You the Man Now, Blog!
Like everyone else who's ever tinkered with these evil internets, my testicles tingled a bit when Brent Musberger, Bob Davie, and Kirk Herbstreit spent a good two minutes discussing the crazy bloggers who were going to start calling for Lloyd Carr's ouster if he lost to USC. It was one of those na...
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. What to say about Bob Knight that you haven't already heard? Here's ...
And in Less Bloody Shirt News....
Christ.This is a gratutitous mood-lightening post to veer off the whole Darrent Williams thing for a little while.The Williams story is important, it's tragic, but Jesus Christ, at this rate I'll be posting YouTube clips of Schindler's List to cheer myself up. Anyway, I have one more little piece of...

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. Take a cue from Domanick Davis of the Houston Texans, who has decided to purge himself of himself by entering the 2007 season with changes to his haircut (brai...
It's The Arizona Cardinals Plane! Perfectly Safe! All Aboard, Everyone!
Wouldn't it be slightly hilarious if Denny Green shows up at the Phoenix airport today, and this is the only plane out? Since Mr. Leitch is still on vacation, it's up to us to make sense of this news release from our new friends at US Airways....
At Least She Was Cheering for The Right Team
One of USC’s spritely cheerleaders must have decided that since she was only scheduled to be seated at the bottom of the pyramid, there would be no harm in showing up for a nationally televised game without the protection of any kind of female undergarmets. I can only hope that she steered clear of ...

So, What Was Javon Walker's Involvement?

Bowl Roundup: Clearly, The Runner's Knee Was Down

Good Morning: Put the Lotion in the Baskett
Hello again. So, sorry for the depressing update yesterday. New Year's Day is an official "holiday" for Deadspin, but I felt like the Darrent Williams thing shoud've been something that was posted about to facilitate discussion to those of you not stuck at home with roaring case of post-New Year's...

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....

NFL Week Seventeen, Update #2
• The Jets have done the not-so-impossible and beaten the Raiders to sew up a playoff spot. It doesn't seem like beating the Raiders is an accomplishment worthy of getting someone a playoff spot, but you know, neither does going 8-8 in the NFC. Chadwick Pennington was 22 of 30 for 157 yards and a TD...
Alabama Just Won't Give Up On The Nick Saban Thing
