Vote Or Umm… Dont?
January 30, 2008

With all the craziness going around Duan (She’s no longer an abbreviation, but a name, to me) these days surrounding the Deadspin Commenter Bracket, I thought I should start doing a little campaigning. Afterall, with the half naked pictures some of the commenters are putting up, how’s a guy to compete?
I know. Post my own.

Countdown: 8 Days… Till The Most Anticlimactic Game Of The Year
January 26, 2008

No other sport’s final game presents more hype and promise than the Super Bowl. No other sport draws the abnormally high price per ticket, television ad or strip club entry fee than the NFL’s championship game. But no other sport disappoints on such a consistent basis.

Mom! There’s A #### In My Cereal!
January 20, 2008

In an effort to become a more cultured apartment, we’ve asked our new roommates to each write a post that doesn’t relate to sport. We know we’re very limited outside of that niche, but we trust the new guys won’t pull an A-Rod and disappear in the clutch. Shit. This is [...]

Oh, Hey. Roommates. Cool.
January 17, 2008

Whew. That was a well needed hiatus.
Ok, so it was only two days, and nobody even noticed we were gone. Point is, we’re back. And we’ve got ourselves some roommates. Yep. Apartment 718 is a three-bed, 1 bath now. (We share a toilet. What?) This sudden, unexpected twist to our once comfy living quarters means [...]

NFL Postcards: Round I
January 14, 2008

So there I was, hangin’ out around University Dr. and Honey Hill Rd., down in sunny South Florida. The air was hot and stuffy, the sun was blazing over my head and my balls were sticking to the side of my leg. Just a typical day in Miami. A typical day, until I went snooping [...]

January 14, 2008

With all the talk surrounding Tony Romo’s Cabo trip with girlfriend, Jessica Simspon during the bye week, little was made of the other quarterback’s activities in the days leading up to the NFC East, playoff showdown.

Not Even Ghidrah Can Stop The Chargers
January 14, 2008

Everything was going right for the Colts. They finished the season strong despite missing key players along the way. Had a bye week to get those players healthy. They were home. And Norv Turner was to be on the opposing sideline. What the Colts didn’t expect was the arrival of Norvzilla.
Thousands upon thousands of Indianapolites(?) [...]

Top 10 Obscure References To Athletes In Music
January 13, 2008

This list is bullshit. It’s not so much a Top 10 of All Time as it is a Top 10 of a Small Sampling of Songs That I’ve Come Across While Illegally Downloading Music on Limewire. Or something. So don’t get all pissy when you don’t see your favorite Pavel Kubina lyric on this list. [...]

Who’s The Man With The Soapy Piss?
January 11, 2008

That’s what I wanna know. Everyday, around 6:45pm, I make my way to the bathroom most commonly used in the office, only to find the most confusing thing I’ve ever encountered — bubbles. In the urinal. Bright yellow bubbles. Sitting in the urinal that I’m about to cast off into.
It’s bad enough that I have [...]
