Week In Deadspin: What We Missed While Floating Around
It might seem strange for us to try to recap a week in which we watched absolute no sports whatsoever, but we're gonna give it a try anyway....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you realize those people on the TV show "Lost" may not even really want to get rescued at all ... • Boxing: Light middleweights, Oscar Diaz vs. Russell Jordan, at Verona, N.Y. Oh Lord, give these men the strength to go forth and pound each other to a fine powder. [ESPN2] • NASCAR Ne...
John Rocker Would Like To Knock You Up
Maybe we're just too skeptical today, but this might be too good to be believed: It seems John Rocker has himself a Match.com profile. (His handle is "bullpenjohn," rather than, say, "crackerman1974.")...
Leftovers: See Ya, Lil' Penny
• Magic promptly waive Penny Hardaway. Will Isiah re-sign him to six-year deal? [Central Florida News] • Speedskater Hedrick wins another medal to add to his coaster collection. [AP] • Patriots refuse to franchise Adam Vinatieri. [Reb Sox] • Jeff Bagwell angers Astros by showing up for work. That ha...
Welcome To The World Of Fantasy Fishing
We really can't blame ESPN for this, because we suppose somebody has to host something like this, but we have spent that last half an hour giggling about fantasy fishing. We're sure there's someone out there in a smoke-filled poker room, staring down opposing owners in a game of fantasy fishing auct...
The Week in Photos
Yes, some poor demented soul sent us a bunch of David Hasselhoff photos (a cry for help, really). That's a top hat. And a frog. It serves as a disturbing and inaspicious start to our Week in Photos ......
Brian Giles Remembers The Little People
Since we're not nearly the pop culture oddity barometer we wish we were, we were not aware of MiniKISS, the band consisting of "little people" who dress up like (and play the songs of) KISS. We're not sure what we can say here, except that we like the idea of the Gene Simmons equivalent having a ...
Get Them To Sign On The Line That Is Dotted
These are the new sponsors. These are the Glengarry sponsors. To you, these are gold; you do not get these. Because to give them to you would be throwing them away....
Blogdome: Sasha Cohen's Future
• An interview with Sasha Cohen, circa 2016. [Taylor Bunts] • The only way to withstand Knicks basketball is by watching games from 10 years ago. [High Socks & Short Shorts] • Could Cuba win the World Baseball Classic? [Talking Baseball] • Or maybe the whole tournament will just kill Chad Cordero. [...
Blogdom's Best: Indiana Pacers
It might not — yet — have the online fanaticism and cachet of baseball, but the NBA and its fans are starting to catch up in the world of team-devoted blogs. To this end, Deadspin salutes these modem-addled souls and proudly presents Blogdom s Best, given to the most outstanding blog for each NBA ...
The J.J. Redick It's OK To Like
This story is a little bit old, and pretty much everyone else has written about it, but we don't care, because we were gone all week and do not want to go down in history as having ignored it....
Anybody Out There Have ESPN Mobile? Anyone?
We were watching another one of those impressive ESPN Mobile commercials this morning, and we thought we'd check in and see how the much-ballyhooed big-bucks launch of the product was going. Of course, finding sales numbers is pretty much out of the question, and most of the mainstream press has f...
We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 3 p.m. Bracketology with Joe Lunardi: Can you use your powers to find the lost whippet? • 3:30 p.m. Crush QB John Dutton. My Arena League Championship Game party was a big dud, and I blame you. • 4 p.m. Paul Shirley's So-Called Career:...
Vince Carter Getting "Freaky?"
We were sent the following video from a fellow named Mr. Jones, claiming that Nets guard Vince Carter is shown frollicking in Cancun. If one can classify this activity as "frollicking." We will say that our vacation was nothing like this at all....
Ali G Hooks You Up
If you're like us, you had only one thought as Sasha Cohen was accepting her figure skating silver medal on Thursday: How would Ali G describe it? Check out Ali G's possible take on Cohen's silver at The Sports Pulse — which includes the line: "Me is not into batty boy bruvers so Johnny Weir stop ...
Intimate Fantasies About ... Aw, Jeez, HER?
Inspired by a look back at Tonya Harding's career a couple of days ago, a reader, who must be the sports fan equivalent of a cutter, did some research into Tonya and found something so disturbing that pointing it out to you makes us feel like we might be a bad person....
So, Did We Miss Anything?
After eight days floating around a tiny boat in the Caribbean sun, we are proud to say that we are back and, as they say, ready to rock. Our trip was most pleasant, thank you, and we even spent half an hour at the Nevis Sports Museum (apparently they play much cricket there)....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while trying to circumnavigate Nova Scotia by boat and discovering it's not an island ... • Winter Olympics: Cohen fulfills dream, skates beautifully to ... uh oh. That's a shame. Well, silver's nice. • NBA: Artest fails to unleash the madness against Kobe as Lakers top Kings. • Nova...
Now That Was Just Cruel
OK, we were nearly finished — halfway out the door to greet the remains of the day — when a final, fateful e-mail popped into view. We feel we have suffered enough today, what with the Johnny Weir topless photos, "The Pizzle's" French rap technique and unrelenting abuse from Nova Scotia residents....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch after you discover that Wal-Mart does not have refills for your web shooters ......
