Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together
Yep, that's right: Dennis Rodman was on "Quite Frankly With Stephen A. Smith" last night. This is like seeing L. Ron Hubbard and Tony Robbins in the same room together. Our mind is officially blown....
Alex Rodriguez Wins Even MORE Fans!
MLB.com just announced that Yankees third baseman/lipstick model Alex Rodriguez has won the American League MVP award. We salute A-Rod on this "victory."...
Rodman's Diligent Representation
Just to make sure we knew they weren't messing around when Dennis Rodman agent Darren Prince blasted us in hysterical fashion last week, the Rodman camp sent us another blistering missive over the weekend....
Introducing Darren Prince
This man you see here is not Hugo Weaving from The Matrix; he is, in fact, Darren Prince, agent for Dennis Rodman, whose book signing we popped by — and lamented — yesterday....
Deadspin Field Trip: Rodman's Book Signing
A media friend of ours emailed us yesterday and said, "Dennis Rodman's publicist just called me and promised he's going to pull a 'major' stunt at his book signing tomorrow." We couldn't imagine what Rodman could possibly do that could be classified as "major," save for, you know, sitting down and...
A-Rod ... After Dark!
Oddjack is all over the big story this morning: Yankees lipstick model Alex Rodriguez has been chided by Yankees officials for playing cards in those infamous New York City underground poker rooms everyone's always talking about. Supposedly A-Rod has been playing poker under the cover of darkness ...
A-Rod Battles Brutal "Asshole" Allegations
OK, everyone and their mother has been sending this to us this morning, so we might as well do something on it. Apparently, Yankees third baseman/lipstick model Alex Rodriguez made the mistake last week of dining at the same restaurant as a blogger (or a friend of a blogger, anyway)....
Viva Los Rodmanos!
From the What Could Possibly Go Wrong? file comes today's fun bit from the world of semi-professional basketball: Dennis Rodman is close to signing a contract with the ABA's Tijuana Dragons. Rodman is 44 years old but doesn't look a day over 13. Our love for the ABA is well-documented, and even thou...
Joe Torre, Masochist
One of our favorite games as a kid — and still, actually — was "Rock And A Hard Place." You remember the game: It involved making someone choose between two equally undesirable options. Would you rather kiss a donkey on the butt or look at a naked picture of your mom? You know, that sort of thing....
Wait, Aren't The YANKEES The Sign Of The Beast?
Excellent find from David Pinto at Baseball Musings (which we wholeheartedly endorse as THE site to read for great live updates and commentary during night playoff games; his post today comparing the Doug Eddings incident and computer pattern recognition is fantastic): Apparently an employee of To...
Married Latino Male, Financially Secure, Must Be Able To Handle Travel
A reader who uses Friendster — apparently there's a Friendster-Deadspin crossover; who knew? — sent us the attached picture of an advertisement for WebDate that popped up on his Friendster page. That's Alex Rodriguez's smiling face, used in the advertising....
A-Rod Takes His Swings
So far, we've revealed that Cubs 2B Todd Walker is a strip club hound and that Braves closer Kyle Farnsworth likes him some booze. For the final of the three On the DL items revealed this week, we unveil the biggest name yet. First, the item:...
The Perils Of Athletic Transgendering
Ever wonder what the rules are for transgender athletes? Well, we didn't either, but hey, it's a slow news day: Slate has a helpful primer on transgender golfers. (Hey, shush you: Phil Mickelson doesn't count.) Apparently, you have to wait two years after your reassignment to compete professionall...
Alex Rodriguez, American Hero
Years after a similarly themed — if ultimately failed — venture under the umbrella of The Sporting News, beloved Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is launching ARod.com today (welcome to the club, A-Rod!), joining Barry Bonds and Derek Jeter under the relative comfort of the MLB.com umbrella....
Shots Fired Outside Superdome
It's beginning to turn crazy and chaotic outside the Superdome; people are actually shooting at the rescue helicopters, which is totally counterproductive. They're trying to get the refugees out of there so they can ship them to the Reliant Astrodome — to remind you, Reliant sponsors a dead dome —...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while chasing ghosts with your three friends and a large Great Dane ... • MLB: A's win seventh straight, set stage for disappointing their fans once again in playoffs. • Roddick ousted in U.S. Open despite good looks. • WNBA Playoffs: Indiana Fever beat New York Liberty. Honestly, we...
The Metrodome Gestapo
People have always hated The Minneapolis Metrodome, and now they have a new reason: It's a Nazi building. So says somebody/something called "Tim's TV," which claims at his/its site, "The Swastika Dome," that the Metrodome has a swastika designed in its roof. Just because we've just discovered thi...
Get Thee Away, A-Rod!
While totally not being the subject of tons of rumors right now — absolutely not, how could you say that? — Yankees bitch-slapper Alex Rodriguez was turned away from snotty NYC hotspot Club Macanudo because he was wearing a T-shirt and jeans. He should have been wearing a skirt. Actually, are we ...
Words Fail Us
Rodman To Participate In World "Wife-Carrying" Championships In Finland [Fox Sports]...
The Sad Tale Of Alex Rodriguez
Fun story in the New York Daily News today. At a benefit for a mental health clinic in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, Alex Rodriguez admitted that he receives therapy to deal with his "issues." He told TV's "Extra" that "therapy is an incredible thing and you might get to know ...
