The Grierson & Leitch Top 12 Movies Of The First Half Of 2013
Shockingly, we are more than halfway through 2013. As always, the best, most "prestigious" movies won't be released until November or December, because the people who vote on the Oscars are senile and cannot remember anything they saw more than 20 minutes ago. But there have been plenty of outstandi...

<em>Before Midnight</em> Is Darker Than You Want It To Be
Did you want to learn that Jesse and Celine, the couple we fell in love with as they fell in love with each other in the Richard Linklater films Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, have become cantankerous, unhappy middle-aged jerks? That their love has curdled into passive-aggressive routine and bare...
Sundance Film Festival: Five Movies Everyone Will Be Talking About
Spending a week at the Sundance Film Festival, you can see a little bit of everything: horror movies, activist documentaries, experimental low-budget indies, even mainstream comedies starring the leads from Parks & Recreation.

Passed-Out Drunk Guy Forces Fiesta Bowl Officials To Evacuate Women's Restroom

Oregon Football Boosters Are Mad That Chip Kelly Doesn't Hang Out With Them
The Chip Kelly era has brought the Oregon Ducks to two Rose Bowls and a BCS Championship Game in three seasons—and a Fiesta Bowl appearance this season—so it'd seem difficult to complain about the then-unknown New Hampshire offensive coordinator who took over a Pac-10 program. And yet, some of the ...
Wake Forest Head Coach Jeff Bzdelik Will No Longer Be Taking Callers On His Radio Show Because They Were All Angry Wake Forest Fans
Wake Forest was once a proud basketball program: only two different men helmed the team from 1934-1965, Murray Greason and Bones McKinney, and those two built a strong winning tradition. Carl Tracy stabilized the ship after some turnover in the 70s, and from 1989-2007, it was again a tale of two co...
A Message From Mike Vrabel's Stitched-Up Forehead: Always Wear A Helmet When Head-Butting People Wearing Helmets
Mike Vrabel has been a retired football player for a little more than a year now.

Olympic Sailing Called Off For Lack Of Wind
Today was to have been the medal race in the 470 class and a consolation race in the Elliott 6m, but the weather in Weymouth was just too darn nice to waste a day sailing. After waiting more than six hours for the wind to pick up, and failing to sacrifice a goat to Aeolus, racing was called off for ...
This Steelers Fan Has A Memorial Sticker On His Car's Rear Window Dedicated To His Foreskin

What On Earth Is Happening Here? Apparently, A Wild Finish To An Aussie Rules Football Game
I'm not entirely sure what's going here, but I'll be damned if it isn't exciting.

With the Lions trailing by three points in the closing moments, ...
How The Kings Toughened Up And Conquered The NHL
There are two central oddities in the New Jersey Devils-Los Angeles Kings Stanley Cup final, which the Kings lead 2-0 after two overtime wins. One is that the Kings were an eight seed with a meager plus-15 goal differential during the regular season, an eight seed that went 5-2-3 in its last 10 game...
Wake Forest And Elon Baseball Players Staged A "National Anthem Standoff"
It looks like a game of chicken to see which team can remain standing in anthem formation longer, since the actual ballgame can't start until they all leave the field. The above video was taken at the start of yesterday's game. It was sent to us in an email, the text of which is below, presented w...
Robbie Findley Missed An Open Net From Two Yards Out
