Afternoon Blogdome: The Hottest Spot North Of Gund Arena
[email protected] can't smile without you. • You gave without taking: LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony both have Barry Manilow on their iPods. So they got the mix tape I sent? [Deuce of Davenport] • Some facial hair wouldn't hurt: Be a leader ... the Kevin Millar Way. In other words, hit .230 ....

Deadspin Presents The (Very) Poor Man's College Basketball Season Preview Hoedown
You didn't think I would really do it, did you? Well, you were wrong. I solicited team-by-team previews from experts far and wide all across this great land in order to bring you, the reader, the most comprehensive, learned and totally in-your-face college basketball smackdown any where in the Weste...
'Slightly Awkward, A Little Dorky And A Little Cute In A Weird Way'; Our Ladies Rate Bill Simmons
Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why no...
College Football Preview: Avoiding Landmines Edition
Now that everyone knows exactly what's going to happen with the rest of the college football season, this is when something inevitably blows up. Because if there's one thing we know about the convoluted BCS system, it's this: nothing is certain with three weekends to go. Alabama still has to get pa...
Former Arizona Wildcats Get Punchy In Europe
Have you heard the one about how in Russia they do things in the opposite way that you would expect them to happen elsewhere? It's a hilarious gag! It might also be the explanation for what went wrong in this Russian basketball game. A minor melee broke out, there was some slight pushing and shovin...
The Packers Are One Step Closer to that Second Round Draft Pick
Last night's ridiculous Jets-Patriots battle in Foxborough turned out to be everything a football fan could hope for , with the requisite Favreian/Spygate intrigue thrown in for good measure. But even though Favre ended up on the winning end of things and played a mistake-free, efficient game, it wa...
Lenny Dykstra's Financial Acumen Called Into Question (Again)
Did that Lenny "Wally Wall Street" Dykstra story from yesterday seem a little fishy? (And familiar?) Well yes, his troubles with a few of his business partners have been well documented, but those were just friendly disagreements over strategy and don't really change the fact that the guy is filthy ...
It'll Be Our Merriest Christmas Ever
Just imagine their delight when the kids troop down on Christmas morning and find one of these babies under the tree. It will be hard for little Trevor to contain his joy.

George W. Bush: Fan Of The Sun Devils ... Or The Shocker?
If you've been on the Internet lately, you've probably seen this picture of the President of the United States making a hand gesture that you probably wouldn't make in front of your own mother. He only did it while posing with the men's and women's track teams from Arizona State University and then ...
Alright You Lowlifes, The Boy From Eastern Illinois Is Back
Just a handful of moments after announcing that Tony Romo would return to action this week, Jerry Jones puffed himself up and guaranteed that the Cowboys would make the playoffs. I believe the term he used is that they would "absolutely" be there. Also, Jones said that he would welcome back Pacman J...
Morning Blogdome: Barry Bonds In "The Deer Hunter"
[email protected] has seen the photos. You're in big trouble now. • Whitetail deer, jerks: Barry may have found his post-baseball career hunting whitetail in Canada. Oh, he doesn't need that gun. [You Been Blinded] • Don't get us started on the fans: J.J. Redick is not happy with his playing ti...

Just Because I Want One More Opportunity to Run This Photo....
There were plenty of concerned emails from readers after the Rick's Cabaret fiasco, but none were as well-intentioned and thorough as the one from Bomani Jones, friend of Deadspin and self-proclaimed strip club expert: I read about Daulerio and Leitch's trip to Rick's. Good stuff, great photos, etc....
Contentious Media Dork Calls Bill Simmons a "Jock Washer"
Throughout Bill Simmons ongoing mysterious Andy Dufresne saga with the WWL over his podcast, his NFL Picks column, and his treatment at Page 2, his thinly-veiled digs have, for the most part, only been scrutinized by the sports media watchers fascinated by the Sports Fella's every move.(Myself inclu...
Lenny Dykstra For Secretary Of The Treasury
It goes without saying that now is not a particularly strong time to be in the stock market. I believe the entire NASDAQ exchange can be had for approximately $42 and a sandwich, but buying it somehow starts foreclosure proceedings on your home. (Finance is complicated.) There is one man, however, w...
