Why Your Hometown Columnist Sucks: Stephen A. Smith
We're not even going to get into his show on ESPN, which we've well-documented elsewhere. We are here to discuss the many sins of Stephen A. Smith the writer, the columnist. The man absolutely refuses to back up any of his written assertions with sources or facts. A guy who routinely sends in colu...
T.O. Needs Your Spare Change
You'd heard that Terrell Owens' house was for sale, but now you can see it all official-like: T.O's Moorestown, N.J. home, at 40 Landing Court, is right there, with an asking price of a mere $4,399,000. (Strangely enough, we think T.O. could probably use the money right now.)...
Leaks: Pujols Wins MVP, Finally
Well, today's the day they announced the National League MVP, and you can probably guess which way we're rooting. (We'll give you a hint; it's not the Cub. Or the guy from that Southern team that has no fans.) The vote is expected to be close, but, according to unfortunately named Cardinals blogge...
The Woe Of The Eagles Fan
There was a moment last night, during the Eagles' season-crushing 21-20 loss to the Cowboys, when you really grasped just how difficult it must be to be an Eagles fan. Ordinarily, we scoff when fans of successful teams complain about their suffering; we root for the Arizona freaking Cardinals, so ...

NFL Roundup: Down Goes Tice!
• What's funnier than Mike Tice being rolled over and knocked down on the sideline? Nothing, that's what. By the way, we find Tice's dopey sideline celebrations undignified, and Tom Coughlin's constant gyrations of fury incredibly amusing. • Samkon Gado, baby, Samkano Gado. Two touchdowns, one gr...
Week In Deadspin: Rodman, Cold Pizza And Us
• Lesbian cheerleaders getting it on in a bathroom? What more can we tell you? It, you know, seems like the type of story people might be into. • We went to go check out Dennis Rodman's book signing, and it made us almost as sad as it made his agent jaw-droppingly (and hilariously) furious. We lov...

Clinton Portis Still Selling Crazy, Man
In case you thought Redskins running back Clinton Portis was becoming more sane as the weeks went by rather than less, you can relax. We proudly present his newest concoction: "Sheriff Gonna Getcha."...
Even Satan Is Saying, "Rosenhaus? Never Met Him."
The Philadelphia Daily News brings up something we pretty much all figured was going to happen: It appears a bunch of Drew Rosenhaus' clients are seriously considering dropping him after his pretty clear botching of the Terrell Owens situation. Rosenhaus signed up most of his clients in the last t...

Your Token "Sweep The Leg, Johnny" Reference
One of our favorite Doug Flutie stories was when then-Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson, trying to motivate his team for an upcoming game against the Bills, destroyed a box of Flutie Flakes in front of his team. When Flutie heard about the incident, his face fell. "That cereal is to benefit autism rese...
"They Just Need To Give 'Em All BATS!"
We found this photo of "The Sopranos"' Vito Spatafore and video game shill Lawrence Taylor, and even though it has nothing to do with the rest of this post, it made us laugh, particularly considering Vito's quiet preferences on the show....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as The Terminator licks his wounds ... • College FB: West Virginia at Cincinnati. Mortly Ivy will stop the Bearcats cold, we predict. Of course, it's quite possible we don't know what we're talking about. [ESPN2] • NBA: Miami at Indiana, Sacramento at Denver. Overindulging at the pro h...
Rosenhaus Sets T.O.'s Career Ablaze
One pretty amazing press conference involving Terrell Owens this afternoon. Owens came out and made a seemingly sincere statement, apologizing to his fans, the Eagles, Andy Reid, Donovan McNabb, the owners, pretty much everybody but Jeff Garcia. We were watching it thinking, "Man, he actually see...

Internal Shakeups At ESPN's Original Entertainment
We hear serious rumblings of some big changes in ESPN's Original Entertainment. We hear that current executive producer Mike Antinoro is leaving the network for destinations yet unannounced (off to play with Bugs Bunny and Dan Snyder with his old buddy Mark Shapiro?), and that Executive Vice Presi...
Don't Forget About The Sex Cruise!
While the rest of us sully our filthy little minds with stories of lesbian cheerleaders, The Mighty MJD is keeping his eyes on the prize of the whole Vikings sex boat story. (How quickly we forget ...)...
