The NFL Is Dumping Bad News On Us While Nobody Is Paying Attention

Is Fasting For Ramadan Dangerous At The World Cup?
It's bad enough that these guys have to play in the Amazon.

David Ortiz Takes Off For First Before Ball Four Is Thrown
Some might say this was another dick move by Ortiz, walking to first before actually being walked. I would not! Last night's 2-1 Cubs win somehow took 3:35, and I am in favor of anything that makes Red Sox games shorter....

The Definitive List Of Excuses For Day Drinking
I missed one of the World Cup games the other day due to family obligations, so I caught up on highlights that night when ESPN did a cut-and-paste re-broadcast of game highlights on ESPN FC, with an anchor introducing the clips like it was an episode of Masterpiece Theater. "When we last left Brazil...
The Grierson & Leitch Top 12 Movies Of The First Half Of 2014
As of today, we are halfway through 2014. Most of your "prestige" movies aren't out yet—only a third of our top 10s last year were from the first half of 2013 —but that doesn't mean this year's first six months didn't have its delights. Surprisingly, many of the standouts were bigger-budgeted studio...

CityNews reporter Natalie Duddridge had one hell of a day at the office yesterday.

Chile Recover From Own-Goal To Equalize Brazil
The first half of Brazil-Chile was a bit of a nail-biter for the hosts. It ended 1-1, but Brazil could easily be down 2-1 or even 2-0. Brazil's first goal, off a Neymar corner kick, was initially given to David Luiz—which would be his first goal ever in 40 caps for Brazil—but it sure looks like it w...
