Warning: Doug McDermott Will Just Get All Up In Your Picture
Former Creighton star Doug McDermott hasn't exactly taken the NBA by storm in his first weeks as a pro, but that doesn't mean that he's short on confidence. For example, McDermott has no problem rolling right into a famous-person photo that he definitely wasn't invited to....
Rodney Harrison: "I Think You Have To Get Rid Of" RGIII
Washington's 27-7 loss to Tampa Bay could be described as rock bottom if this franchise hadn't proven so adept at digging even deeper. But the disaster of a game seems like this year's turning point: any lingering hope of a late-season surge is gone, fans are angry and embarrassed, and the pundits c...

Titans Tight End Takes Out Ravens Assistant Coach On Sideline

One-Handed Florida Freshman Makes College Basketball Debut
Zach Hodskins is a walk-on freshman basketball player at Florida, and he made his season debut in the final two minutes of last night's season-opening 68-45 blowout of William & Mary.

So Stupid It Just Might Work: <em>Dumb And Dumber To</em>, Reviewed
1. Before you get too wrapped up in the negative early reaction to Dumb and Dumber To, the 20-years-later sequel to the 1994 mega-hit, remember that critics hated the first one. Critics are notoriously bad at predicting what comedies are going to stand the test of time; the target is always moving...

Despicable Us: <em>Foxcatcher</em>, Reviewed
Foxcatcher is a movie about America, but what makes it so compelling is that you don't realize it at first. Directed by Bennett Miller (Capote, Moneyball), the film is too subtle—and, frankly, too strange—to explicitly make some simple, overarching, grandiose statement. And yet, when you replay ...

Seth Griffith Scores Backwards, Through-The-Legs Wonder Goal
This is only the fourth goal in Boston Bruin Seth Griffith's young career, but he may never score a better one.

That Whole ESPN Report On RGIII Was Kind Of A Mess
On Sunday, ESPN had a big Trouble-in-Landover report that was actually two stories rolled into one. The juicier one, a claim that a locker-room outburst was proof that Robert Griffin III had "alienated" his teammates, was quickly disputed by a whole bunch of reporters who were in the room. Now the s...
Stephen Colbert Goes In On The Damn Swiss And Their Nazi Creamer
So, some Swiss coffee creamer company put Adolf Hitler on its packaging; last night on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert had some fun at those bastards' expense. "It is so nice to see the Swiss finally have an opinion on Hitler" is my favorite line, but "I like my coffee like I like my women:...
Fuck Kevin Durant
Tomorrow night, the world will be subjected to The Offseason: Kevin Durant, an HBO show marketed as a documentary that depicts what The Servant has been up to since the end of the Western Conference Finals.
