Terrell Owens Loves His Quarterback, Not "Sheshawn" Johnson
T.O. would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few things. Yes, it sounded like he was complaining when he said that 18 throws and 2 running plays called in his honor was not enough involvement in the Dallas Cowboys game plan, but he seriously holds no ill will towards his coach, owner, offen...

Gators Now Answering To A Higher Power
Florida suffered its first loss of the season on Saturday, and Christ — who apparently had a few sheckles on the outcome — is not amused. So he distpatched Eric Brown, the 31-year-old minister at Gainesville's Campus Church of Christ, to keep Tim Tebow out of trouble for the next few weeks. Brown, a...
Black To The Future
This is the year of the coin flip. Just as Two-Face decided if you'd live or die by the flip of his lucky dollar in The Dark Knight, so did Major League Baseball in deciding where the AL Central play-in game would be held. U.S. Celluar, where the Twins were 2-7 this season? Or the Metrodome, where t...

AL Central Tie-Breaker: Twins vs. White Sox
The funny thing about tonight's game is that if either one of these teams had mustered up the intestinal fortitude to win just one more game against the Indians or freakin' Royals, we wouldn't be here tonight. (Sure, your middle infielders are real tough against the Tigers, but what about some real ...

Twins Fans Somewhat More Rabid Than Previously Thought
Earlier today I wondered aloud if there were any Twins fans out there in the Deadspinosphere, because let's face it, they've been kind of quiet lately. I was beginning to wonder if everyone in the Land 'o Lakes was busy with their stamp collections. But yeah, turns out Twins Nation is well represent...
Former Buxom Football Broadcaster Hilariously Steamed at Fair-Weathered Pats' Fans
As posted last week, former Fox NFL correspondent Lisa Guerrero started blogging (or diaristing) a sports-ish column for the LA Times' "Fabulous Forum" blog page. Guerrero, who's probably best known for being resident jiggly-wiggly during the creepy Tom Arnold years of "Best Damn Sports Show Period"...
This Column Is Desperate For A Bailout
Before we get started, a few words on America's financial crisis. (Because hey, who knows more about our economy than a sports blogger from Nowhere, Illinois?) I am going to apply my years of insight as reporter for Registered Rep. magazine, as well as my minutes upon minutes of CNBC viewing, to ex...
Who's Sorry Now? Josh Howard Edition
So far this has been quite the year for Josh Howard. Drag racing. Smokin' the reefer. And my favorite, disrespecting the National Anthem on YouTube. OK, who among is hasn't done all three? (I'm doing two of them right now). But for Howard, high-profile small forward for the Dallas Cubans, such trans...
White Sox. Twins. Tonight. For The Playoffs. Be There.
Introducing the only player in the majors whom we're sure isn't on steroids. Powered by Alexei Ramirez's sixth-inning grand slam and the encouraging signage of a large hunk of 1970s shag carpeting, the White Sox extended the American League regular season one more day with a 8-2 win over the Tigers....

Ozzie Guillen Lives to Curse Another Day
The White Sox picked a pretty good time to end their five game losing streak as they beat the Indians with a solid effort from starter Mark Buehrle. The win leaves the White Sox a half game behind the Twins who won themselves a ballgame in K.C. This gives the Sox a game tomorrow with the Detroit Tig...
