Your Early Game College Football Open Thread

Cornell Business School: Home Of All Sorts Of Savory Juices

Sammy Sosa Re-emerges As Shiny-Suited Latino Zombie
I have no idea what strange transformation Mr. Sosa is going through, but it's obvious that, yes, something is seriously messed up with Slammin' Sammy's pigmentation. Guesses include botched plastic surgery to vitiligo to "really bad make up" but unless Mr. Sosa...
Donald Sterling Continues To Get Away With Being The Most Evil Man In Sports
Racist greedhead Donald Sterling will pay $2.73 million to settle a federal housing bias lawsuit accusing him of all kinds of sleazy and thuggish behavior, none of which matters in David Stern's NBA if you're an owner. The settlement is said to be the largest of its kind. Dan...
Chris Dudley Will Rebuild Oregon Brick By Brick

newVideoPlayer("/Phillie_Phan_Sues1.flv", 500, 375,""); We get a massive amount of tips in our inbox each week. Some are pretty interesting, but don't get published for one reason or another It's usually because they're just so absurd or really lack...
Fu*k Your Parade, Yankees

Elizabeth Lambert Is Now America's Greatest Villain
The internet is both titillated and enraged (pretty standard for the internet, actually) over the video of an angelic young soccer player nearly decapitating her opponent via ponytail yanking. But does she deserve your scorn or your pity? Junior Elizabeth Lambert is the Loco Lobo who...
John. Cougar. Mormon Camp.
Via Spencer Hall and Shaggy Bevo comes this delightfully misplaced piece of Cougar Tail. I believe we call that positioning the Five O'Clock ****.
Searching For..."I LIV 4 THIS" Woman
Really. Thanks to one reader's wife who became Facebook friends with this happy "e"-less female Yankee fan last night, she's actually been found and identified. America, meet Amy Warren AKA "I LIV 4 THIS" woman. OK, I have done some further investigation...
Area Satirical Newspaper Joins Forces With Puppet-Based Humor Channel
In a move I can only pray will cut Jeff Dunham-related programming down to a more manageable 23 hours a day, The Onion and Comedy Central will be doing a sports show together. People have been trying to crack the "Daily Show for Sports" code for a while now. Versus has "...

Yankee Bromances Abundant In City Of Sleeplessness
I can't really condemn these scruffy-faced Yankee fans for their jubilant man-love after the Yankees World Series victory. I probably made out with at least three dudes at Dirty Frank's last year after the Phillies won. And, look, they were even kind enough to include the Dominican...
You Really Don't Want To See This
Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to tips@deadspin.com. Subject: Morning crap. Ok, I guess after watching that girl get her head pulled off this seems pretty tame, but I post this mostly to show solidarity with eye-gougers everywhere like...

Hockey Team Dooms Children, Elderly

I Hope No One In Philadelphia Needed To Find Anything On The Internet Today
Bing is apparently giving up on that elusive non-New York market, transforming their front page into a tribute to the Yankees. Well, they do say that rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Microsoft. [Via The Sports Hernia]
