Week In Review: Ladies And Gentleman, Boys And Girls...Dying Time's Here
Hey there. Finally the four-day week is through. Here is a campaign promise worth keeping: Unless Sarah Palin gets hit in the face with a basketball during the Vice Presidential debates, she will no longer be seen on Deadspin. Palin, obviously, was featured prominently this week and, in hindsight, i...
Week In Review: You Know, Sarah Palin Was Once A Budding Hannah Storm
So can somebody out there dig up some footage of "presumptive" GOP VP Sarah Palin in her days as a fledgling sports reporter in Anchorage? Does that footage even exist or did it melt inside some igloo? This is, though, an interesting choice. Kind of takes the teary-eyed sparkle off of Obama's Victor...
Buzz Bissinger Seems To Be Enjoying His Summer

This photo was sent to us from a reader and I'm not quite sure what it means. Either way, Roger Goodell would like to have a word with Buzz i...
The Undeniable Attraction Between George W. And Jennie Finch Continues

The Unforgettable Memories Of That Terrible Manny Ramirez
It was a shame I didn't link to the this Manny farewell column today by Boston Herald writer Gerry Callahan, who gave Manny Ramirez the swift Boston dropkick out of New England that was a little over the top in its good riddance-ness. Callahan destroys Ramirez's character with such viciousness that ...
Matt Leinart: Lookin' Sharp As Usual
This photo appears to be a leftover from The Dirty.com's Matt Leinart off-season portfolio from a few months ago. Here we find Matt and his black life jacket posse looking super tough and composed right before the Jagerbombs kick in. Hopefully those two young ladies didn't have to get choked by Matt...
Week In Review: It Was An All-Star Week For Everybody
Fun week. Enjoy the weekend. For you East Coasters, it's much too hot to go outside. Instead, grab yourself an icy cold Fribble and spend it inside with Matt Sussman as he deftly handles the Deadspin weekend duties. Hopefully, he'll be able to update us on the status of Mike Lupica. He might still b...
