Hey, quick announcement: I’ve been added to the roster of another sports blog, the baseball-centric 310 to Joba. What does this mean for this site? For now its being shut down. I’m keeping the domain name, and may start it up again, but for now my time is split between the new digs and The Rookies, and I’m not sure I can do all three justice. So check me out at either of those links, it should be fun.
Oh yeah, the new one is run by a bunch of Yankee fans, so I apologize in advance.

Hey world, I’m still going to be writing here, don’t worry, but I haven’t been around much recently because I’ve been involved in a new project. Its a site thats been up and running for about two weeks now, and I feel great about it. Its a blog written by mtself and about 15 other Deadspin commenters that are in college or under 21. Its called “The Rookies” and can be found here. I write under the handle “LittleWaynesBleedingHead”
I apologize in advance for the number one post right now, its really our first NSFW one, also, though we frown on profanity as a crutch, occasionally it gets in there, sorry.

I was half right. Better than Simmons anyway.
I’ll try and put up at least two new posts later in the week.
In the meantime go Cardinals and may the Fitz be with you!

NFC Match-up: Philadelphia Eagles at Arizona Cardinals, the basis for the current Deadspin Civil War.
Arizona Cardinals: Typing the words “Arizona Cardinals” just now was one of the more surreal moments of my life. For years we’ve known there was talent on the Arizona roster, with the Dynamic Duo of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin catching passes from an aging, but still serviceable Kurt Warner. The problem had been a lack of defense and a solid running game, the latter of which was NOT solved by Edge James, but they have found a decent enough stable of running backs to keep defenses on their heels enough for the passing game to flourish. And while the defense isn’t going to set the world on fire, guys like Bertrand Berry, Karlos Dansby, Adrian Wilson, and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie-Smithington-James III are all defensive playmakers that have stepped up so far in the playoffs (just ask Jake Delhomme). Throw Steve Breaston (do you realize he had over 1,000 receiving yards? One of 3 receivers on this squad that reached that number) and his kick-return prowess and this is a dangerous team that can score a lot of points really fast. Continue Reading »

So yeah…it hasn’t been the best of weeks for Indy fans. To review:
1. Newly minted MVP Peyton Manning officially becomes more relevant because of his commercials than his play by leading the Colts to a 23-17 overtime loss to San Diego.
2. A second witness has spoken up in the Marvin Harrison shooting case.
3. Tony Dungy retires.
At this point one must ask what else could possibly go wrong? Reggie Wayne slips on a soup spoon and gets hit by a bus? Adam Vinatieri decides to live in isolation as a Buddhist monk? Bob Sanders becomes injury prone (wait a minute…)?
And its not like the Pacers are helping matters much.
But keep your chin up Indianapolis, it could always be worse, you could be Seattle.

Well, Bowl Season is now officially over after Tim Tebow and the American sprint team defeated Oklahoma last night, which is also the end of the College Football season. That being said, I figured I’d come up with a post to celebrate. After wracking my brains for all of fifteen minutes I was finally struck by a flash of inspiration. And that leads us all to this: my predictions for the future of the big name underclassmen entering the NFL draft. Continue Reading »

Well, I’ve moved again, hopefully this is the last time. Anyone interested in some of my older work can find it here. Not going to start with a big long post today, but I will be doing a live blog of tomorrow’s BCS National Championship game, so see you then.
