Mosley Knocks Out Mayorga At the Bell, Berto Cruises Past Forbes
With under a minute remaining in 12th round Sugar Shane Mosley floored the rugged Ricardo Mayorga for the first time in the fight. El Matador probably should have just stayed down and enjoyed a smoke. Instead he rose to his feet only to eat a crushing left hook about half of a second after referee ...
Ryder Cup Hero Anthony Kim Is Taking Over
"That was Anthony Kim on the seventh hole today. He'd hit his tee shot right up to the outside lip of a fairway bunker, and the ball sat on an ugly downhill lie 160 yards from the pin. Kim walked up, realized the ball would be about waist-high if he stood in the trap, and just shook his head. He lo...

HOLY CRAP! Phillies Win NL East On An Incredible Double Play
Jesus. Brad Lidge tried to give the entire city of Philadelphia a heart attack. In the top of the 9th with a two run lead, Lidge allowed a run to score and proceeded to load the bases.

Nobody Can Resist Andre Berto
Tonight's HBO Boxing card might be headlined by Sugar Shane Mosley against the aged Matador, Ricardo Mayorga, but the real show will be the co-feature starring my very own man-crush, Andre Berto. The former ESPN prospect of the year is a prospect no more, now he's a dynamic welterweight with a belt...
Olympic Gold Medalist Challenges Chad Ochocinco to Race
Dominating one sport isn't enough anymore for today's athletes. Apparently, if you're a professional football player, specifically an egomaniacal receiver, you think your skills translate to other venues. Chad Johnson wanted to race against Michael Phelps in the pool — not to mention a horse on a tr...
Hugh 2: UNC Steals TD Pass, Game From Miami
UNC defensive back Tremaine Goddard ripped Miami's game-winning touchdown out of the hands of Kayne Farquharson in the end zone. Farquharson had the ball (and the game) on his hands, only to have it pilfered by Goddard to save the game for the Tar Heels, 28-24. Almost as unreal as the video of a Hur...

The Gunners took a 1-0 lead shortly after the half o...
HUGH I: Uh Oh, Clemson Has Decided To Show Up This Week
Something strange happened on the way to Death Valley this afternoon—Clemson woke up. Tommy Bowden must have decided that this would be the one ACC game where he would actually prepare his team. C.J.

Fulmer Death Watch: Tennessee Can't Get Itself Untangled
In the midst of all the fellating of the Southeastern Conference this football season, we've lost track of how badly Tennessee is slipping out of the national profile. They blew a game against UCLA on national TV to start the year and were crushed by Florida. And now the future appears shaky; they'v...
Hunter Cant(Throw)Well Serves Up Pick-Six, Cards Mucked Again
After their 26-21 loss to Big East rival UConn, the Louisville Cardinals' short run as a nationally prominent football program seems to be winding down.

Week In Review: Dry The Rain
Hi there. After last night's Mets and Brewers victories, I'm legitimately worried. This time of the year it's all about momentum and those teams have it and the Phillies, sadly, do not. I'll say it right now — if the Phillies lose tonight, the season's over. As a long-suffering Philadelphia fan ever...
Bring It On! Deadspin Ladies Take On The Idaho Cheerleading Controversy
Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why no...
College Football Preview: The Blackout Is Coming to Georgia!
If you stayed up past midnight on the east coast last night to watch USC-Oregon State right now you're blearily wiping your eyes and cursing the decision as lunch nears and all you want to do is crawl under your desk and sleep.

Morning Blogdome: SI Gets Creepy Hand Syndrome With Shawn Johnson
• Notice the bottom left of the balance beam: Perhaps this was done intentionally to play up the whole "Children Of The Corn" theme they're going for. Or maybe it was just an overly excited Sports Illustrated photo assistant who just needed to touch Shawn Johnson's ankles. [Joe Sports Fan] • You imp...

The rapper personally responsible for rejuvenating hip hop has now cashed in a huge chunk of his street credibility for a chance to blog for ESPN.
