What This Means For Us: The Chicago Bears

Bobby Knight Unlocks Another Mystery
Bobby Knight sure has been chatty since breaking the all-time NCAA men's win mark. Here's his take on the whole Bill Parcells situation in Dallas. Parcells, a longtime friend of Knight's since their coaching days at Army, resigned earlier this week. The reason? It's all because of Terrell Owens, of ...
Hey, Everyone! How Ya Hoofing?
On the day that Barbaro gets another good report card from his vet, we check in with the Barbaro Message Board to find that, well, things are getting just plain weird. And when you're talking about the Barbaro Message Board, that's saying something....
The Truly Important Pick Of The Game
In case you were wondering when it all went wrong for the Patriots yesterday, when it all began to collapse, when the wave crested and receded ... you can take a look at this moment, with 7:18 left in the first half and the Patriots cruising to a 21-3 lead....
AFC Blogdome: A Colt From The Blue
What they're saying in Blogopolis after Sunday's AFC championship game (predictably, Stampede Blue has wasted no time going to the Karate Kid photos) ......
Peyton Manning, An Image Now In Need Of An Upgrade
A confession to make: We like dynasties. We don't like them because it's fun to watch one team win everything, because it isn't. We like them because they provide clear, distinct rooting interests and fault lines. The Patriots always beat the Colts, Peyton Manning can't figure out the Patriots, one ...
Patriots vs. Colts, AFC Championship Game: 4th Quarter
- Not to go all Bill Simmons on you, but what we have here—a one score conference championship game with two of the best quarterbacks in the game—is pretty damn sweet....
Patriots vs. Colts, AFC Championship Game: 3rd Quarter

Patriots vs. Colts, AFC Championship Game: 2nd Quarter

Patriots vs. Colts, AFC Championship Game: 1st Quarter
- I'm not really into trophy presentations, so I think I'll go ahead and switch the channel. On the other hand, I'm not really into Dan Marino interviewing Tom Brady, either. Hey, college wrestling on CSTV. Sweet....
Week In Deadspin: Any Football Going On Sunday?
• Kwame Brown wants his cake, goddammit! • Rick Chandler and hist history with Tom Brady. • Mark McGwire Speaks! (Kind of.) • Saints fans were rather happy last week. • Our Cardinals meet the Prez. • Tom Brady and Gisele. Keep an eye on that guy; he's an up-and-comer. • David Beckham, still everywhe...
AFC Championship Pants Party: Colts Vs. Patriots
All right, Colts-Pats. We'll take it. It's a canned storyline, but it's still a fun one ... particularly if Peyton Manning has to drive the Colts down the field with less than two minutes and the Pats up by, like, four. That sounds amazing....
This Time, They Weren't Flopping
During a South African soccer match earlier this week, a sudden gust of wind hit the obviously shoddily constructed stadium. What happened after that is gruesome and amazing. Somebody give that sign a red card. A couple, actually....
This Man Has A Message For You About The Patriots
One More Dying Quail brings us this video of the nightmarish stereotype that all Boston sports fans fear. This guy thinks the Patriots deserve more respect, we think. After this, we suspect he played Golden Tee for six hours, and then got in a fight....

Chandler: In Which I Am Determined To Make Tom Brady The Next Great Basketball Star
Deadspin associate editor Rick Chandler made a rather surprising confession to us the other day, and we demanded he write about it. So he now has the floor....
Tom Brady, Still Clockin' Hos
Legitimate question: How the hell do NFL players have time to meet girls during the season? Particularly the quarterbacks. The reason we never believed that Tony Romo was dating Jessica Simpson was not because we didn't think he had a chance with her; after all, he is able to walk upright. It was be...
Goodnight, Marty: Don't Let The Door Hit You
We're not sure what more one can say about Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer. We do have a suggestion though: Maybe it's time to start wearing that headset like every other coach. That way, perhaps you won't end up challenging calls that obviously aren't going to be overturned, costing you a timeo...
