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?...
Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Jay Mariotti Vs. Darren Daulton
After nearly a week off, the Deadspin SHOTY Tournament kicks back up today — just three more first-round matchups left — with a guy who seemingly shows up every week around these parts, if just to make himself more famous, against a former Philadelphia hero who has only made Deadspin once, but in a ...
This Is Why You Should Wait Before Wetting Your Britches
The fine gentlemen at Kissing Suzy Kolber call this their favorite highlight ever, and I think it's worthy of the praise. It somehow combines the elements of great sports drama and extreme schadenfreude, all while providing a subtle social commentary on the importance placed on Texas high school foo...

The Hugh Johnson Project storms back for what might be the last weekend of the season, certainly one of the last. Instant Message your college football thoughts (Division 1-A or otherwise), observations, and wise-ass remarks to DeadspinFootball on the AOL Instant Messenger. I apologize if I can't ge...
Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Chris Berman Vs. Farney
All right, after some wild voting irregularities yesterday — remember: The Deadspin way is not to raise too much issue with people cheering on their favorites in a poll on a silly blog — we have what we'd think would be a blowout today. But you never know: Someday a No. 16 WILL beat a No. 1. Probabl...
Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Harold Reynolds Vs. Ned
Ordinarily, the SHOTY tournament will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but this week, with that whole Thanksgiving business, we're going Monday-Tuesday this week. We hope your system can handle the shock....

The Hugh Johnson Project is going ball deep into Ohio State/Michigan, just like every other person, place, or thing on the planet... but we're not forgetting the other games, either.

Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Carl Monday Vs. Ricky Manning Jr.
We're off to the next first-round matchup, and this one seems likely to be more of a blowout than the potential upset brewing in the Roethlisberger-Mikulik matchup. (Polls are open, by the way, until all first round matchups are completed.)...
Deadspin SHOTY Tournament: Ben Roethlisberger Vs. Joe Mikulik
All right, after what appears to be an easy victory for Matt Leinart last week, fellow losing-team quarterback Ben Roethlisberger enters the fray this week in the Deadspin Sportshuman Of The Year Tournament. (We're calling it "SHOTY.") He takes on famous freakout minor league manager Joe Mikulik in ...
Wedgies Vs. Crack
Too few headlines feature the word "wedgie," and I thank Whittier Vocational Technical High School and the school administrators for helping to rectify that. A few players on the the football team are accused of giving wedgies to younger team members. And since that violates the school's hazing po...
