Do you guys plan on having any content for the World Cup? If so, I run a soccer/pop culture fusion site called The Yanks Are Coming (yanksarecoming.com). Check it out, it doesn't suck. Getting to the point, I'd like to contribute some original soccer content for Deadspin. I've been published on CBS News and Yahoo (how sexy, right?) Let me know, love your site. - Dan (dan@yanksarecoming.com)

Mark McGwire and his brother haven't spoken for 8 years because of a tickling incident.
The brothers haven't spoken since 2002. They fell out after Jay McGwire's stepson, Eric, tickled Mark and caused Mark to spill coffee on himself. Mark then swatted Eric on the backside. Jay's wife, Francine, then refused to attend Mark's wedding.
