In case you've forgotten, we here at Deadspin have made a solemn vow to get our Barry Bonds news exclusively from BarryBonds.com, just the way Barry would like it. (Because we're true fans. And we hate the white media. And we really want us to give us a "Shout Out" sometime.)...

Shots Fired Outside Superdome
It's beginning to turn crazy and chaotic outside the Superdome; people are actually shooting at the rescue helicopters, which is totally counterproductive.

It's a sad day when Boston fathead David Wells is turned into a Stepford Drone, but it has happened.

Terrell Owens Update: Still Keeping It Real
We haven't checked in on Terrell Owens for a while; how's it goin', Terrell? Well, looks like he and Donovan McNabb still aren't talking, which isn't a big deal, since we can't imagine their level of discourse is all that high anyway.
