You Know You've Missed Peter McNeeley
You can make fun of Mike Tyson all you want for his repeated "comeback" attempts — though we think he might have permanently shelved them ... for now ... permanently temporarily — but at least he has people who want to watch him fight, for whatever depraved reason. He also was once a champion. Whith...
Your Piece Of Michael Vick History
Sure, you can buy your Michael Vick chew toys and Ron Mexico T-shirts and Ookie jerseys, but don't you want a real part of Vick history? Considering he's not likely to play in the NFL again — no, he'll totally turn into an accurate passer when he's back in 2010 — don't you want something truly conne...
Ron Mexico's Plea, The Day After
You know, we're starting to think that Michael Vick's wine bar might have a little trouble getting off the ground....
Inmate Number Ookie
Well, as you've surely heard by now, the Joey Harrington Era is now official: Our man Ookie / Mexico / Vick is will plead guilty to the dogfighting charges....
Today's A Perfect Day To Not Do Any Work
So, if you've been too caught up in not watching David Beckham and the MLS, you might have missed it, but we're in the midst of a rather unprecedented pennant chase in Major League Baseball. That is to say: Every single division race, not to mention the wild-card run, is close; the biggest gap betwe...
There Are Safeties Weaker Than Ryan Seacrest
You know, we didn't mean to come across as openly derisive toward Ryan Seacrest yesterday when we pointed out that he will be a co-host of the Super Bowl this year. In fact, we clearly underestimated the guy....
If You Can't Trust Your Posse, Whom Can You Trust?
Two members of Michael Vick's entourage pleaded guilty this morning and are going to testify against him in the dogfighting case, and they very well might be sending him to prison for more than a year and ending his NFL career....
Goodbye, Byung Hyun Kim
A sad day yesterday, and the end of an era: Byung Hyun Kim was released by the Arizona Diamondbacks. We wonder if we will see him again....
The Super Bowl Gets More SUPER
You might think that Richard Simmons hanging out with Howie Long and company is just an anomaly, a tiny bit of happenstance. But then again, you don't know who's hosting the pregame and halftime festivities for Fox at Super Bowl XLII....
There's Madness Behind The Mask
To help celebrate Bobby Cox's record 132nd career ejection (he was tossed again on Wednesday), Sons of Sam Malone compiled the Top 5 Manager Ejections of recent years. It is a fine list, a noble list, and makes me want to crawl on all fours and pretend to lob a grenade. 'But hey,' you may be saying ...
You Can't Tell, But Howie Long Is Erect
If we know our average Deadspin reader, you were obviously watching "Fox & Friends" on the Fox News Channel this morning. But just in case ... Richard Simmons was hanging out with the FOX NFL Sunday crew. Finally, someone who makes Jimmy Johnson look well dressed, and Terry Bradshaw look less gay. ...
Dice-K Has Expensive Balls (Sorry)
How much would you pay for a baseball signed by Daisuke Matsuzaka? We ask this not as theoretical. There's an actual, concrete price, and ... well, uh, it seems like a lot....
Ron Mexico, Head For The Clink
We have become so jaded by the American legal system that it's difficult to imagine a celebrity the likes of Michael Vick actually facing any real jail time. We imagined probation picking up dog doo with his teeth, and a hefty fine. But if the feds were out to get Ron Mexico, it's starting to look l...
Could Vick Plead Out This Week?
One thing we're not necessarily looking forward to, if it comes to that, is a Michael Vick trial. We already have read all the gory details and aren't necessarily eager to see them rehashed in gruesome detail, with pictures. And these trials inevitably involve a bunch of lawyers talking to each othe...
You're Doin' A Heckuva Job, 'Bama
Remember those federal tax breaks that were supposed to be for New Orleans Katrina victims to rebuild their homes and businesses? You'll be happy to know that someone, at least, is taking advantage of them. Developers in Tuscaloosa, Ala., are using the Katrina tax shelters to construct $1 million co...
