Whiskey Smackdown: Fireball Vs. Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire
How do you know when you’ve really made it in life? It depends on who you are and what racket you’re in.

<i>Vengeance </i>Proves That French Rock Stars And Hong Kong Hitmen Can Mix
Johnny Hallyday has a fascinating, crazy face. He’s old and rich and famous enough that of course he’s had work done: His eyes are unnaturally tight, and they have that weird skin-stretched-back thing that Sylvester Stallone has these days. But those eyes themselves were already something before any...

Sixers Unveil New Uniforms, And They're Sharp
The 76ers unveiled their new uniforms last night, and they’re clean and lovely. Other than the Fierce Ben Franklin secondary logo, there’s really not much to complain about. This is a team that’s going to look good while it’s being embarrassingly bad....
Bryce Harper Leaves Game After Suffering Apparent Knee Injury [UPDATE]
Nationals slugger Bryce Harper left tonight’s game against the Rays after suffering what appears to be a knee injury in the sixth inning while attempting to make a throw home.

Resist The Summer Of Schlub

<i>Dope </i>Is A Buoyant '90s Throwback That Does Most Of The Right Things
1. Dope is a movie about ’90s hip-hop and black culture, but it feels like a throwback in other ways, too. That decade, somewhat amazingly, was the last time movies like this existed on a semi-regular basis: ambitious, original, almost-raw movies by black people about black life, aimed at a national...
