Shocking New Evidence In The Natalie Nelson/USC Song Girl Investigation
You remember Natalie Nelson, the USC Song Girl who infamously cheered for the wrong team when Texas scored a touchdown in the 2006 Rose Bowl. She's back in the news, as Scott Wolf of the Los Angeles Daily News has unearthed a photo of Ms. Nelson at a 2006 Halloween party wearing as her costume ... a...

Faltering Bills Encouraged By Female Makeout Session
First it was the man and woman getting it on in one of the restrooms, and now this ... as a couple of apparently hot chicks celebrate a Bills touchdown on Monday Night in their own special way. Who would have thought that Ralph Wilson Stadium would be the NFL's hot, sensual love palace? Just what el...

The Phillies Put One In the Win Column Already
Home Run Derby kicks off its World Series coverage in the classiest way possible, by pitting the Ball Girls of the Philadelphia against those people that jump on top of the dugout for the Tampa Bay Rays. So far, the Ball Girls are trouncing the Rays in online voting poll, which will hopefully be eno...

Twelve-Year-Old Girl Kicked Off Boys' Basketball Team For Being Too Good
Oh man, those boys on that basketball team are done. Jaime Nared is a 12-year-old, 6-foot, 1-inch basketball player from outside Portland, OR. She's just finished sixth grade and she's now playing with a girls high school traveling team because she's too good to play with girls her own age. Perhaps ...

Rent a USC Song Girl for $150
The only catch is that you have to fill out a request form. Of course the form requires you to answer a few pressing questions. Such as, "What do you want the Song Girls to do?" I'm sure you can manage that. In fact, there's a good chance you were thinking of what you'd like the Song Girls to do, b...

Those Chinese Certainly Know How To Conduct A Job Search
It's been both enjoyable and sad to see some of the stories coming out of Beijing. It's been seemingly one unpleasant discovery after another, between the poor girl who was deemed unpretty enough to sing the Chinese national anthem and the faux ethnic kids around the flag during opening ceremonies. ...

When It Comes Right Down To It, Maybe Cheerleaders Really Are Just A Bunch Of Brazen Exhibitionists
Late last night Deadspin received an email with the subject " Former USC Song Girl Sarah Carmona" which, even though harmless enough, can only mean something salacious would be attached. True to form, the accompanying emailer described the pictures yanked from Ms. Carmona's Facebook page which inclu...

Your 2008 USC Song Girl Scouting Report
The USC Song Girls have already given us so much. We've thrilled to their daring poolside athleticism, shown concern over their reckless abuse of our natural resources, marveled at their bikini greatness, investigated their booties and laughed at their sheer, utter blondness. They even write for ESP...

Soon Jerry Buss' Invincible Laker Girl Army Shall Be Complete. Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha!
The Los Angeles Times may not have a handle on every story, but by God they had a reporter up at 8 a.m. on Saturday to cover Laker Girls auditions. By his own admission, Adam Rose took "about 350" photos, plus some video, the latter which he hasn't posted yet. Hopefully he was invited and not just h...

Video Of Milka Duno Towel-Snapping Danica Patrick, After 60 Long Minutes, Finally Surfaces
I was ready to move on from this particular story thinking there was no footage of this argument, and eventually concluding it was a lame altercation to begin with. But as the FanIQ headline says, "It's Just as Awesome as We Thought." Crystal clear audio. A towel snap. And a predominantly male pit ...

Mid-Ohio Endures IRL Cat Fight Epidemic
If the concept of Ohio depresses you, at least the cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Youngstown, and Toledo all lie on or near the state border, opening up hopes and promises of other states. But Mid-Ohio? That's a lot of driving to exit the state, and driving in rural Ohio is a good way to lose one'...

Cuervo Girl Throws A Pretty Decent Splitter
There are many many reasons to enjoy AVP Tour volleyball, not the least of which is pictured here. Becoming a Cuervo girl, I hear, not only requires a certain body type, but one must also have a variety of promotional mini-volleyball deliveries. This one here appears to be two-seam fastball. But I c...

Paul Shirley, And The Frustrations Of The NBA Finals In Spain
Former NBA player Paul Shirley is the author of Can I Keep My Jersey?: 11 Teams, 5 Countries, and 4 Years in My Life as a Basketball Vagabond. He is currently in Spain, and writes today for Deadspin about the difficulty of trying to watch Game 1 of the NBA Finals...

His Lawrence Phillips Jersey Was In The Wash
Among the many wonders of Walt Disney World in Orlando are the Magic Kingdom, Space Mountain, and of course the occasional kid wearing the Mark Chmura jersey. Guess who's not allowed in the hot tub portion of the hotel pool?...

But Where Are Rich Garces' Tits?
And...we're off. Welcome to today's first plummet into non-newsworthy despicability intended for the sole purpose of making your work day more amusing....

Danica Patrick No Longer A Pretty Girl Who Can't Win Races
It feels like it took longer than Phil Mickelson's first major, but the petite open-wheeled racer finally reached the checkered flag before a bunch of chauvinistic war-starting toilet-seat-leaving-up booze-crazed horndogs in Japan this weekend, becoming the first female to win a major auto racing ev...

Come For Soaking Wet Cheerleaders, Stay For The Goodwill
First of all, kudos to the guy seated at the table on the right; watching cheerleaders plunge into a swimming pool while wearing a comical top hat is pretty much why we all went to college. And, hold it ... the cheerleader in the back there; that pose looks strikingly familiar. Yes, I thought so! ...

Shaq's New Diesel
The black Perez Hiltons over at Media Take Out unveiled some photos of Shaq and his post-divorce hook-up, who if memory serves me correct, looks alarmingly similar to Shaq's ex-wife, Shaunie. (It seems Shaq has a thing for cinnamon-colored ladies with Legend of Billie Jean haircuts. )...
