Who's Sorry Now? Herm Edwards Edition
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards, we salute you. Not only did you basically tell your fans to go #### themselves after they complained about the Chiefs' losing record, but then you were forced to sloppily apologize; essentially humbling yourself before fat guys who wear bags over their hea...
Woman Knocks Out Husband With Potato; Dodgers Sign Her For $25 Million Over Two Years
If you're Irish like me, this is pretty much an everyday occurrence.

• Caliendo Can't Impersonate Him. Learn well, kids. When you have a choice between shooting at the goal and not shooting at the goal ... shoot at the goal. This was where I failed miserably in youth sports. But John Madden knew better, and decided against clearing the puck on a power play. His lack-...

Pitching Coach Fails In Escape From Tropicana Field
This man is Jim Hickey, the pitching coach for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. As you'd expect, life as the pitching coach of the Devil Rays — sorry: Tampa Bay Rays — is not easy. It's enough to drive a man to drink....
That Series Of Tubes Can Be Confusing
When you think of all the technological wizardry NFL coaches have at their dispersal, we wonder sometimes if the next world-changing innovation will spawn from the mind of a Dorito-peppered slouch coach bunkered in his office at 4 a.m., watching game film and suddenly discovering cold fusion. They c...
I know very little about college football. BCS, Big 12, Dan Shanoff is Tim Tebow. Huh? What? Gabe must be so confused. So help a blogger out today, and send your funny, insightful and expletive-laced comments to the AIM screen name, NCAA Deadspin. My "control," "C" and "V" keys thank you in advance....

FIU Must Protect This House!
You might remember, during Miami announcer Lamar Thomas' insane rant during the Miami-Florida International fight last year, when he said something to the effect of, "you don't come into our house pulling that," or some similar nonsense. Well guess what, Lamar? Ned and his band of FIU faithful are a...
Mr. Peabody Instructs Sherman To Set The Wayback Machine To 1897
Just to put the Texas Rangers' 30-3 win over the Batimore Orioles on Wednesday into proper perspective, we take you now to 1897, the last time a Major League team cracked the 30-run barrier. It was a glorious, two-fisted era in baseball, when an umpire could be arrested twice in the same season for ...
