The Future Of Baseball, As Told By Japanese Programmers
Today's TV has some quality games, plus a little bit for everyone. Some hockey, basketball, NASCAR ... but no baseball. So if you need your baseball fix, why not try Super Baseball 2020 for the Genesis or Super Nintendo, where there's no such thing as foul territory beyond the first and third bases....
You've Picked Up A Mauve TV Guide
Somehow, we were able to escape the February Of Sadness, but this first week of March doesn't seem to yield much excitement beyond the Grapefruit League and the Atlantic Sun basketball tournament. With that in mind, today's video game you oughta play is the obscure Dragon Crystal for the Sega Game G...
Would You Hire This Man To Sell Your Underwear?
So word is that Calvin Klein is driving hard to the basket, trying to lure Tom Brady as their underwear model/spokesman. For seven figures. Wow. Do I want to live in a world where Tom Brady makes more for underwear modeling than Heidi Klum?...
Spending a Night With Oscar
The Academy Awards might not have anything to do with sports, but they give me an excuse to run this picture from Sports Wrap. Plus, there's going to be plenty of Jon Stewart, cleavage, and gambling opportunities, all things a lot of us enjoy. Follow after the jump for my bets and my pick for best c...
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition: The Lost Photographs
For all of you aspiring Sports Illustrated swimsuit model photographers out there (or, if you're just cold and/or horny), here's a behind-the-scenes look at several of the photo shoots for the magazine's 2008 swimsuit edition. Busted Coverage found the stash of photos on Flickr, via someone obviousl...
About Last Night
What you missed while releasing Hurley from the closet ... • College basketball: ASU topples No. 7 Stanford in OT. You may now proudly display your Jeff Pendergraph Fathead. • NBA: Suns beat Mavericks 109-97, to the delight of no one who thought they were going to see Jason Kidd vs. Shaquille O'Neal...
In Which The SI Swimsuit Edition Struggles (Again) To Stay Relevant
The 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is out, folks; gaze upon its wonders. And in other news, there's still a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. What year is this again? Aren't naked women on the Internet now? At any rate, our aquatic, clothing-challenged model is Marissa Miller, making he...
Whither Sports Unfiltered With Dennis Miller?
There's nothing sadder than a big blank space where your cable show's programming schedule used to be. Exactly what fate has befallen Sports Unfiltered with Dennis Miller, the Versus series that made America fall in love with elephant polo references once again? It's a mystery (for some reason, Vers...
Suddenly My High School Years Look Sad And Lackluster
OK, the intern staff here at Deadspin labored for hours trying to find a sports connection to this story, and came up empty (all have been fired). Nonetheless, here is is, because it contains perhaps the greatest sentence ever seen in a news item in the English language. There is more hilarity eac...
More People Love The NHL Than The NBA
Because of the election madness going on — and we will say that matters are setting up well for Sen. Obama — we have spend an inordinate amount of time watching polls. So it's natural that we'd drift toward a sports one. It's moderately interesting: Turns out, according to Harris Interactive, more p...
How To Stay "Busy" Until 6:17 p.m.
If you open your window and spit, you'll likely hit a channel with some kind of Super Bowl pregame show. But if you have Final Fantasy Legend III for the original GameBoy lying around, for the love of God don't spit on it, because that's my recommended retro game for the day....
Tell Mike To Dip My TV Listings In Water
It's college basketball and college basketball alone day on TV. So if you can't stand hoops without an intricate bracket in hand, your required retro video game playing for the day is NES's StarTropics. It's not quite Legend of Zelda, but ... well, it's not quite Legend of Zelda....
Ideas For A More Enjoyable Super Bowl Week
Rarely do commenters on other sites even come close to the wit and wisdom of our own Deadspin Army of Darkness (sorry if that sounds like sucking up, but independent studies have proven this to be true). Occasionally, though, one catches my eye with a tape measure home run. Such was the case yesterd...
To Watch Tonight
What to watch on the last night before you cancel your cable for two weeks ... • College basketball: Syracuse at Georgetown (7 p.m., ET); Texas at Oklahoma State (9 p.m., ET); San Francisco at Gonzaga (midnight, ET). Eddie Sutton closes in on 800 victories (he's coaching USF, in case you hadn't hear...
One Man's TV Nightmare Is Another's Comedy Gold
Of course, when you're struggling like this, it's always helpful to have a couple of smart-ass girls in the studio mocking you relentlessly....
The NFL Playoffs Should Do, But Just In Case...
Truth be told, yesterday's playoff games had some exciting moments, but all of them occurred in the first halves. If these two games today continue that trend, we might be searching for something else to occupy our Sundays. Your other option is to play ActRaiser for the Super Nintendo....
Biding Time Until Tonight's NFL Playoffs
Considering the NFL playoffs don't begin until 4:30 and you can't sleep in until 4 on Saturdays anymore (ah, freshman year), the afternoon consists of very little beyond college basketball. So my retro video game recommendation today is Kid Chamelon for the Sega Genesis. Back then it was very meta t...
Your SHOTY Winner: Isiah Thomas
We would like to congratulate Isiah Thomas on his ascendence to the lofty perch of 2007 Deadspin Sportshuman Of The Year....
What Happens In SportRobe, Stays in SportRobe
Attention bloggers: There's now no reason to ever again wear pants. The SportRobe is here! (No truth to the rumors that the Orioles are using these as their actual home uniforms). Several models available; and we suppose that Marbury is wearing his pretty much constantly. And Seaver, of course, rout...
