Brandon Jacobs Is Not Impressed With The Titans
We admire Giants touchdown sponge Brandon Jacobs, not only because he went to Southern Illinois, but because he's making every person we know who drafted Tiki Barber in fantasy football want to kill themselves. (Barber still has one touchdown this year.) We admire him because he's a rookie second-...
Leftovers: Bill Vs. Bob?
• Doc Rivers is coming between the passionate love affair of Bill Simmons and Bob Ryan. [Boston Sports Media] • That could be all for Junior Seau; if we're in San Diego, there's absolutely no way we let him retire as a Charger. [Boston Globe] • The price of Rickey Henderson? Going up!

Welcome To Deadspin Widescreen
As some of you might have noticed, the design looks a wee bit different around here today; we're doing some tweaking, some minor "redesigning," if you will, and we think it looks quite nice....
In Case You Were Wondering What Freddie Mitchell Has Been Up To Lately
We never tire of making fun of the various post-"retirement" exploits of former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Freddie Mitchell, but a reader from Indiana tops them all with a story (and picture) he sent in over the weekend. Here's the tale:...
Eli Manning Would Just Like To Go Home Now
After yesterday afternoon's installment in the weekly drama of the Eli Manning Swath Of Destruction, one thing seems rather clear: The Giants quarterback just doesn't seem to be enjoying football very much. This probably shouldn't be much of a surprise, considering his father and older brother have ...

Tracy McGrady Is More Stylish Than His Friends
We'd like to thank We Are The Postmen for directing us in the general direction of this set of pictures from Rockets star Tracy McGrady's wedding, which took place in Las Cabos, Mexico. McGrady, when not shirtless in the pictures, looks pretty sharp, but it's his wife Clarinda who steals the show, a...
"The Road To Glendale Is Paved With Trojans!"
An aggressively active weekend of college football has sussed a few things out, and before you know it, we'll be fully ensconced in the morass of meaningless bowls hosted by dying dot-coms. (Our two favorite bowl games this year: The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl and R&L Carriers New...
Yet Another Death You Can Blame On Steve Spurrier
In honor of the great Simpsons statement against seven-day waiting periods to buy weapons — "But I'm mad NOW!" — we present a distinct moment in college football history: The time a 42-year-old guy named Jimmy shot a 43-year-old man named Ricky in the chest because of a $20 bet on the Clemson-South ...

Who's Sorry Now? Hand Jive Edition
Who's Sorry Now? is going away for a little while. All this remorse has been overwhelming, and we're sad to report that we began drinking again. So we'll be resting at a secure rehabilitation facility in a country setting in Northern California, and we may even get Robin Williams' old room. But firs...

Sunday Night Football: Colts vs. Eagles
Flex scheduling was supposed to prevent things like this. NFL rules now allow NBC to select their Sunday night games a couple of weeks in advance to avoid late season matchups like Tennessee vs. Minnesota or something. And even with the new policy, we still end up with Jeff Garcia in prime time. But...
NFL Week Twelve, Update #4
• Titans 24, Giants 21. And now the Giants know how USC felt. Vince Young was outstanding in the second half of this game, making plays with his legs and his arms to put the Titans on his back and lead them to an insane comeback victory. What I said earlier about Eli Manning not sucking today? Yea...

He Can't Even Play For Isiah
It's been a week or two since we checked in with the running joke that is the New York Knicks. As it turns out, it doesn't look like the dream pairing of Stephon Marbury and his "father figure" Isiah Thomas is going to function as seamlessly as we all thought it would. Things reached a low-point l...
