Non-Chad Johnson TDs Suck
Instead of fining Chad Johnson for excessive touchdown celebrations, Paul Tagliabue should start fining Bengals who score TDs that aren't named Chad Johnson....
Artest Requests Trade
Saying that he "causes too many problems" in Indiana, Ron Artest has asked Pacers management to trade him. New York is his stated preference....
Is there any chance Vince Young wins this thing?
I really don't see it. The only outside chance Young has is if somehow, Leinart and Bush split the west coast votes, and that the east coast bias is far more powerful than any of us think. Actually, that wouldn't even work. It would have to be a Texas bias, or just an outright west coast hatred....
Birds get their claws back
CAW. CAW. Or, you know, whatever kind of a frightening noise a cardinal might make......
Week In Deadspin: Time For A Weekend Shindig!
• Clinton Portis can change your life, if you'll just let him in. • Michael Irvin, as you've often seen him before! • Luke Walton can't get anything free in this world. • Honestly, we think we could get Anna Benson to promote Deadspin merchandise right now, and for free. As long as the T-shirts w...
Athlete Run-In: Blocking Derek Lowe
Today's final athlete run-in story is about one of our favorite people around here: Famed party guy Derek Lowe, who never met a lady (or ladies) he couldn't slur over. This story almost makes you feel a little bad for Lowe, until you visit On The DL and check out some of the great tales over there...
Introducing Deadspin Weekends!
One of the most common complaints we hear about our beloved site here — other than "nice hair, you dope" — is that we do not update on weekends when, you know, all kinds of sports tend to happen then. Well, we've heard your fierce missives, and let it be known that your plaintive wails were not in...
Another Cardinal Home Razed
Another venerable institution is being razed this month — this one also home to a team called the Cardinals. Um, sorry, that's Cardinal. Stanford Stadium was built in 1921, in part inspired by the ancient Roman amphitheater in Pompeii, Italy. And what gladiators it played host to — Frankie Albert,...
Athlete Run-In: Julian Tavarez's Rocket Arm
Today's first athlete run-in story is about one of our favorite insane athletes, (former) Cardinals reliever Julian Tavarez, a guy just crazy enough not only to break his hand punching a phone in a playoff game, but then come out the next night and try to catch a comebacker with that very same han...
"Talkin' 'Bout 87, My Homey Reggie Wayne"
Meet Lil Ronnie. He's a 12-year-old from the "south side" (of Indianapolis) and he don't take nuttin' from no Colts playa haters....
Bro Sweets Will Juice You Up
Clinton Portis was back yesterday with yet another fractured segment of his personality, this one somewhat sweeter than the past ones, literally even. We proudly introduce "Bro Sweets," Clinton's most recent tortured mental sliver....
Athlete Run-In: John Kruk, Hero Of The People
Today's final athlete run-in story, to be honest with you, might be our very favorite so far. We might hate the guy on "Baseball Tonight," but there was a reason he was beloved (before his job was to talk for a living) not only in Philadelphia, but around the baseball world....
When Dr. J Stops Being Polite And Starts Getting Real
We've always been surprised that Julius Erving doesn't get more Wilt Chamberlain-esque cred for libido size. The guy fathers tennis players, shows up in sex tapes and pretty much is the walking manifestation of the dangers of Cialis. Plus, we've always thought he's the real-world equivalent of the...
Those Amazing Panthers Twins
Well, you know, all football players look alike anyway....
Athlete Run-In: David Wells' Special Talent
Today's first athlete run-in story is a brief one, but it's our favorite kind, because it involves David Wells and beer. Three beers, in fact. From a Cleveland reader:...
The Daily Destruction Of Busch
The saddest thing we've seen all day — and it's not even 11 — is this time lapse progression of the destruction of Busch Stadium, run daily since the last game in October....
Athlete Run-In: Where There Is Tom, There Is Tara
Today's final athlete run-in story is timely, because it involves current Sports Illustrated Sportsman Of The Year Tom Brady. We've documented Brady's nightlife exploits before, but this one has an even more fun addition: Tara Reid! From Scott in Kansas City:...
Introducing The Consumerist
We are most proud to introduce you to Gawker Media's newest assault on your synapses: The Consumerist, the 14th Gawker Media site (we used to be the 14th site around here, but then Oddjack went away, and now we're unlucky No. 13. Great). The Consumerist, helmed by the mucho-capable Joel Johnson, w...
Florida State's Diligent Student Body
Hey, remember yesterday, when we did that post about Florida State fans dressing all slooty-like? Well, turns out — as a couple of you mentioned in the comments yesterday — the ladies in the pictures are rather famous around Tallahassee, which we supposed shouldn't be a surprise....
Athlete Run-Ins: Joe Morgan's Tiny Finger
Today's first athlete run-in story is about everybody's favorite ESPN baseball analyst Joe Morgan. We're as shocked as you to hear he might be a bit of a jerk in public....
