Week In Deadspin: A Marquee QB Story
• Matt Leinart sent a lot of people to our site, and then tried to make it clear nothing happened at all. For the record, as part of our job description, we believe no one. • We gave Skip Bayless the royal treatment, and no matter how mean we might have been, we still felt too nice. • Some things you see that you cannot unsee. • Mark Cuban, professional ass wiper. • Ray King was traded ... and an elderly woman was finally allowed to die. • John Daly, as you've never seen him before! (In addition, boy, Skip Bayless as you've never seen him either.) • This is what it's like when jokey sports writers collide. • Kyle Orton, tellin' all ya'll, it's Sabotage! • The real story of what happened on that sex boat. Go Vikings!
Make sure to come back tomorrow and enjoy the stylings of The Mighty MJD. (Oh, and it's not too late to get your Deadspin-reading friends holiday tidings.) Have a good weekend, and we'll be back Monday.
