The United States Cap-Tied Two Very Good Dual Nationals Last Night
The United States started off their World Cup Qualifying campaign in St. Louis last night with a 6-1 win against Caribbean minnows St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Rex Ryan Was Fuckin' Pumped About Beating The Jets, And That's Just Fine
Rex Ryan just can’t help himself.

<i>Skin Trade </i>Lets<i> </i>Dolph Lundgren Cook, And For A Dumb Action Flick, That's Enough
Dolph Lundgren has had a couple of cups of coffee with the American pop-cultural psyche: haughtily sneering over Apollo Creed’s death in Rocky IV, wearing a necklace of severed ears in Universal Soldier, that sort of thing. But he never crossed over to the upper tier of action stars, and it’s hard t...

WADA Report: Drug Testing Works, But Bribery Works Better
The corruption at the top of track and field and the institutionalized doping miasma makes me tired. It’s supposed to. If it is ugly and confusing enough, lousy with unintelligible acronyms, most observers will just say, The hell with it, they’re all juiced to the gills, and most athletes will say, ...
Hey, Cool, DeMarcus Cousins Shoots Threes Now
One of the fun things about the beginning of the NBA season is taking stock of the various new wrinkles that players have added to their games. Sometimes this means marveling at Kevin Durant’s new one-legged turnaround jumper, and sometimes it means being delighted by Boogie Cousins launching threes...

Godsmack Vocalist Taunts Seahawks Fans At Washington Show
Godsmack vocalist Salvatore “Sully” Erna is from Massachusetts, and he loves the Patriots. Surprising, right? At the band’s Nov. 4 show in Yakima, Wash., he acknowledged Seattle Seahawks fans in the crowd, and improvised a song about how the team sucks “big fuckin’ dick.”...
Can We Get Héctor Bellerín And Nacho Monreal To Commentate All Soccer Games Now?
Bellerín and Monreal are perfect complements here. The younger Spaniard flexes his wit (“I’ve got Peter Crouch’s younger brother next to me...”; “After all the time he [Olivier Giroud] spent doing his hair, I think he deserved it [the goal], didn’t he?”) with his hilarious 70% Cockney, 30% Spanish a...
This Terrible New Song From Spike Lee's <i>Chi-Raq</i> Can't Possibly Be Real
Okay, so when I first heard that Spike Lee was making a movie called Chi-Raq, I was a bit suspicious, given that his prolificacy makes him kind of hit-or-miss.
