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...

Gizmodo Is Dorking It Up In Vegas
The corporate overlords over here are very proud of our dorky stepbrother (whose tests we're always cheating off) site Gizmodo. The Gizmodo folks are at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas all this week, and if you're the type of person who is into that type of stuff, you're absolutely gold...
Must Acknowledge Advertisers ... Must Acknowledge Advertisers ...
We thank our advertisers for their "support" and hope they don't mind that we're too poor to buy their products. If you want to be a part of this little parade of paddy-cake, go here, we're told....
Some End Of Year Comment Invites Available
We're about to shut it down for 2005 — we're doing a half day tomorrow and will be off until January 3 — so we wanted to encourage anyone without a comment invitation to state your case to [email protected] to join the party in 2006....
Happy Holidays From Deadspin (And Clinton Portis)
We here at Deadspin would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a most pleasant holiday season. We'll be back Tuesday morning, but until then, Clinton Portis and all sides of his fragmented personality would like to say hello. So, hello. Tell your family we said hey....
Still Selling T-Shirts. We'll Make This Quick.
We're just about done with these, promise....
Your Takes On The Sex Boat Wrapup
We love doing this site, but, to be honest, what we might love the most are you, the readers. Your comments are the highlights of our days, and not just because you're funnier than we are. We thought we'd take this opportunity to showcase our personal favorite slices of hilarity from today's earli...
More Shameless T-Shirt Shilling
If you haven't bought your Free Darko T-shirt yet — ours just arrived in the mail today, and it's sure to cause confusion for everyone we run into at the gym — the benevolent overlords here at Gawker Media would like us to once again encourage you to check out the Gawker Shop store, where you can ge...
