The OJ Simpson Feel Good Moment
Like most people, we took a certain satisfaction in watching O.J. Simpson taken away in handcuffs yesterday after being arrested for armed robbery , assault, burglary and conspiracy. We never even had the satisfaction of seeing him carted off when he was arrested the first time, before we knew he wa...
Please Don't Burn Down Our Big House
According to an email from one former Michigan player to a group of Michigan alumni, the alums are planning a little pump-er-upper tomorrow for the Irish game....
He Might Get More Votes Than Mike Gravel
You've been blinded by the breathtaking brilliance of Digger Phelps on ESPN for years. Somehow, in the vast barren nation of banality, Phelps has been a beacon of hope and brilliance. So much so that, sheesh, we should elect him President!...
Isiah Thomas Trial Takes Nasty Turn ... Thanks To Stephon!
We are the furthest thing from a legal expert — we legitimately had to have "billable hours" explained to us earlier this year — but one would think, after yesterday's testimony in the Isiah Thomas sexual harassment case, Isiah and MSG would have to be in some serious trouble....
About Last Night ...
What you missed while dropping a dime on Jimmy Two Times ... • Soccer: You tell your king that William Wallace will NOT be ruled... and nor will any Scot while I live. Scotland 1, France 0. • MLB: Aaaannd ... we're tied again. Somebody end this. Pirates 7, Brewers 4. • Tennis: Hantuchova (bless you)...
Do You Have Irish-Wolverines Fever?
If you didn't get your fill of quality football from that train wreck at Monster Park last night, worry not: You still have the Notre Dame-Michigan game to look forward to this Saturday. Yes, the 0-2 Fighting Irish travel to the 0-2 Wolverines in a game that has all the intrigue of two 80-year-old m...
All of those fun little technical difficulties from last weekend have been sorted out (the difference a space bar can make!) and we're ready to go for week 2 of Hugh II: The Nedessy Continues... Please send me all of your most insightful and pithy comments to our AIM screen name, NCAA Deadspin. [The...
Rodney Harrison Comes Clean, League Remains Dirty
The Patriots plan for a 19-0 season took a big hit today when it was announced that Rodney Harrison has been suspended for the first four games of the regular season. New England's veteran safety's name came up in a federal investigation that's going to rock Roger Goodell's world. When questioned by...
Special Weekend Football Foodie
Over at Ladies, we've started a series called the "Friday Football Foodie" which centers on the third best aspect of football weekends, (behind the games themselves and gambling, respectively), which is the massive amount of eating and drinking you can do while hanging out with your friends. It is t...
And Miss, What Does The "P" Stand For Again?
I don't know much about soccer. I'm not going to pretend to know much about soccer. But if the masses want some Prem League recaps, they are going to get some Prem League recaps. I hope it's sufficient....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as mankind prepares for the Potato Wars ... • Baseball: San Francisco at Atlanta. If we could get a Bobby Cox ejection during a Bonds home run, that would save endless time. [TBS] • NFL: Preseason, Miami at Kansas City. Yes, I have Brodie Croyle Fever. Why do you ask? [ESPN] • Tennis: ...
The Irish Sing And Sway
We're not sure why we find this video of the Notre Dame football team singing the Irish theme song to their fans so hypnotic, but we too....
Trip Fisk Probably Isn't A Scimitar Fan, Either
There. I somehow tied a random YouTube video to a sports story. Cash me, Denton....
Titans To Pacman: You Shant Pretend Wrestle
When we last left our intrepid yet suspended NFL hero, which was yesterday, we were speculating the possibility of wrestlers exacting revenge on Pacman Jones for what one of Jones' lackeys did to a strip club bouncer-slash-wrestling hopeful. So either the Tennessee Titans are afraid something might ...
Judge: Brazilian Soccer Is Too Gay
Say what you will about the legal system in our country — we are a country governed by laws, and those laws are enforced by a man who gleefully lies, splendid, amazing, artistically blessed lies — but at least we don't have people like Manoel Maximiniano Junqueira Filho, a Brazilian judge....
Ireland Has Trouble Keeping The Michigans Straight
Our own Matt Sussman recently spent some time in Northern Ireland — he'll be back for his shift this weekend — and found this incredibly odd T-shirt....
Solicit Like A Champion
We know that Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is infinitely more popular than Tyrone Willingham ever was (even though they have pretty much the same record at the university). But it's possible he was paying too much attention to his gastric bypass surgery than his players' well-being, because one of t...
