Alex Rodriguez Trying To Steal Jeter's Boyfriends
So everyone's all in love with A-Rod again, considering he's the only thing keeping the frayed Yankees even competitive right now — the Yankees are under .500! Head for the hills! — and he's smacking the ball around every stadium like he just knows it's April. But he's not just trying to help himsel...

Notes from a day in baseball:...
Someone Has The Mavs' Number
We find it fascinating when, for one reason or another, a less talented team/player finds a way to dominate a more talented opponent. Our favorite example is Barry Bonds and Mike Bielecki. No matter how outstanding Bonds has been — for whatever reason — he never could do anything against Mike Bielec...

This Is A Nice Little Sunday Night, Yes?
Phil Jackson was right. It was hard out there for a pimp, and it was also pretty hard out there for any Los Angeles Laker not named Kobe Bryant to touch the goddamn basketball down the stretch of that game. I think Sasha Vujacic's hands are going to be permanently frozen in the "ready to catch" posi...

They Have A Love For Nick Saban That I Can't Comprehend
Fifty-one thousand is a lot of people to show up to a college football scrimmage, and before yesterday, that was the all-time Alabama record. But you add the magnetic appeal of Nick Saban to the mix ... and all the sudden, 51,000 seems paltry. Nasty Nick drew over 92,000 people to his first spring g...

Buy Yourself A Piece Of Michael Strahan... Cheap
So rarely do the worlds millionaire athletes and yard sales collide. But, you know, it's not every day that athletes get cleaned out in a divorce quite like Michael Strahan did. And this weekend, at her (formerly his) mansion, Jean Strahan sold a bunch of his shit....
Roger Federer Has Some Work To Do Before The French Open
Good news for Thabo Sefolosha. The Chicago Bulls guard has probably sewn up the title of most successful Swiss athlete in the world this weekend, because Rafael Nadal continues to own Roger Federer on clay. A stright-sets whoopin' was handed to Federer in the finals of the Monte Carlo Masters Series...
Open Thread: Suns Vs. Lakers
Somehow, this manages to be an intriguing series, despite there being really only one possible outcome. It's overwhelmingly likely that the Suns will beat the Lakers, since all those animosity and bad feelings are probably going to go to waste....
Maybe The Guy Just Wanted A Better Look At Edgar Renteria
A fellow named Frank Martinez was arrested and charged with interference with a professional sporting event (which is an actual crime because of Calvin Klein, evidently) and second-degree reckless endangerment after shining a high-powered flashlight into the eyes of Atlanta Braves Tim Hudson and Edg...
I'll Post Anything That Gets Joe Rogan This Excited
UFC fights don't traditionally get a ton of attention here on Deadspin, and that's probably not going to change anytime soon. Sorry. But I do think you'll enjoy this video of one huge man kicking another huge man really hard in the ear....
Key Playoff Figures: Doris Burke & Terrence Howard
I tried to watch all four games yesterday. I got through Raptors/Nets, Bulls/Heat, and Pistons/Magic, but I accidentally caught the final score of the Jazz/Rockets game, and decided that I wasn't going to sacrifice another hour of sleep for another 84-75 game, no matter how many emotional interviews...

Because we feel that no one understands the NBA more like the way we wish we understood the NBA than the gang at Free Darko, we've asked them to write up previews of every playoff series throughout the postseason. It will help us understand what's at stake in each series, what matters, what it means...
