Tim Tebow's Press Conference Sucked, or Why the Celebrity Headphone Trend Is Idiotic
At the end of December, a PR agency representing Tim Tebow's new signature line of Soul brand headphones—model number SL300, $299.95 retail—emailed us to invite us to a CES event at which Tebow himself would be showcasing his headphones and "speaking with the media."

An Inside Look At The Impending Flying Robot Apocalypse (And How To Put A Stop To It)
The Consumer Electronics Show, held in Vegas every year during the second-ish week in January, is an odd duck.

The Sports Video Games Of The Year
Rarely considered for overall video-game-of-the-year honors, the uncommon diversity of sports video games, and the unique demands placed on them to recreate both a real-world sport and the real-life experiences associated with it, support their own class of awards more than any other genre. These ar...

The Time Drew Brees Threw Five Picks And No Touchdown Passes: Saints-Falcons, In Two GIFs
Falcons 23, Saints 13: I'll admit, I wasn't too high on the Falcons coming into tonight's contest, which seemed not like the typical "trap game"—the Saints are way too talented to catch anyone off guard in such a respect—but it just felt like perhaps the Falcons were ripe for a reality check, havin...

D-III Player's 138 Point-Game Is A Sham Record And Shouldn't Be Celebrated By Anyone
Jack Taylor, of the Grinnell College Pioneers, scored 138 points in a game last night, against Faith Baptist Bible College. It's a mindblowing number, shattering the old NCAA mark of 113, and it's being trumpeted as one of sports' all-time individual achievements. It is not. It is bullshit. It is ju...

Division III Basketball Player Scores 138 Points In A Single Game
Jack Taylor is a 5-foot-10 guard at Grinnell College, and last night he scored 138 points in his team's game against Faith Baptist Bible.

FIBA Really Wants Three-On-Three Basketball In The 2016 Olympics
Olympic basketball is fun. But doesn't it look a little too much like NBA basketball? Sure, the lanes are were trapezoidal, and the three-point line's a little bit closer, but those tweaks are minor when compared to the upheaval that FIBA's proposed three-on-three basketball brings.
