Some Thirsty Folks In Central Florida
A key for fans at any college football game is to stay properly hydrated. It's not like they sell beer there or anything, which means you have to sneak in a flask, and when you're drinking that much absinthe, you're gonna need some water. Unfortunately, the new Central Florida stadium forgot about t...
Tirico Plus Stephen A. Equals Dan Patrick
Like a lot of you, we were secretly rooting for Scott Van Pelt to end up with the ESPN Radio gig to replace Dan Patrick. Even though Van Pelt has had some questionable choices of guests during his occasional fill-ins, the guy's funny and affable enough on the radio, and anybody who quotes "Flight Of...
The NFL Should Combat All Those Who Hurt Its Image
In an age of unprecedented NFL scandals, and player being suspended every which way for conduct detrimental to the league, "satire" blog Pray For Mojo brings up something that's ridiculous, yet just based in truth enough to seem a little scary: Suspensions for Tom Brady and Matt Leinart for having c...
OK, That's It, You're Grounded
Jason Krause is a nice kid who should be home watching The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, not speculating on the Lions' chances of winning 10 games this season. My favorite part is when he says of Roy Williams: "You want to hear something freakish, Roy? Look at your record; the Lions haven't had a win...

Deadspin HOF Nominee: Brady Quinn
The art of photography is a delicate, complicated one. You must possess an eye for composition and complexity, yes, but you also must hope your subject — whatever he, she or it is — can be capturing in a moment that reveals something, not just about his / she / its nature, but also humanity as a who...
You Can't Tell, But Howie Long Is Erect
If we know our average Deadspin reader, you were obviously watching "Fox & Friends" on the Fox News Channel this morning. But just in case ... Richard Simmons was hanging out with the FOX NFL Sunday crew. Finally, someone who makes Jimmy Johnson look well dressed, and Terry Bradshaw look less gay. ...

You Threadjackin' It?
To keep the comments as fresh and outstanding as they've been up to this point, we've commissioned Commenting Guru Rob Iracane to write a bi-weekly Comment Ombudsman column. It runs every other week. This is that week....
A Big Trading Day, And In Baseball Too
It is perhaps baseball's misfortune to, on the one day a year everyone looks for baseball trades, have its thunder stolen by an NBA trade, but then again, no one's been waiting six years to see where Joel Pineiro would finally be traded....
The End Of July Ain't What It Used To Be
As much as we might try, we can't muster up much enthusiasm for the trading deadline this year, which is in week. No matter scenarios they give us, we just don't believe anyone too huge will end up switching teams. The days of the Mark McGwire, Mike Piazza trades seem over. (Not that we ever conside...
