No One Invited You, Chris Brown
Something kinda weird happened yesterday: A remix of Beyoncé's "Jealous" featuring none other than known garbage man Chris Brown randomly popped up on the internet. It's odd, because Beyoncé would presumably and rightfully never work with C-Breezy. His bland verse offers nothing to the song, and the...
Bone Broth Is Hot Ham Water
Food trends are an easy thing to hate. They immediately conjure up thoughts of "foodie" culture, $6 cupcakes, and the insufferable idiots who invented kale. But some trends are important and genuinely advance the way we eat. Twenty years ago, cheap Mexican food meant Taco Bell, ramen was $.02 wo...
The Knicks Were Sadder Than Usual Last Night
The Knicks fell to the Nets, 100-98. I hope you didn’t watch, because the destination sure as hell wasn’t worth the journey. The Knicks are 47 games under .500, while the Nets are 34-40 and in playoff position. (The East is unwatchable.) ...

Browns Fined And GM Suspended For Being Supremely Dysfunctional
Because it's only like the 16th most interesting thing to happen to the Browns in the last year, and because the Falcons are being punished—more harshly—at the exact same time, this latest Cleveland mini-fiasco threatens to fly under the radar. Do not let it. It's a perfect example of the team bein...

The Worst Part Of Xavier's Loss Is No More Matt Stainbrook

Spring Breaker Starts Fight, Flees, Receives Karmic Comeuppance
It's hard to believe that the knob in this video, who embodies every spring break stereotype—neon tank top, bad sandals, dumb sunglasses, urging other bros to come at him while he backs away—is even real, but here we are. I won't spoil what happens, but get ready to wish you had been there to laugh ...

The Thunder Hold A Tight Grip On Their Players' Media Availability
