Watch Your Favorite Actors Humiliate Themselves In <em>The Paperboy</em>, The Worst Movie Of The Year
In 2003, Matthew McConaughey starred in a film called Tiptoes that went straight to video. It might seem odd that this film would go straight to video, considering its cast included McConaughey, Kate Beckinsale, Gary Oldman, Patricia Arquette, and Peter Dinklage. But then you see what the film was a...
Who Is Using Nets.com To Fuel The Mark Cuban-Mikhail Prokhorov Feud?
Somehow, the New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets never owned the Nets.com web domain. (It's surprising, in this era, but it happens.) Until recently, if you tried to go to nets.com, you were redirected to CyberMesa.com, the website for "a telecommunications company with headquarters in Santa Fe, New Mexico." F...
"Team Obama Loses Early Wicket": The Romney-Obama Debate Was Like Every Sport Conceivable, According To Internet
The debate Wednesday could be compared to many things—a slow dance in which the partners are holding potato peelers to each other's throats, perhaps, or a restaurant in which you, the diner, get to watch a prep cook slow-spit on your burger before it's served—but of course everyone immediately turne...
Rockets Rookie Wants To Ride The Team Bus To Away Games

The Oakland A's Now Have Their Own Folksy Theme Song
Any good championship run needs a catchy theme song. Unfortunately, it often derives from some iteration of "Don't Stop Believin'," either the original form (see: White Sox, Chicago, 2005) or some customized version, like the San Francisco Giants adopted in 2010....

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. With that unlikely hit, the Oscar-nominated actor established himself as a tough-guy action star, a development that was surprising not because he's a bad fit for the role but, rather, because he proved really adept at it. Anyone ...
This Rap Song About Seattle Sports Might Make Your Ears Bleed
Any rap song about Seattle, or so I'm told, has to include shoutouts to all the great Emerald City sports stars, and Riff Raff provides all of them: Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr., Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, and Brian Bosworth, with a Craig Sager reference thrown in because why not? Alas, Steve Largent, Ed...
Rasheed Wallace Has Arrived At Knicks Camp. He's Wearing Clam Diggers And A Backwards Jersey
This photo comes courtesy of Seth Rosenthal's Twitter feed. We spent some time debating what one would call Sheed's pants. Highwaters? Capris? Shants? We eventually settled on clam diggers, because "clam diggers" is fun to say. Whatever their real name may be, those pants are...something....

Seth MacFarlane Hosting the Oscars? Really? A Grierson & Leitch Discussion
Yesterday, the Motion Picture Academy of America announced that Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane would be hosting this year's Oscars. This was flabbergasting news, to say the least, and it took us a day to process it. We decided to talk it out, so that when we were done, it might actually make som...

A Hornets Executive Somehow Flew Out Of New Orleans With A Loaded Handgun
As anyone who's flown anywhere in the last decade or so knows, flying can be a pain in the ass. So many restrictions on what you can and can't bring, not to mention that dreary routine of removing your belt and shoes and the loaded .38 that's registered under your wife's name. Unless you're the Horn...

Watch Kevin Love Hit A Baseball Into The Upper Deck
The video below comes from a local Fox affiliate in Minnesota, and it shows Kevin Love taking batting practice before a Twins game last Friday. And wouldn't you know it, Kevin Love is pretty damn good hitter. He's got a smooth swing for a guy who's 6-9 and doesn't play professional baseball, and th...
