Tony Parker Fuels Our Nightmares
OK, we know that Tony Parker plays for the Spurs. And he's linked to Desperate Housewives co-star Eva Longoria (Yowza!). That's 12 or 13 Around the Horn-style points right there. But then there's this: He's also a rapper. (13 ... 12 ... 10 ...) who raps in French (9, 8, 7, 65432 ...)...
Tonya Harding, The Female Butterbean
The Sports Pulse takes a look back at the rise and fall (mostly fall) of Tonya Harding over the past twelve years. It's hard not to think about her and Nancy Kerrigan when the Winter Olympics roll around. It was a time when it was OK to be a figure skater and not appear to still going through pube...
Eva Longoria Slumming It, Big Time
Gossip site EITM Online — imagine US Weekly with uncomfortable photos of Mischa Barton's, uh, monthly visit from a friend — has a picture they claim is of Eva Longoria (Spurs guard Tony Parker's lady friend and fellow terrorizer of Mexican police officers) and ... wait for it ... "ESPN Hollywood"...
Dungy Returns To Coach Colts
The Indianapolis Star reports that Tony Dungy has returned to the Colts and will be on the sidelines for Sunday's game against the Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals. He is scheduled to conduct this afternoon's practice session. He has been away from his team for exactly a week and spoke at his...
Beware Of Bicycles, Young Frenchman
As a followup to yesterday's Tony Parker-Eva Longoria dustup with the San Antonio police department, the great Smoking Gun — whose annual holiday gift just arrived in our mailbox — has dug up the official police report from the incident. It doesn't have too much extra information from the original...
Debating Dungy's MySpace Profile
Like anyone who watched yesterday's heartwrenching press conference held by Colts coach Tony Dungy after his son James' funeral, we were touched, saddened and overall deflated by Dungy's straightforwardness and obvious devastatation. We continue to find the speculation about when Dungy will return...
James Dungy's MySpace Profile
A terribly ghoulish way to start your post-holiday break, we agree, and, honestly, we've questioned ourselves as to whether or not this is the type of thing we should be posting about. But we tend to take the viewpoint that if something is out there, and it might be of interest, we owe it to you t...
The Spurs Hate Mexicans (Or Something Like That)
A one-act play, using only displaced quotes from the police report of the citation Spurs guard Tony Parker received after an incident in San Antonio on Christmas Eve with his girlfriend, "Desperate Housewives" "actress" Eva Longoria....
Tony Dungy's Son Dead Of Apparent Suicide
In an absolutely horrible, tragic story, James Dungy, the son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, has been found dead in a Florida apartment building....
Tony LaRussa Plays Some Skynyrd, Man
What would life be like if Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa spent his offseason travelling around and going to rock shows? (As opposed to saving saving puppies and generally being a pain in Anna Benson's "tiny-brained animals" hide.)...
Kornheiser To Klosterman: Come Get Some!
It's always funny when writers fight — imagine fourth grade girls, except with more slapping — and it's even funnier when both writers take paychecks from ESPN. Unfortunately, as much as we might like to make this little tidbit into a fight, it's mostly just an old guy with a microphone tossing pe...
Your "Winner" Is ...
The results are in, and Deadspin readers have spoken. The most likely athlete candidate to come out of the closet is ... Kordell Stewart!...
Half-Hour Left To Vote!
Polls are closing at 1:45 Eastern Time for our first gay athlete to come out poll. The race is tight right now, and your vote could make all the difference. We'll announce the results later this afternoon....
Vote: First Gay Athlete To Come Out?
All right, we promised you a poll, and here's your poll, our first ever on Deadspin. The question: Who's the most likely athlete to come out of the closet first, based off Oddjack's Cultural Oddsmaker, which laid down the odds on five most likely suspects to be the first "out" athlete....
Cultural Oddsmaker: Who's The Next Gay Athlete?
With Sheryl Swoopes' earth-shaking announcement that she was (no!) a lesbian, tongues are wagging (sorry) about who the next — i.e., actually surprising — athlete to come out of the closet will be. Our friends at Oddjack have helpfully lay out the odds on five heavily rumored to be gay athletes, p...
Tony Parker: The Only Cool Spur (And Frenchman, Actually)
Great NBA blog FreeDarko.com — Darko's current mood is "enraged," by the way — has made a pretty amazing find: A rap song featuring Fabolous, Spurs point guard Tony Parker and some French rapper named Booba. This is pretty fantastic for several reasons — you can download the song here — not least ...
Saying Goodbye To ESPN's Mark Shapiro
After a reign that changed the culture of the world's largest sports entertainment network, ESPN executive vice president Mark Shapiro has now left the network to work for Redskins owner Daniel Snyder with his new venture with Six Flags. Ignoring all "Quite Frankly With Yosemite Same" jokes for a ...
Just A Bunch Of Nerds, Debating Nerdom
We're big fans of Fire Joe Morgan's weekly deconstructions of ESPN analyst Joe Morgan's chats on ESPN.com — even if the chats of late, in the words of Fire Joe Morgan itself, have had "entirely un-Morgan-like reason and coherence" — and, to have some fun themselves, the folks at St. Louis Cardinals ...
LaRussa: No Celebration For You!
Last night, the St. Louis Cardinals became the first team to win their division with a 6-1 victory over the rival Chicago Cubs. It is the Cardinals' second consecutive NL Central title, and their fifth in the last six years. After a long, grinding season, one would expect the Cardinals to break ou...
