The Browns Still Won't Commit To Johnny Manziel, For Some Reason
Johnny Manziel’s final stat line from last night’s game against the Bengals—15-of-33 for 168 yards and one touchdown—was built mostly off of Manziel’s solid first half, and isn’t the kind of line that would normally guarantee a starting role in the next game. But on a 2-7 team whose only other optio...
Kyle Turley: "Suicidal And Homicidal Tendencies Became A Part Of My Daily Living"
Former NFL offensive lineman Kyle Turley appeared on Highly Questionable today to push for more research into the usage of marijuana to treat football injuries, instead of pharmaceuticals.

Allow The Buffalo Sabres To Tell You Why Drugs Are Bad
Here’s a slice from the past: What appears to be the 1985 Buffalo Sabres sang an anti-drug song for the children. A nice person uploaded it to YouTube so we could all enjoy the hockey hair and awkward dancing....
Will Kobe Bryant Survive This Season?
The early part of the NBA season has been defined by a torrent of incredible Steph Curry highlights and an alternate, uglier torrent of Kobe Bryant lowlights, wherein the Lakers superstar is hopelessly air-balling shot after shot as his teammates—still regarded by Kobe as mere assistants—look on hel...
<i>The Peanuts Movie </i>Is Faithful To Charles Schulz's Creation, But Still Gets It Wrong
Back in 1997, when L.A. Weekly critic Manohla Dargis gave a negative review to The Lost World, the hotly-anticipated sequel to Jurassic Park, she noted that not liking the movie was the equivalent of announcing that Christmas had been canceled to its fans. In kind, giving a thumbs-down to The Peanut...
This Shot May Not Have Counted, But It's Still Cool As Hell
Unfortunately for Celtics forward Jae Crowder, there’s some sort of rule against heaving a full-court inbound pass straight into the bucket. This rule is clearly stupid, and Crowder should have been awarded five points. ...
Chris Stapleton Is Your New "Real Country Music" Savior
So the 49th-annual Country Music Association Awards—the Grammys for people who hate ObamaCare, basically—went down last night, and the guy in this video won all the important ones. (Not Justin Timberlake; the other one, the burly, hirsute fella who looks like an extra in that new movie where Leonard...
Kobe Bryant Gets The <i>NBA Jam</i> Treatment, And He's Not Exactly On Fire
I can’t tell if these tears coming down my face are ones of laughter or sadness, but I’m crying all the same....
Bradley Beal Sinks Spurs With Game-Winning Three
The Wizards are a popular dark horse pick to emerge from the Eastern Conference and they showed why tonight, beating the Spurs 102-99 on a Bradley Beal three-pointer with just 0.3 seconds remaining. LaMarcus Aldridge does not look good on this possession, likely because of some sort of blown communi...
Brady Quinn Thinks PED Use Might Explain The NFL's Injury Epidemic
It was a brutal week in the NFL. The cart came out too many times, and we saw season-ending injuries to the likes of Steve Smith, Le’Veon Bell, Keenan Allen, Reggie Bush, Khiry Robinson, and Cameron Wake. Was it a rash of bad luck? Former NFL QB Brady Quinn wonders if it isn’t something more siniste...
Bruins Forward Chris Kelly Fractures Femur On Non-Contact Play
The above video of Bruins forward Chris Kelly suffering a non-contact injury against the Stars tonight doesn’t look too bad—though you never know with ligament and joint injuries—and after a few minutes of examination he hobbled off the ice. But as it turns out, the injury was indeed very, very bad,...
Stone's Goofy New Carrot-Cake Beer Is Pretty Good!
After cleaning the ceiling fans on Monday and ordering new sweatpants yesterday, just a single item remains on my 2015 to-do list, and I don’t think I’m going to get around to it. I really figured this was going to be the year I finally learned how to brew my own beer, but a lack of space and gumpti...
How <i>A Brief History Of Seven Killings</i> Embodies The Real Jamaica
Jamaica’s biannual Calabash International Literary Festival is held in Treasure Beach, on the southwestern coast of the island. It’s the kind of stereotypically beautiful place most people—especially tourists—think of when asked to picture Jamaica. Once a year, the town setting hosts readings from w...
Jerry Jones Spends About A Minute Rambling About Monkeys
Last week, Dez Bryant posted a photo on Instagram of his “new best friend,” a monkey named Dallas Bryant. When PETA found out, it demanded that Bryant relinquish the illegal pet monkey, but there wasn’t proof that the Cowboys receiver actually possessed Dallas. DeSoto, Texas police investigated, and...
John Brown And The Cardinals Despise Your Fantasy Team
Arizona wide receiver John Brown was questionable with a bum hamstring before he was declared active for yesterday’s game, a 34-20 win in Cleveland, but spent the game a-mouldering on the sideline. Who knows why he didn’t play? Bruce Arians spoke about discovering and developing his WR depth and dis...
Kobe Bryant: I Suck
Late-stage Kobe Bryant, while proven to be entertaining in his own particular way, is not a very effective basketball player. He was hilariously bad before tearing his rotator cuff last year, and he’s continued to be very bad through the first five games of this season. This fact is not lost on Kobe...
The Broncos' Shutdown Defense Made Aaron Rodgers Look Human
The Denver Broncos made a drastic change to their philosophy in one offseason. Peyton Manning no longer scores absurd amounts of points to give the team a large margin of error. The 2015 Broncos are defense-first, and they showed how far they’ve come Sunday night as they shut down Packers quarterbac...
