday Night Live last night, hosted by LeBron James, and have only the YouTubery offered up by NBC to go on. In this case, the monologue ("LeBronologue!" Oh, what whimsy!) was my favorite. There was also a High School Musical skit that had so much potential, ...
Kiheimahanaomauiakeo Kiheimahanaomauiakeo
This young man is Bronson Sardinha, a September callup by the Yankees and a native of Hawaii. You can tell he's from Hawaii, because he has the strangest middle name we've ever heard from a Major League Baseball player....
Who Will Be The Next Athlete To Have A Kinky Sex Fetish Revealed?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
OJ's Different, More Philly Lawyer
One of the nice things about these new O.J. Simpson charges, for journalists, is that it's a helluva lot easier to get Simpson's attorneys on the phone than it was 12 years ago. This is no high priced dream team; this is a guy named Yale from South Jersey, and now he's chatting with AJ Daulerio....
Trojans Fans Have Their Eyes On The Prize
It is good to know that USC fans, with their team continuing to steamroll opponents, taking a moment to support the underdog....
Hockey's Almost Here, In Case You've, Like, Forgotten Eh
If Chris Simon and Ryan Hollweg are trying to kill each other, you know that the NHL regular season can't be far off. Saturday, to be exact; unless there's an earlier game I didn't detect, which is entirely possible. Anyway, drama on the slippery surface! If you're planning on attending an opener, h...
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...
Yes, In Fact, It IS Tebow Time
Dan Shanoff writes a weekly college football column for Deadspin. Email him to let him know what you think....

It's Good To Be Jimmy Johnson
On a lazy Friday afternoon, we present to you, apropos of nothing, a montage of Jimmy Johnson looking ridiculous....
Putting A Price On OJ
We all had a few days of respite, a few days of safety, but as everyone now knows, OJ Simpson is now back out on the streets, somehow making a $125,000 bail. (Do the Goldmans get that money if he's convicted?) Now that we realize he can be arrested for stealing his own property — if it's really his ...
Seattle Is Hooked On Phonics
Forgive us, considering this post is pretty tenuously related to sports, but ... we were in Seattle last week for sports, so maybe that counts. Maybe....
Topless Ping Pong, Your Time Is Now
If you're like us here at Deadspin, attending topless ping pong tournaments is not only a hobby, it's a way of life. But the last thing you expect is that ESPN will be on hand to televise one of the events. If you pan the crowd, I demand that my face be blurred! But 100 Percent Injury Rate asks the ...
OJ Simpson Is Unbreakable
Our favorite thing about this whole O.J. Simpson business is that he seems legitimately unconcerned about any of these charges, despite the fact that he's been in jail for a few days and will be arraigned on six felonies today. He's whistling dumb songs, he's making "what happens in Vegas staying in...
