Torry Holt is a Jacksonville Jaguar. Top-seeded Sharks freaking out over 0-2 deficit? Africans again dominate Boston Marathon. High […]

The differences between Matt Ryan and Michael Vick are pretty apparent. But it never gets tiring to see the disparities play out for the current and former quarterbacks for the Atlanta Falcons. Consider this most recent example: Ryan spent Monday at the headquarters of ESPN shooting a new spot for the network's "This is SportsCenter" […]

Is it my imagination or am I writing more items lately about the Washington Nationals than the Phillies, the team I care about more than any other (and the defending World Series Champions)? What can I say? The odd tales that are coming out of DC just seem to intrigue me more. The latest involves […]

The Detroit Lions, proud owners of an 0-16 record in 2008, unveiled a new logo today. The team has a new coach and a new general manager and the No. 1 pick in the draft, so tweaking the logo to make the lion a little fiercer looking is good for at least three wins. I […]

Former UConn defensive tackle Robert Lunn (No. 65) is now playing pro football in Portchach, Austria. He’s obviously got a sense of humor, with a blog called Thoughts From a Fat White Guy. He recently shared his European experiences with Deadspin and had this to say about a Greek bathhouse his teammates took him to: […]

Anyone who traveled to watch Energie Cottbus lose, 4-0, to Bundesliga rival Schalke on Friday will have their admission refunded by the team. You hear people in sports say they “take responsibility” all the […]

The few people who shelled out $9.95 for a webcast from Saturday’s Southern Mississippi spring football on station Rock 104 game heard a lot more than they ever bargained for, including commentary such as, “What’s the weirdest thing you stuck yer dick in?” If you missed Southern Miss’s internet broadcast game, you missed a graphic […]

I attended the GLAAD Media Awards last night in Los Angeles, and no big shocker: Milk won an award. Director Gus Van Sant said a couple (refreshingly) brief words. When I saw his face projected on the big screens in the Nokia Theater, I realized he was the twin of New England Patriots coach Bill […]

LGBT boxing fans (myself included) will miss the charismatic presence of boxing great Oscar De La Hoya, who announced his retirement from the ring on Tuesday. At age 36, the Golden Boy had to confess, "I don't have it any more." His most recent fight left him on the receiving end of a resounding TKO, […]

It’s a good week if you’re a fan of the Mets (no) and Yankees (yes). The New York teams open a pair of new ballparks at a cost of more than $2 billion, with the Mets splitting their first two games in Citi Field and the Yankees opening tonight. If history is an indication, the […]

The Stanley Cup playoffs, the best postseason tournament of them all, begin tonight. This is one thing the NHL gets right, and will continue to get right as long as they never replace sudden-death overtime with that godawful shootout. And don’t listen to that “every team makes the playoffs” crap. Only 16 of the 30 […]
