Farney Apparently Has An Email Account

The Bear Had No Use For Sideline Reporters
The more I watch this, the more I laugh. That's legendary Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, just barely stopping short of saying something like, "Look, you stupid bitch." Today's coaches (for the most part) are too publicly polite to embarrass a sideline reporter by pointing out the absurdity of the...

The Bodily Functions Of Bryant Gumbel
What better way to spend New Years than trying to figure out if it was really Bryant Gumbel that you heard belching during last night's Redskins/Giants game?

Kobe Displays His Beef
I know I promised you no more kicker cock, but I don't recall saying anything about nude NBA 2-guards. Mr. Smith mentioned it briefly yesterday, but I thought it deserved its own post. It's not every day you see Kobe Bryant naked, although that might happen more often that it should....

Ryan Leaf: Demoted, Promoted Or Just Sad?
If you were watching the Las Vegas Bowl between BYU and Oregon last night — and who wasn't? — you might have seen a sideline interview with none other than former Washington State Cougars star Ryan Leaf. (He is also known by some for his postcollegiate endeavors.) Leaf's brother is the quarterback a...

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Chris Berman Vs. Farney

But you never know: Someday a No. 16 WILL beat a No. 1. Probabl...

Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Fitted National League Cap
This story isn't totally new, but it's the first we've seen of it. And we have to warn you in advance that all sides here are quite possibly insane.
