As a self-professed homer, the one thing I can’t stand is a bandwagon jumper. I live and die with my teams, and I hate it when I see someone suddenly and inexplicably become a fan of the next hottest team. It’s just not right.
But it does make me wonder what all those brand new Patriots […]

Members of DeepSlant Nation may have noticed that we’ve refrained from discussing the Major League Baseball performance-enhancing drug clusterfuck for the most part. Mostly because we’re sick of the media’s 24/7 coverage of the damn thing.
But let me recap what’s happened on this front so far this year. Somehow, a former US Senator became an […]

Last Friday, I posted a story previewing the weekend’s big college basketball games. I decided not to make predictions - the last reason of which is that I am not overly fond of making predictions. But had I done so, I would’ve gone 3-2.
Here’s how I would’ve predicted the games:
Indiana over Michigan State, 68-62. Pitt over […]

Last night, two future first-ballot Hall of Famers suited up for their new teams. Of course, we homers at DeepSlant were all over it. I followed the Jason Kidd debut as the Mavs traveled to play the Hornets, and I gave R-Dawg-The-Suns-Homer a shot at covering Shaq’s debut against the Lakers. Stay tuned to see […]

Editor’s Note: DeepSlant welcomes aboard Justine S. Justine will be providing frequent first person accounts throughout the golf season.
Golf widow - A woman whose husband leaves her for long periods of time to play golf.
Let me begin by saying there are worse things for a person to have an affinity for i.e. drugs, gambling, late […]

In the dunk contest, you KNOW something sick is gonna go down, you just don’t know what. There’s really nothing like the build up and then the finality of a dunk. One man, one ball, one rim, how high can you go, how hard can you stuff.
The buzz was back about the dunk contest this year, and in that spirit, I’ll be bringing you my thoughts on All Star Saturday (the dunk contest comes after the Three Point shootout, the Skills Challenge, and something called the Shooting Stars competition) in a pseudo live blog.

I’ve been kicked in the sports nuts. Again. This time by Devean George.
This week has been a complete rollercoaster for me. Last Sunday night I wrote about watching Jason Kidd in person, and how he’s still got it after 14 years. Then I thought that he’d be getting it in a Dallas Mavericks uniform once […]

Pitchers and catchers are heading to Florida and Arizona this week and I can’t wait for the baseball season to begin.
But before we get into a preview of the Senior Circuit, I feel like I have to come clean with something. I am going to admit that after the Mets’ brutal collapse last year, I quietly swore off of baseball for […]

Kelvin Sampson may have gone and done it again. The scandalmonger’s heir to Jim Harrick and Eddie Sutton is back in hot water, this time at Indiana, which took a chance on the former Sooners coach, knowing full well his history of transgressions at Oklahoma. According to ESPN.com, “the allegations stem from a phone-call scandal […]

It’s one thing to trade youth for toughness and experience, it’s another to potentially mortgage the next five years for a marginally greater chance at a championship.
Since the arrival of Avery Johnson two and a half years ago, Mark Cuban stopped tinkering with the roster, went the Spurs’ route and came about as close as you can come to winning it all. Find a core, build chemistry and work your system. The Spurs have stuck with their method for years, aren’t the Mavs giving up too early?

In honor of the masses’ perceived wishes for a college football playoff (a sentiment not entirely shared by your humble narrator), I won’t be doing Top 25 lists. Here we present a super deluxe early post-signing day/NFL declaration Elite Eight, a projection of which teams would make an 8-team playoff. I’m taking the existing BCS […]

Sometimes something happens and you have to stop and step outside the lines that delineate the athletic field for a bit. They are just games, after all.
I don’t know Kenechi Udeze at all, not personally, and not as a fan. I’d barely even heard of him outside the fact that he plays defensive end for […]

New York’s beloved John Rocker is in the news again, this time claiming he took steroids in 2000 and MLB Commissioner Bud Selig turned a blind eye toward him despite knowing about his actions.
Rocker is a degenerate prick whose statements have no consequence in the steroid investigation. Bud Selig, as much as I dislike him and as […]

As cold as it is in New York today, I can’t fight this warm and fuzzy feeling I have inside. Members of Deepslant Nation, I am happy to announce that any reports of the demise of the NBA are gravely mistaken. NBA basketball is still faaaan-tastic!
My buddy R-Dawg scored these SICK tickets to Sunday night’s […]

Don’t let all the Super Tuesday primary headlines fool you. February 6th - National Signing Day is one of the most anticipated days on the collegiate calendar. The masses quiver as they read the write-ups on some 17-18yr old who faxed a Letter of Intent to their favorite team. There are no Red or Blue […]
