New Jersey Nets Dancers Are INTENSE
If you think dancing for an NBA team is just about bleaching your hair blonde, suiting up in tight-fitting Spandex, and shaking what the good Lord — or a good surgeon — gave you, then 10 years ago you were actually correct. But times have changed, and in an era where Jason Kidd is no longer legally ...
Nation Of Islam Sportsblog Is No Longer Highly Respected
I've kept mum on all of the Deadspin Hall of Fame races thus far (remember, voting ends tomorrow afternoon), and this late into the game there are still some races up for grabs. A.J. Daulerio's Super Bowl weekend is still well below the pace for enshrinement, but if he thought events from this past ...
Jeff Burton, Brought To You By The Color Orange
In a world where race cars are stamped with as many corporate sponsors that will fit on the sheet metal, it's really weird to see a car with no logo on the hood or sides. Seriously, it looks like Jeff Burton (#31) is driving an oversized Hot Wheels car in this Getty photo. There's a (logical?) reas...
The Immaculate Concepcion
It doesn't appear that Dave Concepcion will make the Hall of Fame. Since his name appeared on the ballot in 1994, his support has ballooned from 6.8% to 13.6%. And he only has a couple of years left. When one looks at his numbers, they don't exactly resemble a Hall of Famer: career .267 batting aver...

Your College Football Preseason Wish List
Anyone who doubts the power of Deadspin readers needs to be reminded that you guys don't mess around at all. Upon a call to arms for the Hugh Johnson Project revival, all day the IM windows have been popping up like acne on a Pizza Hut delivery boy's face. This preseason wish list for Hugh II: And T...
Tom Brady has eight more bastard children to go if he wants to catch up to Travis Henry. The Denver Broncos running back "fathered" nine children scattered about the southern United States, using nine different mommies. Somehow that $25 million contract wasn't enough to write off his unpaid child su...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch while you search for the world's most awesome sci-fi novel ... 8 p.m. — Nextel Cup: Sharpie 500, Bristol, Tennessee. Remember, men, it's not the size of the track, but how you use it.

Sclemeel! Schmeichel! Hasenfeffer Incorporated!
Taking a gander at some of Saturday's Premier League results... • Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City — Well, so much for starting off the year with four straight wins. Arsenal broke the scoreless tie with an 80th-minute goal, care of Cesc Fabregas. That's a tough loss for Man City. Their young keeper, Kasp...

Goodell Definitely Suspends Vick Indefinitely
Back in Catholic high school, when our dress code was a shirt and tie, one day a student came to class in proper dress code. When the teacher stepped out for a second, he tore off his collared shirt and khaki pants to reveal his underlying outfit: a waterskiing wetsuit. He didn't get in trouble for ...
You Can't Kill Baseball Fans During West Coast Road Trips
We all knew baseball can keep kids out of trouble, give total strangers something to talk about, and sometimes give hope and solace to a grieving nation (see: 2001). But we didn't think baseball was capable of saving someone's life....
Honestly, What's NCAA Football Without Hugh Johnson?
High atop the Family Feud board of most popular questions Deadspinions posed to the Democratic Assembly of Deadspin Administrating Saturdays/Sundays (D.A.D.A.S.S.) was, "Who did Sussman bang to get the job?" "Will you guys bring Hugh Johnson back?" Well, I hope the logo hovering over this paragraph...
