Man lived in The Vet, somehow didn’t die of leprosy, was maybe good luck charm for Phillies and Eagles
Tom Garvey’s story, captured in his autobiography that has made the headlines in the past couple days, should make for some wild, inconceivable reading.

Tom Izzo, Michigan State cross advertising rubicon in a banner week for the NCAA
In the same week that the NCAA disclosed that they don’t really have a plan if anything goes sideways at their Indiana NCAA Tournament, and Les Miles and Jeff Long showed what kind of people are really in charge, Michigan State may have taken the cake. That is, if the cake were sponsored by Betty Cr...
Deadspin Wayback Machine: A look back at some of sports’ great relics
One of the great things about sports is the comfort that they provide. While the world is always changing, sometimes at a pace that’s hard to process, sports are largely static.

Brett Gardner isn’t a Yankee right now and it makes zero sense
Brett Gardner was the Yankees’ third-round pick in the 2005 draft, debuted in pinstripes in 2008, and has been in the Bronx ever since. He’s the last remaining player with the Yankees from their last championship team in 2009… except that right now, even he’s not remaining....

Shouldn’t all publicly-funded stadiums become mass vaccination sites?
The vaccine rollout hasn’t exactly happened at warp speed. So far, nearly 9 million Americans have received a first dose of the COVID shot. If we want to move faster, we may need super-centers and round-the-clock immunizations to accommodate the hundreds of millions of Americans still waiting to be ...
Florida government declares college football more important than COVID vaccine

Deadspin Fixes Stuff: Two new expansion teams could solve MLB’s cash 'problems' right now
With MLB now in the overture of its musical, entitled “Winter of Discontent,” they’re still making it clear just how desperate they want people to think things are.
