To Watch Tonight...
• College Basketball: Pepperdine @ #7 Gonzaga. Because if it wasn't for college basketball, you'd never have the opportunity to say the words "Pepperdine" or "Gonzaga."...
Redskins vs. Seahawks - 4th Quarter
• Hey, a 52-yard gain by the Redskins. All on one play. They are serious about cracking that 200-yard barrier today....
Redskins vs. Seahawks - 3rd Quarter
• It's official... Shaun Alexander won't be returning. Perhaps I'm crazy, but this doesn't seem like that big of a negative for the Seahawks. The Redskins aren't going to let anyone run on them today, be it Shaun Alexander, Maurice Morris, or Curt Warner. Now, they've got to put the game in the ha...
Redskins vs. Seahawks - 2nd Quarter
• Damn... Seattle WR Darrell Jackson's return is also questionable. He took a knee in the back. Losing Darrell Jackson and Shaun Alexander in the first 15:00 of play is a nightmare scenario for the Seahawaks....
Redskins vs. Seahawks - 1st Quarter
• Twenty-seven straight days of rain in Seattle? That's just disgusting. The Seahawks better win, because between the rain and the presence of Tony Siragusa, half of the city's population is probably already on suicide watch....
Elsewhere In College Basketball...
• Alabama 68, Kentucky 64. Kentucky getting slapped around is becoming kind of a tradition here on Saturdays at Deadspin. Sorry, 'Cats fans. I didn't mean for it to be that way. Alabama, Kansas, Indiana... next Saturday, it's Georgia's turn....
Today In The Premiership...
• Arsenal 7-0 Middlesbrough. Holy Lord. 7-0? Did they let Arsenal use their hands? Man, there's real chance that Arsenal outscores the Chicago Bears this weekend. In fact, Thierry Henry might outscore the Bears himself, as he scored three of the seven....
Texas Hangs On Against Villanova
In maybe the biggest contrast of styles that's even possible between two teams in the Top 20, Texas held on to beat Villanova in an excellent game, 58-55. This one was much better for the Longhorns than the last time they played a top-5 team on CBS....
Some Car Race Just Keeps Killing People
In the ninth stage of the Dakar Rally, an Australian motorcyclist named Andy Caldecott died in a crash....
Anyone See Glory Road?
I considered going to check it out, but I was a little hesitant. Nothing against Jerry Bruckheimer, but I don't feel like giving up $8 to see him tackle any serious issues of culture, because I doubt it's going anywhere beyond the standard Hollywood "let's just make sure we all feel warm and fuzzy...
Today On The College Hardwood...
• #3 Villanova @ #9 Texas. The speed and skill of Villanova's four-guard line-up against the giant cornfed Texans that roam the paint in Austin....
About Last Night...

Week in Deadspin: Yay, for the Baby!
· Clinton Portis shocks the crap out of everyone by appearing at Redskins weekly press conference as...himself....

Ah, the Joys of Baseball Trade Rumors
We're admittedly a little tingly about this rumored Abreu-for-Manny-for-Miggy scuttlebutt that's been tossed around, oh, the last couple months. As a Philly fan, it'd be easy to see the town completely embracing Ramirez. Granted, they'll get on him about that whole "hustle" thing, but the same com...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as the Houston Texans front office plays "rock, paper, scissors" to choose their No. 1 draft pick ... PGA Tour, Sony Open, second round, at Honolulu: Michelle Wie, charging back with a vengeance — only 142 people to pass. Get out of her way! [ESPN]...
Leftovers: And Boomer Goes the Dynamite!
· The enigmatic wide receiver did in fact start swinging in the locker room last weekend, according to former Bengals' quarterback Boomer Esiason. Marvin Lewis broke it up. Boomer calls him a knucklehead. What happened to good ol' fashioned towel-snapping in the locker room? [Mr. Irrelevant] · Colt'...
Playoff Pants Party! Steelers at Colts
More ugliness. This would be horrible if the Steeler's won this game. Please. This can't happen. We really need to see the Patriots/Colts decide this thing once and for all.(Erm, this season, at least.) (Yes, barring the Broncos don't screw it up, either.)...
Playoff Pants Party! Redskins at Seahawks
Snore. Anybody else smell craptastic blowout on this one? Even though the Seahawks are notorious bed-shitters when it comes to the playoffs, it seems almost impossible for them to lose this game. Yes, the Redskins defense is great, Greg Williams is a multi-millionaire genius, and the offense is...hm...
Curious Figure Skating Enthusiasts Rejoice!
Confused about Olympic figure skating? Can't tell a double salchow from a layback spin? Congratulations — you're a normal, adult male. Now let's go hunting. No, wait, that's all very wrong and we're sorry. Bring those ski and snowboard officials over here when they're done with Bode and we'll apolo...
