Work For The Knicks, In The Worst Capacity Imaginable
You know what would be a great job? Being the guy who has to clean up all of Isiah Thomas' messes, and then try to explain them away to a growling, surly New York media. That's exactly what we told our mom we wanted to be when we grew up....
What Will Happen at the Next Pants Party?
Aileen Gallagher is filling in as the Cultural Oddsmaker this week. Email her to let her know what you think....
China Is Concerned About Your Hips, Ladies
There's pretty much nothing the Chinese government is doing to prepare for the Olympics next year that isn't entertaining. Here's their next trick: Making sure the hostesses for all the events are freaking hot....
Carr Surely Has Lots To Contribute In This Friendship
We're still a little bewildered by the fact that Russell Crowe was on the sidelines for Michigan's win over Notre Dame on Saturday. We don't understand why he cares so much about American collegiate football, first off, but mostly ... this guy is really friends with Lloyd Carr?...
Introducing The Las Vegas Pants Party
We had a grand time at the Seattle Pants Party this weekend — and we once again thank 950-KJR in Seattle for setting so much up for us — but just because the baseball season is coming to an end doesn't mean that the Pants Parties are over. In fact: Vegas, people....
Off To Seattle We Go ...
In about two hours, we'll be hopping on a plane — JetBlue; we love the JetBlue — for the sunny peninsula of Seattle, Washington. (Note: Seattle is neither sunny nor a peninsula.) We've got quite a weekend schedule in Seattle, thanks largely to the fine folks at KJR 950, which has even set up the wo...
For the second straight day I've been faced with some technical difficulties. Yesterday it was the AIM screenname and today it's the Deadspin Tip line. I'm not sure what the problem is but I know that internet connectivity on Fire Island can be hit and miss. If you have an especially fantastic tip t...
More Pants Parties, But Remember To Pay Up
We had a grand time this past weekend at the Atlanta Pants Party this weekend, and watching Brandon Webb extend that scoreless innings streak was put a small part. And there are more coming, fellow humans....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch instead of that new Neil Simon play, Chapter 11 ... • MLB: Astros at Braves [TBS]; Giants at Dodgers. This may take a long while. Bring a pillow. [ESPN2] • Soccer: MLS, Kansas City at New England. Kevin Garnett to be allowed to shoot a penalty kick? [ESPN2] • Golf: Reno-Tahoe Open. Hey...
Everywhere You Look, Pants Parties
We had a grand time at the Philadelphia Pants Party this weekend; it was oddly less drunken than usual — might have been the crushing heat, or perhaps just the Mamula sandwiches — but as grand as we could have hoped. We are consistently amazed by how nice everyone is at all these; we've been to four...
It's Philly Pants Party Eve
A reminder to those coming along for the Philadelphia Pants Party tomorrow: Be ready for booze. (And dudes.)...
Not Tonight, Baby, I Want To Hit The Green In Regulation
From the Department of News I Could Have Used Months Ago, a recent survey conducted by Lexus says that four out of 10 golfers in the U.S. would give up sex for a month if it meant they would achieve the perfect golf swing. Why a car company is asking these kind of questions, I'm not sure....
Why Yes, You Can Interest Caron Butler In Some Cake And Ice Cream
Caron Butler's been to both ends of the birthday party spectrum in the last year. Of course, there was Gilbert Arenas's blow-out, complete with ice sculpture, Busta Rhymes, and the Arenas Express Card....
Sophia Loren Antes Up A Couple Of Years Late
We are no strangers here to certain women who promise to remove certain clothing items if other certain things happen in the world of sports. Anyone who followed the SHOTY competition knows exactly what we mean. We get our hopes up and what happens? Heartache, nothing but heartache!...
Come Celebrate Mo Vaughn's Birthday!
If you're hanging around the Meatpacking District of Manhattan tomorrow evening, we encourage you to drop by the 39th birthday extravaganza for former Red Sox and (gasp!) Met first baseman Mo Vaughn. (Oh, and the Angels: Don't forget, he ate up their clubhouse spread plenty too, and probably hit an ...
