The Best And Worst Of Dr. Seuss
I read a lot of children’s books. Some are terrible, many are decent, and a few are truly wonderful. Most authors don’t have the staying power to slot multiple entries in all three categories while achieving worldwide fame and fortune; in fact, Dr. Seuss is the only one that comes to mind....
A New Danny Brown Song! (Finally!)
Rapper and evolving-hairstyle-with-a-tongue Danny Brown has had a relatively quiet 2015, but today, the Detroit emcee is back with a new track called “Worth It,” a collab with producer Clams Casino. It’s not like he’s been totally silent this year, but I’m glad to hear from the guy anyway....
Attempt To Ride Bike In Flood Results In Taking Header On Live TV
If you haven’t heard, the Tampa Bay area’s been under a siege of precipitation for weeks, culminating today in flooding throughout the South Tampa area and even up north into Pasco County. It’s wreaked havoc on the Buccaneers’ practice schedule and most people’s work schedules, and here’s someone wh...
Let <i>True Detective</i>'s Total Absurdity Wash All Over You
Apologies if these thoughts on last night’s penultimate episode of True Detective come off as disjointed and confusing, though that would be a fitting homage to this entire season, but man, this show is a marvelous disaster. That lousy first episode was a sign of things to come....
The Leery Beginner's Guide To Yoga
I’ve never been more terrified about farting accidentally than I was before my first yoga class. It didn’t matter that I had been doing yoga in the comfort of my apartment for five (mostly) flatulence free months. The thing that I was most worried about when I walked into the modest yoga studio in m...
Somebody Fucked With The Spurs Jesus
When Spurs Jesus got burglarized last month, he didn’t turn the other cheek, and he didn’t forgive his (literal) trespassor. Because he’s not actually Jesus, he’s just a weird San Antonio fan who pretends to be Christ. ...

Brad Keselowski Ran Over His Own Pit Crew
Things could barely have gone worse for Brad Keselowski today at Pocono as his 57th-lap stop turned into carnage, throwing bodies, a jack, and a wheel across the pit lane. ...
José Mourinho Has No Use For This Loser's Medal, Or For Arsène Wenger
Arsenal beat Chelsea 1-0 today to win their second straight Community Shield, and it appears Chelsea manager José Mourinho has about as much use for the match as the rest of us. Here he is avoiding congratulating rival manager Arsène Wenger and then throwing his second-place medal up into the crowd....
Johannes Geis Hammers Home Long-Range Free Kick <i>Golazo</i>
Schalke 04 up-and-comer Johannes Geis gave the supporters in Gelsenkirchen something to anticipate for the forthcoming season as he drilled a perfect free kick into the corner of the net during today’s friendly against Dutch side Twente. Schalke just signed Geis to a four-year contract, and if he ca...

Hakeem Olajuwon Was Something Else In College, Man
Today the NBA played the league’s first-ever game in Africa, pitting “Team World” against “Team Africa” in Johannesburg. The game—which managed to be largely boring, yet still a breath of fresh air in the final dog days of summer—was won by Team World, 101-97, and featured one nostalgic and genuinel...
How To Make Perlo, The Deep South's Best Take On Chicken And Rice
Here’s the thing about South Carolina: if you drive far enough inland from the ocean, you will run out of fingers on which to count highway billboards threatening you with ultimatums like “Accept Jesus Or Burn In Hell.” Not a whole lot to recommend the place once you get out of earshot of the surf....
Cryin' Wilmer Flores, Still A Met, Hits 12th-Inning Walkoff
Two days ago Wilmer Flores was crying on the field, thinking the Mets had traded him away. Tonight, the shortstop cranked a 12th-inning walkoff to give his team—still the Mets—a 2-1 win over Washington....

The David Foster Wallace Movie Gets Our Vision Of Him Right, At Least
The End of the Tour, a drama about a five-day interview/road trip that took place between novelist David Foster Wallace and Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky in 1996, has already received significant pushback from those closest to the late author, who committed suicide in 2008. Wallace’s estate an...
