Creaks And Reeks. Judd Apatow's <em>This Is 40</em>, Reviewed.
In recent years, critics have pegged writer-director Judd Apatow as the next James L. Brooks. That's meant to be high praise.

Alex Smith Has A Good Shot At Setting An NFL Passing Record This Season
It's been more than a month since Colin Kaepernick became the man in San Francisco.

Four 4chan Users Won A Contest To Meet Arian Foster
The above image shows five 4chan users, the one in the middle being a running back for the Houston Texans.

San Francisco 41, New England 34: The 49ers and Patriots got together to play a football game tonight and, since the first one they tried sucked, they obligingly scrapped it and started a new one with 10 minutes left in the third quarter.

A Soccer Match Between Teams From Argentina And Brazil Ended Early Because Police Beat And Threatened The Argentine Team In Their Locker Room At Halftime
This happened a couple of days ago, but we missed it with everything else going on.

Broncos, 26, Raiders 13: Raiders fans really do deserve better than this team, and I say that not as someone who lives among many of them but solely as an interested football observer.

At Least Two Players Had No Idea Rams-49ers Could End In A Tie
A tie! Nothing brings more joy to fans of novelty, more consternation to playoff-scenario-figure-outers, or more mercy to viewers than a tie.

1. Like Grierson, I'm a sucker for the Paranormal Activity films. I don't care that their stories don't make sense, that apparently there's some sort of mythology tying everything together behind them, that no one ever, ever turns that goddamned camera off. These movies work not as movies—they're ba...
