Today's NFL Scoreboard......
About Last Night...
• NFL: Cowboys 38, Falcons 28. It seems strange that Morten Andersen is the NFL's all-time best scorer. It's like Dan Dickau holding the same record in the NBA. • College Basketball: Texas Tech 71, Arkansas 56. Bob Knight's now just one win away from Dean Smith's record. Bob Knight still doesn't car...
Carmelo Anthony Sticks and Moves... Really, Really Far Away
Well, it was about time. Over 20 games into the NBA season, there hadn't been a single bench-clearing melee. People were about to start thinking that the NBA had gone soft. Think again, fools....
Jim Mora Jr. Might Still Be The Coach, And Michael Vick Might Still Be The Quarterback
The NFL Network is the broadcast home of tonight's Cowboys vs. Falcons game, which means, of course, that many of you can't see it. Which makes this open thread even more important ... it might just be the best live coverage of the game that you can get....
To Watch Tonight...
• 2006 National Step Competition, Men's and Women's Championship. I feel a woo comin' on, cuz. 8:00, ESPN2. • College Basketball: Iowa @ Drake. Iowa state basketball supremacy is on the line, but not really. 8:00, ESPNU. • NFL: Dallas Cowboys @ Atlanta Falcons. Two of the 15 or so teams that are sti...
It Might Save Oregon Some Money To Just Give Everyone In The Crowd LSD
In their ongoing quest to burn the retinas of anyone who watches them, the Oregon Ducks have unveiled the newest part of their continually changing look: helmets that change color depending on the angle from which they are seen. I'm glad no one's told them about Hypercolor t-shirts....

I Wish You Wouldn't Kill Anthony Morelli
Penn State quarterback Anthony Morelli has received death threats via e-mail, for infractions way less severe than going to the Barbaro message board and wishing out loud that the horse would die. No, some jack-ass Penn State fans want him dead because he's only thrown for 2,227 yards and 10 touchdo...
Woody Paige Fingers Terry Glenn
If you were watching Around the Horn yesterday (just kidding, I know you weren't), you might have seen Woody Paige reveal the locker-room snitch that Terrell Owens told Michael Irvin all about. Owens said in the ESPN interview that someone inside the Dallas organization made it a point to tell the...
Today In The Premiership...
• Arsenal 2-2 Portsmouth. Arsenal was able to claw out a point, despite facing a 2-0 deficit in the second half. Emmanuel Adebayor and Gilberto Silva scored just two minutes apart for the Gunners after Matt Taylor gave Portsmouth a 2-0 lead just after the break. Despite being just one point apart ...
Congratulations, Suzy Kolber Kissers
The voting has concluded at the 2006 Weblog Awards, and your winner is will be... Kissing Suzy Kolber, a site that's been mentioned here on Deadspin once or twice. The results haven't been made final or official, and they won't be until Monday. I guess they want some extra time to check for ballot...

NBA Roundup: Canadians Are Mean To Vince Carter
Notes on Thursday's games in the National Basketball Association ......
About Last Night...
• NHL: Penguins 7, Islanders 4. Sidney Crosby and Mark Recchi both had a goal and three assists, Ryan Malone had a had trick, and Crosby's the only name mentioned in the headline. Someone should kick his ass. • College Basketball: Oregon 100, Eastern Washington 74. Every Oregon starter finished in d...
Tank Johnson's Bodyguard Killed
Willie B. Posey was pronounced dead after being shot in the back during a fight outside a Chicago nightclub last night. Police wouldn't immediately confirm if it was the same Willie B. Posey who was arrested at Tank Johnson's house during a raid on Thursday, but Tank Johnson was seen leaving the hos...
