USC Wants You To Remember The Alamo
Boy. Not only are tempers still flaring over current BCS issues, but there are still some 2005 grudges that seem to be on the front burner. USC blog Boy From Troi, for instance, couldn't help taking a shot at Texas when the latter's marketing dept. sent out an e-mail promoting the arrival of their...
New Defense Secretary A Closet Online Football Chatterer
Robert Gates, as those of you who lower yourselves to pay attention to the world outside of sports might know, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the new Secretary of Defense, replacing Donald Rumsfeld, the Marty Mornhinweg of foreign policy. Gates was most recently president of Texas A&M Universit...
Sadly, She Was Only On Level One
What happens when you cross Million Dollar Baby with The Miracle Worker? You get this; which we suppose is video boxing, but could also be a clearcut case of demonic possession. We blame two things for these deeply troubling images: The new wireless Wii remote, and Title IX. Clearly there are flaws ...
Does This Mean No Halftime Show?
And suddenly, "Malice at the Palace" seems so childishly innocent. Several police officers and fans were injured Wednesday during a huge brawl at a Serbian professional basketball game, as rival fans went at it before tipoff. The Serbs; they know how to party....
Wear The Jersey Of Your Favorite Player's Venereal Disease!
You might remember the famous OutSports expose on the words that the NFL won't allow you to print on the back of their jerseys. Apparently, this guy, from the Atlanta game last weekend, was somehow able to iron on this tribute to Ron Mexico himself....
Justin Gatlin Finds A Sport That Doesn't Mind That He Uses Steroids
When your fourth wide receiver is a guy named David Anderson, it's probably not a bad idea for you to explore all possible options, but the Houston Texans are taking it to a (not really all that) new level....
Colt McCoy, Drug Pusher
It's a familiar story in sports. A young man grows up in a tough neighborhood where drugs are being pushed left and right. It's a shame when a young man becomes a victim of his environment and gives in to the temptation. Like Colt McCoy here:...
Cultural Oddsmaker: Who'll Be the Next Athlete to Have a Sex Tape?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday. Email him to let him know what you think....
Imagine How All The Teams Who Play The Redskins Feel
We try not to bring any political correctness, or politics in general, around here, because sports are supposed to be fun, and politics is not fun and just makes people angry. But we couldn't help but think this was a little silly. The athletic director at Dartmouth published a letter in the student...
The Great Big North Texas Football Family
Far be it from us to tell someone how to run their Division I-A football program, but we think as far as dysfunction goes, the North Texas Big Green take the proverbial taco....
Cancel Those Reservations, Ladies
First O.J.'s television interview is canceled, and now this. Remember how Mike Tyson was supposed to be all set to go to work for Heidi Fleiss at her new stud farm in Nevada? Turns out, evidently, that it's not true. And our Wednesday just got a little bit sadder. From ContactMusic.com:...
Wait ... Are Those Pesos Or Something?
Everyone's dumbfounded by all the money being thrown around in baseball these days, from the Alfonso Soriano and Aramis Ramirez contracts to our new favorite, the Dodgers signing Juan Pierre for $9 million a year for the next five years. (They did watch last season, right?) Remember, three years a...
Start Saving Up For A Good Boning, Courtesy Of Mike Tyson
Here comes the perfect opportunity for the first-ever Ladies Only Deadspin Field Trip: Mike Tyson has reportedly agreed to be a male prostitute at Heidi Fless's new manwhorehouse in Nevada....
Yes, You Could Call Him A Flutie Flake
First of all, the term "unhinged Texas Longhorn fan" seems somewhat redundant to us. But let's proceed, if a day late and a dollar short:...
The Madness Of Matsuzaka
As Baseball Prospectus' Joe Sheehan has been warning us, and Yahoo's Jeff Passan echoes, the baseball contracts you're going to see this winter will blow your mind; teams are ready to spend like crazy. But, still: Our jaws are still dropped that the Boston Red Sox are paying $51.1 million just for t...
"I Took You Out Because You're Not SMILING Out There"
Well, we know college basketball season is officially upon us: Bob Knight is being accused of brutalizing a player again. This time, it was Texas Tech sophomore forward Michael Prince, who made the mistake of not making eye contact with Knight while being lectured after a timeout. Knight bopped Prin...
Welcome To Boston, Matsuzaka (Maybe)
Tonight, about 8 p.m. Eastern, Japanese non-gyroball thrower Daisuke Matsuzaka could announce which team has won the bid to win the rights to bid for his services. The whole situation has been tinged with rumors of malfeasance in the bidding process, but the clubhouse leaders at this point: The Bo...
The Greatest YWML Reference Of All Time (So Far)
So, Saturday morning, we woke up, full of enthusiasm for a beautiful New York City afternoon, and we checked our email. There were, strangely, 211 new email messages; that's a lot for a weekend. We weren't sure what we'd missed; did Carl Monday do a story on Fred Smoot or something?...
A Very Unmanly Night Of Boxing
At Madison Square Garden tonight, Muhammad Ali will be in the house, and the IBF heavyweight title is on the line. There was a time when that would've meant something. Tonight, however, Muhammad's only there to support his daughter, and the guy who's challenging for the world heavyweight title would...
Let's Revisit That Rose Bowl, USC
Yahoo! Sports, seemingly dedicated to the sole pursuit of torturing the University of Southern California, has done some digging about the instant replay booth in last year's national championship game. They've discovered that it was an incorrectly hooked-up replay monitor that prevented the prope...
