July 1, 2010 – I get a fair amount of hate mail. It comes with the territory and part of me enjoys actually reading and responding to it.

July 1, 2010 – In sports, everyone is winner—some people just win better than others. Like people who actually care about NBA free agency. You did it. You've arrived. [Deadspin]

July 1, 2010 – Because no one reads the newspaper and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and internets to bring you everything you need to know to start your day. * Somebody's watching you.... [Deadspin]

June 30, 2010 – Mitch Albom says he might write a book about sports some day. You know, if he can manage to squeeze his day job into the down time between TV appearances and production meetings. [Deadspin]

June 30, 2010 – In the last game ever at Rosenblatt Stadium, South Carolina beat UCLA in extra innings for the school's first NCAA men's championship in any sport. So now who looks stupid for wearing that hat every day for four years? [Deadspin]

June 29, 2010 – Fourteen years after leaving ESPN to launch The Daily Show, Craig Kilborn is now hosting a show that looks suspiciously like The Daily Show.

June 28, 2010 – Okay, so I've only found two videos so far, both post-game. I guess Ghanaians aren't self-absorbed enough to film themselves watching soccer in bars. [Deadspin]

June 28, 2010 – Michael Kirkham, a 6-foot-9 "lightweight," suffered a brain hemorrhage after a fight in South Carolina on Saturday and passed away this morning. He's the second MMA fighter to die after a sanctioned bout in the U.S. [Deadspin]
