Keep The Micks Out Of San Diego!
If you're a New England Patriots fan — because Lord knows we need more of those — and you want tickets to the AFC Divisional game in San Diego on Sunday, you're out of luck: The Chargers are restricting online ticket purchases to those from Southern California. Their exact policy: "The San Diego Cha...
Should Belichick Be Punished For His Limp Shove?
As far as we can tell, Michael David Smith of The Fanhouse was the first to make an issue out of this — we even laughed it off ourselves — but a couple days later, more people are asking: Shouldn't we be a little more pissed at Patriots coach bill Belichick for just shoving that cameraman out of the...
Many People Taking Photos Of Two Men Hugging
We find it difficult to become too worked up about coaching rivalries. It reminds us of Neal Pollack's excellent Slate piece about the "cult of the general manager;" all told, if there's a genuine blood feud going on, we'd prefer it to involve people who actually play. They can hit each other, after...
Jets vs. Patriots: 4th Quarter
- We're about to start the 4th with the Jets down 10. It could still happen for them, but they need to get something going quickly. Come on, Chad, let's make this one close....
Jets vs. Patriots: 3rd Quarter
- The third quarter's just gotten underway. Shawne Merriman was interviewed by satellite at halftime, and he was either wearing a tank top, a unitard, or a pair of suspenders with no shirt. It's an unusual look, and not one that many people can pull off. Shawne Merriman included....
Jets vs. Patriots: 2nd Quarter
- 7-3 Patriots here... and I'm enjoying the Jim Mora Coors Light commercial for about the sixth time this weekend. This one's not getting old. Jim Mora is the anti-Mellencamp....
Jets vs. Patriots: 1st Quarter
- Hello... welcome back to another day of hot, nasty, NFL action. The Jets and Colts are a few minutes from kicking off. I don't know if I'm going to watch, though. Sundays are for bowling....
USC Kicker Mario Danelo Found Dead
I hate to interrupt the festive mood of the Romo/Glenn meltdown, but there's tragic news in the world of college football tonight. Mario Danelo, kicker for the Rose Bowl champion USC Trojans, has been found dead....
Playoff Pants Party: Eagles Vs. Giants
Seriously, it has to be frustrating. The Eagles make their mad dash to win the division and grab the third playoff seed ... and they still have to play the goddamned Giants in the first round....

Playoff Pants Party: Patriots Vs. Jets
To think about this game, we like to compare not Eric Mangini and Bill Belichick, but, in fact, Mangini and Tom Brady. We think there might not be too physically different human beings on the planet. One of these days, Mangini should just eliminate the middleman and coach in a mumu....
Good Morning: And Did You Rush to the Phone to Call?
Morning again, Spinheads. Let's start off our last few hours together by acknowledging some of the things I missed yesterday from the Department of Batshittery — only because I was too preoccupied with Song Girl pooper:...
Good Morning: Hold Everything You Love...Deadspin Returns to the Super Bowl
Greetings, Spinheads. Today's our final day together, and before we break out the huffing supplies and begin a rousing game of alligator fuckhouse, I have a quick announcement: I'd like to let all parties in the Miami area know that I've once again been permitted to display my on-the-scene reporting...

Good Morning: Put the Lotion in the Baskett
Hello again. So, sorry for the depressing update yesterday. New Year's Day is an official "holiday" for Deadspin, but I felt like the Darrent Williams thing shoud've been something that was posted about to facilitate discussion to those of you not stuck at home with roaring case of post-New Year's...

Good Morning: Do Not Underestimate This Gay Mexican
Mornin', Spinheads, A.J. Daulerio reporting for duty. I'll admit, I'm still a little hobbled from holiday excess: the nog drinking, the oversleeping, the Eagles euphoria, the late nights spent watching Tivo'd episodes of Rob and Big, and especially from the seven fish dinner on Christmas Eve at my A...
