Athlete Run-Ins: Smokin' John Elway
We only have one athlete run-in story today, because it's the day after Thanksgiving and we're taking a half day. Wednesday's Scott Podsednik story was excellent — though it had a few people wondering if Podsednik had a legitimate, serious alcohol problem — but today's brings up something we alway...
Wait ... It's Mariucci's Fault?
After watching that wretched Lions' loss to the Falcons yesterday — we'll do anything to make the NFL take away the guaranteed Lions homegame on Thanksgiving every year; that game is NEVER competitive — word is starting to rumble: The Lions are considering firing coach Steve Mariucci. This is Mari...

George Best, R.I.P.
As all those who didn't like to play outside as a child mourn the passing of Mr. Miyagi Pat Morita, we pause to lament the passing of one of soccer's most popular players, George Best, a guy who drank hard, played harder and never met a pair of legs he couldn't scramble up....
Reggie Miller, Pacers Propagandist
Like us, the kids at YAYSports! watched that Pacers-Cavaliers last night and were pretty astounded at just how awful Reggie Miller was as a broadcaster. YAYSports! takes this to its logical conclusion and imagines how Miller — an unabashed homer for the Pacers — might cover events on other channe...
A T.O And Rosenhaus Thanksgiving
Every wonder what a Terrell Owens-Drew Rosenhaus Thanksgiving might have been like? Blogger The Mighty MJD has, and, in what has to be a sports blog first, actually writes short story about it. It's just Owens and Rosenhaus, alone in a room, each silent in their thoughts as they watch Jeff Garcia ...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while being stabbed to pieces by the Roman senate ... • NFL: Dayne's run helps Broncos beat Cowboys in OT. Wait, Ron Dayne? Wow. • NBA: Ron Artest, on his best behavior, leads Pacers over Cavaliers. We're sure that will last. What could go wrong? • NHL: Rangers beat Thrashers, cannot...
Happy Thanksgiving, Fellow Consumers!
Well, we're checking out early here today, because it's the day before Thanksgiving, and if we don't get out of here now, we're going to end up spending Turkey Day trapped in this dead, lonely, Alanis Morissette-spewing surburban Starbucks, the only place we can find around here with wireless acce...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you take you slide the turkey into the oven (not a euphemism) ... • College Basketball: NIT Season Tip-Off, semifinals, Duke vs. Drexel; UCLA vs. Memphis, at New York. We know it's early, but could someone play a little defense to keep us interested? [ESPN2] • NBA: Phoenix Suns at H...
University Of Miami: Complete Assheads
In one of the more ridiculous travesties of justice we can possibly think of happening on a college campus — save for maybe Nick Lachey living with Matt Leinart — the University of Miami has kicked blogger Kyle Munzenrieder out of campus housing after he posted a two-year-old rap song from Miami f...
Athlete Run-Ins: Podsednik Takes Six For The Team
Our final athlete run-in story of the day (and the week) comes to us from Jeffrey in Massachusetts. It's about everybody's favorite scrappy World Series hero Scott Podsednik....
Seeing Oddjack Off In Style
As some of you might have heard, our trusty, pathological brother Oddjack announced yesterday that it was taking its ball and going home on December 2. This saddens us — as you've surely noticed, we're big fans of the site — but we know editor A.J. Daulerio will be back haunting the halls of the I...
Eagles Finally Get A Win!
Well, that settles that, then: Arbitrator Richard Bloch has ruled against Terrell Owens, whose suspension will remain throughout the rest of the season. It has come to the point that the Eagles, frankly, will take any victory they can right now....
Our Own, Demented Version Of "Switched At Birth"
Because in a month we're going to be the only people who remember the show, we feel obliged to point out — per a reader's excellent, perceptive eye — that ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Bilas and Will Arnett's ridiculously funny "Gob" from "Arrested Development" look so much like each other t...
Waiting For Rodman ...
Let's hear it for the people who waited for three hours outside of Kezar Pavilion in San Francisco on Tuesday for Dennis Rodman to show up for a book signing. (Who gives you coast-to-coast Rodman coverage? Deadspin, that's who). And what an occasion it was. The weather was cool and crisp, the mill...

Blogdom's Best: New York Giants
It might not — yet — have the online fanaticism and cachet of baseball, but the NFL 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 NFL ...
Greg Gall Free To Stumble Down Street
Fans of America, you can now breathe easier: You can still get shit-faced, run onto the field and slap Carson Palmer on the ass, and you won't have to worry about much time in the clink. A day after a zealous prosecutor threatened to put crazed Bengals "fan" Greg Gall away for 30 days for becomin...
Danica Races To The Altar
Hey wait, a wedding, and we weren't invited? It seems that elfin Indy driver Danica Patrick went and got married over the weekend, right under our noses, and we're just now hearing about it. And the staffers at Star call themselves journalists ... Details are beginning to leak, though (probably t...
