You Fought The Law, And The Saints Won
If you're wondering whether or not those in the New Orleans area are as fired up for this Sunday's NFC Championship Game as the typically terrifying Bears fans are, here's a little proof for you: In a current court case involving Fay Thibodeaux Danos against Avondale Industries, they're actually pos...
Deadspin's Heading To Miami And Looking For Direction
As we've mentioned before, AJ Daulerio — whom we hear is the balls — will, for the second consecutive year, be covering the Super Bowl for us, and we couldn't be more excited. (We're not going ourselves; we don't handle sunlight well.) The guy's got an expense account, a laptop and a penchant for ge...
The Tony Romo Kama Sutra
In a disturbing and undeniably amusing listing of the top 50 new sexual positions, the Phat Phree comes up with a novel one: The Tony Romo....
The Left One's Lewis. The Right One's Marvin
We'd like to thank JD Armey over at The Fanhouse for this photo of a Bengals fan who's awfully excited that her team is full of felons and just can't close the deal to get in the playoffs. Interestingly enough, Chris Henry and this woman are now engaged. **...
Oh Schotty, How Can We Stay Mad At You?
Well you won't have Marty Schottenheimer to kick around any more, you ungrateful ... oh wait, sorry. Yes you will. The Chargers announced on Wednesday that their embattled head coach will be sticking around in 2007, as the organization adopts a "Let's just wait and see what happens" attitude that pl...
If You Can't Stash Your Pot In A Water Bottle And Get On A Plane, The Terrorists Have Already Won
Just one day after his brother tried to have an old lawsuit against him dismissed, it appears our friend Ron Mexico is in considerable trouble again. Michael Vick appears to have been stashing his weed in a water bottle and trying to sneak it past the whiz-kids at airport security....
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....
More Reasons To Avoid Super Bowl Commercials
The New York Daily News reported yesterday that portly pop diva Britney Spears — known as third from the left on the music evolutionary chart, with Hillary Duff on the far left and Courtney Love on the far right — was turned down by the NFL Network when she approached them about appearing in a Super...
Meet Your New Oakland Raiders Head Coach
The San Diego Union Tribune reports that NFL Hall of Fame receiver James Lofton is in the final stages of negotiations to become the Raiders next head coach, which would complete another shameless raid of the San Diego area by the Bay Area (Jim Harbaugh left the University of San Diego to take the S...
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....
Poetry In Motion, Inspired By Your Chicago Bears
What does it mean when a dirt bike, a remote, rural location and a fanatical Chicago Bears fan come together to make a video? Um, evidence in a murder trial? Perhaps. But in this particular case it's for the poetry stylings of Matthew Ballard, who, if not technically insane, at least should be limit...
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?...
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....
The Sad Thing? That's Apple Juice
For those of you whose lives are just not completely without a drunken photo of Kyle Orton, Rex Grossman or Ben Roethlisberger ... hey, it's your lucky day! This one's from Mondesi's House, and features Big Ben making the exact face you would expect someone to make when they are sitting on a couch n...
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...
The Only Time Peyton Manning Will Ever Be Associated With Hip-Hop
Not excited enough yet about the Colts hosting the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game next week? It's Peyton Manning against his old nemesis again! Come on!...
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...
The Poultry Is Up ... And It's Good!
Screw Barbaro. He may be a Kentucky Derby winner and have a knack for avoiding being glue, but can he kick a field goal with a chicken? Yes, you heard us right. When watching the video above, keep a close eye the hind leg of the horse, and of course the chicken who serves himself up with a determina...
Buzzsaw Hires The Whiz
Despite initial rumors that had them hiring (ugh) Mike Sherman, Our Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals have hired Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt to be their new head coach. The Buzzsaw players can barely contain their excitement....
We Will Never Rid Ourselves Of The Colts
We wrap up our roundup posts of the weekend's games with the most boring game of the weekend: The Colts' dreary win over the Ravens. Despite not having the best game, Peyton Manning was squawking afterwards about not getting respect, or something, but the main thing he did right Saturday was not bei...
