The 1998 Baseballs Are Not Here to Talk About the Past
Here's a story that may not have any credibility whatsoever, depending upon your knowledge of the porny sounding " larger rubberized core "and "synthetic rubber rings", allegedly found in baseballs during the 1998 season and, specifically, in Mark McGwire's magical 70th homerun ball....

The accompanying photo you find here is of then 110-year-old Red Sox fan Kathryn Gemme doing her best to investigate the World Series trophy after the Sox won in '04 to determine whether it's actually the trophy. Or the bathroom. Or the dishwashing machine. Or President Taft....
K-Fed Will Totally Kick Your Ass, Bitches
When our chimp-like ancestors first descended from the trees and began walking upright about 6 million years ago, little did they know that it would lead to this. You should have warned us, Charles Darwin. Damn you to hell!...

Greetings, Spinheads.

Every Bowl Game Will Most Likely Be a Letdown From Here on Out
Tonight's Orange Bowl game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons starts at 8 p.m., so consider this the post to keep comments lit up .

Searching For Bobby Knight
I can think of no better way to mark Bobby Knight's 880th coaching victory than with the photo above — with coach looking slightly deranged, grabbing players' necks, and no doubt ready to say something untoward into a microphone.

Domanick Nee Davis Refurbishes His Image
Make a mental note that the nicotine patch, Jenny Craig, or coffee enemas, are probably not enough to ensure a shiny new you this new year.

So, What Was Javon Walker's Involvement?

Let Brett Favre Wisk You Into The New Year
Unless something remarkable happens, like Bill Parcells deciding to publicly hang himself in Times Square tonight, this will likely be the last Deadspin post of 2006. What a disappointment. I was hoping it would be a better one....
Alabama Just Won't Give Up On The Nick Saban Thing
Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban could be the recipient of a $40 million offer, including $7 million in a signing bonus, from Alabama.

The Bodily Functions Of Bryant Gumbel
What better way to spend New Years than trying to figure out if it was really Bryant Gumbel that you heard belching during last night's Redskins/Giants game?
