There's no sugarcoating it for you... other than the NFL, there is nothing appealing on the sports landscape for you today. You might be able to find some ice dancing or some exhibition golf, but... I don't know that that's enough to justify putting a viewing schedule for you here today. Instead, ...

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Carl Monday Vs. Barbaro
And here we are, the matchup we are personally most curious about, the one featuring the infamous Carl Monday and good ole Barbaro, who would be a late charger if only his hoof would grow. We have been looking forward to this one since this got started....

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Chris Berman Vs. Harold Reynolds
All right, here we are: It's time for the Final Four. We have our ESPN side of the bracket, and then our Masturbator Locator Vs. Horse side of the bracket. All four candidates are worthy. It's time for some tough decisions, people....

Last Call For All SHOTY Voting
Tomorrow, the finals of the Sportshuman Of The Year tournament begin, and there's still some rather tight matchups. The semifinals themselves will run throughout the holiday season, and we'll continue with the finals on January 4, when we come back from vacation (which we'll also get into later this...

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Barbaro Vs. Ben Roethlisberger
We're to our final quarterfinal matchup, with the semis taking place next week in a torrent of voting mania. (Or something.) We encourage you all to vote on the extremely tight Mariotti-Reynolds matchup. First, a reminder of the bracket....

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Jay Mariotti Vs. Harold Reynolds
We return to the SHOTY Tournament, with the final two quarterfinal matchups, today and Thursday. Of all the Elite Eight matchups, we think this might end up the closest. (The first two have been runaways, though you can still vote.) First, a reminder of the bracket....

Tift County High Laughs At Your Super Bowl Shuffle
Tift County High not only has a football team of which they can be proud, but their music department is working overtime, too. Lil' Trill (also sometimes known as Josh Jordan) and DJ Freez are responsible for this beauty, and I think we should go ahead and declare this the greatest high school spor...

I don't know about you, but I'm finding it very difficult to start the day with something other than a joke about Lee Corso's pubic region......

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Carl Monday Vs. Stephen A. Smith
All right: Time for the next step in the Elite Eight. This thing is gonna fly by now, by the way; the final two Elite Eight matchups will be next week, and then it's Final Four time, and then, jeez, then this whole virtual construction is completed. To remind you, here's the bracket (Berman's got a ...

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Chris Berman Vs. Matt Leinart
At last: The first round is over, and we have our eight winners. For all the talk of potential upsets and the supposed mis-seeding of certain competitors, there was only one first round "upset": Stephen A. Smith took down Ozzie Guillen, and that was a shaky seed in the first place....

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Barbaro Vs. Lamar Thomas
All right, we know this is supposed to just run Tuesdays and Thursdays, but we decided that we were too eager to finally get this first round overwith so we can start the second round tomorrow. (SI's curious pick of Mr. Wade made us decide to speed up the process a bit.) So, this is the final first ...

Ah, what the hell ... there's more than enough college football on today to squeeze one more weekend of joy out of the Hugh Johnson Project. There are championship games, there's USC/UCLA, there's the Army/Navy game that everyone seems to love so much (I think the uniforms will be different than t...

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Ozzie Guillen Vs. Stephen A. Smith
Just two more first-round matchups left until the Elite Eight, and we've got a potential barnburner here today. (Does anyone other than Musberger use "barnburner" anymore? We like the term.)...

For Saving My Llama, Here's Some National Coverage, Doc
You probably don't know Dr. Dean Richardson, because why would you? You're a sports fan, and he's a veterinarian. No reason he could possibly come across your radar....

Vancouver Ready To Welcome More Weird-Ass Olympic Events
We had a crazy dream last night. The IOC was making up Winter Olympic sports, and approving them in their meeting in Kuwait City. Yeah we know, off the wall. But ... huh? You're kidding. Skicross?...
