Broner Bout Prime Opportunity For Marv Albert Commentary
What is there left to be said about Adrien Broner? We've shared plenty of our own words on "The Problem," and brought you a few of his too. But Broner's bout against John Molina Jr. on national NBC tonight brought veteran sportscaster Marv Albert to the mic, and the combination really made for a s...
Belmont Knocks Off Murray State In Bonkers OVC Finale
Belmont earned this year's first NCAA tournament invite when the Bruins ended the nation's second-longest win streak in knocking off Murray State via a Taylor Barnette three-pointer with four seconds remaining.

Hanner Mosquera-Perea Throws Down Thunderous Tip Slam For Indiana
Indiana's locked in a crucial struggle today with Michigan State at Assembly Hall, and if momentum will determine the victor then the Hoosiers got a big early edge when Hanner Mosquera-Perea threw down this devastating tip slam in the first half....
No Big Deal, Just Stephen Curry Dishing Another Unbelievable Pass
Stephen Curry completes passes that nobody else even thinks of. A fake behind-the-back to offhand wraparound pass isn't something you see every day, or any day. Watch Draymond Green sitting on the three-point line and Klay Thompson diving into the paint behind a ball-watching Monta Ellis, and on a...

Landon Donovan Makes MLS Announcing Debut—In Spanish

Holy Shit! A Decent European Lager!
I am a white American male, and thus privileged. I do not use "privilege" as a pejorative. It's an awesome experience. I can't recommend it highly enough. My peers who try to talk their way around acknowledging the obvious tend to do so by pointing out that there are degrees of privilege. This is tr...
Like <i>Short Circuit </i>For Knuckleheads: <i>Chappie, </i>Reviewed
1. District 9, the 2009 full-length debut from South African writer-director Neill Blomkamp, gave us an entirely new way of thinking about science-fiction movies. I wasn't as crazy about it as most other critics, but you couldn't deny that it was trying something different, creating an alternate u...
Stouts Are The Best Beers
I love stouts. It could be 120 degrees in the dead of summer, and I'll still opt for one every time. Ice-cold water or a refreshing iced tea? Hell, no. Light, tasty pilsner? Thanks, but I'll pass. A black-as-used-motor-oil-and-just-as-thick Russian Imperial? Ah, yes, that'll hit the spot....
Five Boozy Hot-Drink Recipes To Enjoy During This Neverending Winter
It's snowing again. That's true of the place where I live, and probably of the place where you live, because apparently, Mother Nature and Father Time have colluded to ensure that this winter will never end, ever. As if all this snow weren't enough, we'll spend the next seven or so years hearing...
NCAA Suspends Jim Boeheim Nine Games, Revokes Scholarships
The NCAA has handed down its punishment against Syracuse University for a series of self-reported violations that took place over the last decade. In the NCAA's terms, the school is being punished for failing to "control and monitor" its athletics programs, and men's head basketball coach Jim Boeh...
Let's All Be More Like This Large Fellow Who Slapped Joakim Noah's Ass
You might be tempted to call E'Twaun Moore's game-winning three the highlight of last night's contest between the Thunder and Bulls, but I submit that the night's truly transcendent moment occurred on the ensuing possession, when a portly Bulls fan lost all notion of etiquette and got himself a big ...
Vin Diesel's Gloriously Absurd <i>XXX </i>Is Mountain Dew For The Soul
XXX, the fantastically stupid Vin Diesel vehicle from 2002, starts with a shaky premise: James Bond is done. The world has changed, and he can't survive. You can understand how someone might've arrived at that conclusion. The Pierce Brosnan era was nearing its bloated end, and Die Another Day, with ...
