Hall Of Fame Nominees, The Day After
After witnessing, in slack-jawed awe, the truly beautiful thing that has been Deadspin Hall of Fame nomination post, we stand before you, at full attention, with the sharpest possible salute we can muster. That was so much fun to be a part of that the actual Hall of Fame almost seems redundant....

Kornheiser's Second Evening Of Fun
Lovable Grumpy Gus Tony Kornheiser broadcasted his second "Monday Night Football" game last night, and it has created decidedly less conversation — "buzz," if you will — than his debut did a week ago. We only watched a few minutes of the game, so we don't feel qualified enough to make much judgment....
You Better Get ESPN Mobile Before A Tornado Hits
Got a tip from Jeff in Columbia about an oddly-timed plug for ESPN Mobile during last night's Little League World Series broadcast. Erin Andrews was in the stands during the game between Columbia and Lake Charles, standing among a bunch of Columbia fans, who all seemed to be on their cell phones. ...
Tony Kornheiser Should Probably Take A Deep Breath
Something that has surprised us — but probably shouldn't have — about the aftermath of Tony Kornheiser's debut on "Monday Night Football" has been his reaction to (relatively small) criticism of his performance. For a guy who, being in the media, should be used to all this, he's lashing out a lot. H...
Four Tiny Tidbits On: The Mountain West
College football season is upon us, and to celebrate, we're going to get back into tiny tidbit mode and present four things you didn't know about each major conference.

Kornheiser's Big Debut On MNF; Hey, Watch Those Hands, Tirico
This tastefully choreographed publicity shot of what can probably best be described as "Mike Tirico Microphone Bukkake" signifies one thing: The new ESPN "Monday Night Football" crew is indeed kicking off tonight. Ignoring the wisdom of CBS banning sideline reporters entirely, the crew consists of...

Beware The Power Of Carl Monday
So you know how yesterday was supposed to be Carl Monday Day for the Dunedin Blue Jays? Well, it turned out the game was postponed, but not because of the rain storms that hit the area. Nope, it's something much more ominous....

Dear Lord Baby Jesus, That Was Funny
I was fortunate enough to see Talladega Nights yesterday, and I'm damn sure not going to wait until the DVD comes out to see it again. It did not only tickle my funnybone, it made sweet love to it. I'm just itching to quote the movie here, but I think I should probably wait until the DVD comes out t...
Gentlemen, Start Your Wanking
Right now Carl Monday is snapping down the protective visor on his riot helmet, scrambling into the back of the WKYC Action News van and yelling "Let's roll!" Yes, the big Masturbate-A-Thon is tomorrow,* which, if you live in Europe, still leaves you plenty of time to get to Drop Studios in London...
Blogdome: An Open Letter To George Solomon
• We thought the most recent column from ESPN ombudsman George Solomon was among the more critical and reasonable ones he's written. Here's a dissenting (and somewhat convincing) view. [Fan's Attic] • How this year's baseball season is like the 2001-02 NBA season, and how the Mets are like the Nets....
