We Apologize In Advance ... But MORE CHEERLEADERS!
We know we implied yesterday that we were just about done with this whole Carolina cheerleader thing, but, you see, we just ... can't ... tear ourselves ... away. We suspect you understand....
Today in Oddjack
What you're missing over at Oddjack, the site for both the discerning speculator and the degenerate gambler ... • Your only chance to care about Boise State has come around again for the year.

Mark Cuban Could Kick Any Writer's Ass
Well, Deadspin readers have spoken, and after about 20 hours of voting, it wasn't particularly close: You say Mark Cuban would kick Bill Simmons' ass....
Stop Pointing Cameras At Mike Tyson. Please.
We get as tired of Mike Tyson In Trouble news as anybody else does, not only because the stories are seemingly endless, but because we can't really hate Tyson anymore; he only has our pity....
Lenny Dykstra, Cosmopolitan
We know we make fun of ESPN a lot here, and much of it is justified, of course, but we are nothing if not fair. The big investigative steroid story gracing the cover of ESPN: The Magazine this week is, for lack of a better word, outstanding. Legitimately all-encompassing, it's sober, smart and ful...

Tyson Most Likely Celeb Who Can't Read
Ever wonder which celebrity is actually illiterate? Sure, we all have. But BetUS.com actually lays the odds and makes Mike Tyson (of course) the favorite at 2/1. It's all documented over at Oddjack, our sister site with the slight gambling problem (think Edward Norton in Rounders). Among others o...
Tell Us Your Best Athlete Run-Ins, And Win A Book!
Hey, look, it's the first-ever Deadspin contest.

We've read the book and think it's really good, actually, eve...
Happy Trails, Holmes
In very sad news, Kansas City Chiefs running back Priest Holmes is out for the season and, according to several sources, could end up retiring. (A Chiefs spokesperson denies the retirement rumors.)...
We Love The Idea Of Her Working With Milton Bradley
The Dodgers are still trying to fill their general manager position, and though they're still holding out hope for John Hart or Theo Epstein (hey, Steve Phillips is available!), so far the only person they've interviewed is assistant GM Kim Ng. Ng would be the first female general manager in baseb...
Why Your City Sucks
Looks like the Maloof brothers got a hold of the Jumbotron controls while drunk again. In what the team says will be a regular feature, when the Pistons were introduced last night, the Kings ran a feature about the city of Detroit on the scoreboard. You can probably guess what it was: horrible vis...
Manning's Cute Little Cheerleader Problem
As you might have noticed, sometimes we like to make fun of Peyton Manning's (heavily) rumored sexual orientation from time to time. But our degenerate gambler brother at Oddjack has a strange little scoop that implies Peyton likes to hang out with cheerleaders of his own. From former Indianapolis...
Internal Shakeups At ESPN's Original Entertainment
We hear serious rumblings of some big changes in ESPN's Original Entertainment. We hear that current executive producer Mike Antinoro is leaving the network for destinations yet unannounced (off to play with Bugs Bunny and Dan Snyder with his old buddy Mark Shapiro?), and that Executive Vice Presi...
Don't Forget About The Sex Cruise!

To this end, Deadspin salutes these modem-addled souls and proudly presents Blogdom's Best, given to the most outstanding blog for each NFL ...
Meet The New Packers Running Back
The Packers might be down to to their fifth-string running back, but that's hardly a bad thing. In fact, new fantasy obsessive pickup Samkon Gado is one of our new favorite players, because we've come across MySpace profile, and, all told, we think the guy sounds kind of cool....
Hey, Other People Mock ESPN Too
We occassionally check out the new version of Cracked, the relaunch of the old humor weekly, and they've got a mostly humorous mockup of ESPN.com's homepage....
Today in Oddjack
A good weekend of football picks, and check back later with Oddjack to see whom your money should be on for tonight's Colts-Patriots wingding. • Death to Terrell Owens!
