College Games You'd Wade Through A Pile Of $#!+ To See
Only two games this weekend feature ranked opponents going head-to-head. But there are still plenty of intriguing non-conference matchups on the schedule. And you never know when a highly ranked team will shit the bed against an unworthy foe. Could Florida lose to Troy? Anything's possible now....
All of those fun little technical difficulties from last weekend have been sorted out (the difference a space bar can make!) and we're ready to go for week 2 of Hugh II: The Nedessy Continues... Please send me all of your most insightful and pithy comments to our AIM screen name, NCAA Deadspin. [The...
We'd Rather See Dirk
By now, you've heard that Mark Cuban is expected to be on Dancing With The Stars next year. We find this depressing in the same way that Cuban's "The Benefactor" program was depressing; we might make fun of Cuban a bit, but he'd a damn sight more worthy a human being than Donald Trump, and here he w...
You Can't Kill Baseball Fans During West Coast Road Trips
We all knew baseball can keep kids out of trouble, give total strangers something to talk about, and sometimes give hope and solace to a grieving nation (see: 2001). But we didn't think baseball was capable of saving someone's life....
This Also Happens Often To Swimmers
SCANDAL at the University of Hawaii! Apparently, some fella named Ian Sample, who used to play football for the Rainbows, claims coach June Jones used to manipulate drug tests. We're not sure we understand what the big deal is — if you can't get stoned playing for Hawaii, dammit, where can you get s...
A Q&A With Sally Jenkins
Sally Jenkins is one of the most formidable sportswriters in this great land of ours; her work for The Washington Post won her the Associated Press' Sports Columnist Of The Year award, which is a real award and actually kind of esteemed, if you can believe that. She's the co-author of It's Not About...
I Was There - A Game That Mattered
Anyone who reads Ladies... knows that I am a long suffering Pirates fan, to the point I barely care about baseball anymore. Always the same old saw: we stink, we're always rebuilding, we're always trading away good young players to save on the cap, we decide to spend on Matt Morris. Yesterday, howev...
Jose Offerman's Comeback Attempt Hits A Minor Snag
As you surely knew, everyone's favorite smoldering volcano of goodness, ex-major league All-Star Jose Offerman, is playing for the Long Island Ducks of the Independent Atlantic League this season. Or, he was, until he went after opposing players with a bat on Tuesday night. Let's see Bonds try this....
What The Hell Are The Bleachers There For Then?
You know, you'd think a job as an assistant general manager of a minor league baseball team would be a cool gig, one with people who get it, man, you know? Apparently, society is evolving far too slowly for Ray Zerba....
Make These Women Carry Your Stuff
The woman in this photo is Lucy Dardiner, one of the specialty caddies from England's Eye Candy Caddies. The concept is what you think it is: Attractive people, carrying your clubs and, we dunno, feeding you grapes or something....
Judge: Brazilian Soccer Is Too Gay
Say what you will about the legal system in our country — we are a country governed by laws, and those laws are enforced by a man who gleefully lies, splendid, amazing, artistically blessed lies — but at least we don't have people like Manoel Maximiniano Junqueira Filho, a Brazilian judge....
To Watch Tonight
What to watch as the garbage actually does take itself out ... • MLB: San Diego at St. Louis. Our long national Bonds Watch seems to be over. [ESPN] • Pool: 2007 World Summit of Pool. Yes, it's August. [ESPN2] • World Combat League. With pool cues. [Versus]...
Glavine Gets His Zack Snyder On
We congratulate Tom Glavine on earning his 300th win last night. We also appreciate that he didn't drag it out too long; unlike some people, he hasn't taken so long that we find ourselves rooting for him to break a record we don't actually want him a break, just so everyone will be quiet....

Best.Draft.Ever.
I know that nobody likes hearing about other people's fantasy football lives— but this could be an exception. The intrepid Andy Behrens of Yahoo! Fantasy! gathered up a group of 12 sports bloggers to form the Tank Johnson Desert Classic. The league is a highly volatile experiment that Behrens will c...
Being An Obscure Gay Basketball Player Won't Help You Sell Books
It's difficult, in the world of sports book publishing, to garner better advance publicity than John Amaechi had for his book Man In The Middle....
Erin Andrews, Atlanta Tapas Lover
We don't mean to harp on the sideline reporter thing today, but we feel obliged to point out: If you're around the Atlanta area, and want to know where all the cool kids are hanging out, Erin Andrews has your back....
You Stole The Wrong Car, Dude
We know this will come as a shock to you, but apparently sometimes they steal cars in the Detroit. We know; we're as stunned as you. Anyway, if you're gonna steal a car in Detroit, we'd highly recommend you make sure the people you steal it from don't play for the Detroit Demolition women's football...
