Maddenpalooza: Stunted Paloozaness, Lots Of Badges, And Warren Sapp Is Insane
This year is the 20th anniversary of John Madden football and to commemorate this historic occasion, the folks at EA Sports held a "MaddenPalooza" event in Los Angeles. Deadspin dispatched Michael Tunison to cover some of the sights, sounds, and overall geekiness. This is his second dispatch from th...

How Much Can You Overpay For Yankee Stadium Detritus?
On the eve of All-Star Game festivities, where everyone will conveniently ignore that Yankees Stadium is one of the most unpleasant venues in all of sport and was gutted in the early '70s - in an attempt to make it look like a wondrous relic worth cherishing - we get a jump on the House That Ruth B...

Favre Protesters Mark The Coming Of End Times
The Favre shit is going to drag out longer than the war in Iraq. First presidential candidate to put the kibosh on this story gets my vote in the next six elections. It can even be Ralph Nader. He was right about the Kings-Lakers series years back, after all. Anyway, a bunch of fucking Cheesetards ...

Once Again, Sports Team Not Named For Monkeys
The new NHL affiliate in Iowa has made the regrettable mistake, like so many teams that have come before them, of naming their franchise for some regionally appropriate animal over a monkey, ape, baboon, marmoset or even a humanzee. What I want to know is why are so few teams named for monkeys....

Mmmmmmmmmm Tour de Donut
Without the benefit of steroid scandals or testicular cancer survivors, this year's Tour de France isn't getting a whole lot of attention from the American sporting world. And don't you worry, I'm not paying it any mind either. Not while there's a Tour de Donut going on. The 32-mile MissouriIllinoi...

It's no forehead Olympics tattoo, but Stephon Marbury has some fine audacious cranial ink of his own. And self-promotional too! The 30 Rock writers must make Tracy Jordan respond in kind....

Busted Coverage turned up this video featuring a Rangers fan of [consults euphemism robot he lets sleep on his couch] considerable avoirdupois whose gut plunges a good foot or so below his waistline. That is the tehest of sexy. Incidentally, I'm sure that's the only time he's had something with only...

Madonna Begged For This To Happen
Jose Canseco is probably going to need some help with the fighting scenes in his grand Yuen Woo-ping-choreographed kung fu movie, because, well, dude can't fight. Last night he was dealt a first-round knockout at the fisted hands of former Philadelphia Eagles return man Vai Sikahema in Atlantic Cit...

These Are Clapping Dogs, Rhythmic Dogs, First-Pitching Dogs, House Dogs, Street Dogs
Uno, who I believe was named for the card game I never bothered to learn, continues to blaze trails for doggykind. Back in February, he became the first beagle ever to win the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (though Snoopy remains the first to be a World War I flying ace). Yesterday, he "threw" ou...

Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tony Thompson Open Thread
Wladimir Klitschko and Tony Thompson are readying to square off in Hamburg (in Color Line Arena, no less) for the heavyweight title on HBO. Ukraine's Klitschko is the heavy favorite, but D.C. native Thompson (whose back story was sufficiently limned by this insidious rag) has the power and size, if...

We've had an absurd dedication around these parts with bringing you the latest developments in the career of Jose Lima. Is it his infectious ebullience on the mound?
