• College Basketball: #14 UCLA @ USC. You know those ESPN promo spots that feature different pregame traditions for various teams around the country? Anyone else think the UCLA one is really lame?...
Arena Football. Outdoor Life Network. Irony.
The Arena Football League has found a new home on cable TV. The Outdoor Life Network, which I don't get, has signed a deal to pick up some Arena football games this season when NBC has other things going on, like hockey or the Winter Olympics. The deal was announced on Friday, and there's a game o...
To Watch Tonight...
• College Basketball: Pittsburgh @ Marquette. The last time they played, Marquette star guard Dominic James was injured on what Marquette felt was a cheap shot. Maybe someone will punch Carl Krauser in the junk....

• Reads the caption: "Michelle Kwan was named one of People Magazine's '50 Most Beautiful People' in 2000." And here's her nipple. Or, as I like to call it, Kwannipple....
Johnny Weir Is Huge In Kansas. And In The Glute Area.
Eventually, yes, the Johnny Weir posts will stop. But not today. I think I might be developing a crush on the guy, and I'm not even gay....
Just How Drunk Was Eddie Sutton?
Well, he blew a .22. To figure out how many drinks per hour that is, first, we have to take a guess at the man's weight. Now, I've been fired from my job trying to guess people's weight at the carnival three or four times, so I'm not very good at it. But if we guess an even 200 pounds, consuting ...

What To Watch While Pre-Ordering Books On Amazon ... • College Basketball: North Carolina at Virginia; Cincinnati at Xavier. If it's wrong to have Musketeer Madness, then we don't want to be right.

A Differing View On Davis' Trip Into The Stands
Deadspin reader Tom Malkin was in a section right by Antonio Davis' wife during the incident at the United Center last night, and he has a very different take on what actually happened prior to Davis' stomp upstairs. Here's an excerpt:...
We'd Also Try To Get Our Parents To Do Less Drugs While Pregnant
On the radio show Coast to Coast with George Noory last night was one of our favorite guests — John Titor, a gentleman who claims that he is a time traveler from the year 2036. Of course, the mind reels with the possibilities. What is happening in the distant future of 30 years from now? Is the se...
Welcome To The Golf Course, Baby ... You Gonna DIIIIIEEEE!
We hadn't seen any pictures of Axl Rose lately — we still imagine the former Guns 'N Roses frontman growing his fingernails long and collecting jars of his own urine, Aviator-style, while he watches Velvet Revolver videos and flicks a lamp on ... and off ... and on — but this more recent one struc...
"Football! Go Steelers! Weeee!"
Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer has been having a grand time this week showing pictures of borderline insane sports fans and the lengths they will go to support their team; our personal favorites are the guy with all the Steelers tattoos and the Seahawks fan who calls himself "Cannonball."...
What Really Happened In The Stands? Nothing.
As most of you have probably already seen this morning, Knicks forward Antonio Davis ran into the stands last night in Chicago to "protect his wife from an intoxicated fan." Davis said, "I saw him touch her, and I know I should not have acted the way I did, but I would have felt terrible if I didn...
This Is Not A Picture Of Chastity Bono
Far be it from us to mock a guy for going back to rediscover his roots and promote the game of baseball internationally ... but sweet God, what has happened to former Reds reliever Danny Graves? When you get back from Vietnam, before you head to Indians training camp ... might we suggest a workou...
Need Tickets ... Need Tickets ...
We were complaining, oh, two posts ago, about not enough fans being appropriately ecstatic about the conference championship games this week, but in the host cities, that's anything but the case. It's time for our weekly look at the most expensive tickets on eBay (those that actually have a bid) f...

What to watch as you work out some dance steps to "Sweet Shaun Alexander" ... • College Basketball: North Carolina State at Duke. Honestly, do people around here even realize that the Panthers are still playing football? [ESPN] • High School Basketball: Episcopal (Pa.) vs. Neumann-Goretti (Pa.), at ...
We Pity The Grant Wistrom
We're noticing a rather bewildering lack of excitement about the conference championship games this weekend; it's almost as if fans have pretended they're network executives and are frustrated there are no New York, Boston or Chicago teams playing. Come on, guys! It's the NFL! It's for the Super B...
Commemorating Great Disasters
From the fine fratty lads at Thrillist comes an amusing collection of "novelty" T-shirts inspired by sports' lowest moments, or, at the very least, their most embarrassing....
Poll: Isiah Wins, But It's Closer Than You Think
Well, the results are in from our poll about a theoretical (for now) fight between Isiah Thomas and Bill Simmons, and, well, we're rather shocked: You give Simmons a lot better chance of winning this duel than we possibly could have though. Out of Deadspin readers, 46.2 percent of you think Simmo...
The Broncos' Secret Success Ratio
As evidenced by our 3-5 record of predicting playoff games so far (straight up, no spread), we're notoriously lousy at pigskin prognostication. It's not like this has been the easiest postseason to predict anyway; we can only think of one prediction system that would have led to a correct Steelers...
A-Rod Finally Stops Spinning
Honestly, we're starting to get a little embarrassed to even post about this, but hey, we're here, this is our job, this is what we do ... it's time for another Alex Rodriguez in the World Baseball Classic post. (We've covered this, let's see, here, here and here.)...
