Johnny Manziel Is Number One
Johnny Manziel's middle finger to the Washington sideline was funny. It was meaningless, and petty, but above all else, it was fun to see and share and talk about and hear Manziel and his coach be forced to explain.

An Apologist's Guide To Orange Hi-C
"Love is a smoke and is made with the fume of sighs," said Shakespeare. And I sigh until my chest hurts every time I drink orange Hi-C's sweet nectar. But only at McDonald's....

Are You Ready For Some NASCAR?!
I don't know that I've ever heard a crowd boo the "drivers, start your engine" routine, but here you have it. Olympic ice dancers Charlie White and Meryl Davis did the ceremonial duties today at the Pure Michigan 400 today. It was pretty underwhelming and the crowd let them know....

Let It Be Demolished: Paul McCartney Shuts Down Candlestick Park
Paul McCartney is like the Grand Canyon, or bangers and mash: There's no sexing him up. At 72, he's the rare individual for whom the phrase "living legend" feels like kind of a slight.
