Pat Summerall: The Last Of The Hard Voices
At my gym the other day, half of the television screens were showing an episode of Dr. Phil.

Welcome To The New Deadspin
Hi. The place looks different, doesn't it? The sofa's over there now, where the Fillmore West '69 poster used to be. We tossed the Yaffa blocks and the lava lamp, and we managed to sell Magary's old futon on Craigslist, even though the mattress was starting to look like the Shroud of Turin. You like...

We all had a good laugh when Washington Wizards play-by-play man Steve Buckhantz dusted off his patented "dagger!" call despite Trevor Ariza's (very nice looking) airball to end the Wizards' game on Wednesday night.

If This Is How The Eagles Are Trying To Smear Nnamdi Asomugha, It's Hilarious
The media of Philadelphia evidently can't fill the winter hours by moaning about the Phillies or their just-outside-of-the-playoffs NBA and NHL teams. They want to talk Eagles. And they don't want to talk strategy, or draft picks, or rhapsodize about Chip Kelly. Those are all silly things to do in l...

This Full-Court, Bouncing Shot From A High School Basketball Game Is Bananas
Lewis Palmer high school junior Anna Olson heaved this shot almost the entire length of the court in the final moments of the third quarter (though enough time remained to take the ball up court) against Cheyenne Mountain high school in Colorado.
