David Stern Invites Seattle to Watch Their Ex-Girlfriend With New Boyfriend
On the weekend before the NBA finally returns to action after its six-week sabbatical after the NBA Finals, we must take one more moment to remember one city that will not be joining the rest of us in our journey this season as Oklahoma City tries to pretend they can support both an NBA franchise an...
NFL Update 1: Blackout!
Let's get you folks up to speed, our friends in Detroit who have taken a noble stand by refusing to pay big bucks to watch a horrible football team. Unfortunately, this little bit of protest has forced them to deal with the dreaded NFL blackout. We're here for you, D-Town. Washington 3, Detroit 10....
Over 1700 Endurance Racers Go Temporarily Missing in Flood
Despite receiving warnings from local authorities, the organizers of the Original Mountain Marathon (an exxxtreme endurance event in England, to be exact) plowed forward with the race this weekend. Unfortunately, they didn't have Bud Selig's weathermen on staff, so they had to switch the race midway...
Isiah Thomas Finds New Ways to Offend Fans, Excite Press
Harrison, NY, Police Chief David Hall can't stop himself when he sees a microphone a-comin'. In about a week, the New York Daily News will turn on their own sirens to try to escape him. For now, though, the New York press and Chief Hall can't stop rolling around with each other in an effort to tell ...
NFL Preview: Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Whatcha Gonna Do?
What a week for evil, HEEENGH? This probably isn't what Roger Goodall had in mind when he was going to "clean up the league". A Texans long-snapper and half of the Saints team got busted for the hilariously wimpy accusation of ingesting water pills; none have been suspended yet. Kellen Winslow got ...

Public] • Suggestion for those looking to receive a link in the Blogdomes: use the phrase "Skycam pilot". Pretty much a winner. [Palestra.net] • Tommie Harris of the Chicago Bears bore...
UFC 90: Silva Crumples Cote in Unsatisfying Manner
As yet another reminder that style points matter in judged sports (even when they're not tallied explicitly), Anderson Silva seemingly toyed with Patrick Cote before watching his competition collapse under expectations (and an old knee injury renewed) in the third round. Of course, Silva now has to ...
College Football Recap: Giggity, Giggity!
Were there a whole lot of football games being played by college students yesterday or what? Let's recap all of the Top 25 games - you can look up the rest on your own - trying to only use about sentence or so for each one because baseball will not let anyone sleep! (1) Texas vs. (6) Oklahoma State...
World Series Game Three: The Game That Time Forgot
Let's do some recapping for those of you who made the unwise decision of getting some of this "sleep" nonsense instead of watching one of the better World Series tilts in recent memory. The game started about two hours late due to the field being soaked in God's tears - guess it's not always sunny ...
The Deadspin Pub: Featuring The EPL's Top Two
There's really nothing that needs to be said. Keeley Hazel just looks hotter in the beautiful blue of Chelsea. Oh, and Chelsea happens to be hosting Liverpool with first place atop the English Premier League's table at stake after nearly a quarter of the season. The Scousers and Blues have each rac...
Comcast Customers in Philly Swing, Miss at Seeing Home Runs
We started receiving rather angry emails just after midnight. No, our ex-girlfriend hadn't left her Mail Goggles off accidentally. (She never leaves it off accidentally.) The emails came instead from angry viewers in and around Philadelphia, describing their anguish and rage over missing the back-to...
World Series Game Three Live Blog: Rays at Phillies
According to our friend here and our friends Joely Fisher and Jeanne Zelasko there, we will have actual baseball tonight. As seen as TV! Needless to say, we didn't see this coming. We still don't know if this is a real nine-inning affair or if it's enough to merely get it legal. We're up for a late ...
UFC 90: Sweet Home Rosemont
Not only do we have a World Series game (in theory) and a decent college football matchup tonight, but we also have UFC 90 on pay-per-view. Unfortunately, we don't live near Rosemont to see the card at Allstate Arena tonight (home of the Chicago Wolves, DePaul basketball, and numerous Wiggles concer...
YOUR HORSE-BANGERS CUP RECAP: Muhannek starts off the day by getting a win in the Marathon, Europe's first win in the Breeders Cup; Desert Code takes the Turf Sprint despite some longshot 30-1 odds; Albertus Maximus fed his foes to the lions in the Dirt Mile; Fiily Goldikova takes the Mile crown awa...
Nothing's More Fun Than A Boxing Controversy!
There's nothing quite like a good ol' fashioned boxing fix, especially when it's extremely obvious. There's something almost pure about how it simultaneously deceives and yet has the balls to not even care if anyone notices. Last night's fight in Montreal between Canadian Lucian Bute and Mexican-Am...
To Watch Tonight: To Begin With, Everything

Hugh 4: Louisiana Signals Its Displeasure Over Current Events
Thanks to Paul for this evocative image, complete with artsy angle. (And also thanks to Brad, who sent one just before post time.) We thought the LSU fans were a little drama queen-y when their band broke out "Paint It Black" at 21-7 Georgia. Now we know for sure. Lady Andrea: The #1-ranked team is ...
NFL Voids Jim Haslett's Contract
Well, this is certainly some unexpected news. Jim Haslett, the hot-headed interim coach of the Rams who signed a contract with the team guaranteeing they remove the "interim" label next year if he wins 6 games, was just informed by the league that the contract no longer exists! Because they tore th...
Hugh 3: Brian Who?
Texy let us know that Brian Griese had an awful time remembering Chris Weinke's name in the Texas-Team That Will Lose to Texas game. We don't think Chris should be offended. He had a fine sports career and should be proud of his efforts. Besides, who's gonna remember Brian Griese in three years? We ...
