Desperate Dog Search Now Getting Help from Weirdos
Yes, dogs are fun little animals and all that, but the search for the prized whippet named Vivi who escaped from JFK terminal after last week's Westminster Dog Show has gone completely off the rails. Joining the search for the missing champion dog are none other than 12 psychics....
Love Was In the Cards For Don West
For those of you who have ever come home at 2 in the morning, half in the bag, switched on the TV and considered buying that Jeff Garcia autographed helmet from the Shop At Home Network — and you know who you are — Pat Imig at Joe SportsFan.com has written a loving tribute to everyone's favorite l...

Johnny Weir Is Huge In Kansas. And In The Glute Area.

Tom, Interrupted
I was curious about how Patriots fans would react to the loss last night, since they have so infrequently experienced that thing called losing. Understandably, not many Pats blogs have been updated. But a few of the diehards who realize the therapeautic nature of blogging did manage get some thoug...
Anyone See Glory Road?
I considered going to check it out, but I was a little hesitant. Nothing against Jerry Bruckheimer, but I don't feel like giving up $8 to see him tackle any serious issues of culture, because I doubt it's going anywhere beyond the standard Hollywood "let's just make sure we all feel warm and fuzzy...

Playoff Pants Party! Patriots at Broncos
Once again we find the Patriots fighting in one of those "respect" games. This week, the disrespected team is the Denver Broncos, who really nobody has any faith in whatsoever regardless of their record, Jake Plummer's "maturity" and the fact their defense has been surprisingly solid all year—with m...
Randy McMichael's Refreshing Candor
It's been about 48 hours since the Eagles officially gave agent Drew Rosenhaus permission to shop around his star client, Terrell Owens, and, um, let's just say this about the response so far: Drew can go to the movies without worrying about his cell phone bothering anyone.

NFL Playoff Roundup: Riiiiipppppp!
• Honestly, we know this was covered all weekend, but man, that Carson Palmer thing was the worst playoff moment we can remember. We think Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals have it tough; Bengals fans finally get in the playoffs, and two plays in, their Pro Bowl QB tears an ACL and MCL. (Quest...
Week In Deadspin: We Never Once Said "Vin-SANITY." So You Know.
• Hey, there was a moderately enjoyable college football game this week. • Clinton Portis is the man, and, in case you were wondering, his mom rules too. • Support your local athletes, always, particularly if you're Stuart Scott. • Ichiro could be a killer, you know. • So you know, this guy is not...
Playoff Pants Party: Jaguars Vs. Patriots
This is the late game tomorrow night, which means, if you plan your day correctly, you should be properly hammered enough by halftime to confuse that dude in the corner with some ex-girlfriend who did you wrong. (Or, for female and non-traditional male readers, uh ... OK, we're not sure what the ...
Tracking The NBA's Secret Man
