Chandler: In Which I Am Determined To Make Tom Brady The Next Great Basketball Star
Deadspin associate editor Rick Chandler made a rather surprising confession to us the other day, and we demanded he write about it. So he now has the floor....
Tom Brady, Still Clockin' Hos
Legitimate question: How the hell do NFL players have time to meet girls during the season? Particularly the quarterbacks. The reason we never believed that Tony Romo was dating Jessica Simpson was not because we didn't think he had a chance with her; after all, he is able to walk upright. It was be...
Dead Schembechlers: Classy or Pussies?
From their website: The Dead Schembechlers will now be know as...The Bastard Sons of Woody!!! The name change comes on the heels of the death of original band namesake Bo Schembechler and to acknowledge the fact that the group members are direct genetic descendents of Woody Hayes himself. "We were a...

The Bodily Functions Of Bryant Gumbel
What better way to spend New Years than trying to figure out if it was really Bryant Gumbel that you heard belching during last night's Redskins/Giants game? At a couple of points during the broadcast, some miscellaneous belches were heard coming from the booth. Pro Football Talk (those guys are tho...
Imagine How Mad She Would Have Been If It Were Hot Outside
We know this isn't necessarily a sports story, but it does take place in St. Louis, and it does involve beer, so we're just gonna run with it....
Eddie Griffin's Criminal Climax
Because we are nothing if not thorough, digging down so deep into a story that we can't imagine how to get out, doggedly pursuing every subplot until the thread is bare, we return you today to the story of Timberwolves forward Eddie Griffin. As you might remember, Mr. Griffin was arrested for crashi...
NOT What Frank Zamboni Had In Mind
You may not believe this, but in some cities it's still illegal to steal a couple of Zambonis and head downtown for burgers. (Or, as we call it, "fun.)" The nut graph from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:...
The Dead Dead Schembechlers
It was a phenomenal little ride while it lasted, but the Dead Schembechlers are no more. The punk band announced last night that their performance at the Hate Beat Michigan rally would be their last. They also elected to give all proceeds from their final show to a charity of the Schembechler family...

Bo Schembechler Gets Meta On Us
We've told you repeatedly about the Dead Schembechlers, the Ohio State fan punk band that features thrash ditties like "Bomb Ann Arbor Now" and "Chad Henne is A Motherfucking Joke." (Their official site is right here, though someone should probably mention that no one does splash pages anymore.)...
Another "Outstanding" Regular Season Manning Triumph
There is a temptation to point out that if Peyton Manning had thrown four interceptions at home on national television against his biggest rival, he would have been vilified by anyone with a keyboard yet again for being a choker; because it was Tom Brady who did it, it was just an "off night" for ...
Cut. That. Meat.
Well, the time has finally come. It's almost time for the Colts and Patriots to kick off, and thus, for Peyton Manning to engage in a no-win situation. If he loses, he's still firmly entrenched in the role of Tom Brady's lawnboy. If he wins, it's a meaningless regular season game that won't even be ...
Time For Manning-Brady ... Uh ... What Number Are We On Now?
You might have heard: The Colts play the Patriots this weekend, which means it's time for more Brady vs. Manning stories. We think everyone's issues with Peyton Manning are nicely summed up by Kissing Suzy Kolber:...

"You Down With Brandon Inge?"
We've logged some pretty outstanding fan song remixes, including the rather epic "Sweet Shaun Alexander," which even made deceased members of Lynyrd Skynyrd roll over in their graves, and they're still drunk....
Fortunately, No Sports Fans Actually Gamble On The Games
Good news, everybody! You may soon be free to fritter away your child's college education on something even more completely useless than online gambling. You know ... like college!...
A Lesson In Self Preservation On The Mean Streets
Ever wonder what you would do if you had only an umbrella, and was attacked by someone wielding a long pole? What about using your walking stick to defend yourslef against a mob?
