Watch Jack Nicholson And Adam Sandler Dismissively Leave Another Crappy Lakers Game
It's an all too common trope to declare that one specific moment somehow encapsulates a team's entire season, but this one specific moment somehow encapsulates the Lakers' entire season: Jack Nicholson, himself an aging star that provides less and less on return as he gets older, sarcastically wav...
If There Is Anything Subtle About ESPN It's The Deception
On Friday evening, a serious dustup developed regarding the sourcing of news and ESPN's crediting practices. Jay Glazer reported that Sean Payton would be signing an extension with the New Orleans Saints. Hot on his heels were Adam Schefter and Jason La Canfora. Awful Announcing has a good breakdow...

Grierson & Leitch's Year In Review: The Year's Worst Scenes
Yes, many people are already writing their Top 10 movie lists for 2012. We're saving ours for the last week of the year, but while we wait for this full, rich, and weird movie year to end, we're going to start looking back at certain highlights. Today, it's our least-favorite individual scenes....
Paint Your Corners. Clint Eastwood's Baseball Movie, <em>Trouble With The Curve</em>, Reviewed.
1. Pretty much everything about Trouble With the Curve is a crock, but I couldn't help but like it anyway. It has a hackneyed, painfully overstructured screenplay; its motivations for its characters are stock at best and embarrassingly obvious at worst; and it knows so little about the game of baseb...
Like A Meaner, Braver, Less Funny <em>Bridesmaids</em>. <em>Bachelorette</em>, Reviewed.
1. In retrospect, the "surprising" success of Bridesmaids should have been the furthest thing from a surprise. It was a big, broad, audience-friendly comedy that made sure, in between all the poop jokes and the rampant silliness, that you liked all of its characters. It was ribald and bawdy, but nev...

ESPN's Adam Schefter Has The Most Adorable Facebook Page
Facebook rolled out its Timeline feature earlier this year, and the redesign makes the site even creepier than it was before.

Anthony "Spice" Adams On His First Love, Basketball: "Yeah I Can Fly, For A Little While"
Anthony Adams continues his endearing quest to catch on with a pro football team. Or, at the very least to gain notoriety as a total goofball who makes fun videos.

Won't Some NFL Team Please Give Anthony "Spice" Adams A Job?
Anthony Adams spent five years as a DT in Chicago, and four years in San Francisco before that. He's 32 now, toward the end of a lineman's effective lifespan, and was released by the Bears in February. He's spent the offseason trying to catch on elsewhere, so far unsuccessfully, but he's managed t...

NBC Says It Was Twitter's Idea To Kick That NBC-Critical Journalist Off Twitter

NBC's No. 1 Tweeting Critic Has Been Suspended From Twitter
Guy Adams is The Independent's Los Angeles bureau chief. During the Olympics so far, he has carved out a nice spot on the how-much-NBC's-coverage-sucks beat. Now his Twitter account has been suspended—supposedly because NBC had it cut off after he complained:...
Ready Or Not, Here Come Ads On NBA Jerseys

The Stupid, Stupid, Unforgettable Madness Of Adam Sandler. <em>That's My Boy</em>, Reviewed.
There are few things in modern cinema as reliable as an Adam Sandler movie. Since 1992, he's appeared in at least one film every year except for 1997, and just about all of them have been terrible. And yet there's something oddly comforting and exciting about the arrival of a new Sandler offering. I...
Whose Post-<i>SNL</i> Film Career Is Andy Samberg Most Likely To Have?

How To Earn A One-Game Suspension In The NHL Playoffs
Attack and repeatedly punch a defenseless player. Jump into a scuffle and pound on a defenseless player from behind, and pull his hair. Take runs at two separate players, ringing two bells on one shift. Give a cross-check shove to a player's face after he tripped your team's star....
