Vince Carter has played a mere 101 minutes this year and has only hit seven threes, but this one should count double. The Grizzlies lost, but the Hawks didn’t hit any shots nearly as cool as this. ...
Aaron Rodgers's Throwing Shoulder Is "Banged Up"
If this doesn’t fully explain Aaron Rodgers’s (relative) struggles this season, it sure goes a hell of a lot further than hypotheticals about his girlfriend.

The Rams Finally Bench Nick Foles
That it’s taken this long for the Rams to make the switch from Nick Foles, who has led St. Louis to league-worst marks in just about every passing metric, is more a testament to the fact that Plan B isn’t very attractive either. But at 4-5, they aren’t out of things yet, so why not put up a Hail Mar...
Martellus Bennett Roasts The Rams
The Bears, despite any strange injury shenanigans, played their best game of the year down in St. Louis as they left with a 37-13 win.

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. Chiraq is a nickname for the parts of Chicago in which gun and gang violence are so rampant that they resemble a war zone. There are a whole...

The truth is that all sorts of weirdos get to be pop stars nowadays, and that should excite you whether you like pop stars or weirdos.

<i>Infernal Affairs </i>Can't Escape <i>The Departed</i>'s Shadow, But Watch It Anyway
Hong Kong action-movie directors have picked up a lot from Martin Scorsese. Think of John Woo in particular: the brotherly criminal-underworld bonding in A Better Tomorrow, the gliding camera moves of The Killer, that endless and amazing tracking shot in Hard Boiled. When you consider that Woo basic...
Reports: The Detroit Lions Are Cleaning House
The Detroit Lions have a long history of sucking, but in recent seasons, the team broke tradition and tried winning.
