Giants Lead Chiefs At The Half
Thanks mainly to a goal-line stop of Larry Johnson, one of the worst defensive efforts you'll ever see by the Chiefs, a turnover late in the half, and a Jay Feely field goal attempt that was evidently influenced by divine intervention, the Giants lead the Chiefs 10-3 at halftime....

I know it's only my second week doing...
Someone At Fox Loves The Damn Sleigh Bells
Every ten seconds or so in the Patriots/Bucs game, someone at Fox is hitting the button to play some goddamn sleigh bell noise. It's like the producer put his ADD child in charge of the audio for today's broadcast, and the little bastard is pounding the sleigh bell button like he's playing Ten Yar...

Week In Deadspin: A Marquee QB Story

Oh Oscar, Oscar, Oscar ...
Time to check in with our old friend, MLB Blogs. Well, we see that they've gone institutionally insane. Interesting. Jack Klugman is now blogging. And not about baseball, really — just hawking his book on Tony Randall, and telling Jackie Gleason stories. Actually, he's podcasting Jackie Gleason s...

We've had a few protests over our upcoming hiatus from the athlete run-in stories. We're flattered that you like them so much, and we promise they will be back after the new year.

Year In Review: April
The year is almost over. All the magazines are doing year-in-review type stuff, so we figured, why should we be any different? Therefore, for the next 12 days, we will be looking back on each month on the calendar, pointing out the weird/important/amusing stuffs that happened that month. Deadspin ...
The Royals' Alphabet Madness
As one of the few people left on the planet who actually brings a scorebook to baseball games — it's actually leather-bound; it is, without a doubt, our most prized possession — we sympathize greatly with the citizens of Kansas City today....
Blogdome: Van Gundy Daughter Speaks!
• Maybe Stan Van Gundy quit the Heat to spend more time with his family, but, well, nobody asked his daughter what she thought. [J.E. Skeets] • Yeah, this is pretty much what ESPN fantasy analysis is really like. [Some Fine Fellows] • Perhaps Cardinals GM Walt Jocketty should work on his free agent ...
Blogdom's Best: Hating The Patriots
Previously we have examined the great fan blogs of the NFL and Major League Baseball, and what an interesting journey it was.

Athlete Run-In: El-Amin And His Sandwich

Honoring Fantasy Football's Greatest
On the list of strange potential tourist attractions, we have to say, the upcoming Fantasy Football Hall of Fame has to be pretty high up there.
