Week In Deadspin: Friends In High Places

• Boy, do we have some athlete run-in stories for you. • What's funnier than Jeremy Shockey celebrating Not much. • Hey, Michael Irvin and his "friend" had himself an active week. To be fair, we're always getting arrested around Thanksgiving ourselves. • Hmm ... what's Chad Johnson up to this weekend? • I - L - L!!!! • Where all 40 bucks of "Cold Pizza"'s ad dollars are really going. • Funny, our mom wants us to dump her ashes at a Bed, Bath & Beyond. • Jake Plummer, Gay Icon. • A list of all that you might hate about ESPN, and much, much more. • Well, at least Steven A. Smith didn't make the calls himself. • You favorite sportswriters, all wrapped up in their binkies.

Oh, and we said goodbye to Oddjack and shamelessly tried to hawk our book, to our own detriment. Have a nice weekend, everyone. Do try and stay out of trouble.
