The Appropriate Way To Showcase Your Team Loyalty
We're still a month and a half from the ole Red River rivalry game between Oklahoma and Texas, and, as always, emotions are running high. How high? Oh, "bust open the opposing fan's scrotum" high. (That's pretty high.)...
Those 30-Run Rallies Will Kill You Every Time
Little did you know that when you watched Maracaibo, Venezuela beat the Netherlands, 21-2 in the Little League World Series on Tuesday, that it wouldn't be the most embarrassing wipeout of week. Meet your 2007 Baltimore Orioles, who lost 30-3 to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. For Texas, it was the...
The Day The Chargers Avoided Disaster
On last night's "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," the plucky host who stole Larry Sanders' show out from under him mocked the NBC SundayNightIsFootballNight crew for analyzing how the NFL and the Atlanta Falcons would deal with Michael Vick's guilty plea. We understand the easy joke — Who cares abo...
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....

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. ...
