Crazy Sunday
There are five more championship games on tap today on Selection Sunday. We've got the SEC, the ACC, the Big 12, and the Big Ten. Oh, and of course, the Southland championship game is today, which forces the selection committee, in their all-day meetings, to write "whatever suck-ass team wins the ...
Eye Of The Wildcat
I have asked for video of the Allan Ray eye injury last night, and you guys have responded like champions. Thanks to all of you who sent in links, but this is the best one I've gotten. All I can say about the video is AHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH!...
Jim Boeheim Hates Your Guts
In the type of game that gets us so freaking excited for the tournament next week we almost wet ourselves, Syracuse pretty much just clinched a NCAA tournament big by beating No. 1 Connecticut 86-84. The key, not surprisingly, was guard Gerry McNamara, who had 13 assists and hit a huge 3-pointer t...
Uh, Today Obviously Kind Of Sucks
Obviously, our massive tech issues from yesterday have been anything but resolved; in fact, they're decidedly worse today. We're told this is happening to all the Gawker Media sites, so we're not alone in theis wilderness....
Man, America Gets All The Breaks
We're half an hour away from USA baseball's second game in the World Baseball Classic, facing Jason Bay and some other Canadians. (We're really enjoying the Cuba-Panama game that's on right, now, by the way.) We're fully aware that seeing Alex Rodriguez in a United States uniform makes most of you...
Excuse Our Virtual Dust
We're sorry about all the problems everyone is having getting into the site today, by the way. We've noticed, and we apologize. We're told it has something to do with "servers" and "FTPs" and all kinds of other terms we do not understand....
Online March Madness Sure To Be Maddening
We were hesitant to even mention this to you — for purely selfish reasons — but you've surely heard about it anyway: The NCAA Tournament will be available On Demand on your computer for free this Thursday, all games, streaming onto your desktop. That's great, right? We mean, that's the American dr...
Roger Clemens Retires! Really! (OK, Not Really)
So, here we go: Roger Clemens is retiring again. Probably. Yeah, totally. But who knows?...
Two More Teams Do The No-Pants Dance
In the Southern Conference (SoCon, as the kids call it) tournament final, Davidson beat the hell out of UT-Chattanooga, winning 80-55. It's nice for Davidson, who went undefeated in the regular season last year, but didn't win the tournament, and thus, did not dance. Brendan Winters had 33 for the...
Eagles, Bruins, Racers Do The Dance Of Joy
Congratulations go out to Winthrop, Belmont, and Murray State for becoming the second, third, and fourth teams to get themselves into the NCAA Tournament. We won't know until next week if any of them are getting #1 seeds, though....
We Are Invading Boston. Tonight. Beware.
For those in the Boston/Cambridge area who find themselves without proper nighttime entertainment this evening, we would like to cordially invite you to come hang out. We are reading from our novel Catch tonight at the Dire Reading Series in Cambridge. Yes, we know it's an art gallery. But they stil...
Roger Even Throws At Unborn Sons
As an update on the Roger Clemens item from earlier, an eagle-eyed reader points out that this is hardly the first time Roger has not hesitated to give the high hard one (so to speak) to a family member....
Roger Clemens Grounds His Son
We kind of like that final scene in The Natural, where Roy Hobbs is playing catch with his son in a wheat field. But when the subject is Roger Clemens playing baseball with his son, a couple of other films come to mind. • The Great Santini. Dad: Robert Duvall. Son: Michael O'Keefe. Quote: "You go...
So, Did We Miss Anything?
After eight days floating around a tiny boat in the Caribbean sun, we are proud to say that we are back and, as they say, ready to rock. Our trip was most pleasant, thank you, and we even spent half an hour at the Nevis Sports Museum (apparently they play much cricket there)....
The Last Word in Lonesome is Me
Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning here in cavernous Deadspin Headquarters and found that everyone had vanished. Not a soul about. Even my faithful dog "Shithead" has deserted me....
Good Morning, Class...
It's MJD, back again as your substitute teacher. And I promise, no more pictures of speedskating "moose knuckles," (unless Chad Hedrick and Shani Davis begin insulting the size of each others respective "moose knuckles"), and no Arena Football (unless Bon Jovi takes over as starting QB of the Soul...
Announcements: Tuesdays With A.J.
'Mornin. A.J. Daulerio back again for more Deadspin access-less, favor-less, indiscretion. We're 3/4 through the Will Leitch Caribbean Floating Adventure and he'll be happy to know that he's missed nothing while he was gone. The NBA All-Star Game was the uninspired half-court alley oop-fest it was s...
Announcements: Greetings, Spinheads
As you may know, your beloved, floppy-haired Midwesterner Will Leitch is gone today, gallavanting across the not-so-frozen tundra to "another goddamn wedding." And I, A.J. Daulerio, have the unenviable task of writing America's most popular sports blog on Will's first full day away from his baby. He...
Bring Us Your Finest Beers And Cheeses
For the first time since we started this site four-and-a-half months ago ... we are taking a day off. Tomorrow, to be specific, because we'll be at a wedding in beautiful Green Bay, Wisc. (We're gonna see if we can catch Mike McCarthy and Brett Favre making out again.) It's going to be cold; we m...
Excuse Our Dust
We're having some email server issues over here, so if you've been sending your tips to [email protected] and you haven't heard back from us, it's very possible that it didn't get here. We're sorry; we're working on it....
