Netherlands vs. Russia: First Half
We're already half way through the first knockout stage of Euro 2008, and we'll be treated to another fantastic match. The Dutch side enters looking all but invincible after some explosive play in the group stage, but the Russians surely won't be rolling over. Well they might, but then Putin would ...
NBA Finals Game 5 Second Half Live Blog
Either Pau Gasol is fired up or is auditioning for the role of General Zod in the upcoming feature, Superman IX: Invasion Of the Cassell Clones. But despite a three-point lead for LA, it doesn't look good for them. Hell, even David Spade is pissed. Will the series end tonight? Or will I be tempted t...
NBA Finals Game 5 First Half Live Blog
Whoa, sensei. The NBA Finals Game 5 gets to follow that. Much like when Tiger Woods was on the ropes, so are the LA Lakers, down 3-1 in the series. Kobe Bryant says the series is far from over. Boston would like very much to finish this series right now. The referees were instructed by their superio...
There's No Reason That Random Urinalysis Can't Be Fun
Barry Bonds may be gone, but as penance for profiting over his steroid-soaked home run record chase, I think the Giants should have to dump Lou Seal and adopt a new mascot. Meet Petey P. Cup, who not only charms young and old with his playful urine-related antics, but serves as a sober reminder of b...
Media Approval Ratings: Pam Oliver
We forget, sometimes, just how unstable the life of a broadcast journalist can really be. Witness the following paragraph from Pam Oliver's Wikipedia page....
Meet All The Herschel Walkers Tonight
Tonight, ABC's Nightline has an interview with former running back Herschel Walker about his battle with multiple-personality disorder.

That's A Working Microphone, Derrick Rose
Now one has to wonder what Rose was afraid his teammate was going to say about him. "What do we think of him? I mean, once you get past the premature ejaculating and toenail eating, he's a pretty nice kid who can make things happen on the court. It's a good thing too, we almost forgot his Cabbage Pa...
Deadspin Programming Note
Tune in tonight for Final Four live blogs featuring that seasonal simian, Christmas Ape, at 6 p.m./5 p.m. Central! Right after an all new My Name Is Earl, where Earl crosses off another transgression on his list: appearing in the movie "Vanilla Sky!" But seriously, folks, Ape's doing live blogs toni...
Night Game Live Blog
All these games are overlapping and I can hardly keep up. Marquette and Stanford have already reached halftime which should give the Cardinal players a chance to catch up with their ejected coach. Marquette leads 36-30 with Brook Lopez scoring just two points and making everybody vaguely uncomforta...
Live Blogging the Late Afternoon Games
It's been a bit crazy, what with Duke losing and posts reproducing themselves, but I'm ready to go for the late afternoon games. As you can see, Wisconsin and Kansas State are well underway. In fact, they've just gone into the half with a score of 39-33 in favor of the third-seeded Badgers. Beasley...

All right, we've been told that the Gawker servers are ready to rock today, and we will have no more problems. We have faith! We are not so certain, however, that today's games will be any better than yesterday's. (Duke-Belmont excepted.) The early games aren't inherently promising. We have Gonzaga...

Live Blogs You'll Gleefully Skip: Illinois-Penn State
We know, we know: Nobody cares about a stupid liveblog of a pointless Big Ten tournament first round game. We're fully aware. As we mentioned yesterday, it's just, like, practice or something....
The Volunteers and Tigers Are Delivering At FedEx
I'm back from the Wizards game and I'm actually in a good mood because they won. And hey, the Bobcats minus Gerald Wallace are tough! Since I've been back I've had a chance to catch up on this 1 vs. 2 matchup and frankly, it's even better than the Wizards and Bobcats. The action has been high paced ...
