We Are Impressed With These Expressions By McKayla Maroney And Barack Obama
There are some things I would be as an Olympic medalist, you tell yourself. You'd chaperone your medal to kids in hospitals, and perform random feats of strength and speed for strangers who recognized you, smiling for flip-phone camera shots in terrible lighting. You'd make sure to have a funny Loch...
Beer Of The Week: La Fin Du Monde
Add this to your bucket list: Watching a U.S. presidential election from somewhere other than the States. On Tuesday night I was about 40 miles from the border, in Vancouver, watching the election returns with Democrat ex-pats. (The party affiliation was an inevitability, as there are virtually no R...
Deshazor Everett's Name And His Interception To Beat Alabama Are Equally Fantastic
As subplots go, the Alabama-Texas A&M game had an unexpected one from the end of the first quarter through the tense final minute: an errant extra point.

Beer of the Week: 3 Monts
Basketball resumed this week, and unless you are a Houston Rockets fan, who cares. The T-Wolves at Milwaukee just ain't opening day at Wrigley.

Beer Of The Week: Cerveza Cucapa's Chupacabras Pale Ale
The weather is dimming, the days shrinking, and the bottle of Mexican-made English-style pale ale starts looking more seductive.

USC's Marqise Lee Has Shattered The PAC-12 Single-Game Receiving Record [UPDATE]

"World Series Shits To Detroit" Declares <em>Chicago Tribune</em>, Fox News, Et Al
Gather ‘round, my little dreamlets. Grandpa's going to sing of the days before every baboon with a wireless connection could vomit up a website and call it news. In those long-forgotten times, human beings would staff publications—magazines and newspapers, chiefly. But as audience habits and adverti...
Beer Of The Week: Australia's Coopers Brewery Sparkling Ale
When I dropped the six-pack of Coopers Brewery Sparkling Ale on the counter at the liquor store, the clerk immediately began singing its praises, in what sounded like an Australian accent. This was pure happy coincidence, best I could tell....
Boxer Orlando Cruz Wins First Fight After Coming Out As Gay
Well this is the feel-good story of the day. The boxer Orlando Cruz announced two weeks ago that he is gay, likely becoming the first boxer to do so during his career. And on Friday, Cruz, the WBO's fourth-ranked featherweight, successfully beat the shit out of Jorge Pazos, winning a unanimous decis...

Today Nebraska and Northwestern play their sixth game in a rivalry that began in 1902.

Among the spectators in that game, according to this delightful clipping the Northwester...
Texas A&M's Six Laterals With No Time Left Couldn't Beat LSU
Not often that an SEC tilt will give you flashbacks to a Div. III game from five years ago. But today the No. 20 Aggies started slinging laterals every which way but forward while down five and out of time against No. 6 LSU, almost raising the ghosts of Trinity vs. Millsaps....

Georgia Fan's Obituary Mourns "The Tragedy" Of Bulldogs' Loss To South Carolina Last Week
We all die. It may be peacefully as you sleep, a popped vessel that fades your dreams to black. It may be gradually over weeks, a diagnosed dénouement, a slow degenerative smolder that allows fear to give way to acceptance to give way to peace. It may be YouTubeably sudden, as the locomotive sheers ...
