A Completely Dumb And Unnecessary Argument About Sex Scenes
Batman v Superman is coming out soon, and the man in charge of this fiasco was also the architect of arguably the worst sex scene in movie history.

Arsène Wenger May Look Like Your Grandpa, But He Chills Like A College Freshman

Diamondbacks Unveil So Goddamn Many New Uniforms

Farewell, Elegant Bachelor: Scott Weiland, RIP
The thing about being a rock star in the ’90s is you had to act like you hated being a rock star, and this is where Scott Weiland made his first mistake. As frontman for Stone Temple Pilots, whose 1992 debut Core was an instant Columbia House Hall of Famer, he swaggered and sashayed and preened and ...
75 Voters In Argentine Soccer Federation Election Somehow Produce 76 Votes
All Alfredo Dagna could do upon taking in the results of the Argentina soccer federation’s presidential election last night was collapse into his chair, propping his head up with his hand, probably so that he didn’t start banging it against the table. Those results? 38 votes for the challenger, 38 f...

The Facemask Penalty On The Lions Was The Right Call In The Moment

Oh Hell Yeah, Jeremih Finally Dropped <i>Late Nights </i>
Good morning! While you were sleeping, R&B singer Jeremih finally released Late Nights. (Hence the name.)

The 49ers' Front Office Is Still A Huge Mess
It’s hard to imagine a football team having a worse season, top-to-bottom, than the 2015 San Francisco 49ers.

No One Has Ever Seen A Hail Mary Like Aaron Rodgers's
The thing that stands out, amid all the craziness in Green Bay’s miracle 27-23 win, is just how damn high that pass went.
