We Can't Imagine What He Thought She Did Wrong
In a quiet piece of news that has received a strange lack of notice, Cowboys wide receiver / cutter Terrell Owens fired his publicist Kim Etheredge yesterday....
BCS Blogdome: There's Got To Be A Morning After
What they're saying in Blogville about Florida's 41-14 win over Ohio State in Monday's BCS Championship Game ......
Many People Taking Photos Of Two Men Hugging
We find it difficult to become too worked up about coaching rivalries. It reminds us of Neal Pollack's excellent Slate piece about the "cult of the general manager;" all told, if there's a genuine blood feud going on, we'd prefer it to involve people who actually play. They can hit each other, after...
Jets vs. Patriots: 4th Quarter
- We're about to start the 4th with the Jets down 10. It could still happen for them, but they need to get something going quickly. Come on, Chad, let's make this one close....
Jets vs. Patriots: 3rd Quarter
- The third quarter's just gotten underway. Shawne Merriman was interviewed by satellite at halftime, and he was either wearing a tank top, a unitard, or a pair of suspenders with no shirt. It's an unusual look, and not one that many people can pull off. Shawne Merriman included....
Jets vs. Patriots: 2nd Quarter
- 7-3 Patriots here... and I'm enjoying the Jim Mora Coors Light commercial for about the sixth time this weekend. This one's not getting old. Jim Mora is the anti-Mellencamp....
Jets vs. Patriots: 1st Quarter
- Hello... welcome back to another day of hot, nasty, NFL action. The Jets and Colts are a few minutes from kicking off. I don't know if I'm going to watch, though. Sundays are for bowling....
Week In Review: Don't Cry For Us, Leather
• We returned from vacation and are still completely bewildered. (And without our luggage.) • See ya, Chin. • Javon Walker was awfully close to Darrent Williams. Literally. • Jim Lampley will knock you around a bit. • You should always believe Nick Saban. • Mr. Daulerio is headed to the Super Bowl...
Cultural Oddsmaker: What Will Tiger Woods Name His Baby?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
Playoff Pants Party: Patriots Vs. Jets
To think about this game, we like to compare not Eric Mangini and Bill Belichick, but, in fact, Mangini and Tom Brady. We think there might not be too physically different human beings on the planet. One of these days, Mangini should just eliminate the middleman and coach in a mumu....
The Royal We Is Back, And So Are We
If you were wondering what a man looks like after a 12 1/2-hour flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Santiago, Chile, to Toronto to New York City — particularly when his luggage is still in Toronto, presumably being delivered by mounties this evening — this is what he looks like: Haggard, but full...
Take Me Home, Country Load
There isn't a lede in the world that could possibly do this Georgia Tech fan's Gator Bowl experience any justice, so I'll just go right to the recap:...
K-Fed Will Totally Kick Your Ass, Bitches
When our chimp-like ancestors first descended from the trees and began walking upright about 6 million years ago, little did they know that it would lead to this. You should have warned us, Charles Darwin. Damn you to hell!...

We Have To Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • Noon: NCAA FB with Todd McShay: Will you be attending the Texas Bowl or the Holiday Bowl? Hey, no need for obscene gestures. • 3 p.m. NHL with Barry Melrose: Who will win a game first from today on, the Flyers or the Phillies? • 4 p.m....
Doug Johnson Must Be Some Kind Of Douchebag
With a staggering 39% of the vote, Terrell Owens was the "winner" of an SI.com poll among NFL athletes on the subject of the league's most annoying player. Owens was one of only two players to get into a double digit percentage, the other being Joey Porter with a disappointing 10%....
We Have to Ask
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 11 a.m. NFL with Chris Mortensen: Terrell Owens, gay, or just really bitchy? • Noon 2 p.m. Baseball America: I've been in a coma since 1996. Is Andy Pettitte still pitching for the Yankees? • 3 p.m. NCAA FB with Beano Cook: Hate to int...

HANDSOME! • Desmond How...
We're Going To Wally World!
Someone asked us the other day whether or not our job was stressful. We thought about it for a moment and told them that our job is only stressful when we're not doing it. Doing Deadspin is the most fun thing we do; the only time it stresses us out is when we're away from the computer and terrifie...
More Fun With Bruce Weber
Since we already devoted a whole post to a game that pretty much only we care about, we're not gonna bore you (again) with details of our Illini's 73-70 win over Missouri last night, the seventh straight win in the series. (Though it was a rather outstanding game, and some people even live-blogged...
