Gator Quarterback Not Named Tebow Charged With Burglary
Florida Gators backup quarterback, Cameron Newton, was arrested, charged with felony burglary, and suspended from the team after stealing a classmate's laptop. Newton got caught when, in a stroke of genius, he used the stolen laptop to access the school's network. Oh, but that's not all. When he rea...
And At Week's End, The First Chapter In The Caitlin Davis Penis-Drawing Kerfluffle Comes To A Close
The story of young Ms. Caitlin Davis is a sad one, as the once wholesome New England Patriots' cheerleader went from budding pom-pom sweetheart of Foxboro to loathsome alleged Anti-Semite, both nationally and internationally, in a short period of time. (So sayeth the Italians: "Caitlin nei fotogramm...
Allen Iverson Traded: The Day After
So Allen Iverson is now a Piston. And Chauncey Billiups is heading back to Colorado. And the world now knows the name Cheikh Samb. But what does it mean for Detroit, Denver, Antonio McDyess and the rest of the NBA? Detailed analysis, educated guesses, wild speculation and whatever the hell Woody Pai...
Allen Iverson On His Way To Detroit
The Detroit Pistons are this close (imagine my thumb and index fingers very near to each other) to trading Chauncey Billiups, Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb to the Denver Nuggets for Allen Iverson. The Detroit News was first on this, and others are now saying that the deal has been agreed to in pri...
Bonnie Bernstein's Legs Open Momentarily; DVR's Perk Up
On Tuesday morning's First Take, in the first hour (at about the :39 minute mark), many readers alerted us to what transpired. And what happened, friends, was Bonnie Bernstein momentarily forgetting that she was wearing a skirt on television, and when she adjusted herself, well, let's just say that...
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...
US Soccer and the Cuba Cinco
Forget about Ocho Cinco. The newest rebels: The Cuba Cinco. As the US Soccer Team beat Cuba in a World Cup qualifying match last night, they had some special fans in the crowd cheering them on. Five US soccer fans chose to ignore the government's ban on travel to Cuba and went to support their team ...
The Death Of Mike And The Mad Dog?
Neil Best wrote a story suggesting that the dynamic sports talk radio duo of Mike Francesa and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo has reached a bitter end. Best relays that industry sources say that the on-air tensions between the two may have finally reached a breaking point and that, unless there is some mira...
Keith Olbermann Is Not Much Of A Pistons Fan
Keith Olbermann seemed genuinely flustered last night when Al Gore took his sweet time taking the stage at Joe Louis Arena to endorse Barack Obama; so much so that he forgot what team Chauncey Billups plays for. Billups was onstage to introduce Gore, and Olbermann had to go to his notes to identify ...
Curry Is the Son of Sons
Stephen Curry is a cold-blooded assassin. He's like Leon in The Professional. You're not sure about him in the early goings but he wins you over in some crucial moments. Eventually you begin to love him although you know he's destined to die in the end. Anyways... Curry's 30 points (70 in two games...

Three Days Later, The Upset Still Stuns
As much as we enjoyed the link to all the other Big Ten teams celebrating Michigan's loss, and as happy as we are for Appalachian State — some of whose fans actually saw this coming — we still have to focus on those Michigan fans, who saw their entire season (and perhaps so much more) evaporate in a...
App State Wins!
Wow, that sure looked impressive from the ten second highlight package! The Division 1-AA (now called something else) champs from Appalachian State came up to the Big House and ran roughshod over the Corn and Blue. For some Dan Shanoff style insta-history let's go to...Dan Shanoff!...
Get Your Filthy Piece Of Clothing Here
At 5 p.m. ET today, Matt Murphy, that guy in the Mets jersey who caught Barry Bonds' 756th home run, is going to announce whether or not he's going to sell the ball. Forgive us, but by the looks of an eBay page he just set up, we think we have a pretty good idea of what he's going to do. (We kid, by...
