Breaking Down Pacquiao/Barrera II
Last night I decided that if I was going to spend $60 on this fight then I might as well offer you my thoughts on the action as it goes down. What follows is a round-by-round breakdown of the fight that should have gone down two years ago. Regardless, it was still an opportunity to see the best poun...
Stuart Scott Will Bring Peace To The World Of Rap
One can think of no one better to mediate the feud between 50 Cent and Kanye West than Stuart Scott ... except of course Conan O'Brien, or Daulerio. Both have albums coming out on Sept. 11, and Fiddy, as the kids call him, said that he will retire if Kanye's Graduation outsells his Curtis. The two w...

Tom Brady has eight more bastard children to go if he wants to catch up to Travis Henry. The Denver Broncos running back "fathered" nine children scattered about the southern United States, using nine different mommies. Somehow that $25 million contract wasn't enough to write off his unpaid child su...
Shelley Duncan Needs A Nickname

Happy Birthday, Wiffleball!
It's a big day in the world of sports birthdays: The wiffleball (and bat, we presume, unless they were just playing catch) turns 54 years old today. We would compare the wiffleball's age to our mother's, but she'd get all mad at us....
When Fabricated Quotes Are Taken Out Of Context
Yesterday, I mentioned in the Blogdome about how a sports talk radio show made a crucial mistake none of us seasoned sports blog readers ever do: take an Every Day Should Be Saturday post seriously. Continuing this trend, Sports Illustrated appeared to have taken a satirical riff on the NBA Draft di...

How Do You Spell "P-L-E-A-S-E L-O-R-D G-O-D S-T-O-P T-A-L-K-I-N-G?"
Sometimes we wonder if we are too hard on ESPN. Sure, collectively, they seem to have sucked the very life out of sports, packaging schtick and corporate pablum into a stew of impossible-to-digest soulless muck. (And, unlike the rest of us, they mix metaphors!) But they're still just individuals, ou...
May Stuart Scott Leave Your Mother The Hell Alone This Evening
Mother's Day will soon have come and gone, but there's still time to relive one of the all-time greatest mother moments in sports history. Carmelo Anthony's mother, overcome with emotion, beaming with pride as her son lives his proudest moment ... and Stuart Scott antagonizing her with a microphone....
Yet Another Way ESPN Makes You Gassy
You thought your life was caused enough pain every time you went to the gas station these days? (We still don't have a car, but it makes our heart ache every time we even look at a gas station anymore.) Well, it's about to grow far, far worse: Now, at certain gas stops, you're gonna have to hear rum...
Stuart Scott Truly Loves His Hos

Daulerio at SBXL: Alex Brown Goes Back to Bourbon Street; Stuart Scott Attempts To Jack Himself Up
Deadspin "correspondent" AJ Daulerio is filing dispatches from the Super Bowl all week. Last night, he hit the motherlode. This is the final of his three tales from a crazed night....
Deadspin Field Trip: Our Battle With Slash And Bad Moon
Last year around this time, thanks to a promotion for that "Pros Vs. Joes" show on Spike that no one we know watches, we strapped on a helmet and batted against John Rocker. That trip worked out so well for everybody that they asked us if we'd be interested in heading to Grand Central Station in New...
Hey, Everyone! How Ya Hoofing?
On the day that Barbaro gets another good report card from his vet, we check in with the Barbaro Message Board to find that, well, things are getting just plain weird. And when you're talking about the Barbaro Message Board, that's saying something....
