Joumana Kidd Has Much Havoc Left To Wreak
Adrian Wojnarowski's column a couple of days ago on Joumana Kidd and the shitstorm she's about to dump on the New Jersey Nets organization contained this fascinating tidbit:...
This Man Has A Message For You About The Patriots
One More Dying Quail brings us this video of the nightmarish stereotype that all Boston sports fans fear. This guy thinks the Patriots deserve more respect, we think. After this, we suspect he played Golden Tee for six hours, and then got in a fight....
And You Thought Grossman Was The One Looking Forward To New Years
With all the drunk quarterback pictures floating around these days, of Rex Grossman and Ben Roethlisberger and Kyle Orton, we thought it wasn't quite fair that Drew Brees remained so free and beloved by everyone other than his mother....
Hmm ... Whom Do We Dislike More?
Kissing Suzy Kolber tackles a question we've been struggling with ourselves: Whom are we supposed to root against in the AFC Championship Game this weekend?...
Man, We Totally Forgot They Were Razing Yankee Stadium
Buster Olney — whom, though we occasionally make fun of him, does pretty solid work over there — reported this morning that Yankee Stadium will host the All-Star Game in 2008, the final year before the historic-mostly-as-a-70s-relic stadium shuffles off this architectural coil. (Incidentally, our ou...
Chandler: In Which I Am Determined To Make Tom Brady The Next Great Basketball Star
Deadspin associate editor Rick Chandler made a rather surprising confession to us the other day, and we demanded he write about it. So he now has the floor....
Tom Brady, Still Clockin' Hos
Legitimate question: How the hell do NFL players have time to meet girls during the season? Particularly the quarterbacks. The reason we never believed that Tony Romo was dating Jessica Simpson was not because we didn't think he had a chance with her; after all, he is able to walk upright. It was be...
NOT What Jesus Had In Mind
When your dad's a former professional hockey goon, your childhood can pretty much be summed up in three words: Fun, fun, fun. Clint Butler was the bantam A team youth hockey coach for a boys 13- and 14-year-old team in Montreal. Let's get right to the action....
The Eye Of The Crazy Frizzy-Haired Saint
As if Eagles fans hadn't suffered enough after their loss to the Saints on Saturday — we think they're taking it hard, too; we still haven't talked to Daulerio — there's this video, which features a rather inspired Saints fan taking it to Eagles boosters outside the Superdome. Mocking them openly is...
New Orleans Once Step Closer To Healing. Really.
In case you're confused by the smattering of women in this photo, the one that's crinkled, not sparkly and wearing pants is Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco. She's shown here hanging out with the Saints cheerleaders after their thrilling 27-24 win over the Eagles on Saturday, leaving them one game...
Goodnight, Marty: Don't Let The Door Hit You
We're not sure what more one can say about Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer. We do have a suggestion though: Maybe it's time to start wearing that headset like every other coach. That way, perhaps you won't end up challenging calls that obviously aren't going to be overturned, costing you a timeo...
NFL Playoffs: Patriots vs. Chargers Open Thread
It's been the most hyped of the divisional round of playoff games, which means it probably doesn't have a chance to live up to the standards of drama set by the previous three games. That just seems to be the way these things go....
And Michael Strahan Got... JACKED UP!
The offensive linemen who line up against Michael Strahan on Sundays just got a whole lot of new ammunition for trash tralk. And Strahan can't run from it, either, because he's going to have to play football for a loooong time. He can't afford not to....
Eagles vs. Saints, 4th Quarter
- Yes, since you asked, that is Brian Westbrook and a horse....
Eagles vs. Saints, 3rd Quarter
- Hey, highlights of the Punt, Pass, and Kick Finals... I think the same damn kids have been winning this thing for like 12 years. Future gym teachers, all of them....
Eagles vs. Saints, 2nd Quarter
- 1st and 2nd and goal fail. One more chance here for a touchdown....
Eagles vs. Saints, 2nd Quarter

Eagles vs. Saints, 1st Quarter
- Here's the late-breaking news from the FOX pregame show: None of the Saints play trumpet. This will probably have a huge effect on the game....
Playoff Pants Party: Chargers Vs. Patriots
Schottenheimer vs. Belichick. Jeez, people, what more could you possibly ask for?...
Cultural Oddsmaker: Pray for New Orleans
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
