Some Sweet, Sweet Charlie Weis Love, And Other Unconventional Sports Crushes
Once upon a time, a site called The Black Table had a regular feature entitled Waxing Off, in which women gathered in an online roundtable to discuss issues of the day, and also to make fun of Will Leitch's shoes. And so we got to thinking: With so many great female sports bloggers out there, why not import the idea here? It's just crazy enough to work. So behold: The latest edition of Deadspin's Waxing Off. We found some terrific female writers who were willing to pen short pieces on this week's topic: Unconventional sports crushes.
I think women are smart, don't get me wrong. But for the life of me I can't figure out how Lyle Lovett scored him some Julia Roberts. And Enza Sambataro dumps Ben Affleck for Kevin Youkilis? (room spinning, must sit down). OK ladies, explain yourselves. You have six posts in which to do so.
By the way, if you'd like to be part of the Waxing Off writing staff, email myself at Rick@Deadspin.com, or Mr. Daulerio at AJD@Deadspin.com. More »

Everything about the man seemed a bit ... off. From his wacky hair, to his glibness, to his bad jokes, to his worshipful Dallas Cowboy comments. And, of course, there was the odd apology he threw out there, after making this remark: More » -

Tony Kornheiser's Got a Stalker!
At least that's the claim that several notorious bastions of journalistic legitimacy are making.The scene: ESPN garage. The crime: Tony Kornheiser's car is stolen. The reason: TK's being stalked. Now, every Kornheiser story hasn't been legitimate around these here internet parts, but with his recent hernia surgery wouldn't now be the time for his stalker to pounce? Of course it would. And everyone knows that bald white men over 60 who dance like penguins are the leading candidates to be stalked. That's a bona fide statistic. We go to Media Bistro for the details. More » -

Norman Chad's Not Shedding Any Tears Over Kornheiser's Departure
It's been no secret that Washington Post columnist/ poker rim-shot clown Norman Chad and Tony Kornheiser have a strained relationship. Apparently, this stems back to the WaPo days of yore when a young Chad was mentored by a less bald Kornheiser who took him under his combover'd-wing. Through that relationship, careers were launched, more media exposure was attained, and yet somewhere along the lines these two had become estranged. Chad says it happened over an aborted PTI appearance and has never recovered. More » -
