Tim Hardaway Wants Only Straight Men To See His Penis
So, by now, everyone has heard former NBA point guard Tim Hardaway's comments on the Dan LeBatard show yesterday, but just in case you're up for some caveman rhetoric — he'll have the roast duck with the mango salsa — here's the full audio of the interview....
Look At The Nice Tall Black Man
You know, it's a shame. The guy devotes his a large portion of his private life to helping other people, trying to make the world a better place, assisting his fellow man through the treacherous terrain of this planet. He is honored in the most public possible way on the world's grandest stage ... a...
Chandler: A Chat With The Sklar Brothers
Occasionally, Deadspin associate editor Rick Chandler goes out and interviews people. Look! He talked to the Sklar Brothers!...
Steelers Going With Tomlin
The Pittsburgh Post Gazette is reporting that the Steelers have chosen Mike Tomlin to be their next head coach. The Steelers, according to the report, told Tomlin he was their choice, are negotiating with him right now, and have informed Russ Grimm of their decision, too....
Someone Is Going To Coach The Steelers
But it might not be Mike Tomlin. I linked to an article yesterday that reported that Tomlin had the job, then Tomlin denied that that was true... and then ESPN's Chris Mortensen said that it was true, and so did everyone else... and last night, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review said the job belongs to R...
Mike Tomlin To Replace The Beloved Chin
Mike Tomlin, former defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings, has been hired as the new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Rooney family was said to really admire Tomlin's defensive philosophies, his organizational skills, his refreshing ability not to bathe every single person he talk...
Chandler: In Which I Am Determined To Make Tom Brady The Next Great Basketball Star
Deadspin associate editor Rick Chandler made a rather surprising confession to us the other day, and we demanded he write about it. So he now has the floor....
Tom Brady, Still Clockin' Hos
Legitimate question: How the hell do NFL players have time to meet girls during the season? Particularly the quarterbacks. The reason we never believed that Tony Romo was dating Jessica Simpson was not because we didn't think he had a chance with her; after all, he is able to walk upright. It was be...
Your 2007 Los Angeles Dodgers: Taste The Excitement
The Dodgers on Thursday threw up a smoke screen to hide a rise in ticket prices, and it's a pretty effective one. A ticket in the right-field bleachers has gone up four bucks, to $10, but with that you get all the Dodger Dogs you can eat. Eric Gagne for an endless supply of weiners? Sounds fair to u...
It's An Amazing Elusive And Powerful Back Who Doesn't Kill Ex-Wives And Waiters
We always found it strange that people were considering anyone other than Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson for the MVP this year; we like Drew Brees as much as anyone — including his mother, of course — but we couldn't imagine not giving it to Tomlinson....
Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Fitted National League Cap
This story isn't totally new, but it's the first we've seen of it. And we have to warn you in advance that all sides here are quite possibly insane. Charles Littleton, 22, was tackled, tasered and hauled off to the hoosegow last week for refusing to remove his Los Angeles Dodgers cap during a Sagina...
Tom Cruise Has His Hooks Into The Beckhams
Poor David Beckham. He had his heart set on attending the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes wedding until the evil bastards that run Real Madrid told him to get his ass back to the team. He's dealing with a knee injury and thought he'd go enjoy the nuptials, but his coach wasn't going for it. He ordered him...

Another "Outstanding" Regular Season Manning Triumph
There is a temptation to point out that if Peyton Manning had thrown four interceptions at home on national television against his biggest rival, he would have been vilified by anyone with a keyboard yet again for being a choker; because it was Tom Brady who did it, it was just an "off night" for ...
Cut. That. Meat.
Well, the time has finally come. It's almost time for the Colts and Patriots to kick off, and thus, for Peyton Manning to engage in a no-win situation. If he loses, he's still firmly entrenched in the role of Tom Brady's lawnboy. If he wins, it's a meaningless regular season game that won't even be ...
Time For Manning-Brady ... Uh ... What Number Are We On Now?
You might have heard: The Colts play the Patriots this weekend, which means it's time for more Brady vs. Manning stories. We think everyone's issues with Peyton Manning are nicely summed up by Kissing Suzy Kolber:...
Tommy Morrison's Confusing Confusion
Far be it from us to deny a guy the opportunity to make a living, and we consider ourselves open-minded ... but we had to say, when there's open debate as to whether or not are HIV-positive, we kind of think maybe you shouldn't be boxing....
Yet Another Reason To Hit Jeff Kent
That's a part deep inside all of us, we must admit, that wonders if athletes are secretly basing the outcomes of their games not on whether or not their team wins, but whether or not it affects their fantasy team. We've all thought it....
Tommy Lasorda Is Not "Smart"
Big ups to Sports By Brooks, which has unearthed a gem of an audio clip: Our pal Tommy Lasorda absolutely freaking out on a radio host for, uh, pointing out that he was sleeping during a baseball game earlier this year....
Time To Get Your Taste Of Lasorda Love
In case you haven't been paying attention, a very old man is demanding that you cancel your plans this weekend to stay home and watch the baseball playoffs. It's Tommy Lasorda, of course. You know, the guy who decided to pitch to Jack Clark in the ninth inning of Game 6 of the 1985 NLCS. Suddenly he...
