Johnny Manziel's Defense: "Videos Can Be Old" [UPDATE]
This weekend, a video surfaced of Johnny Manziel holding a champagne bottle and singing to Future, which would be a standard bit of athlete-out-on-the-town goofiness if not for the fact that the Browns quarterback spent two months in rehab earlier this year.

Future Is The Hardest-Working Guy In Rap
Atlanta rapper Future hasn't slept much this year.

Odd Future's Second Act: On <em>Loiter Squad</em> And The Art Of Trolling
The hostile-prankster side of Odd Future came roaring back to the fore last month after an unprecedented streak of good behavior (or at least standard promoting-our-new-albums behavior). The Cali skate-rap crew raised eyebrows and/or hackles throughout their press rounds for season three of their Ad...
Time Is Not A Flat Circle: <em>X-Men: Days Of Future Past</em>, Reviewed
1. X-Men: Days of Future Past feels like one of those special-edition comic books that takes all the characters we know and love, drops them in some sort of parallel universe (so the storyline's ramifications don't affect the current canon timeline), and shakes up both the plot and those characters ...
In Praise Of The Schlub Frontman: Future Islands And The Hold Steady

The Outrage Over Students "Cheating" Is Mostly Harmful Nonsense
The Wall Street Journal asked a question with an obvious answer this week under the headline "How Could a Sweet Third-Grader Just Cheat on That School Exam?"

The Ravens Are Fighting With Their Own Left Tackle On Twitter Only Six Days Before Their Opener

Royals Prospect Wil Myers Demolished An ESPN Camera During Last Night's Futures Game
The MLB Futures Game is one of baseball's hidden treasures; while officially part of the All-Star Break festivities, it's held the day before the break actually starts, and thus tends to be ignored by the baseball public. That's a shame, as it's a rare time ESPN puts analyst Keith Law—one of the ...
Buffalo Schoolteachers Charged With Humping In The Bathroom At This Weekend's Bills Game
Making sex in the bathroom is never the brightest nor most hygienic idea, to say nothing of the typical stall conditions at an NFL stadium used by 70,000 people.
