Are The Grimsley Affidavit Names Ever Coming Out?
Remember the Grimsley affidavit? (Yes: That one.) Well, the Associated Press has been suing that the public has a right to know the names that are in the affidavit, and the government says it's an ongoing investigation. (A very ongoing one.)...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as your house elf cooks a steak and kidney pie ... • MLB: Boston at Cleveland. Cleveland Rocks, so I'm told. [ESPN2] • Atlanta at San Francisco. Yeah, Bobby Cox will be thrilled to give up No. 756. [ESPN2] • Cycling: Tour de France, Stage 15, Foix to Loudenville-Le Louron, France. So w...
Hope Can Be Found In The Heart Of Miguel Batista
Kids, if you're having trouble in your current relationship, if you and your significant other are finding it difficult to communicate with each other, if you're feeling the spark slowly drain away ... well, only two people can save you. David Copperfield, and Miguel Batista....
Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself, My Name Is MAJ
Ahoy hoy! I am the Unsilent Majority and I'll be running shit around here as part of a three-way rotation of weekend editors. I have to say that I'm absolutely thrilled to be here. After all, my blogging career began deep within the bowels of the Deadspin comment section way back when you had to giv...
Karl Malone Will Kill All Grizzlies
We really wish this photo were larger, but if you can't quite tell, it's former Utah Jazz power forward Karl Malone — the second greatest white player in the history of the NBA! — with an enormous bear he has just shot....
You Cannot Handle The Truth Of Bill James
We are a longtime admirer of famed baseball thinker Bill James. (We might make fun of Rob Neyer a bit around here, but we — like a lot of you, we suspect — have Neyer to thank for our initial awareness of James' work.) He opened our eyes to so many new concepts in the game we love, and, all told, we...
Elijah Dukes' Divorce Proceedings, Shockingly, Are Getting Nasty
As you probably might expect, the wife of "troubled" Devil Rays outfielder Elijah Dukes is filing for divorce. (This tends to happen when you send your wife's cell phones photos of guns.) She has come up with some not-really-all-that-surprising accusations....

Jared Allen Knows Why He's Famous
Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen tends to have a little bit of trouble with the whole "drive, then drink, rather than the other way around" thing. He had three DUI arrests in the span of four years, and he'll miss the first four games this season thanks to an NFL suspension....
We Were All So Lame In The Early 90s
We don't mean to destroy the mystery surrounding the ESPYs — which taped last night and will be shown Sunday — but, well, co-host LeBron James did a song called "My LeBrongative." We're sure the rest of the evening's hilarity followed that pattern....
The Royals Rule The All Star Game
This is Gil Meche, the Kansas City Royals' "All-Star" for last night's game. Like Albert Pujols, he didn't get in the game. For Royals fans, this is the furthest thing from unusual. Their All-Star history is so checkered that the last Royals to get a hit in an All-Star game was ... Bo Jackson....
Richard Gasquet Is Your Not-Gay Semifinalist
Roger Federer, staving off a surprising surge from longtime rival Rafael Nadal, won his fifth consecutive Wimbledon yesterday. (His first Wimbledon win was over that idiot on that dumb NBC reality show, by the way.) But the real winner wasn't Federer, but semifinalist Richard Gasquet, who finally ba...

Bad Day For Neshek
It was a bad day all around for Pat, who suffered his first loss last night. Fortunately, his beautiful designed Web site — not that we should talk — will keep updating, and even putting up these in-no-way-uncomfortable-to-watch videos. Next year, Pat. Next year....
