”Larry Brown, Moving Again
Forgive us for not posting the flashing alert siren on the top of the site now that Larry Brown is heading to the land of Charlotte. This will be his ninth NBA job, which is pretty insane; did Chris Gatling even bounce around that much? The real shock is that there was no Lupica column about it this morning. Alas, tomorrow. More »

Back in 1988, there was some sort of network program called "War Of The Stars," We're guessing it was like that "Network Stars" show, but, you know, less popular, and with more Dick Van Patten. Well, NESW Sports has dug up archive footage of a young Michael Jordan playing basketball against ... Martin and Charlie Sheen. More »

Sleep Like Mike
If you've got extra space in your crib and have asked yourself recently, "What's a great way to blow some of my hard-earned cash on a completely unverifiable piece of athlete memorabilia?" then today is yours to rejoice in: You could be the owner of Michael Jordan's old, dirty water bed from when he was just a spindly-legged millionaire shooting guard with a receding hair-line and pair of ugly red and black high-tops.

Sure, He's, Uh, Doing Some Bobcats Scouting
We were busy at this show tonight, so we're late on the uptake, but we will say this: We don't think we'll ever get used to seeing Michael Jordan wearing Illini colors. We wonder if Tar Heels fans will ever get used to it either.
Anyway, it sure is nice to hear Bill Raftery and Jay Bilas again, isn't it? Oh, and the Broncos won, and Mr. Mexico is in jail. More tomorrow.

Michael Jordan Is Paying A Wee Bit In His Divorce Settlement
Michael Jordan and Juanita Jordan got engaged on New Years Eve, 1987. Jordan was in his third year in the NBA at the time, and had just filmed a Nike commercial with Spike Lee. They were married almost two years later — in Las Vegas, of course — and they signed a "post-nuptial agreement," whatever that is, a year after the wedding. We don't know the exact terms of that "post-nuptial agreement," but it clearly didn't work out well for Michael. More »

Take A Number To Grind With MJ
This photo, taken in Cabo San Lucas just a few weeks ago, proves once again that Michael Jordan, even years after retirement, continues to display the true heart of a champion. You have to admire a guy who isn't afraid to bump and grind while still smoking a cigar.

Meet Michael Jordan's Online Mistress
As you might have heard, Michael Jordan — the "head of basketball operations" for the Charlotte Bobcats, hee hee — recently filed for divorce from his wife Juanita. He has been rumored to be involved in affairs for years, and now he's officially getting the Olbermann treatment: Someone has set up a Michael Jordan Mistress blog. The woman's name is Lisa Miceli, though a Web search makes it difficult to verify that as a feasible name of a Jordan mistress. It's still pretty entertaining, though. More »

Hey, Somebody Wake Up Jordan Already
As we enter Day, what, 15? of the Where's Iverson Gonna Get Traded? countdown — we think it's a shame they can't find a way to get him to Minnesota, and we can't fathom why it makes sense to send him to Boston — we look back at yesterday's big news. Supposedly, Iverson turned down a trade to the Charlotte Bobcats, though the team has denied the story, wisely, because it's probably not a good thing when word gets out that no one wants to play for you.

Jordan Banned From Mountainous Region Of Western U.S.?
There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth last month at the news of Michael Jordan's acrobatic withdrawal from the American Century Championship Celebrity Golf Tournament at Stateline, Nev. Particularly annoying for many fans who had devoted large hunks of time — and considerable coin — to get to the tournament to see him was the fact that Jordan bailed only two days before the event.

Deadspin Field Trip: Tahoe Celebrity Golf Tournament
Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at a real celebrity golf tournament? Yeah, neither have we. But because it's right next door to two major casinos, we are proud to report that Deadspin associate editor Rick Chandler, who does more work around here than people realize, is going to attend The American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Stateline, Nev., this week. The tournament gets underway on Friday, but practice rounds begin tomorrow, and that's when the fun commences. Now, be aware that when Rick says he's "going to attend," what he really means is "he knows where there's a hole in the fence large enough for a person to squeeze through." More »
