How can anyone root against Steph Curry? I’ll tell you howI tend to cringe when NBA pundits incredulously ask, “How could anyone root against Steph Curry?!” I’m not a LeBron true believer, here to disparage the greatest shooter in the history of the game. He’s incredible. The hand-eye coordination is something out of Star Wars. When little Anakin Skywalker...

A girl was abducted at a Mavs game and found 200 miles away being trafficked for sexI don’t delve into the macabre often. I don’t even watch Law & Order. Thinking about monstrous people isn’t something I enjoy. I understand the obsession with true crime, but podcasts featuring tales of sex trafficking, torture, murder, and rape are the last thing I associate with relaxation....

Liam Neeson's Slightly Diminishing Skills: <i>Run All Night</i>, ReviewedCritics may not like Liam Neeson's action movies, but that hasn't translated into folks not liking him for making them. Unlike, say, Johnny Depp and his endless array of "zany" characters or Nicolas Cage and his pitiful cornucopia of forgettable doing-it-for-the-paycheck roles, he hasn't become ...

The Badass-Action-Hero Rebirth Of Liam Neeson

Does anybody else remember when Liam Neeson was kind of a wimp?

"Are We Live? Oh Shit." Liam Neeson Appears On <em>SportsCenter</em> And Has Absolutely No Idea What He's Being Asked

Liam Neeson dragged himself onto SportsCenter yesterday to pimp Taken 2 and wow. Has there ever been a guest on SportsCenter who was so unprepared to be a guest on SportsCenter? Neeson didn't like where it was headed from the get-go—he was being asked about the Jets—and wanted to start over. But w...

God Bless Liam Neeson, He Sure Does Try. <em>Taken 2</em>, Reviewed.

If you liked the first Taken, it was probably because of Liam Neeson.

Anyone ...
