Teach A Man To Fish... And He Will Bore Others On ESPN All Day Long
The "Super Bowl of Fishing" has put another day in the books, cutting the field down to 25 for tomorow's finale. For those of you who joined the Deadspin Bass Fishing Fantasy League, know that Luke Clausen is still in the lead with 44 total pounds of fishies. Terry Scroggins had the biggest haul o...
You May Have Helped Support Julia Mancuso's Training
Julia Mancuso earned a gold medal in the giant slalom yesterday, and, like many Olympians, she couldn't have done it without the support of her family, particularly her father Ciro Mancuso. "He came over when I was struggling a couple of years ago, arranged to get a car and a trainer in Austria, a...
Getting Your NFL Fix
I'm watching the NFL Combine this afternoon until basketball heats up, observing the extremely intimate workouts like the one pictured above. I knew that they measured size, strength, and performance in drills, but I didn't know that they gave thorough prostate exams. I guess it's never too early...
Bode Miller Completes The 0-fer
Mercifully, it is over. The Nike marketing blitz, the ever-present stubble, the brooding stare designed to say, "Yes, ladies, I am that deep"... all gone. After today, it will probably be a while before we hear the name Bode Miller again. His 2006 Olympic games concluded with a whimper as he strad...
Week In Deadspin: What We Missed While Floating Around
It might seem strange for us to try to recap a week in which we watched absolute no sports whatsoever, but we're gonna give it a try anyway....
Welcome To The World Of Fantasy Fishing
We really can't blame ESPN for this, because we suppose somebody has to host something like this, but we have spent that last half an hour giggling about fantasy fishing. We're sure there's someone out there in a smoke-filled poker room, staring down opposing owners in a game of fantasy fishing auct...
The Week in Photos
Yes, some poor demented soul sent us a bunch of David Hasselhoff photos (a cry for help, really). That's a top hat. And a frog. It serves as a disturbing and inaspicious start to our Week in Photos ......
Get Them To Sign On The Line That Is Dotted
These are the new sponsors. These are the Glengarry sponsors. To you, these are gold; you do not get these. Because to give them to you would be throwing them away....
Blogdom's Best: Indiana Pacers
It might not — yet — have the online fanaticism and cachet of baseball, but the NBA and its fans are starting to catch up in the world of team-devoted blogs. To this end, Deadspin salutes these modem-addled souls and proudly presents Blogdom s Best, given to the most outstanding blog for each NBA ...
Vince Carter Getting "Freaky?"
We were sent the following video from a fellow named Mr. Jones, claiming that Nets guard Vince Carter is shown frollicking in Cancun. If one can classify this activity as "frollicking." We will say that our vacation was nothing like this at all....
Ali G Hooks You Up
If you're like us, you had only one thought as Sasha Cohen was accepting her figure skating silver medal on Thursday: How would Ali G describe it? Check out Ali G's possible take on Cohen's silver at The Sports Pulse — which includes the line: "Me is not into batty boy bruvers so Johnny Weir stop ...
Intimate Fantasies About ... Aw, Jeez, HER?
Inspired by a look back at Tonya Harding's career a couple of days ago, a reader, who must be the sports fan equivalent of a cutter, did some research into Tonya and found something so disturbing that pointing it out to you makes us feel like we might be a bad person....
So, Did We Miss Anything?
After eight days floating around a tiny boat in the Caribbean sun, we are proud to say that we are back and, as they say, ready to rock. Our trip was most pleasant, thank you, and we even spent half an hour at the Nevis Sports Museum (apparently they play much cricket there)....
You Shouldn't Taunt a Longhorn, Probably
On Wednesday, we brought you the delicious, syrupy-sweet dreams of Texas Longhorns football draft prospect Michael Huff. Today, the news is a little more serious and heated. CBS SportsLine has released its top 10 NFL quarterback prospects, and let us just say that Longhorns fans are not pleased. V...
Sasha Cohen: Superstar!
We haven't stopped smiling since we first saw this last night — everyone's darling ice bunny, Sasha Cohen, is apparently even more full of herself than we were led to believe. That is, if the lip-reading ability of one of our readers is on the mark. And why shouldn't it be? Our readers have never ...
Hello, Nova Scotia!
G'day, eh. Just because you worship curling and your island will be the last place on earth to feel the effects of global warming, it's no reason for us to ignore you. So wake up, Nova Scotia, find your mittens, fire up the wood-burning stove and enjoy a special Atlantic Time Zone edition of About L...
Johnny Weir Goes Shopping
"I love to shop," says Johnny Weir. Color me shocked....
Bode Injures Ankle; Vows To Continue Failing Anyway
Playing a game of pick-up basketball in which the winners and losers aren't important, Bode Miller rolled his ankle. Bode is set to run his final Olympic event on Saturday, his fifth and final chance at a medal. But, there is good news. The ankle injury is not severe enough to keep Bode's indomita...
Shani Davis Is Huge in Holland
Nearly lost in the hullaballoo (I've never used that word before, and I have no idea why I'm starting now) of the Chad Hedrick/Shani Davis post-race news conference yesterday, is the fact that members of the Dutch curling team showed up for the sole purpose of heckling Chad Hedrick. In turn, I sup...
Tonya Harding, The Female Butterbean
The Sports Pulse takes a look back at the rise and fall (mostly fall) of Tonya Harding over the past twelve years. It's hard not to think about her and Nancy Kerrigan when the Winter Olympics roll around. It was a time when it was OK to be a figure skater and not appear to still going through pube...
