Eminem is back after a two-year hiatus (I know you've been waiting), and his new single, We Made You, should horrify Cowboys fans. Will the indignities never end for Tony Romo? Sure, we've got appearances by Sarah Palin, Ellen DeGeneres and Kim Kardashian, but Romo/Jessica Simpson lead off by playing catch with a hamburger and nasty dancing on the General Lee; just as I imagine things happening with them in real life. A scathing indictment of celebrity excess by someone who obviously lost money in his football pool last season. I'm no huge Eminem fan, but I do appreciate the part here where Mr. Spock wanders the Enterprise and randomly uses that Vulcan neck pinch thing on everyone he passes. Here's the video, which debuted this morning on MTV, if you care to parta…

This time next week, the tournament from which we derive our structure will be over. For weeks, you’ve been flooded with lesser brackets. You’re probably already sick of the concept of brackets now, even with some basketball games left to play. In the words of 2014 naminee and Voice of the New York City Subway Bernie Wagenblast, we are sorry for any inconvenience. We’ve been late before, but we’re always proud of the bracket we eventually deliver, and this year is no different. Good food takes time to prepare, and we are offering a feast: Help yourself to some Salami Blessing, Duckens Nazon, or Tuna Altuna — and that’s just one quadrant of our spread. Please, dig in, make yourself comfortable. Let’s catch up. Did you hear about Reality Winner? She is currently being held i…

Some people are fans of the St. Louis Rams. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the St. Louis Rams. This 2015 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Your team: The St. Louis Rams… Your 2014 record: 6-10. But such a COMPETITIVE 6-10! When Jeff Fisher is your coach, you’re in all 10 of your annual losses. Feels pretty good to be a tough out! Everyone who beats the Rams walks off the field being like, “Boy, it wasn’t easy beating them for the ninth year in row!” So you’ll always have that to hang your hat on. Jim Nantz approves! “ You know, the way the game is played these days, it’s such a rarity to see something like this game, with no touchdowns, six field goals, 14 punts—and a whole lot of suspense here with six minutes to go!” Your coa…

By the end of the day, Snoop had flipped to the visiting side and, like most of the crowd in attendance, appeared happy the Texans had won. Before the game, the Chargers had Snoop on the field doing some social media stuff for them:SNOOOOOOOOP @SnoopDogg | #BoltUp pic.twitter.com/KPxMMmHcii— Los Angeles Chargers (@Chargers) September 22, 2019They had him fire off their cannon before kickoff:Snoop Dogg fires the cannon before the kickoff of today’s Chargers game. pic.twitter.com/NNSnmkdGnQ— Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) September 22, 2019Then he apparently ripped off the jersey they gave him to wear just after the game started:Snoop Dogg took off his Chargers jer…

data-mm-id=”_y9daymdvu”>Halloween is long over, but Chris Broussard is detecting scary material coming out of Los Angeles.Count the Fox Sports host among those impressed by the debut of the Kawhi Leonard-Paul George tandem for the Clippers, who took a 107-104 overtime tilt from the Boston Celtics on Wednesday at Staples Center. Broussard admitted that the grouping was "sloppy" at times — they did shoot a combined 15-for-38 from the floor — but he believes the team put the rest of the Western Conference on notice with the win."At times [Kawhi and Paul George] were sloppy… but beating a very good Boston Celtics team says that the potential for this team with these 2 is scary high." — @Chris_Broussard pic.twitter.com/LO90IVK51V— FOX Sports (@FOXSports) November…

data-mm-id=”_qyi7ezunj”>For as long as men have fought for the entertainment and money of others, people have wanted to see super fights between people of different shapes and sizes. This is what the UFC was originally based on. The toughest dudes in the world coming together to decide the title of toughest dude in the world. As the UFC evolved, weight classes were implemented and became barriers keeping certain fighters from getting it on. For years fans begged for Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva to fight, but it never happened for whatever reason. Possibly because Silva was so damn big compared to GSP. So it's kind of crazy that we're now going to talk about Silva fighting Conor McGregor, who is even smaller than GSP. Yet earlier this week, Silva suggested the fight o…

data-mm-id=”_pwkfwla72″>The Miami Dolphins left the 2020 NFL Draft with a restocked roster and, most importantly, their QB1 of the future in the form of Tua Tagovailoa. What will inevitably get lost in history is the fact that no one, in media or in football, really knew who the Dolphins wanted heading into the main event. There were conflicting reports abound about their desire for Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, and even to move up to the third overall slot to pick a tackle. After all that, they went with the most obvious and natural pick in the lefty from Alabama. From outside the building, the pre-draft process seems to have been a master class in draft smokescreening. In Albert Breer's Monday Morning QB column, he confirmed as much, sharing a tale about how head coach Brian Flore…
