Andrew Walter Will Hear Your Confession Now
We're a bit late on this, but alas:...
Look, A Survey
The Gawker people have asked us to give you this survey. They have asked us to tell you that if you take this survey, you can have a chance to win "one year of the unlimited, three-at-a-time, Netflix subscription," by sending the answer to "what the last question asked" to [email protected]. They h...
Andy Roddick Is Not That Jacked Up
Last week, TMZ pointed out that the new cover of Men's Fitness featured a suspiciously pumped-up Andy Roddick. Well, Roddick himself has chimed in, in that wonderful English we've come to love and expect from our professional tennis players....
Tyler Clippard, Dane Cook Fan
Yankees fans rejoiced — well, maybe rejoiced was the wrong word — when rookie Tyler Clippard avoided a sweep at the hands of the Mets on Sunday night. And, as Newsday pointed out yesterday, it brought all kinds of new friends to Clippard's MySpace page. So we're happy to send a few more over....
JoePa Will Put Your Ass To Work
We love Joe Paterno. Whereas many coaches would discipline their players for a campus fight by suspending them or — more likely — not doing anything at all, the Penn State legend is forcing them to clean the inside of the stadium....
Ken Griffey Jr. Should Be A Billionaire By Now
A sun-splashed Saturday afternoon, on a Little League Field somewhere in America:...
Donyell Marshall Apparently Doesn't Care Enough About LeBron's Legacy
It is only through the filter of Michael Jordan, the man whose ghost still floats above everything LeBron James does both on and off the court, that LeBron's 10-point performance in the Cavs' 79-76 Game 1 loss to the Pistons can be considered a failure. It was the best of all possible scenarios for ...
Cavaliers Get The Chance To Make Us Care
At this point, most of the NBA world is so afraid of a Spurs-Pistons final that they're willing to do anything to prevent, even rooting for a listless, clearly distracted LeBron James to fulfill some sort of imaginary destiny. We'll find out if he can start it off tonight. Surely, if the Bulls can w...
Welcome, Jezebel: Turn To The Worship Of Her God Baal
The classy, bombastic lovely ladies seen here are the editors of the newest site from our benevolent benefactors at Gawker Media, Jezebel, which launched today. The basic premise of the site is mapped out in a manifesto about the five biggest lies that women's magazines spew. Personally, we've alway...
Fun With Ambidexterity: It's Pat!
A while back we told you about Creighton's Pat Venditte, whose main claim to fame — besides being a college junior who looks like he's 12 — is that he can pitch with both hands. OK, perhaps not that impressive when you put him next to the Amazing Rubber Boy, but we have trouble picking up a fork lef...
Free Darko Playoff Pants Party: Pistons Vs. Cavaliers
The NBA's Eastern Conference Finals begin tonight, if you can muster up the energy to watch....
A Gruesome End To All That
David Hirshey writes regularly for Deadspin about soccer....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while mopping up the loose teeth ... • NBA: For those who didn't watch it — which is pretty much everybody, we have a feeling — Spurs 108, Jazz 100. • NHL: If Emilio Estevez shows up, we're leaving ... Ducks 2, Red Wings 1 OT. • Tennis: Feat Of Clay ... Roger Federer ends Rafael Nada...
Consider This Your WNBA Season Preview
It's time to break out the glittered wigs and fanny packs ... the WNBA, or, as I like to call it, Diana Taurasi's secondary source of income, sees their 2007 season kick-off today. The Detroit Shock take on the Sacramento Monarchs at 3:30 on ABC today, which probably has nothing to do with why the W...
Chelsea Are Your FA Champions
It must've been a rough morning for our pal David Hirshey. Not only did Chelsea get a 1-0 win when Didier Drogba scored in extra time, but it came at the end of a game that's been described as "rubbish football" and "cack."...
Who Will Win the 2007 Scripps National Spelling Bee?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
Interleague Play Is Back, If Anybody Notices Anymore
We've never had a major problem with interleague play. It's possible this is because our Cardinals get to play the Royals six times a year — and boy could we use the help — but mostly, it's because the game has been so twisted and pretzeled over the last decade that, hey, what's one more switch? Peo...
How Sad Is Ben Wallace Today, Really?
It was a nice little hope for a while, some sort of jolt of life into a lagging, pallid Eastern Conference playoffs, but now that the Pistons have advanced past the Bulls and set up a presumably smooth trip past whatever "team" collapses forward enough to win the Cavs-Nets series, we're back to our ...
Looks Like Another Pistons NBA Finals
OK, so maybe the Bulls can't pull this off....
Can The Bulls Pull This Off?
It's really quite wild how much can change over two playoff games. After the Bulls' depressing, limp Game 3 loss at home, everyone was writing about how they should blow up the Bulls, how they should have traded for Pau Gasol, how they were too young, how Ben Wallace had no heart. And now, after two...
