Corey Johnson currently has the fourth-best bracket in America. The 20 best brackets will win $100,000 from Quicken Loans and Yahoo Sports, but Corey will not be among them.

Behold Weezer Doing Their Best Song In Jack White's Phone Booth
Yes, "Susanne." The answer to your question is "Susanne." I would disable Kinja if I could, to prevent anyone from even contesting this. Anyways, here we see Weezer (their lineup much scrambled since this tune graced the Mallrats soundtrack in 1995) re-recording it in Jack White's tiny, weird straig...

UNC Athlete Did Not Receive A-Minus On That Awful Rosa Parks Paper
This picture, which became the thumbnail for the whole UNC academic scandal, is not a picture of an A-minus paper. It's not even a picture of a completed paper.

Report: The Eagles Seriously Hated DeSean Jackson
Football fans are smarter than teams and media give them credit for.
