How Hillary Is Like Grandmama
There's another one of those presidential debates tonight — this one's the Democrats, their 592th — and as that race starts to veer toward the more interesting, MSNBC brings up a fun parallel: The candidates are just like early '90s basketball teams....

So There's This Big Soccer Game Today, I'm Told
Okay. Take a look to the east. See the sun rising? Okay, look at the little blotch of land right below it. Don't see it? Here, use my binoculars. Hmm... you still don't see it? Okay, well look at this Mercator projection map. Right there. England. Located somewhere in that country, probably in that ...

For Giants Fans, Crazy Is As Crazy Does
Sure the Red Sox have a bit of momentum going, and it looks like they're going to cruise to their second World Series title. That's because Colorado Rockies fans are relatively new at this. They don't understand that, when things aren't going your way, it's never too early to call in a bomb threat....

A Peek Inside Mike Holmgren's Genius

Victims Of Spin Rage: The Forgotten Minority
We revist yesterday's spin rage post for the simple reason that we now have a photo of Mr. Stuart Sugarman, the man who was unceremoniously thrown into a wall — along with his stationary bike — for refusing to stop grunting during his workout in a Manhattan gym. At first I was sympathetic to his pre...

Rage Against The Machine
This happened a while ago, but hey, whaddya gonna do? Stationary bikes, meant to bring mankind together through the shared experience of pointless effort, have instead become instruments of violence and wanton destruction. Let the record show that the first recorded incident of "spin rage" occurred ...

Exclusive New England Patriots Spy Video
Yeah, I know. I'm supposed to leave Bill Belichick alone. ("He's a human being!") But I couldn't resist posting this exclusive video footage that shows just how those sneaky Pats managed to cheat against the Jets. I mean, Madden? Who would've thunk it?...

Sunday Game Update Bukkake
Apparently the Patriots are good (but we still hate them). Randy Moss hauls in nine for 183 yards and all the white Patriots fans can glory because Wes Welker got in the endzone as well. Did Belichick shake Mangini's hand? Do I care? Well, actually — no, I mean, no....

Kill Kill Kill Comes to Deadspin
Of course they had to go and suspend the righteous mallard for next week's home game against Fresno State. Damn, I really would have liked to see the duck in action against Lloyd Carr....

Imagine Being The Guy In The Plunger Costume
In lieu of some sound effects humor over at EDSBS, we present you with a rather gorgeous example of spot photography....

Former OSU President Glad To Be Out Of That Sodom
We've made a lot of jokes about Ohio State here — most of them have been made for us — but we've never considered their fans rampaging monsters bent on destruction. Of course, we've never been president of the university....

[Insert Header Here] (Get it? "Header!" It's a Soccer Joke!)
Surely you've been waiting with bated breath to find out what Marco Materazzi said to Zinedine Zidane that would provoke the shiny-pated Zidane to headbutt the shit out of him during the World Cup last year. (Who hasn't?) In his soon-to-be-released autobiography, Materazzi reveals the now-infamous l...


Who's The Next Punter To Attempt To Kill Off His Competition?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....

Erin Andrews, Atlanta Tapas Lover
We don't mean to harp on the sideline reporter thing today, but we feel obliged to point out: If you're around the Atlanta area, and want to know where all the cool kids are hanging out, Erin Andrews has your back....

Italics Are Awesome
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....
