Gilbert Arenas Smashes His Own Car With A Cinder Block
This is a strange one, though seeing as it involves Gilbert Arenas that probably should have been assumed. Earlier today, Arenas posted a video to his Instagram account.

Some Very Aggressive Kissing On The Kiss Cam At Oracle Tonight
The Kiss Cam is overused as an in-arena gimmick, but the camera/jumbotron operator at Oracle Arena tonight for Game 1 of the NBA Finals did something I haven’t seen before, which was to keep the camera trained on couples after they had already kissed. It resulted in some, uhh, very enthusiastic kiss...
Let's Watch Some Dudes In Chicago Engage In Roman Candle Warfare
You haven’t lived if you haven’t engaged in the highly dangerous yet thrilling pastime of fighting with fireworks.

Henrik Lundqvist isn’t supposed to lose Game 7. And to be fair, New York’s 2-0 loss to Tampa Bay last night was in no way Lundqvist’s fault. For two periods New York’s attack was ineffectual, and its defense allowed the Lightning to get off a number of quality shots. Lundqvist saved them all. Even t...
Supercut: <i>Daredevil</i>'s Gumshoe-Journalist Subplot Is Butt
Netflix’s Daredevil is mostly bad. Sure, there are some good fight scenes, but the corny story arcs and bad acting that burden the first season makes it a better fit on the CW or ABC Family. And nothing in the first season is more cringe-worthy than the storyline concerning a grizzled old newspaper ...
