Week In Review: My Moustache Brings All The Boys To The Yard
This has been a nice short week, building up to the inevitable shitshow that will start next week. That's right — changes are afoot at Deadspin. But we'll work through them together and make every attempt to keep this place as lively as usual given the circumstances. It's not earth-shattering, but i...

Some Day, Somebody's Gonna Make You Wanna Turn Around And Say Goodbye
Last night was supposed to be a crowning achievement for Deadspin, LLP. The Phil Savage email story was scheduled to be on the late night SportsCenter, but was then axed by the producers because the night was was supposedly "heavy." I was even sent a copy of the opening to the segment: "Story on Spo...

A Toast To This Smut-Filled Week of Debauchery
Thank GOD this week is over. Christ. Between going out on dates with dim-witted strippers, gloom-and-doom reports from management, litigious MMA fighters and threats from spatially-challenged U of F co-eds, this week has been a perfect storm of corporate drudgery. Well, not the stripper. But that wa...

Week In Review: Don't You Wish We All Could Be As Happy As Baby Mangino?
Here are some of this week's stories that didn't have anything to do with Caitlin Davis. • The Brady Quinn era begins...with a loss • How to open a beer with ...Nazi shark! • Joey Porter: professional trash talker • More trouble for the Olson family.• Barack Obama is elected: Some surprisingly good ...

Week In Review: Yes Us Can
We're THIS close to having a new President, people. Four more days! Four more days!

Let's get...

Week In Review: What's the Frequency, Carl Monday?
Here's a photo Carl Monday submitted from commenter "That Just Happened" when the jack-happy roving reporter attended the ribbon cutting ceremony of Cleveland''s RTA HealthLine, which is a big fancy bus. Public transportation frotteurists in Cleveland should reconsider using this line to satisfy the...

Week In Review: Don't Mess With Texas, You Mormon Freaks
This was a pretty hilariously awful sign posted during last night's TCU trouncing of BYU, where students name-dropped the spooky El Dorado church compound raids in order to intimidate the supposedly up-and-coming Cougars. It worked, obviously. So, there will be a couple of announcements on Monday. ...

Week In Review: I Hope Kimbo's Son Has A Better Weekend
Let's wrap this up quickly, since this space will be occupied by Sussman's Red Sox/Rays liveblog tonight. Watch him do that thing that makes the ladies say hoooooooooo..... • Brady hearts McCain • Rays wax • Kimbo gets rocked by this dude • Ladies wax • Stu's got his eye on you • Buzzsaw gets raped ...

Week In Review: A Club Full of Tiny Members
So there have obviously been a few minor changes here this week, all of which will be addressed at a later date. Nothing to see here, please disperse, all that. For now. Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Clay for all his contributions to Deadspin during his full-time tenure here. Hone...

Week In Review: Dry The Rain
Hi there. After last night's Mets and Brewers victories, I'm legitimately worried. This time of the year it's all about momentum and those teams have it and the Phillies, sadly, do not. I'll say it right now — if the Phillies lose tonight, the season's over. As a long-suffering Philadelphia fan ever...

Week In Review: Chris Cooley Has Learned His Lesson
Well, it's been an eventful week this week here at the Nation Of Deadspin. It began so ridiculously with Chris Cooley's unfortunate dick-slip, as the story unfortunately gained national attention even though the Cooley clan did their best to keep it contained. Cooley ended upapologizing for the inci...
