Premier League
Sorry for the late start, but had some problems connecting to the wifi here in downtown Chicago. Man U versus Manchester City is already underway, then Arsenal v Blackburn, and finally the big match of the day, Chelsea Liverpool. I'll try to keep running updates as the matches go on and giving some ...

And Miss, What Does The "P" Stand For Again?
I don't know much about soccer. I'm not going to pretend to know much about soccer. But if the masses want some Prem League recaps, they are going to get some Prem League recaps. I hope it's sufficient....
Cox and Thurman - Average Americans With Disabilities
Cincinnati Bengal Odell Thurman and Tampa Bay Buccaneer Torrie Cox filed discrimination claims yesterday with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, claiming that their suspensions due to substance abuse should be overturned in light of their alcoholism....
I can has home run?
It doesn't take a genius to slap some misspelled drop-shadow text on a photo and upload it to the intarwebs for big laughs. The runaway success of sites like I Can Has Cheezburger? and LOLcats.com have spawned imitators and now athletes are getting the LOLcat treatment thanks to Grimey at LOLJocks. ...
Jay Mohr, Brought to You by Massengill
This will mark the third Deadspin post this month about Jay Mohr's new gig, which is QUITE FRANKLY far more attention than he deserves, but golly, this is too good to resist: He's gone and got himself a blog. And it's brimming with treasure:...

Another Young, Ready To Rampage
Thank you, Dan Steinberg, for introducing us to "Damage." This is Damon Young, son of "Meat Hook" Nationals first baseman Dmitri Young, and he insist that you call him "Damage." And that, friends, is a mohawk. Clearly, this is not a boy with whom to trifle; boom bitch....
Our Only Regret Is That Gary Sheffield Does Not Have A Blog
This just in: Joe Torre is still a racist. He also hates puppies, and Flight of the Conchords. Let's get him! Such would be the cry if Gary Sheffield ran baseball....
If Only The Large Breasted Hot Women Would Leave Athletes Alone!
The handsome rapscallion you see right there is Will Demps, a slightly mediocre free safety for the New York Giants who's pretty much destined to be on a reality show in six years. He's a smoldering fellow, and you know what that means: He just can't keep the groupies off him....
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....
Even Cancer Kids Are Aggressive Red Sox Fans
Nobody told little Lexi Alden, who, upon learning she was on live television, grabbed the microphone and took charge. Hey, Baltimore Orioles: YOU'RE GOING DOWN. The cancer kid says so....
Are The Yankees Doomed?
That was quite a heartfelt mea culpa by WWL columnist Jeff Pearlman on Monday, eh? Basically, Pearlman proferred a sloppy apology to Joe Torre for writing off the Yankees — and calling for Torre's head — in May. You can get in on the fun right here. But here's the thing: What if New York still ends ...
The Orioles Were Who We Thought They Were
And Kevin Millar has left town ... no need to worry about him for awhile. For those who are not Boston fans (and therefore do not have their heads in ovens right now), it was ex-Sox Millar's game-winning home run that gave the Orioles a 6-3 win over the Sox on Sunday; while Jason Giambi was homering...
