We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 10 a.m. Your take with Amy Nelson: Oh, you don't want my take, Amy. Believe me. • 10:30 a.m. Mike & Mike in the Morning: Since this is a chat, how am I supposed to tell which one is the fat one and which is the gay one? • Noon. MLB Ins...
Vick Just Can't Wait To Get Himself To Prison
We didn't get into this yesterday, but all told, we find it pretty amazing that Mr. Mexico has decided to check into jail three weeks early. We understand that it's a plan to look contrite in front of the judge ... but it's still taking quite a risk, wethinks....
That Gripping AFC West
We will confess, we did not watch the Monday Night Football game last night; we had a concert, the Illini were on and, frankly, we're gonna get enough football in the coming days. But we take solace in knowing there's a division worst than the Buzzsaw's NFC West....
In A Year, He'll Invade And Occupy Columbus, Georgia
Nick Saban was supposed to be the savior for Alabama football — and hey, the Dolphins sure have taken off since he left — but the team has collapsed down the stretch, losing their last three games, including last week's home loss to Louisiana-Monroe. Fortunately, Saban has been able to keep the loss...
New Jersey Nets Basketball: Don't Stop Believ —
A lot has been made of the New York Knicks' woes, and rightfully so. But what of the New Jersey Nets? Monday's 102-75 loss to the Jazz was the Nets' sixth straight. I'm only glad that Tony Soprano didn't live to see this....
Fletch (And The Islanders) Lives
It's the NHL Closer. We pass the mic to the kids at Orland Kurtenblog. Their NHL Closer is written by Canadians for Americans....
About Last Night
What you missed while bidding a sad farewell to Mr. Whipple ... • College basketball: Please don't squeeze the Chaminade. • NFL: So, the Broncos and Chargers are both in first place? What? Denver 34, Tennessee 20. • The New York Rangers really, really hate Rick DiPietro....
Sure, He's, Uh, Doing Some Bobcats Scouting
We were busy at this show tonight, so we're late on the uptake, but we will say this: We don't think we'll ever get used to seeing Michael Jordan wearing Illini colors. We wonder if Tar Heels fans will ever get used to it either....
Here We Are, Back In Denver Again
Jeez, didn't Denver just host a "Monday Night Football" game? That's right, they did, just three weeks ago, in the game when Brett Favre made everyone all weepy again. We thought we remember that....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch after having sex with your Schwinn ... • NFL: Tennessee at Denver. Oh Broncos, what happened to you? [ESPN] • College basketball: Maui Invitational, first round: LSU vs. Oklahoma State; Princeton vs. Duke; Arizona State vs. Illinois. Bruce Weber in colorful floral print shirts! [ESPN2]...
Mike Tyson's Full Day In Jail
We're not sure why, but we feel compelled to write about Mike Tyson today. You could pretty much write about Mike Tyson every day, or never write about him at all, and you'd still satisfy all sides....
All Hail The .500 Buzzsaw
If you'll allow us this quick run of self-indulgent postings, we can't quite get over the image of Peter King proclaiming that The Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals would make the playoffs. It was like watching someone speak in tongues on national television, albeit with more field hockey refere...
Ron Zook Continues To Piss Intensity
After Illinois' oddly easy win over Northwestern — to win the Sweet Sioux Tomahawk, whatever that is — on Saturday, the most amazing Illini season we can remember draws to a close. Which means, of course ... it's time for the Ron Zook Water Skiing Photo! The man pisses intensity....
Inside Digger's Acting Debut
You might remember us telling you Thursday about Digger Phelps' off-off-off-off-Broadway debut. Well, a Deadspin reader was in the audience Friday night, and files a full report....

The Mighty MJD's Smorgasbord runs every Monday. Do enjoy....
Money Well Spent On Saban
• Sometimes, the cheaper coach wins. [The Wizard Of Odds] • They're going to be selling beer for Kansas-Missouri game, which will be played at night. What could possibly go wrong? [Sports By Brooks] • More love for Norv Turner. [The Coach Is Killing Me] • A kicker tackles Devin Hester. [Enjoy The En...
Michigan Bids Adieu To Lloyd Carr
It's official: Several Michigan players went to visit Lloyd Carr in his cage on Sunday and it turns out that the only reason he had been standing up at all is that he had been nailed there. Yes, Carr is an ex-parrot. (And Brian Cook had it first, by the way, despite what "ESPN has learned.") Say wha...
