She's Back! And Just In Time. Bluebirds, Cardinals. Affirmed.
Is it any wonder that Barbaro's latest recovery seems to coincide with the return of Dee Mirich to the Barbaro message board? Things looked bleak recently for Big Boss Horse until, yesterday, this message appeared from the heavens....
Deadspin's Heading To Miami And Looking For Direction
As we've mentioned before, AJ Daulerio — whom we hear is the balls — will, for the second consecutive year, be covering the Super Bowl for us, and we couldn't be more excited. (We're not going ourselves; we don't handle sunlight well.) The guy's got an expense account, a laptop and a penchant for ge...
More Reasons To Avoid Super Bowl Commercials

And The Barbaro Message Boarders Got Mad At US!
As much fun as we had had with the Barbaro Message Board denizens, we have never directly called for Barbaro's death. Perhaps if there were some sort of global famine — maybe if the world were attacked by zombies or something — we would need, for survival's sake, to carve up Barbaro's hindquarters a...

Where Is Dee Mirich Now That We Need Her Most??
We think we know why Barbaro has suddenly taken a turn for the worse.

They ...

All right, well, after nearly two months of voting, we finally have a winner of the 2006 Sportshuman Of The Year tournament ... and, alas, it is not a human....
SHOTY Final: Chris Berman Vs. Barbaro
Well, while we were gone, the late rush of Barbaro votes came in, and he edged out Carl Monday right after the new year, sending him into the final with, of course, Chris Berman, who has yet to be challenged. We suspect he's in for one now....

Take Me Home, Country Load
There isn't a lede in the world that could possibly do this Georgia Tech fan's Gator Bowl experience any justice, so I'll just go right to the recap:...
Sugar Bowl: Talk Amongst Yourselves
In case you've forgotten, the Nokia Sugar Bowl is this evening as Charlie Weis and his group of underachieving Irishmen take on those ESPN fictional national champions, the LSU Tigers. Notre Dame is getting 8.5 points tonight and I've got a funny feeling that's a number that you must pounce on. (F...
Giants v. Eagles: Indulge Me
Once again Philadelphia and New York's respective media communities are doing their best spur the rivalry between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants before their Wild Card game on Sunday.

Good Morning: Hold Everything You Love...Deadspin Returns to the Super Bowl
Greetings, Spinheads.

So, What Was Javon Walker's Involvement?
Curious stories about the Darrent Williams tragedy seem to be popping up every hour, most of them surrounding wideout Javon Walker's whereabouts. Was he in the limo? Did Williams die in his arms? Did he show up to the Broncos facility with blood on his shirt as ESPN.com reported?...

Barbaro's Swan Song
We've all had a lot of fun with the Barbaro phenomenon, sure. But a long time ago we made this solemn vow: Once we came upon a tribute video which consisted of nothing but Barbaro bath photos, set to the music of Bobby Darin's Splish Splash, then that would be the end of it. We would not ... could n...
Christmas Greetings For Barbaro
If you check out the Barbaro message board right now, you get the following shocking message:...
Barbaro: Simply The Best!
We can't think of a better way to put a bow on all our Barbaro fun this year than with this video, which was almost certainly made by someone who frequents a certain message board we all love and envy, in our garbage-on-the-Internet type of way....
