England, Where You Can't Wear a Mankini and People Cry When They Get Booed
Michael Bertin writes about soccer regularly for Deadspin. Ashley Cole—that's him in the white—seemingly has plenty going for him.

Greg Oden Couldn't Be More Thrilled With Your Request For A Photo
Thanks to Phil Golding for this picture, who got it from a friend who enjoyed a recent flight with Trail Blazers rookie Greg Oden.

The Sunday Evening NFL Roundup
Those clever Dolphins with their misdirection. I know if I stare long enough Ronnie Brown is going to pop out of nowhere and run my ass into the ground. Brown rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown while Chad Pennington continued to excel at keeping the ball from hitting the ground (75.8% passing). A...

College Football Roundup Week 5: The Saga of Destroyed College Gameday Signs
Each week more signs appear behind the stage at ESPN's College Gameday.

Financial Institutions (And the Mets) Aren't the Only Things Collapsing in Epic Failure
Michael Bertin writes regularly about soccer for Deadspin. A funny thing happened on the way to the San Siro. Actually, it wasn't funny at all, but with the Special One lining up his charges against the Boys from Brazil (Pato, Kaka, Ronaldinho), Milan v. Inter seemed the likely footy fodder for the...
