Oh, Sleep Well. We DARE You.
We present the mascots for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. It's a panda, an antelope, a fish, a swallow and an Olympic flame. Or, as we prefer to call those creatures, "nightmare fuel." Why are Olympic mascots always so scary?...

Saying A Sad Goodbye To Mock Press Conferences
Well, tonight's the final night for those brilliant and universally lauded Steve Phillips mock press conferences on ESPN, and we think it's important that the lunacy of the feature not be forgotten by time. Phillips — whom we don't mean to destroy here; he comes across sympathetic and intelligent...
Even Satan Is Saying, "Rosenhaus? Never Met Him."
The Philadelphia Daily News brings up something we pretty much all figured was going to happen: It appears a bunch of Drew Rosenhaus' clients are seriously considering dropping him after his pretty clear botching of the Terrell Owens situation. Rosenhaus signed up most of his clients in the last t...
Introducing Darren Prince

You Can't Trust Cheerleaders. You CAN'T.
Proving once again that she has no idea how you succeed in this world, Panthers cheerleader Angela Keathley, the black-haired member of the duo, has released a statement to deny there was any sex at all. Despite statements from those who were waiting in line for them — and statements from everyone...

Jim Edmonds, Gold LOVER
We've been so caught up with lesbian cheerleaders and fake press conferences — both of which, just to wrap all this up, we'll be checking back with later today — that we forgot to check in with the great On The DL girls this week. We're sorry, ladies! We still have nothing but love....

Welcome Back To L.A.
Uh, if you're a Vikings, Chargers or Saints fan today, we'd suggest not getting too attached to your team.

Deadspin Field Trip: Rodman's Book Signing
A media friend of ours emailed us yesterday and said, "Dennis Rodman's publicist just called me and promised he's going to pull a 'major' stunt at his book signing tomorrow." We couldn't imagine what Rodman could possibly do that could be classified as "major," save for, you know, sitting down and...

We Apologize In Advance ... But MORE CHEERLEADERS!
We know we implied yesterday that we were just about done with this whole Carolina cheerleader thing, but, you see, we just ... can't ... tear ourselves ... away. We suspect you understand....

The Amazing Ray Ratto Mug Shift
Who says we don't have clout? Following our blistering indictment of Ray Ratto's new CBS Sportsline column mug yesterday, the site changed it. Ratto's face is now partly visible, where in the first one you could only see his eyes and the top of his head. They still have a way to go, obviously, but...
