Week In Deadspin: We Fought The Lawton
This image was lost some time after publication. • We broke the Matt Lawton steroid story, wondered what it all meant and then everyone ignored us. Which is fine. We can take it. • People were all over Jason Whitlock, but at least we got a shout-out on ESPN about it. • Page 3 died, and it's very possible it happened weeks ago and nobody noticed. • Apparently that guy who ran on the field in Cincinnati last weekend has drank with most of our readership. • Our readers predicted Gary Sheffield was the mystery AL 'roider, and they were totally wrong. As was everyone else. • Theo Epstein left, and everyone was blaming the curly-haired boyfriend. And then somehow a gorilla costume got involved. • The NBA came back! Woo-hoo! Let's get it started! Aw, man, Shaq got hurt already? Boo! Still ... respect the NOOCH! • Boy, that Terrell Owens ... what a guy. • Gatorade. In You Is It?
Have a good weekend, everyone. We're going to grab some "clear" and watch some of Hideki Matsui's video collection. See ya Monday.
