Deadspin recently posted an article on an unfortunate
snafu by Darren Rovell . He essentially argued that
Meb Keflezighi's NYC Marathon win was not truly "American", because Meb was born elsewhere. Meb moved here when he was 12, however, so Darren sounded as if he only accepted "certain" ...

After yesterday's uproar over Deadspin posting ESPN rumors,
I couldn't help but laugh. So many bloggers tried
to write the story as if this was just a random event--that the real Deadspin was nice, cuddly, and gave out piggyback rides to small children. Hey small bloggers--it's 2009! You don't ...

Stephen Jackson or "S-Jax" was fined $25000 for
conduct "detrimental to the NBA." Several hoops sites already
profiled this fine, such as Warrior blogger Tim Kawakami and Henry Abbott . They pointed out the hypocrisy of Stephen getting fined for making a trade demand while Kobe was not. But ...

I had a nice surprise earlier this summer;
I finally got to meet one of my interviewees
from this blog. I had previously interviewed Kathryn Bertine , who was working hard towards her dream to make the Olympics in 2008. ESPN was sponsoring her, and she wrote some very funny blogs on her quest ...

Weird beginning, right? You come here to read
my takes on sports, and all of a sudden,
you get a dose of my take on something totally different . But it's really not that unusual for sports bloggers to go on a tangent. By our very nature, we're sharing our perspective on the story. With luck, my ...

Much of Charles Barkley's legacy has been built
on him being an undersized power forward. For example,
nba.com says "However, as a player he was the greatest anomaly in basketball history. Listed at 6-6, but probably actually closer to 6-4, he played power forward as well as anyone, often ...

At first I thought Deadspin's late Friday story
that Erin Andrews may have been illegally taped in
her room, was just filler, or that week's deleted scenes. However, turns out that Erin Andrews really was videotaped by a scheming pervert . What frustrates me about the situation is that Doug ...

On Sunday I tried out with a league
volleyball team. I'm relatively new in town, and I
was a free agent. They wanted to make sure I could play first, which I had no problem with. We played a weak team, and our setter told us "See that guy with the glasses? This is his fourth game ever--he's ...

AJ was kind enough to follow up on
Saturday's post about Deadspin and the Decline of Merit-Based
Commenting. I had some open-ended hypothetical questions that he answered, and his take is below. 1. Where are these new commenters going to come from? AJ: I don't know if it's actually a matter of ...

I've been interested in discussing Deadspin's decision to
trim its commenter ranks for a while, but have
been overwhelmed by apathy and underwhelmed as to how many people would be interested in such a topic. However, a surprisingly dull Saturday has finally provided me with the impetus to ...

to explain how social network relationships would result in actual purchases. Brian: You're approaching it wrong - stop thinking in terms of monetizing your social network MC: Ok, I'll ...

Recently I decided to argue with, err, talk
to Brian of MadPropstoBakedPotatoes about his enduring enthusiasm for
social networks. While I've had lots of fun playing around on various forumboards, blogs, and social networks, I don't think that social networks will truly transform our world. ...

Recently it was published that former dog-killer Michael
Vick sat down with Tony Dungy for a meeting.
It was portrayed as a feel-good story; the now-repentant criminal sitting down with the NFL's closest contact to the Man Upstairs. And certainly, it seems as if Tony Dungy would have some good ...

This year's All-Star weekend seemed to mark a
new era in the NBA. It seems as if
every decade, the game reinvents itself. You had the Bird/Johnson era in the 80's; Jordan in the 90's; and then, well, whatever it was in the 00's. Players like Iverson and Marbury were recognized as the face of the ...
