Fenway Concessions Now Serving Flaming Moes
The Simpsons Movie is but a few scant hours away, and I must confess that I'm a little excited. And the Boston Globe is celebrating in its own way, employing that wonderful online utility, Simpsonize Me, to render several Red Sox players as they would look if they lived in Springfield and hung out w...
Time To Agonize Over Your Fantasy Team Name
We are officially ready to start thinking about fantasy football, we think. As always, we're in too many leagues for us to keep track of, particularly because we consistently make the mistake of naming all our teams the same thing: Mattoon Green Wave. This is not only uncreative, but also incredibly...
Ikea Loveseats Are Bulky And Difficult To Move
I was perusing Sports by Brooks late last night, as is my wont, and came across this item: "The NEW YORK TIMES reports EA Sports will provide new President Peter Moore with "relocation-related expenses" from Redmond, Washington, to Redwood City, California. The move will cost the company $330,000. M...
Charlie Weis, Unsuccessful In Obese Litigation
Say what you will about Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis, but you can't say he isn't constantly charging forward. Whether it's recruiting, attacking a Cover 2 or, you know, gastric bypass surgery, the guy makes up his mind and just GOES FOR IT, MAN. Suck Off The Fat Like A Champion. Unfortunately, such...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as your house elf cooks a steak and kidney pie ... • MLB: Boston at Cleveland. Cleveland Rocks, so I'm told. [ESPN2] • Atlanta at San Francisco. Yeah, Bobby Cox will be thrilled to give up No. 756. [ESPN2] • Cycling: Tour de France, Stage 15, Foix to Loudenville-Le Louron, France. So w...
This Donaghy Situation Is Not Likely To Improve
Some may believe this scandal isn't as large as it seems, but we have to disagree. Donaghy, who's scheduled to give himself up to the feds as early as today or tomorrow, might very well spill the beans about some other scandals, and if this thing explodes any farther, well, the whole league could be...
Tim "Douche" Donaghy Did It and I Called It
The now ex-NBA referee has had a really shitty week, and deservedly so. Just as I predicted Donaghy was identified as the target of the FBI's gambling investigation. While part of me feels for a guy who obviously suffers from a gambling addiction the rest of me is fucking ecstatic. The reason I kept...
Michael Vick Got Served, Protested Against
Everybody seems to be pretty peeved with Mr. Vick...even PETA! Those plucky characters spent yesterday afternoon picketing outside NFL headquarters. Of course Roger Goodell wasn't actually there to see it, he was safe from their mutton chopped intimidators in his subterranean bunker....

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself, My Name Is MAJ
Ahoy hoy! I am the Unsilent Majority and I'll be running shit around here as part of a three-way rotation of weekend editors. I have to say that I'm absolutely thrilled to be here. After all, my blogging career began deep within the bowels of the Deadspin comment section way back when you had to giv...
Simmons Meets Isiah And ... That's It?
Taking a break from his Big Mysterious NBA Book Project, The Sports Feller files his magazine column today and includes a bit of a bombshell: He had a half-hour conversation with Isiah Thomas while in Vegas....
Well, Expect The Quality Of Hoops In Italy To Decrease Dramatically
Knicks fans, you're in luck! You've been waiting for someone to ship Stephon Marbury's ass to some other country for years now, and it looks like he's gonna go ahead and do it himself. You're gonna have to wait a couple of years, though....
The Red Sox Sewing Circle Now Officially Includes Simmons
We don't quite understand all the weird little in-jokes and politics of Boston Red Sox baseball, and, for this, we find ourselves rather fortunate. So maybe a Sox fan can translate this for us, because, apparently, NESN broadcaster Jerry Remy ripped into The Sports Feller on the Boston broadcast las...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while eating 15 million ice-cream treats ... • MLB: Sheff hits an "all the way black" granny in Tigers' 6-3 win. • Cycling: Belgian Tom Boonen takes Tour's 6th stage on a BMX bike. • CFL: Bombers lose to Inuit; Stegall still stuck on history....
If This Isn't A Sport, What Is?
What's a sport? We think competitive eating is a sport, and if you want to play around, we suppose rock paper scissors is a sport too. But how far can you push it? Claynation's Clay Travis makes the argument that counting is the new hot pseudo sport....
