Romany Malco Homosexualizes Himself For The Greater Good Of The NHL
Romany Malco, better known as the black guy from "The 40 Year Old Virgin", is apparently an ardent hockey fan and what a more appropriate way to show off his hockey geekdom than by talking with Deadspin's former puckheaded savant Greg Wyshynski.

Philadelphia's Continuing Misguided Hatred Of J.D. Drew
J.D. Drew's play on the field this past week did nothing to keep Philadelphians from mercilessly, lustily booing him the last couple days, but even if he went 0-for-20 and caught a baby falling from the stands at Citizens Bank Park, he'd still hear it, just 'cuz. Drew, as you may recall, became a ...

Offend Lance Armstrong, And Face The Consequences
The hatred so many people in the cycling world have for Lance Armstrong once seemed a little bewildering to us outsiders. The guy beat cancer!

Justin Gimelstob: Tennis Shlub, Sound Bite Provocateur
