Film-Themed Ohio State Band Performance Features T-Rex Eating Someone

Why Are NFL Statheads Struggling So Much With Their Picks This Year?
It's still relatively early in the NFL season, but signs point to this being one of the worst seasons ever for simulation & statistics based predictors of game results.

Keith Olbermann On Why No One Watches Baseball Anymore
Wednesday's Game 1 drew 14.4 million viewers. That's slightly up from last year's Game 1, but 2012 was the least-watched Fall Classic of all time.
