Behind The Scenes Of The Eastern Motors Magic
You might remember those famous Eastern Motors advertisements in Washington D.C., in which various area athletes remind residents that "their job is their credit," through the majesty of song. Well, DC Sports Bog, which is the future, was on set for the taping of the newest commercial, and it's proo...
A Requiem For Bad Moon's Money
For months now, we've been trying to figure out why, during our exhibition football game against Andre Rison and Kordell Stewart, Rison felt obliged to hug us. We felt we had competed hard, but not quite worthy of a hug. We thought maybe Andre was just lonely. Maybe he missed Left Eye?...
Chris Henry Is Just Making Up Offenses Now
OK. Are you sitting down? We feel like you should be sitting down. It's probably for the best if you're sitting down. Take a deep breath. Have a brandy. You ready? Cool. Here goes....
It's Been One Year Since Big Ben's Curbing
You know, time really flies when you've banged your head against pavement at 50 miles per hour. It's like you can't get perspective on matters, or something.

Tank Johnson Would Like To Be The Face Of The NFL

Eric Mangini Enjoys Vesuvio's
We like Jets coach Eric Mangini, even if he's way too young to be that football-coach tubby. But we — as obsessed "Sopranos" fans since the very first episode — hope he understands the honor bestowed upon him. He cameoed last night on what was one of the most intense, breathtaking episodes of the mo...
Jack Trudeau Likes Alcohol ... Policemen, Not So Much
It's that time of year. The kids are graduating from high school, and former Colts quarterbacks are getting them shitfaced.

Evander Holyfield Has Much Advice For Sage Rosenfels
"OK, now everybody listen up. The key to being a successful Houston Texan is to ... wait ... is HGH legal in football? No? Oh, well, don't worry: Take it anyway, you'll sit out four games, no one will care, it's the NFL. Anyway, what was I saying? Dancing. Yes. Dancing is ... you gotta ..."...

As our man Ron Mexico continues to sort out his various legal difficulties, we smile as WBRS Sports Blog digs up an old Michael Vick iTunes playlist, from back in those days in which Michael Vick was considered the most marketable name in the NFL....
Andrew Walter Will Hear Your Confession Now
We're a bit late on this, but alas:...
AJ Hawk Has Brady Quinn's Back
Last week, we published some rather unusual photos of new Browns quarterback Brady Quinn and the wedding of his sister and Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk. Well, Hawk spoke this weekend about the photos and he isn't too happy....

Clinton Portis Has Ron Mexico's Back
Ron Mexico might be going through a particularly difficult time right now, but it's worth noting that he has one significant booster: Deadspin Hall of Famer Clinton Portis. He'd just like you and your ilk to leave Mr. Vick and his puppies alone....
