The Fight Between Berkeley's Academics And Its Football Team Is Getting Ugly

Boring Euro 2016 Got The Boring Portugal-Wales Semifinal It Deserves
Euro 2016 has kind of sucked. There haven’t been more than about four honest-to-goodness entertaining games, the over-expanded field and the resulting imbalanced matchups have given us too many teams too content to play—“play”—for 0-0 draws, and only a couple of the best teams and players have put o...

The Imaginary Murderer Who Helps Me Fall Asleep
What do you do when you can’t sleep? Some people count sheep, but that sounds boring. One coworker, whom I now hate more than ever, revealed that he just lies there and thinks “about how chill and generally good [his] life is.” This does not apply to most of us. Another coworker says she thinks “abo...
Small Talk Is Good, Don't Ya Think?
Plenty of small talk sucks. It may be bad if, as novelist Karan Mahajan wrote recently for The New Yorker, you come from a culture with no norm of small talk and you have to learn the art of idle banter.

Can Boris Diaw Stay Fed And Motivated In Utah?
To make room for Pau Gasol, the Spurs have reportedly traded Boris Diaw to Utah. This is a good, sensible basketball move for the Spurs, and a foreboding development for the future of Diaw. The 34-year-old Frenchman could certainly contribute solid minutes to the Jazz, but the likelihood of that hap...
The Atlanta Braves Borrowed Their Parking Scam From Dan Snyder
