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 ...

Bowl Roundup: Clearly, The Runner's Knee Was Down
Just as one should never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, one should also never propose after scoring the winning two-point conversion in the Fiesta Bowl.

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

NFL Week Seventeen, Update #1
• In the afternoon's one important game, the Jets lead the Raiders 7-3 late in the second quarter. Give the Raiders credit, they're not just going to lay there and take it. Chad Pennington has managed to complete 12 of 16 passes and only has 67 passing yards to show for it. This week's Raiders featu...
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? At a couple of points during the broadcast, some miscellaneous belches were heard coming from the booth. Pro Football Talk (those guys are tho...
The College Hoops Compendium: It's Bad News When Joakim Noah Gives You The Clap
• (3) Florida 75, UAB 70. According to the AP article, Florida won because Joakim Noah decided to clap and yell, "Let's Go!" on his way out of a huddle. That's a breathtaking maneuver, and hopefully, other coaches from around the country can make their way to Gainesville this offseason to study it...

As The Mess Begins To Unfold...
If the Giants lose tonight, tomorrow's NFL day gets a lot more interesting and confusing. If they win tonight, a playoff spot is theirs, most likely. If they lose, though, there are four other teams, all of them terrible, that could claim the spot tomorrow. I don't care much about either of these te...
