How did Seven Nation Army take over Italy?

It's probably the most indie sports anthem ever, but if anyone was following the 2006 World Cup then they remember the simple, ever-so-catchy bassline of The White Stripes' Seven Nation Army. It ended up dominating the whole world of sports, but it became the beloved song of the Italian fans and players.

We're a fan of Deadspin. Really, name a sports fan who isn't. With that in mind, it's certainly notable that Deadspin Editor-in-Chief has been promoted to the Editor-in-Chief of all of Gawker. To replace AJ Daulerio on Deadspin, the company pegged Tommy Craggs.

AJ Daulerio has pushed Deadspin into being arguably the largest and most important sports blog in the world.

It's summer, you're bored, your favorite blogger isn't posting as frequently, and he has not yet published his magnum opus that will forever change your life. What do you do?

Rest easy we have some recommendations to make this June, July, and August bearable. Or, rather, adorable kitten LMAO-able.

Oh man, what a title! I tried to get the gist of what I'm about to write within a few words... I guess nine will have to do.

Anyway, you may be wondering: "what's up? Why am I reading about another sports news site on a blog about the Portland Timbers?"

Since this is the inaugural edition of a new daily post, I'll give it a proper introduction!

Welcome to Orange Slices, your daily stop for a roundup of all the Houston Dynamo links and news. I'll do my best to scour the Internet and find all the news related to the Dynamo that's out there and I encourage my readers to submit stories either through the comments or via email at dtblogstaff[at]gmail.

Greek football fans are a fascinating lot, they bring a huge amount of passion to club matches and videos of the pyrotechnics uses by their Ultras tend to show up on sites like Deadspin and The Big Lead. Unfortunately, that passion can get a bit out of control, can get a bit ugly.
The dark side of Greek football passion was on display this weekend during the Greek Cup final when AEK Athens fans stormed the pitch with a minute left in the match.

Deadspin has a way of getting huge stories involving the New York Jets. The latest huge story involved Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and a 17-year-old girl who he had sex with. The 17-year-old, who is the daughter of a millionaire, has been identified as Eliza Kruger. You can see Eliza Kruger pictures below.
