We Keep Our Wanka Kits In The Nightstand Drawer
Good news for those of you who haven't been able to track down a replica jersey of the Jacksonville Jerkoffs of the old ABA: the hot new jersey in the U.K. is that of Peruvian soccer club D. Wanka:...

Nation Of Islam Sportsblog Is No Longer Highly Respected
I've kept mum on all of the Deadspin Hall of Fame races thus far (remember, voting ends tomorrow afternoon), and this late into the game there are still some races up for grabs. A.J. Daulerio's Super Bowl weekend is still well below the pace for enshrinement, but if he thought events from this past ...

Dance, Marshall Fella, Dance
Last night, in Huntington, W.Va., the Marshall football team hosted a Women's Clinic, meant, apparently, to explain to feeble minded babymakers the basic concepts of football so that they will understand when to leave the room, when to leave the house and when to just bring more beer. It's not easy...
Peter King's Onion Doppleganger
It's almost NFL season, which means we're all about to experience a solid five months of Peter King. This is fine; King knows more about football than almost everyone we know. But be prepared: MMQB is about to take up residence in your brain and lay eggs....
How FJM Ended Up In SI
If you're one of those people left who regularly reads Sports Illustrated, you might have noticed an unusual byline in the "Scorecard" section this week: Ken Tremendous. That's a fake name, representing an anonymous blog. One of the best, actually: The great Fire Joe Morgan. How did this happen?...
Scoop Jackson And NOIS Meet
Sometimes, when two great minds converge, it can be blinding, like a supernova that outshines its entire host galaxy before fading from view over several weeks or months, or like when they crossed the streams in Ghostbusters....

Hey Kids! Jay Mohr Is Back!
Unsilent mentioned this briefly over the weekend, but in case you missed it; Jay Mohr is back with his weekly column, and just in time for football season!

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...
"Interiors Kicks Radio Days' Ass!"
Forgive us, since this post is entirely self-indulgent and has absolutely nothing to do with sports, but when two inmates get in a fight over Woody Allen, well, we just couldn't sleep at night if we didn't write about it....
When Fabricated Quotes Are Taken Out Of Context
Yesterday, I mentioned in the Blogdome about how a sports talk radio show made a crucial mistake none of us seasoned sports blog readers ever do: take an Every Day Should Be Saturday post seriously. Continuing this trend, Sports Illustrated appeared to have taken a satirical riff on the NBA Draft di...
