But When You Get Down To It, Isn't Every Night K-Fed Night?
Whenever baseball fans are asked who they would most like to see honored at a minor league ballpark, the answer inevitably rings out: Kevin Federline! Well, the Fresno Grizzlies have heard your desperate pleas: Get ready for K-Fed Night, as Mr. Spears himself — a Fresno native — will be the focus ...
Introducing The Deadspin Hall Of Fame
As disconcerting as it might be to consider or even comprehend, our little Hall of Justice here at Deadspin is not yet one year old. We started up the day before the NFL season began last year. We are completely bewildered as to how to feel about our upcoming one-year birthday: It both seems ridicul...
NFL Season Preview: Washington Redskins
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting ...
Rik Smits And His Tiny Bikes
We have had many thoughts about former Pacers center Rik Smits in our lives — Really. We have. — mostly involving his unique ability to look like the answer to the question: What would happen if aliens could grow mustaches?...
PTI's Devilish Podcast
Ever wonder what "Pardon The Interruption" would sound like if it were hosted by Satan? (Please leave your Dan LeBatard jokes at the door ... if at all possible, anyway.)...
Barlow Apologizes For Dropping H-Bomb On 49ers
You know, you can almost understand why an athlete would drop a Hitler reference so flippantly, without much thought. We mean, do you really think they have spent a lot of time studying the time frame? Do you really believe Kevan Barlow is like, "As a World War II scholar, I understand absolutely ...
NFL Season Preview: Cincinnati Bengals
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting ...
Willie McGinest, Logic Monolith
This picture of new Cleveland Browns defensive end Willie McGinest — by the way, did you realize where Browns training camp was? Berea! — shows him wearing No. 55, the number he has worn since he played for USC more than a decade ago....
Minor Enterprise: An Interview With Mr. Celery
Welcome to Minor Enterprise, where each Wednesday we preview, and occasionally review, the great events and promotions of minor league baseball. If you have a tip about a minor league promotion, or perhaps you've been arrested for public drunkeness while wearing a mascot beaver costume, contact us...
We Don't Know How Hootie Didn't Sneak In This Video
We couldn't decide which dopey fan cheer song we were going to go with today: This brand new Reds one or the above Dolphins video from the early '90s. We decided to go with the Dolphins one, if just because we figured we'd look bitter and/or scared if we just focused on the Reds....
NFL Season Preview: Indianapolis Colts
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting ...
Clinton Spends His One Night A Year With His Brother At Shea
We didn't notice this from our seat about three miles overhead, but former President Bill Clinton was at Shea Stadium last night, saying the fact that the Cardinals were the visiting team was at least part of the reason he came by....
It's Always Better To Stay On The Couch
Ugh. Remind us why we go to games in person again?...
Marathon Man
Sometime during the night not long ago, Dean Karnazes sat bolt upright in bed and exlaimed: "Fifty marathons in fifty days ... in all fifty states! That's it!" Unfortunately, there was no one there to humanely smother him with his own pillow, and so here we are....
Eric Karros Wants You To Know He Finds Erin Andrews Hot
We know it's somewhat of a popular parlor game to rank the attractiveness of female sideline reporters, and it makes a modicum of sense, considering the job of sideline reporter isn't inherently, you know, demanding....
Little League President Will Hold Breath Until Yankees Give Him More Cash
We knew it would be fun having Staten Island as a representative in the Little League World Series, and indeed, they haven't disappointed. First, the team had a, um, colorful game in pool play on Sunday, which ended with a slap. Then today we learn that Staten Island Little League president Bob Jo...
Younger Barfield Tells His Story (On MySpace, Of Course)
Yesterday, we told you about an incident in which the son of former Blue Jays slugger Jesse Barfield pushed his dad down the stairs. We haven't had any official followup to that story, except in the one place athletes actually speak anymore: Their MySpace page!...
New Buzzsaw Stadium Could Be Named After Female Genitalia
You might know that the Buzzsaw's new STATE OF THE ART football stadium currently is called "Cardinals Stadium," which, considering its lack of proper monetary compensation, is not a name that's likely to stick any longer than Bill Bidwell can cash a check....
And The Lord Said: 'Matches Shall Be Two Out Of Three Falls. And No Gouging.'
We're not sure at which sports the Son of God excelled (the Bible is curiously silent on the issue), but we just bet He would have been a ferocious wrestler. Heights Baptist Church in Beech Island, S.C., apparently agrees, which is why they started a "Wrestling For Jesus" ministry three years ago. A...
