Morning Blogdome: Emmitt Smith Sings All The Hits That Make The Ladies Scream
• Boys will be boys: Emmitt Smith gets caught mouthing the line "women still owe me sex" during live MNF analysis intro. Maybe it's an articulation exercise the producers have him do before he goes on air? [Black Sports Online]• The perils of golfing: Seven ridiculous ways people have died on the g...

Each weekday morning Awful Announcing, video slash and grab extraordinaire of the sports blogosphere, gives us a visual rundown of everything you missed from the night before. If there's something sports-related you'd like to see with your coffee, shoot him an e-mail and let him know....
Monday Night Football: Ravens-Steelers
It's the rarest of sights. Two teams in the AFC North Division with functional motor skills on the same football field at the same time. Baltimore puts their vaunted undefeated season on the line in Heinz Field against the 2-1 Steelers. If you blog it, they will jump. * * *OK, Overtime For Rills Thi...
Michael Strahan's Strong Enough to be A Vaseline Man
In the spirit of Rafael Palemeiro for Viagra and Grant Hilll for staph infections comes Michael Strahan for...Vaseline. Now, now, now — before everybody hops on the obvious slippery connotations of such an endorsement, it appears Strahan's gap-toothed grin isn't going to be on the front of the spook...
Even Cris Carter Doesn't Listen To Cris Carter
Before we even get into it, please be aware, Chris Carter, that Will Leitch had nothing to do with this post. He's not even aware of it, so there's no need to "take him out," as you're fond of saying. The offending party is Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports (I'll find you his address if you want it)....
The Sklar Brothers Are On The Air, Sort Of
Randy and Jason Sklar, who created and starred in Cheap Seats on ESPN a while back, debut their new web-only series, Back on Topps, on Tuesday. It's my opinion that a web series about brothers who work at a sports card company will only work if it occasionally includes Dennis Rodman giving relations...

Jags Lineman Richard Collier Has Leg Amputated, Paralyzed After Shooting
Jaguars' offensive tackle Richard Collier's life will officially never be the same. He's lucky to be alive after 14 bullet wounds left him in critical condition for weeks, but his surgeon announced today as a result of his life-threatening injuries, Collier had his left leg amputated and will be par...
Tell It Goodbye
The Beatles played there, Pope John Paul II took a spin around the infield in the Popemobile, Spider-Man married Mary Jane Watson there, and one day in 1986 Bill Buckner rather famously had a ball roll through his legs. On Friday we asked you to send us your Shea Stadium memories, and you came throu...
Afternoon Blogdome: Ughhh!!! Scary!!!
DeShawn Stevenson is ready to start the season: The Washington Wizards guard spent $1,000 on these personalized wristbands featuring modified Lil' Wayne lyrics. Well, something is definitely blowing. [DC Sports Blog] Who needs stock options? It's not that the Devil Rays couldn't find one person to t...
Wall Street Crisis Trickles Down To Nation's Country Clubs
You've probably been following the current financial crisis in New York and the subsequent showboating in Washington meant to end it all and thought to yourself, "Yeah, but how is this going to affect me?" Well, why don't you stop being selfish for five minutes and think about the people who will tr...
The Five Habits of Highly Rejected Commenters
To keep the comments as fresh and outstanding as they've been up to this point, Commenting Guru Rob Iracane will write a bi-weekly Comment Ombudsman column. It runs every other week. This is that week. Mr. Iracane, co-proprietor of the brilliant Walkoff Walk , is also the guy who approves comments ...
NLDS Preview: Cubs Vs. Dodgers
From the very first day of Spring Training, the general consensus has been that This Is The Cubs' Year. (This has caused me considerable frightened quivering, pretty much from the get-go.) It's not just the 100 years thing either. It's difficult to argue that the Cubs haven't been the best team in ...
NLDS Preview: Phillies Vs. Brewers
At a certain level, it has to be tempting for Brewers manager Dale Sveum to just start C.C. Sabathia every game of this series. Obviously, that's not actually feasible, but who cares about Sabathia's future? The Brewers are losing him anyway. Ride the guy until he dies. Let the Yankees pay the pric...
College Football Roundup Week 5: The Saga of Destroyed College Gameday Signs
Each week more signs appear behind the stage at ESPN's College Gameday. Some are original and funny (Knowshon Crossing sign with his leaping outline), some are entirely inside jokes (let's make a sign with our friend's name on it and hold it up for three hours early in the morning), and some are de...
ALDS Preview: Angels Vs. Red Sox
The most refreshing aspect of the Red Sox-Angels series is that it's happening in the ALDS rather than the ALCS. This means, no matter what, that either the Devil Rays, the White Sox or the Twins will be playing for the World Series. In a crazy year, this is far more fitting than yet another Boston...
Matt Bryant Kicks Through The Pain
One of the most heartwarming and heartbreaking stories from yesterday's NFL news was that of Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Matt Bryant, who just a day after burying his 3-month-old son, Tryson, somehow summoned the strength to kick a ball through the uprights for his team. Bryant made three field goal...
Financial Institutions (And the Mets) Aren't the Only Things Collapsing in Epic Failure
Michael Bertin writes regularly about soccer for Deadspin. A funny thing happened on the way to the San Siro. Actually, it wasn't funny at all, but with the Special One lining up his charges against the Boys from Brazil (Pato, Kaka, Ronaldinho), Milan v. Inter seemed the likely footy fodder for the...
That Will Be All For Shawn Kemp
Well, this appears to be it for Shawn Kemp, the former NBA All-Star whose comeback has ended before it even began. Kemp, who recently signed a one-year contract to play for the Italian club Montegranaro Premiata, was cut by the team when he left training camp last week and didn't return. Kemp spent ...
And Our Next NFL Coach To Get The Axe Is Lane Kiffin Scott Linehan
Not long before she died, Georgia Frontiere made it known that she wanted Scott Linehan to have a third season as head coach of the Rams. So much for final wishes. Linehan was given the heave-ho at 2 a.m. today by Frontiere's sons after discussing the alternative of — get this — keeping him and brin...
