Pokémon I Want To Eat, Ranked

Wes Welker Notes That Julian Edelman Is Like Off-Brand Tom Brady
For a while, quarterback Tom Brady and receiver Wes Welker were a winning combination on the Patriots. When Welker left for the Broncos, Julian Edelman filled his spot, and he performed that role well. Too well....

All My Pokémon Are Boring Trash Idiots
This weekend, I walked around Central Park—a hub for Pokémon Go enthusiasts, apparently—for about three hours trying to catch some good pocket monsters. All I got was a flock of Pidgeys. I hate them....
Remember When Tim Duncan Almost Signed With The Magic?
Among NBA players who spent their entire careers with one team, only Kobe Bryant had a longer tenure with his than Tim Duncan. Duncan played 1,643 games for San Antonio, and no player and franchise are as synonymous as Duncan and the Spurs are. It’s easy to forget, then, just how close he came to le...

Try Not Caring About The Latest Fad
So everyone is obsessed with this new Pokémon game, and, after gauging the early potential way wrong, you’re already hopelessly out of touch with this newest mania. Maybe you lack the necessary nostalgia to find the conceit all that appealing, falling as you do right into a narrow age bracket that c...

How To Get A Piano (Like For Your Spouse, Say)
So you’ve decided to get a piano! For yourself, or for, say, the piano-loving Target worker who gave up her lifelong piano access when she moved to Mississippi to live with you as your wife.

Cristiano Ronaldo Dominated The Euro 2016 Final Without Even Playing
Eventually, as the days become months and months become years after yesterday’s Euro 2016 final, where Portugal bested France in extra time, no one will remember that it was the poorly played—though passionate—conclusion to a tournament that itself was stuffed with teams that played like our endeari...
