Goaltending Is Not The Canadiens' Problem
The difference between an elite goaltender and an outright bad one really isn't that huge. The best goalie in the league is probably going to give you .925, maybe .930 over the course of a season. The worst regular starter is probably going to sit around .900 or .905. That's two or three extra saves...

Chained Wimbledon: The Joys And Perils Of Prison Tennis
The next time I commit a felony, I think I'll do it in California. It turns out that San Quentin has a fabulous tennis program.

<em>The Maya Rudolph Show</em> Is Half-Man, Half-Muppet, And All Woman
"Men invented nepotism and practically live by it. It's okay for women to do it, too." All week long, I've been thinking about that quote from Roxane Gay's forthcoming essay collection, Bad Feminist—a prayer-hands-emoji-inducing aphorism that echoed again during last night's premiere of The Maya Rud...

FSU Softball Players Need To Work On Their Videobombing Game
We admire the effort here—the ballplayer-tied-to-a-roasting-spit videobomb is one that comes with a high degree of difficulty, and these ladies' execution is solid—but a good videobomb is one that enters the frame unexpectedly and unannounced. The magic is lost when everyone at home can see the pre-...

Robert Mathis's agent is not about to let his client's four-game suspension pass without a fight—and the NFL appears willing to engage him.

Are These The Best Home-Brewed Beers In America?
After spending the last few millennia in aggressive pursuit of leisure and convenience, mankind—by which I mean a vocal minority of reasonably well-off people who are bloggers or my friends—has started voluntarily emulating a dirtier, more troublesome era when we had to make things for ourselves....

NFL Writers Are Mad At Michael Sam Because NFL Writers Are Clowns
Of the four major American sports, the NFL has the bitchiest and most territorial media, who arrogate for themselves certain rights of access that they decry when granted to someone outside the fraternity. They're dogs who snarl when the cat takes their place on the owner's lap....
Browns Coach: Johnny Manziel Texted Me, Asking To Be Drafted
Browns QB coach Dowell Loggains appeared on ESPN Radio Arkansas yesterday, and revealed that Johnny Manziel was the top quarterback on Cleveland's draft board, and that the Browns had tried to make trades with Tennessee at No. 11 and Dallas at No. 16 to move up and grab him.

Kill All Humans, Or At Least Mute Them: <em>Godzilla,</em> Reviewed.
1. The go-to example for critics complaining about big-budget summer blockbusters today—and how they've devolved from some past, theoretical peak—is Steven Spielberg's Jaws. One of that 1975 film's many genius innovations was to hold off, as long as possible, on ever letting us see the shark. The mo...
