How To Make Beef Stroganoff, Which, Hey, Remember Beef Stroganoff?
Remember Beef Stroganoff? That gray mushroomy stuff your adult caregiver made a few times back when you were a kid, and then it vanished off the face of the earth, and then you completely forgot it existed, and now you're going, "Oh, yeah—Stroganoff! Whatever happened to that stuff?"...

Let's Talk About What Should Constitute Male Rights
Did you know that there is a such a thing as mens' rights activism? It's true! According to this article, there is a small (three inches?) group of HARDCORE BROS who have had it up to here with the ongoing vaginization of America, and they're not gonna take it lying down (unless they got a chick o...
The New Browns Facility's Walls Are Full Of Fake Quotes
This past August, the Cleveland Browns unveiled their newly renovated training facility to the local press.

Unspinning The Mythical Gyroball, The Demon Miracle Pitch That Wasn't

Lou Reed's Secret Chord
Aw hell. Lou Reed is dead. There's a live version of "Sweet Jane" from 2003 that I can't find online right now but is worth a listen today, in the man's honor. Reed is noodling around with the song, working through that famous riff, more of a shuffle now than the strut you remember from the album. J...
Bill Sharman Became A Legend For (And By) Thanking Everyone
Your mom might've told you to write thank-you notes once upon a time, and it seemed like such a chore, an exercise in obsequiousness. Typically, it was rote. Someone slides a sawbuck into a birthday card, you're condemned to scribble out a few lines of scripted treacle: Thank you so much for the mon...
