Jim Harbaugh Is Back In Town
Collegiate sports in the San Francisco Bay Area are — how shall we phrase it? — a little less intense than in other localities. For instance, if Auburn ever goes 1-11, expect that coach to show up at the next tailgate as the guest of honor, i.e., revolving slowly on a spit. But in Palo Alto, there w...
Peyton Manning Does Brief Alpha Dog Impression
See, this is what we were talking about. Going into last night's Monday Night game, the Bengals were the team with the defense that was playing well at the right time, the Colts were collapsing (because Tony Dungy isn't "tough" enough, or something) and the entire AFC was topsy-turvy, if you don't m...
The Last Worthy MNF Game, We Suspect
In what should be an awfully fun and hopefully high-scoring Monday night game, the Indianapolis Colts and the Cincinnati Bengals, teams going in the ole "opposite directions" storyline. This being the NFL, everyone will forget the storylines once, you know, they actually play a game....
The Official Deadspin Rocky Balboa Review
We don't know about you, but we have a sneaking suspicion part of our time spent back in Mattoon for the holidays is going to be spent seeing Rocky Balboa. It sure beats, you know, talking to your family....
Year In Review: July
We're reviewing each month of the past year leading up to New Years Day. We call it, imaginatively, "Year In Review." We're digging through our archives pretty well, but if you think we should definitely feature something for the last year that we might overlook, email us at [email protected] with s...
This Might Be Why They Wear Those Difficult-To-Take-Off Bodysuits
Because we don't quite provide everything you might need to feed your international skiing jones, you might not necessarily have heard of Silvan Zurbriggen, a Swiss skiier who is in Italy for a big slalom event. He was keeping himself busy, apparently; he was arrested for masturbating outdoors in fr...
Jim Mora Jr. Might Still Be The Coach, And Michael Vick Might Still Be The Quarterback
The NFL Network is the broadcast home of tonight's Cowboys vs. Falcons game, which means, of course, that many of you can't see it. Which makes this open thread even more important ... it might just be the best live coverage of the game that you can get....
Congratulations, Suzy Kolber Kissers
The voting has concluded at the 2006 Weblog Awards, and your winner is will be... Kissing Suzy Kolber, a site that's been mentioned here on Deadspin once or twice. The results haven't been made final or official, and they won't be until Monday. I guess they want some extra time to check for ballot...
Columnist Pays Quincy Carter's Bail
You've probably heard by now about former Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter's arrest yesterday. Carter was charged with possession of marijuana after police showed up for a complaint about a domestic disturbance....
Week In Deadspin: Rockin' The Local 138
• We like to listen to John Rocker talk. Jeff Pearlman? Not so much. • Miami-FIU. What could possibly go wrong? • When Joey Porter and Kellen Winslow feud, it's a catfight, MEOW! • Joel Zumaya has BLISTAS ON HIS FINGAS! • Welcome back leather! (And no Berman jokes here!) PETA is not happy. • It's li...
We Always Thought It'd Be Better To Be A Fake Somebody Than A Real Nobody
No matter what you do, no matter how awful ... no one ever thinks that they're a bad person....

Reminding Your Opponent Who Is No. 1
It was the ancient Greeks who brought us the sport that would become modern competitive wrestling, and if we've learned anything from the Greeks, it's this: One man's wrestling move is another man's anal sex. In a story we're a little behind late in reporting from Sioux Falls, S.D., a high school ...
New Mexico's Quest For Newer, More Fertile Land
You know, we're starting to think that perhaps the Mexico family has some issues....
That Thar Deer Has Some Extra Appendages
Rick Lisko is a bearded Wisconsin mountain man who doesn't love much more than busting out his bow and slicing away some deer. But his biggest catch was a deer he hit with his truck; it turned out to have seven legs and both male and female reproductive organs....

When Bobby Comes Marching Home Again Hurrah, Hurrah
It's time we all thought about it: What sort of frenzied, de Gaulle-returns-to-Paris scenario will erupt when Barbaro is finally released from the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center? Although his doctors will not be rushed into issuing a time frame for his withdrawal (hmm, that sounds fa...
Marvin Lewis' Reindeer Games
This has already made it around a bit, but because we're feeling festive and full of the holiday spirit this morning, so we thought we'd share this special video, put together to the tune of "Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer" — not typically one of our holiday favorites — and concerning Marvin Lewis an...
Joey Porter Didn't Mean To Offend You; He Just Meant To Offend The Fag
Just because his team has been a disaster this year doesn't mean that Steelers linebacker/insano Joey Porter can't still stir some shit up. Yesterday, Porter apologized for calling Kellen Winslow a "fag."...
