Exclusive New England Patriots Spy Video
Yeah, I know. I'm supposed to leave Bill Belichick alone. ("He's a human being!") But I couldn't resist posting this exclusive video footage that shows just how those sneaky Pats managed to cheat against the Jets. I mean, Madden? Who would've thunk it?...

I'd love a piece of corn, thanks. [ABC] • UFC: The Ultimate Fighter, fifth-season finale. Some scary dude faces some other scary d...
Maj's Parlay O' The Week
Amateur athletics and gambling go together like campfires and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Which is why I asked the Selleck to my Guttenberg, Unsilent Majority, to share some more of his valuable college football gambling wisdom with us today. Dumb disclaimer: the following "wisdom" could be wrong. The...
I know very little about college football. BCS, Big 12, Dan Shanoff is Tim Tebow. Huh? What? Gabe must be so confused. So help a blogger out today, and send your funny, insightful and expletive-laced comments to the AIM screen name, NCAA Deadspin. My "control," "C" and "V" keys thank you in advance....
Pam Ward Is Not Listening To Her Producer

You Should See His ... Well, You Know
Cricket is a man's sport. You don't tend the wickets without paying the price, as Engalnd's Dave Morrison shows here in that bastion of journalism integrity and excellence, The Sun. Actually I know nothing of cricket, or the British health care system, but one thing I do know: Dave gives the best e...
Does Anyone On Earth Own A Fathead?
We ask with genuine curiosity: Who in the world puts a Fathead on their wall? What started out as an odd marketing campaign with Ben Roethlisberger screaming at us to "get a Fathead," or "be a Fathead," or whatever, has clearly grown into ... well, a larger marketing campaign. We've never quite seen...

Do Not Even THINK About An NFL Player Dogfighting
Our pal AJ Daulerio, reporting for Philadelphia magazine, heard a rumor about a potential dogfighting case involving members of the hometown Eagles.
