Let Brett Favre Wisk You Into The New Year
Unless something remarkable happens, like Bill Parcells deciding to publicly hang himself in Times Square tonight, this will likely be the last Deadspin post of 2006. What a disappointment. I was hoping it would be a better one....
Slava Medvedenko Is The Anti-Joe Kines
But he is no less entertaining, albeit in his own special Slava way. Medvedenko just signed with the Atlanta Hawks, so you're not likely to ever hear from him again. But the good news is that the Hawks gig puts him in closer physical proximity to Joe Kines, upping the chances of the two of them havi...
Michael Jordan Clears Himself of Excess Baggage
Well, now I get to post while drinking. Fun. For your information, I'm drinking Yuengling because I'm at my parent's house and it's a choice between this and lactose free milk....
Oh Miller Don't Wanna Dance With Somebody
And thankfully, I won't have to watch him feel the heat with somebody. With somebody who (somebody who) loves him. Sigh....

If Anything Is Going To Lure Karl Malone Out Of Retirement...
...it will almost certainly be the Memphis Grizzlies "Camo Night," being held tonight in conjunction with the Grizzlies vs. Bucks (and I bet that's not a coincidence) game tonight at the FedEx Forum. Fishermen and hunters of any animal (including little Mexican girls) are encouraged to attend the ...
Some Casting Director Has Their Work Cut Out For Them
Apparently, they'll make a movie about damn near anyone these days. The latest athlete to get the big screen treatment is spectacularly-bearded former Jazz center Mark Eaton. Eaton will be the subject of a film by Stacy Dymalski that will probably not be entitled, "What's Eatin' Mark Eaton?"...
Kobe Displays His Beef
I know I promised you no more kicker cock, but I don't recall saying anything about nude NBA 2-guards. Mr. Smith mentioned it briefly yesterday, but I thought it deserved its own post. It's not every day you see Kobe Bryant naked, although that might happen more often that it should....
NBA Roundup: The Rage Of Lawrence Frank
• Lawrence Frank: American ass-kicker. Nets head coach Lawrence Frank? That guy is the cause of every single one of the league's image problems. His mercurial temper and tendency towards violence got the better of him again last night after he complained about a no-call on Rasheed Wallace on a las...
Rasheed Wallace Goes Christmas Caroling
Where would we be without Need4Sheed? I don't know anything about those guys except that I'm originally from Detroit, and I think Need4Sheed does a better job covering the Pistons than the local newspapers do. This video is the latest example. It features Will Blalock, Jason Maxiell, Amir Johnson an...
Iverson Asked Again To Carry A Team Devoid Of Talent
The Nuggets were without Carmelo Anthony, Marcus Camby, and J.R. Smith last night ... which leaves the rest of their roster looking sort of like the one Iverson left in Philadelphia. Iverson couldn't carry this one to a win, either....
Oh, Brett, Won't You Just Let Us Into Your Heart?
What could be a more fitting final image of Brett Favre's career as a Green Bay Packer than throwing an interception for a touchdown (to Fred Smoot, of all people) and winning anyway because of three field goals from a guy named "Dave Rayner?" OK, well, maybe lots of things — we were kind of assumin...

It's Brett Favre's Last Game In Green Bay! (Totally!)
A statement we kind of can't believe we're making: Brett Favre might as well go ahead and come back next year. It's no like Aaron Rodgers is all raring to go or anything; the Packers are directionless and boring otherwise, so we might as well watch The Gunslinger Mentality flip shit in the air 16 mo...
Those Saucy Ladies Of The ABC NBA Pregame
Awful Announcing has found the video ABC will be using to intro its NBA games this year — debuting Christmas Day, for the now-tired Shaq vs. Kobe matchup — and it features a group we don't know called "the Pussycat Dolls." (That name sounds like it was focus grouped by Mattel, by the way.)...
NBA Roundup: Isiah, Knicks Will Rule Us All One Day
Notes on Wednesday's games in the National Basketball Association ......
Burn, Carmelo, Burn
So here's a great pickup from Darren Rovell's SportsBiz CNBC blog: In the wake of the fight last week that left the Nuggets without Carmelo Anthony for 15 games (and with Allen Iverson, which still seems odd), Northwest Airlines has booted Anthony off the cover of its January 2007 edition. (The Fr...
Iverson, The Day After
What is left for the City of Brotherly Love, in the wake of the Allen Iverson trade yesterday? Jeff Garcia? Actually ... yeah, Jeff Garcia! Even the Flyers have lost a franchise-record seven straight. Darren Daulton, Philadelphia needs your time machine now more than ever....

Iverson Finally Traded ... To The Nuggs!
Well, we suppose that makes sense: When your superstar is suspended 15 games for throwing a punch at someone named Mardy, the only real recuse you have is to go out and get yourself another superstar....
