Emmitt Lays Into T.O., Steelers Win In OT And Sexy Rexy Alexi Gives Us One More Game In September
Each weekday morning Awful Announcing, video slash and grab extraordinaire of the sports blogosphere, gives us a visual rundown of everything you missed from the night before. If there's something sports-related you'd like to see with your coffee, shoot him an e-mail and let him know....
Monday Night Football: Ravens-Steelers
It's the rarest of sights. Two teams in the AFC North Division with functional motor skills on the same football field at the same time. Baltimore puts their vaunted undefeated season on the line in Heinz Field against the 2-1 Steelers. If you blog it, they will jump. * * *OK, Overtime For Rills Thi...
The Sklar Brothers Are On The Air, Sort Of
Randy and Jason Sklar, who created and starred in Cheap Seats on ESPN a while back, debut their new web-only series, Back on Topps, on Tuesday. It's my opinion that a web series about brothers who work at a sports card company will only work if it occasionally includes Dennis Rodman giving relations...
Tell It Goodbye
The Beatles played there, Pope John Paul II took a spin around the infield in the Popemobile, Spider-Man married Mary Jane Watson there, and one day in 1986 Bill Buckner rather famously had a ball roll through his legs. On Friday we asked you to send us your Shea Stadium memories, and you came throu...
NLDS Preview: Cubs Vs. Dodgers
From the very first day of Spring Training, the general consensus has been that This Is The Cubs' Year. (This has caused me considerable frightened quivering, pretty much from the get-go.) It's not just the 100 years thing either. It's difficult to argue that the Cubs haven't been the best team in ...
NLDS Preview: Phillies Vs. Brewers
At a certain level, it has to be tempting for Brewers manager Dale Sveum to just start C.C. Sabathia every game of this series. Obviously, that's not actually feasible, but who cares about Sabathia's future? The Brewers are losing him anyway. Ride the guy until he dies. Let the Yankees pay the pric...
ALDS Preview: Angels Vs. Red Sox
The most refreshing aspect of the Red Sox-Angels series is that it's happening in the ALDS rather than the ALCS. This means, no matter what, that either the Devil Rays, the White Sox or the Twins will be playing for the World Series. In a crazy year, this is far more fitting than yet another Boston...
The Brewers Clinch, Favre Times Six And A Depressing Goodbye To Shea Stadium
Each weekday morning Awful Announcing, video slash and grab extraordinaire of the sports blogosphere, gives us a visual rundown of everything you missed from the night before. If there's something sports-related you'd like to see with your coffee, shoot him an e-mail and let him know....
Eagles at Bears: A UUGE Live Blog!
Donovan McNabb is playing, despite suffering a chest bruise. Kyle Orton is playing, despite a case of ineptitude. Devin Hester and Brandon Lloyd are both questionable. Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann are both annoying. Hey, Keith, why the fuck are you still around? Is McCain playing in this game ton...
Mets Close Out Shea as Losers; Brewers Go Wild
CC Sabathia, Milwaukee's big time mid-season acquisition, stepped up on the final day of the season to help the Brewers clinch the National League Wild Card spot with a win over the Cubs. Ryan Braun was once again the hero as his 2 run homer in the 8th put them ahead for good. The Brew Crew clinched...
NFL Update 3: Hochuli Strikes Again
If you hate muscle-bound referees AND the helmet-to-helmet rule, you're about to get a two-fer. Ed Hochuli was banished to Charlotte for the Atlanta-Carolina game today, and didn't waste any time letting Panther fans know of his budding reputation. Turns out that Hochuli threw a flag on a hit that t...
'We Beat Georgia By This Much' And Other Games
No. 8 Alabama 41, No. 3 Georgia 30. The Crimson Tide continue to impress in national primetime. Last night, they dispatched of their second Top-10-ranked opponent this season, with neither game being played at home. Georgia's choice of shrubberies and uniform color proved to be moot as Alabama ran u...
HOLY CRAP! Phillies Win NL East On An Incredible Double Play
Jesus. Brad Lidge tried to give the entire city of Philadelphia a heart attack. In the top of the 9th with a two run lead, Lidge allowed a run to score and proceeded to load the bases. Jimmy Fucking Rollins made a ridiculous double play to clinch the National League East for the second straight year...
Elway Engaged To Former Raiderette
Former Denver Broncos superstar John Elway is engaged—to a former Raiders cheerleader. Traitor bastard! Paige Green, a 41-year-old that Elway met at a golf tournament three years ago, moved to Denver a year after she met the NFL Hall-Of-Famer. John presumably celebrated the engagement in typical Elw...
Bring It On! Deadspin Ladies Take On The Idaho Cheerleading Controversy
Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why no...
Fort Hill's Principal Is Making An Ugly Situation Even Worse
This past weekend our own Marcel Mutoni brought you the story of alleged racist taunts at a football game in Cumberland, Maryland between Fort Hill High School and Dunbar High School of Washington DC. To recap, Dunbar's celebrated coach Craig Jefferies took his team on a road trip to western Marylan...
Seahawks Message Board Poster Succeeds In Creating Rivalry With The Giants, Fails As Human
On many occasions, team message board trash talk veers toward some very unpleasant depths, but some of the stuff being circulated on the popular Seahawks fan message board "Seahawks Huddle" right now has sparked an amazing amount of negative responses thanks to its unprecedented levels of classlessn...
Innuendo Bowl LXXI: #1 USC Trojans vs. Oregon State Beavers
Do you like games where the No. 1 team loses on the road? Well, too bad, because that game's not for a few weeks. Until then, we have a nice Pac 10 game between two "rivals" for you which will be over by mid-second quarter. We got ESPN's Chris Fowler, Jesse Palmer, and Craig James(er) in the box. We...
Thursday Night Football Primer: USC Prepares To Crush Oregon State
Give ESPN credit for Thursday night college football. In the beginning the Thursday night slate was awful. Rarely, if ever, would good teams play against other decent teams. It was the bottom of the college football barrel. Then teams started to recognize the value in monopolizing the nation's atte...
