Live Playoff Blog: Yankees Vs. Tigers, Game 2
Seriously, we can't imagine a worse rainout scenario for fans than this one: Rather than a late-night Wednesday game, you have a Thursday game at 1 p.m. Imagine being at the game last night, at 9:30, thinking it might start, then learning they've cancelled it and you have about 13 hours to get home ...
The Dangers Of The Play-Calling Screens
You know how it goes. It's a hotly contested game of Madden, or NBA Live, or, say, NCAA Football 07, and you played your ass off and you lost on a last-second touchdown and you think your buddy was sneaking looks at your plays and you threw the controller across the room and you tried to get the l...
The Day After For The 0-1 Teams
One of the joys of writing about sports on the Web is how every day is a little more important than it would be if glimpsed from a wider perspective. Fortunately, during the baseball postseason, there is no wider perspective: Everything matters in every possible moment. (If you don't believe us, ask...
Playoff Pants Party: Yankees Vs. Tigers
Shouldn't Tigers fans be happy that their first playoff experience in about 323 years leads them against the Yankees in the first round? Isn't it more fun that way? Wouldn't it not really feel like the playoffs if they were playing anybody other than the Yankees?...
Where My Team Stands: Detroit Tigers
If we've learned anything about Octobers the last few years, it's that the month tests, stretches and hones every aspect of loyalty fandom. Typically, we pretty much just tell our friends that we'll see them sometime in November. It's a stressful time....

Tigers Burned Again
We generally don't condone vandalism, especially when it involves college students and fire. But you have to admit that these Auburn football fans, from last year's game between Auburn and Arkansas, were pretty much asking for it....
If Only He'd Have Gone Another Week!
This man's name is Fraser Babineaux, and for the last year, he has been known around these here Internets as "LSUOverUSC," a guy absolutely obsessed with proving LSU deserved the national title over USC in 2003. His site is a case study in how the Internet can drive one mad; it is so niche and so si...

We Suck At Everything, Apparently
I realize that golf isn't that big of a deal here at Deadspin, unless Tiger Woods is whiffing on an awkward high-five, or Phil Mickelson is choking away a tournament on the 72nd hole. But the Ryder Cup is one of the few events in sports when the competitors involved care about the outcome as much as...
That, Friends, Is A Lot Of Funk
In a world of uncertainty, the dancing fat man is a distinct pleasure worth cherishing. Do not underestimate the dancing fat Clemson fan: He's, in fact, quite nimble. You might think it cheap and/or easy, but we value the fundamental certainty of gyrating flab, and we think you probably should too....
Cultural Oddsmaker: The Irish Menace Of The Ryder Cup
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to say hi....
Only Fake Porn Can Make The Ryder Cup Worthwhile
We're not really sure why we're supposed to care about the Ryder Cup. First off, it's golf: It's the furthest thing from a team sport, and no matter how hard they try to convince us that we're rooting for "America," it's hard to inspire enthusiasm to root for the home country to avoid the bunkers wh...
"I Get That Old Lovin' Feelin'... Every Time I See Jim Leyland"
Your pennant run is not legitimate until Jeff Daniels makes a YouTube music video about you. A musical masterpiece, it is not. A song that will get you fired up, it also is not. What it is, is... well... I don't know what the hell it is, but it probably made Jeff Daniels feel better about himself....
Tiger Wins In An Un-Tigerly Fashion
The man wins even when he isn't trying to win. Tiger was shaky down the stretch (!), holding a three-stroke lead with six holes to play, and ending up in a playoff with Stewart Cink. Four holes later, Tiger Woods was the WGC-Bridgestone champion....
What Tiger Will Be Up To In Five Years
We don't get into Tiger Woods much around — except to make fun of his facial expressions — mainly because Tiger Woods is, by both design and nature, an intensely boring, robotic character. He wins, and he wins again, and he breaks into a recognizable human emotion every couple of years. This is not ...
Tiger Woods Is Ready To PARTY
We congratulate Tiger Woods on his 12th career major yesterday, an easy victory at the PGA Championship. We are reminded through these pictures, once again, that nobody celebrates quite like Tiger Woods....
Everyone Else Is Really Just Wasting Their Time
I really don't know what to tell you here. It's Tiger Woods, it's Sunday, it's a major tournament, and it's over after the front 9. In fact, it was probably over before he teed off. The man has just been incredible....
Luke Donald's Going To Need A Huge Pair Of Balls
I'm going to try to not make this post entirely about Tiger Woods, as tomorrow's golf post will probably be entirely about Tiger Woods. But yeah, Tiger Woods is tied with Luke Donald for the lead of the PGA Championship after 54 holes. Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods....
