Where My Team Stands: Minnesota Twins
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom. Typically, we pretty much just tell our friends that we'll see them sometime in November. It's a stressful time....

Fast Times In The AL Central
We can't imagine what it must be like to be a fan of an American League Central team right now. (Unless of course you're an Indians or Royals fan, in which case you've certainly moved on to the unparalleled bundles of joy that are the Browns and Chiefs.)...
Kornheiser, You're Being Glib
We mean no offense to Redskins fans, but when your owner is hosting Tom Cruise in his luxury box — when he's staying at your owner's house — we kind of think that maybe you deserve to lose....
One Last Victory Lap For A Deadspin Hall Of Famer
Ask yourself this: Would you sacrifice 1/17th of your yearly salary in return for one full day of irresponsible drunken sex with on a cruise ship, with the finest multiple partners that money can buy? If you answered yes, congratulations: You can hang with Fred Smoot....
NFL Pants Party: NFC North
We do the riverdance, a manly dance, through the NFC North, land of paternity suits, custody issues, nude assistant coaches, Brett Favre and, of course, sex boats....

Blyleven Isn't Out Solving That Thing; He's F—-ing It Up
You know, it's a sad day when a broadcaster can't let loose a couple of "fucks" on the air without getting suspended for it....
Deadspin HOF Nominee: The Vikings Sex Boat
It's rare that a big sex scandal involving players happens in the middle of the season, but, then again, not everyone can be the Minnesota Vikings.

One Probably Should Have Done This A While Ago, We'd Think
If you are rubbing your eyes, not quite believing that this picture is actually what you think it is, do not doubt your lying eyes: This is indeed a shot of a guy fumigating the Minnesota Vikings locker room....
Dwight Smith Has Seen 'Unfaithful'
And he's evidently a big fan of the scene that takes place in the stairwell, because police cited him for something that may have been quite similar on Saturday morning. The Vikings safety was cited for "indecent conduct," and so was the young lady who was with him, for something that was going on i...
NFL Season Preview: Minnesota Vikings
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting ...
Koren Robinson's Expensive Night Out
You might remember, during "Monday Night Football" a couple of nights ago, broadcasters Joe Theismann, Mike Tirico and Tony Kornheiser were praising oft-troubled Vikings wide receiver Koren Robinson for his triumphant return after years of alcohol abuse. Theismann, in particular, talked about Robins...
Torii Hunter Shall Punish His Glove
Here's a weird tidbit we found in a Sunday notes column from over the weekend: Minnesota Twins outfielder Torii Hunter has a biblical sense of equipmental retribution....
Welcome To The Metrodome. Here's Some Hair
Proving once again that the line between minor league and major league promotions is getting blurrier by the minute, Minnesota Twins fans donned synthetic facial hair on Thursday during Joe Mauer Sideburn Night in the team's game with the Toronto Blue Jays. The first 10,000 fans arriving at the Me...
