To Watch Tonight
What you're not going to watch because you're not grounded after all ... • College World Series: LSU vs. North Carolina, in Omaha (7 p.m., ET). Two teams enter, one team leaves. Who run Bartertown? [ESPN] • Major League Lacrosse: Washington at Boston (7:30 p.m., ET). Well, another Boston pro sports ...

Maybe it was time for one writer to stop slobbering over Tiger Woods' U.S. Open victory, but San Franciso Gate columnist Gwen Knapp appears to have gone a little overboard with her contrarianism. In her column titled " A golfing genius takes a dumb step", Knapp just levels Eldrick for his outright s...

Racewalking Is Serious Business
Of all the weird events at the Olympics coming up, our favorite is speedwalking. (It's actually called racewalking.) They look so goofy!...
Offend Lance Armstrong, And Face The Consequences
The hatred so many people in the cycling world have for Lance Armstrong once seemed a little bewildering to us outsiders. The guy beat cancer! He's the only reason anyone has ever cared about cycling! He pisses off the French! What's not to like? And then he started dating Kate Hudson and jogging wi...
Justin Gimelstob: Tennis Shlub, Sound Bite Provocateur
Who is Justin Gimelstob, you ask? Great question. He is a former pro tennis player now kicking around on the World Team Tennis, as a player for the Washington Kastles. He's also a writer for SI.com, which is more than enough reason for Bog king Dan Steinberg to get some hilariously candid quotes fro...
Long Beach Armada Pulling Out All The Stops For The Plumber
It's time once again for the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award-winning series Minor Enterprise, where we extol the virtues of minor league baseball, its promotions, and the women who love them....
Media Approval Ratings: John Feinstein
The first time we ever read a book that had the word fuck in it was in John Feinstein's Season On The Brink. Bobby Knight liked to say that word a lot. It was also the first time we had seen the c-word. We were 14 years old....
Eli Manning And Wife In Desperate Need Of A Queer-Eyeing
The evolution of Eli Manning from underachieving dim-expressioned yokel to high society Super Bowl hero has hit a rough patch, as the fashionistas of the New York Post have lashed out at Eli and his new bride, Abby McGrew, for their questionable fashion sense during the recent snob-infested Contem...
Kevin Millar: Word To Your Mother
Because we're video crazy this morning, Bromoblog has uncovered an apparent bet between Jason Varitek and Kevin Millar on the NBA Finals; loser has to come to bat to Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby." Apparently Millar lost....
What's More Fun Than Sprinting California Rolls?
It's a lazy, post-Finals Thursday morning, with the sports world mostly taking a deep breath to relax over the next month and a half. We're going to spend most of our day waiting for our parents' plane to arrive and trying to direct them through the vagaries of the New York City subway system. (Hone...
Roger Clemens Sells Car To Bret Michaels In Order To Save Himself
All of this legal kerfluffling is becoming a real financial drain for Roger Clemens, and now he has to start liquidating some of his assets to hopefully pay his way out of jail and back into the good graces of baseball fans and historians....
Trey Wingo Wants To Remind Everyone Of ESPN's Plebian Roots
NFL Live's silver-haired lead dog Trey Wingo is one of the more likable chaps over at ESPN and straddles the line between Disney drone and regular guy better than most other WWL employees. Wingo took some time away from cuddling with Mark Schlereth to speak to Dan Levy's OnTheDL podcast and gave an...
The Beery Nine Over The Siamese From The West
Slate's Robert Weintraub, like many of us, loves the old purple prose of early 1900s sportswriting, the Grantland Rices, the men who painted epic tales of warriors, grizzled combatants and lardywarks too manly to wear gloves. In an occasional series, Weintraub writes about the week's best baseball g...
After The Quake: Penetrating Strangeness
The Olympics begin in August, and they're in China, so, you know, it should be a rather fascinating world event, if you're into fascinating world events. And we are proud to welcome back our Deadspin Beijing Bureau, our own trio of correspondents living in China and reporting on everything they see...
Media Approval Ratings: David Aldridge
It seems like an extremely long time ago that David Aldridge was on ESPN. He almost seems the exact opposite of what the network wants out of its NBA coverage....

Celtics Fans Deliriously Happy, Somewhat Hung Over This Morning
• "Michelle You Look Great Tonight Girl!" I love Kevin Garnett but he officially scared the hell out of me tonight! Did you see Michelle Tafoya trying to interview him right after the buzzer sounded at half court? He went off on some crazy rant, looked at the camera with evil eyes, told Michelle she...
Congratulations, 2008 NBA Champions Boston Celtics
We spent last evening at Professor Thom's , the Boston sports bar here in New York City. (Apparently, it used to be Riviera's, but then some bartenders got fired, or something; it's difficult to keep track of such matters.) We were engulfed in a swarm of New Englanders, the people who, over the las...
There's No Stopping The Green Monster
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who plans to spend the day celebrating the Boston's long-awaited 17th title. This almost makes up for Larry Bird transforming into a fat gremlin. When he's not doing green and white shots, he can be found trying not to toss his cookies at Basketbawful. Enjo...
