Stephon Marbury Should Be A Professional Prognosticator
It's particularly amusing in the wake of the great Zach Randolph "possession." How young we were back in July 2007 ... how little we knew!...
Brewers Fans Are Focused, Dedicated
This photo is somewhat old, apparently, but it's the first I've seen of it. Brewers fans, so used to disappointment, will take their excitement where they can get it I suppose. Later, at home, Erin Andrews found two tiny burn marks on the seat of those slacks....
Jay Mariotti Is Moved (Again)
One of our all-time favorite Deadspin posts was pointing out the ridiculous platitudes shelled out by sports columns in the days after September 11. (We were not immune from this ourselves.) One of those columnists was Jay Mariotti, whose signature schtick doesn't lend itself well to tragedy. Fortun...
R.I.P. Myron Cope
Beloved Pittsburgh Steelers broadcaster Myron Cope died today at the age of 79. We asked Mondesi's House to put together a retrospective....
The Super Bowl Commercial They Wouldn't Let You See
Can't decide if this is great or merely interesting, but my dog liked it a lot. Here's a Bud Light commercial that was supposed to have been shown during the Super Bowl, but was banned by the FCC. Found this over at BostonSportz. It's new to me, anyway....
Jon Stewart Still Won't Use His Hands
Long before he was hosting the Oscars or beating up Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart was a Whirling Dervish on the soccer field for William & Mary....
One Rich Commish

[The Love Of Sports] • The Vols won't make the Final Four. [College Hoops Journal] • The legacy of Jon Koncak. [TY Sports] • Things as badass as Bruce ...
Baseball Season Preview: Chicago White Sox
For the third consecutive season, we are proud to introduce the Deadspin Baseball Season Previews. Yes, baseball is awfully close now; it's spring training, after all....
Media Approval Ratings: Cris Carter
On the day we say goodbye to Sean Salisbury on ESPN, we think it's perhaps fitting that our Media Approval Ratings look at his replacement....
GSTF Book Tour Stop: Brooklyn, New York
After more than a month on the road, and seemingly endless posts on this site that no one actually read all the way through, the first leg of the God Save The Fan tour came to an end in Brooklyn last night. It's nice to end a tour just a few blocks from your apartment; it makes crawling home far l...
ESPN's Featured Comment Of The Day
ESPN scoured its message boards this morning to find its cleverest, boldest, most enlightening comment, and chose this one above all others ......
Roger Clemens Is Not An Animal!
Roger Clemens arrived in Kissimmee, Fla., on Tuesday to, well, work out I guess. Why is Clemens welcome at Astros training camp while Barry Bonds is universally shunned? Answer: A). Clemens has two functioning knees, B). Bonds is not a Republican, C). Clemens gives better quotes, or D). All of the a...
Maybe Pittsburgh Didn't Get Bitch-Slapped After All
The NHL Closer is written by Greg Wyshynski, of FanHouse and The Fourth Period. He is also the author of Glow Pucks And 10-Cent Beer....
Bruce Pearl Is Still No. 1 In Our Search Engines
The College Basketball Closer is written by the gang at Storming the Floor....
Pat Riley Feels Like A Mosquito In A Nudist Colony. Seriously
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who loves zombie movies and is really ticked off that Diary of the Dead came out in a limited release. Oh well. Hopefully World War Z will come out some time in the next year. Anyway, when he isn't obsessing over flesh-eating ghouls, he can be found feasting...
