Some Horses Like Wearing Silk More Than Others
Today's Breeders Cup has me in the mood to punch talk about horses and the magnificent sport of horse racing, so here's something you might not have known: War Emblem, 2002 Kentucky Derby and Preakness champion, is gay....
Week In Deadspin: World Series Hangover
• Hey, the Cardinals won the World Series. And, amazingly, we were there. • Ben Roethlisberger is wisely keeping his distance from the motorcycles. • Whoa. The Knicks won. • Harold Reynolds is coming, ESPN, he's COMING! So be ready. We went in depth on his suit. • GARRRRRRRRR! • Eagles fans are havi...
Time For Manning-Brady ... Uh ... What Number Are We On Now?
You might have heard: The Colts play the Patriots this weekend, which means it's time for more Brady vs. Manning stories. We think everyone's issues with Peyton Manning are nicely summed up by Kissing Suzy Kolber:...
We Haven't Had A Drink In A Lotta Years, But Now We're Gonna Have Us A Cold Beer
There's no one knows your life better than a brother that's near your age. He knows who you are and what you are better than anyone on earth. My brother and we said some unforgivable things the last time we met, but we're trying to put that behind us, and this trip is a hard swallow of our pride. We...
Rid Yourself Of Those "Cliffhangers"
It's time once again to ask the musical question: "Is that an extra large steel rescue pulley in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?" According to the Chicago Tribune, altitude sickness can be avoided by taking a large dose of sildenafil (better know as Viagra) with you on those strenuous...
Suddenly, Louisville Football Is Important
It's rare in something as storied as college football that you have a moment that is obviously the most important moment in a school's football history, but that's what happened in Louisville last night, with the Cardinals beating West Virginia 44-34 and putting them on a track to play in the Fies...
Look, An Important Weekday College Football Game!
We don't often get to write about important college football games here — that's usually MJD's job on the weekends — but we have a rare one tonight: A Thursday game between two undefeated teams that could very well decide who plays in the Fiesta Bowl for the BCS "Championship" on January 8. (January...
Stop Shuler Surrenders To The Polls
We have told you before about the noble quest of StopShuler.com, produced by a group of Redskins fans who want to keep their former quarterback — and current Congressional candidate — Heath Shuler from returning to Washington....
Please, Sir, Keep The Gutteral Utterances To Yourself
This is Al Argibay, and he has a goatee and, we presume, walks around making this arm motion all day. And he's pissed, because he was just thrown out of his gym for grunting too loud....
Yep, The Costume Works: We're Scared
If you were wondering what the Timberwolves' Mike James went as for Halloween this year — and we know you were — then now you know. He went as ... uh, this. Are we sure this isn't that Deelishis lady?...
Welcome, At Last, To Ron Artest's World
You might have missed it with all the business of watching parades of sexy nurses/witches/superheroes/hockey players pass by, but on Halloween, the new album from Ron Artest "dropped," as they say. It's called "My World," and it is apparently not inspired by the weird song Axl Rose put on the end of...
You Stay Classy, Buffalo
The wisdom of sending more of our troops to Iraq is making less and less sense to us, mostly because there are bitter, liquored-up Bills fans wandering around with nothing to do. Meet Patriots' fan Barry Donaghey, who was simply trying to enjoy a tailgate celebration with his pregnant wife followi...
Vince Carter, Back In Toronto: Awesome Idea!
Last night, the New Jersey Nets — our favorite team to play in NBA Live, by the way; if only they'd just move to Brooklyn already — handled the Toronto Raptors, helped of course by Vince Carter, whose exit from Toronto was one step removed from Tom Cruise refusing to leave the South Park closet unti...
Is Your Relationship With Barbaro All That It Can Be?
Even though he has faced many obstacles recently — including a stinging defeat in our Hall of Fame balloting of a couple of months ago — Barbaro has somehow always found the will to survive. And now the racehorse is on the verge of the most dramatic triumph of all, as doctors announced on Wednesda...
Clinton Portis Is Keeping Curious Company
We'll confess, we don't watch that "Flavor Of Love" show on VH-1; we remember once having good thoughts about Flavor Flav, many years ago, and just seeing the highlights of the show makes us extremely uncomfortable, like we're watching Reagan in the last throes of Alzheimer's or something. (We bet...
Drew Brees Hates The Witch He Has For A Mom
If Saints quarterback Drew Brees and his mother were, you know, speaking to each other, this would make for a rather awkward Thanksgiving. Fortunately, he hates her!...
It's Morning In America!
So, hey, good morning, everybody. What'd we miss?...
Message From the Guest Editor: Checking Out
So last night I psyched myself up for this task and came up with a little arc about how the day was gonna go: We'd start off as enemies, you mocking me relentlessly, me crying into my seventeen iced coffees as I frantically tried to provide content for two sites at once. But surely, I thought, as th...
